MM and RB, I don't think shakran believes in reverse racism. He only recognizes racism. I think.
I think he interprets remarks - that may only demarcate by race - as necessarily racist in response to the well-deserved sensitivity that black people have about derogatory remarks made about them by white people and tries to account for them as being of the same phenomena when it is simply not true.

As if to say, "look at how well I deal with being called a 'whitey.' Why can't you deal with it as well as I do?"

I think that's an attitude that is deliberately ignorant of why it is even an issue in the first place.

And I think I have voiced this same position multiple times now in multiple ways and I'm confident that I cannot say it in any other. In other words, I'm done.
