I've lamented this before.  I'm sorry it managed to hit you in such a personal way. *hugs*

I had this same problem in grade school when I was being bullied by an Irish kid who was a few years older, gigantic, and had friends who'd pin me down while he pummelled me.  When I tried to report him the school said they couldn't get involved because his parents had pre-emptively contacted them and said I was using ethnic slurs and picking on his younger brother for racist reasons. (I wasn't doing either at all)

The whole 'repressed black culture' thing is fine with me if it causes people to band together - what I don't care for is how many avenues of 'vengeful' hatred I have to sit through as a result of others being proud of who they are.

It makes me grumble that any race other than caucasian can claim minority status in just about everything, and use their birthrights for special priviledges.  But then again all this stuff makes my head want to explode. blargy-o.

Don't apologize for having feelings other than ^_^ - we love all of you, not just the cute & fun stuff. *hugs more*
