No revelealing.
Just my thought...No, no appointing.<br />No revelealing.<br />Just my thoughts, put pointedly surely, but I'm expecting to make you do anything or uncover big secrets. <br /><br />Its just that - while you certainly have a right to be tired [though perhaps less of a right than the families of Mr Shipp and Mr Smith - or even ost black folks generally] - I think you allow your weariness - or at worst your laziness - to lessen the dignity of your message.<br /><br />For instance: was desegregation ever the goal?Feodorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216659885831979653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-14121392517043379442012-04-06T22:00:02.826-07:002012-04-06T22:00:02.826-07:00"It would be a shame if you remain comfortabl..."It would be a shame if you remain comfortable in willful ignorance."<br />So you have appointed yourself to make me uncomfortable and reveal to me my "instincts of a white man". "Oh, I am sure you’re pretty good for a white guy in a white crowd."<br />The one thing I discovered early in my work was that no-one would love or respect me if I did my job of desegregation correctly. That proved profoundly true. After 30 years in the middle between all you fools of every race, I'm tired. Now you want to tell me how wrong, ignorant,and willful I am. Do that somewhere else.

I really don't care about solidarity, just equity and justice. As for Mr. Ship & Smith they like the whites, are there to drag up the past, for effect, to give impact to the point.<br />" ....it’s not apparent to me that you have the moral grasp to copy such documents.

You, too? This is the image undergirding you...Damn. You, too? This is the image undergirding your call for solidarity? The murders of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith?<br /><br />You might have given their names. In using their death for a blog post, the least you could have done is give their names. Their names weren’t taken away were they?<br /><br />Nor their families. They have families, too. Living ones. <br /><br />But you don’t talk about them. You’re talking about white folks. Racist white folks and so I guess you wanted to show some. So you did. Which is fine. But then, I assume unthinkingly, you felt there would'nt be that punch if you didn’t show what they were so gleeful about. So you did. <br /><br />You gave us two lynched black men that are important for your blog only because of how the positions of their bodies, the manner of their death reflects on the white… audience.<br /><br />Lynched over eighty years ago. And still Mr. Shipp and Mr. Smith cannot be seen as autonomous lives of dignity.<br /><br />Even by a white man on their side.<br /><br />Yeah. Like Mr. Kruse-Safford said - and like him as well - it’s not apparent to me that you have the moral grasp to copy such documents. Your first instinct does not seem to see two human beings. In other words, you have the instincts of a white man. LIke Mr. Kruse-Safford, you have the words and the comforting memories, but where is the result of efforts to retrain your own racist inheritances? When did you do the hard practice for life on our side? Or did you just show up come game times?Feodorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216659885831979653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-86950925006318123872012-03-25T08:44:35.906-07:002012-03-25T08:44:35.906-07:00It's interesting tracking the left's respo...It's interesting tracking the left's response to a lot of things, wondering how many understand the "non" in nonviolence not as a principle, but a situation-dependent tactic.<br /><br />Of course I'm in typically bitter mood right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508594323182473801.post-209406132083525852012-03-15T17:09:25.926-07:002012-03-15T17:09:25.926-07:00Yup, might happen, such has happened before.
