Does race play a part in your everyday life?

Just the rat race.

Just when I thought I was getting ahead in the rat race, along came faster rats!

Yes, it does.I like to stick to my own kind. I stay amongst Black people, like me whenever I can.

Yes race does play a part in the Bass' everyday life, from driving his expensive car in front of jealous white police, shopping in stores and getting followed around, people thinking the Bass is a "thug" because he sometimes has his Afro braided down into cornrows, race plays a part. The Bass OTOH could cares less about how white people look and what car they drive and their hair style, the Bass does not prejudge people based on silly nonsense like that.

But he does talk about himself in the third person.

I never said that you had no right to have an opinion. I just said that it was, in fact, worth nothing.

Well to most people it looks like you have issues. But if it makes you happy, don't let us stop you.

I do have a point to make. Willaim Joyce is the resident white racist on the board. He demands we separate the races and live in our own enclaves. His argument being that it is unnatural for the different races to live and associate together. All us white honkies remind him what a racist he is and yet we have two black people on this board now telling us THEY agree. They would rather stay amongst their "own".

Does that make you racist?

The words that the Bass says, not his method of saying them is what counts and the Bass says the US is very racially divided, but because many people interpret racism as something thats overt they forget about covert racism, that racism and racist thoughts that exist beneath the surface.

The Bass never said he agrees with racial separatism, here in the town the Bass lives in deep in the heart of Mississippi in the Delta there are blacks and whites who have lived here for decades without any conflict, howbeit these are wealthy people here. The Bass says the country is racially divided but donesn't agree it should be that way.

You have incurred the wrath of the Bass, quit your racist ranting or face annihilation.

Well, it's pretty clear that racial issues loom large in some of our heads, and really isn't so important to others of us

It is equally obvious to me that class manifests divisions in our lives far more than race does.

Why?

Because it really doesn't matter what we think about the class divide, our economic circumstances dictate which class we are in, the lifestyles we will choose and so forth.

I may have absolutely nothing against multibillionaires, and they may have absolutely nothing against me.

STILL...

The likelihood that we will become friends, that our children will go to the same schools, that our families will bump into one another on vacation, that I'm likely to drop over for coffee, or to borrow a cup of sugar from the local billionaire in my neighborhood is basically ZERO.

Don't get the Bass twisted, class is class, but if you're rich you're just a rich nigger if you're black. To alot of whites a nigger is a nigger no matter his class, thats just the way it is. Economics doesn't protect one from racism and discrimination.
