My Conversation with a Black Man

I just had a back and forth email conversation with a fella who I'll henceforth refer to as "Exhibit A". He commented on the recent drop in the polls for Obama as more evidence of our continued American racist mentality.

I, of course, being someone who has difficulty keeping his mouth shut immediately responded by asking Xhibit what race had to do with Obama's falling poll numbers. Xhibit was really quite eloquent when he said, "You are never going to understand."

I explained to Mr. X that I thought the racist take on the falling poll numbers was in itself a racist view, that immediately taking refuge in the weak-minded victim-hooded socialist tradition of race-baiting was in fact bigoted.

After much deliberation and thought, and I'm sure a spell-check, Mr. X said, "LMFAO. There's nothing racist about it. You just don't understand."

My natural reaction to this was, "You're right. I don't understand using race as a means of continuing years of hatred and ignorance, for it is the means by which millions of Africans have been killed by thugs and governments along with ethnic Serbs, etc. etc."

Well, you can imagine that this just infuriated Mr. X. He started calling me names like: "Name Caller, NO-Job guy," and the like. I told him that I work for the man - me. He didn't seem to like this much either. I explained that it is bigots like himself that cause more harm than good and that the Socialist policies of the Democrat party are the cause of continued slavery and oppression in the inner-city and in the rural country.

At this point Mr. X said good-bye, rather, GOOD-BYE!, and I requested him as a friend on Facebook. I don't know if he's going to accept me as a friend, after all, I'm a white guy.
