Does race play a part in your everyday life?
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.
Its my trademark, my own distinctive way of posting.
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?
White Fo' Life, Cuz.
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 ****** if you're black. To alot of whites a ****** is a ****** no matter his class, thats just the way it is. Economics doesn't protect one from racism and discrimination.
I bolded this part due to the fact that I believe that MOST of us feel this way. We really don't give a shit what others look like, I do have a problem with people who get in my face just to do it be they white or black.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.

Tell that to the Goldman family, Bass.
They might not have your clearly unbiased vision of the part class and money play on how one is treated in this society.
Cry me a river, thats just one instance where celebrity, not money won over true justice. Blacks are the ones who get screwed over the most by the justice system.
