I'm not really in the mood to entertain random anonymous comments, but I would like to know more about what you mean here.<br /><br />I tried to mention race and its place in our cultural context, even though race wasn't really the topic of the post. I don't want to come off as someone who denies the very real racism that is inherent in our culture.<br /><br />I was simply trying to comment on our own self-identification and stratification. We tend to be more upset when people who look like us are treated unjustly, as opposed to realizing that everyone looks like us.<br /><br />That doesn't and shouldn't negate the real differences in race, but that's really another issue.<br /><br />To whoever left the comment, I might simply ask what aspects of racism in my neighborhood or general area of the country do I not recognize and understand? How could you tell that from a post that isn't about race?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455778871683941763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14667609.post-64608568880667563822012-04-10T15:26:57.617-04:002012-04-10T15:26:57.617-04:00Written like a white northh-easterner with no unde...Written like a white northh-easterner with no understanding of the effects of racism apparent in his own backyard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
