[Bgs-list] Did they do the right thing?

[Rob Currie]

  I think everyone is so uptight these days. We have become a bunch of
sensitive, soft, video-game playing, low testerone/ crybabies while real
discrimination & bigotry continues to plague people of color and other
minorities. I would rather laugh at a joke about our racial, cultural,
economic, social or other differences or even have a non-black person call
me the N-word that get shot down from 41 bullets by a police or private
citizen standing their ground. Or even the persistent & unchecked
institutional and early childhood racial discrimination, along with the
unfair & unequal punishment that accompanies that. These struggles &
challenges are what's worth fighting for as they endure even as we
constantly break down racial barriers in all areas of American and
international socio-economic. Imagine after the last 50 years we are still
having people being the 1st Black, Latino or etc., breaking glass ceilings.
Women of all racial backgrounds are making more progress towards an even
playing field than any other similarly discriminated or oppressed
socio-economic groups such as Black or Latino males or even children & the
elderly, it seems. We keep worrying about the wrong thing or getting your
struggle co-oped by some marketing executive.
