Reply #95: I was reacting to her statement not his, and hers were part of RNC Memes [View All]

his should be a window into a reality though. Yes, his statement was condescending beyond belief, but sadly a reality. Color of skin does determine opportunity not just in our society. But all societies still struggling with the remnants of colonialism.

I can make this same statement about Mexico for example, or France, or England... I could go on.

So we should use this as a discussion moment. What he said should be a teachable moment... in our road to not only a post racial society, but a post colonial society... and yes the US Empire will have to give the ghost someday, and this little issue with race we will struggle for a long time, was established in the 16th century.
