The other day I just tweet-censured myself:
“Maybe I shouldn’t have add "Black/Afro-American Male" in some form this morning. "Other" would’ve been better http://okcupid.com/z/2v”
Saw these stats/facts from SexActu. So annoying to see what I felt. So annoying to censured myself in the real-time blogging realm. Just because I don’t want to be seen as the angry/whiny black man. Because it’s another bad thing society-wise you know.
But yeah, nothing new actually. That is maybe the worse part.
To White people who could be offended by such statistics, I would just say to you something I’ve learned from Dave Chappelle here:
Calm down motherfuckers, you win by default.

Offended? like, do you think men feel offended when realizing that women have lower wages etc?
I just can’t imagine someone feeling offended because (s)he’s on the privileged side of discrimination…
Well, maybe it’s only in the US but yeah, some people assumed as white protest those facts, saying that it’s not entirely true because they don’t feel the privilege side of it. And I can understand them too. It’s complex.
There is also people saying that they don’t want inter-racial couples because they want their children white. A recent case in Louisiana showed that:

Some voices are against the natural movement of mixity and they feel offended by that kind of facts (racism) even if it seems unappropriate to do so.
In France they just don’t do it publicly :)
