<p>well, I worry every time my kids step out the door, expecting disaster not as a result of skin color but from cruel fate.</p>
<p>And everyone feels inferior in many departments,…whether the source for this is society, family, peers. I am not being provocative when I notice how whites are the lesser of the world’s athletes. And I think physical prowess is a much more immediate index of power than the hidden dimension of intellect or even wealth. I believe that a majority of whites are actually in awe of black people perhaps though not for the reasons you would like to see. The skinheads are out to exterminate the jews too in a hatred which doesn’t in my mind easily trace back to slavery. Your point about the internalization of inferiority is very meaningful because it leads to a deflection of all compliments. Much like when a female finds me sexy(yes this happened recently) I am at a loss to comprehend that evaluation.</p>
<p>just read your prior post. I always think of you as a happy guy more fortunate than almost anyone I’ve ever known. I’m actually relieved to find someone in this world I can respect since mostly everyone else is so inevitably disappointing. And what we have in common that transcends the actually quite humorous pigmentation of skin(like beanie babies we humans are) is the certainty that family is our sacred and blessed occupation.</p>
