Do I agree with you that the question posed, "does he think he is white?" is "gross?' Yes. Do I think he is a special case of "despicable" because of his seeming contempt for those whose race--by way of policy and law-- genuinely has held them back? Yes. Absolutely.

(114,501 posts)You seem to be chastising me in your last paragraph even though that is exactly what I was conveying, yet you seemed to feel the need to instruct me on my own sentiment...
Sometimes I misunderstand your responses-in particular, so if so, my apologies. I do hate being misunderstood or misconstrued myself.

(114,501 posts)But your posts are so succinct they leave far too much unclear and open to misinterpretation/misunderstandings. If that doesn't matter to you so much, then okee dokie, but it is hard to have a useful discussion, debate, or commentary that way.

Never a natural warm expression or smile on either of their faces. Very unhappy on the inside.

(114,501 posts)his voting the way the most opportunist (and racist) monied interests want him to vote. So, I suppose the "green" he craves does allow him to "transcend (exploit)" race. All in how one CHOOSES to perceive it and CONSCIOUSLY IGNORES the IMPACTS on others.

Today's lesson in "It's ok to be weird and racist if we don't like the person."
Which is probably slightly better than the previous entry I saw, "Jews. How comes they're like that?"
I just hope a gay guy doesn't do anything this week. Then I'd have to sit through people explaining why homophobic epithets are swell if you mean them the right way.
