That's pretty much on the verge of being condescending. You don't know me from Adam so quit making assumptions.

Yeah well you could have couched it a little better. You could have easily just said "some blacks" instead of adding "ignorant" and "folk." If you are talking about people who thrash out at whites for (what they conceive) as being "privileged" they are not "folk" which denotes a more congenial disposition. You're talking about people with an axe to grind, or as you put it a club to wield. "Ignorant" can have two connotations one being plainly "lacking in knowledge." But it can also mean "lacking in manners" or "devoid of civility." I was cringing thinking you were implying the latter.

Those "inaccurate descriptor" I like you to know were for you benefit. I didn't want to transgress against any Leftist PC by-laws I was unaware of.

You say "socially conscious
minority friends" with such an air of superiority that it just exasperates me.

Bravo! I seen that your college professors taught you well. If it's not straight from your leftist political echo chamber than it is not a worthy contribution. The free-thinkers must assimilate, resistance if futile.

No, but if you seen a good one, please share.
