It seems that guilt is your prime motivator in matters of race. That fact that you think that you see past it is humorous to me.
What I feel, mostly, is anger. There may indeed be some guilt behind it as well. Of course you can see past it, to a degree, once you acknowledge it.
What's blocking your sight in this regard?
You surely understand the difference between the phrases "white People" and "the white man". I was involved in canvassing against prop 3(protection of marriage) and never once heard anyone say "the straight man". It is confusing the issue.
Any time there is opposition to a rights movement, that opposition has an identity that it gathers around. I'm sure you heard several references to, for example, "family values advocates" and similar people.
I disagree and I stand by my previous argument.
I'm sure you do.
Cuz... I don't know what term you are referring to. Maybe I would make similar statements.

Among other things, it's a slang term in Britain for a cigarette.
You are the one imv that is reinforcing race based identity. I do my best to address it without reinforcing it. I have no problem confronting the reality of racial inequality and injustice without resorting to to the kind of rhetoric that you are so fond of. Rhetoric that more often than not serves to perpetuate a racially divided society.
Thanks for your opinion. If you chop off the stalk of a dandelion, and ignore the roots, then it grows back. Everyone agree with cutting off the stalk, but fewer people are comfortable with digging down a couple of feet to get the entire root; the lawn gets messy. I know you like your lawns nice and neat.
Agreed, but it is an unfair characterization of my position/statements.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was referring to a cause and equivalent of what you were describing, not directly characterizing that particular statement.
