GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER
quote:
>Now, if you want to believe that America's racial problems stem from economic systems, you have that right. However, the rest of us have the right to consider you an overinflated gasbag.> Taylor Kingston
2300+ ELO Grand Coulee, NM Taylor Kingston, the man who
heliumized his chess rating with 500 points of vapor, is calling this
writer a gasbag filled to overflowing.
Well, right. The man occasionally gets a penprick on target.
But not his history.
He knows little of that, and he appears to imagine that mentioning
the distinction between feudalism and its antithesis capitalism, which
is the supersedure of barons by bourgeois, to be sufficiently precious
as to merit the predictable insult of pseudo-erudition.
SIDNEY POITIER IS OKAY
And, yes, I do think that the race problem ultimately comes
down to economics and class.
The classic question asked by parents when hearing that their
daughter might be marrying a Negro is, "Okay darling, what are we
talking about here? Is he a nigger with a ghetto-blaster or a colored
gentlemen with a doctor's bag?"
That question pretty much sums up the common sense of the matter in
the vast majority of instances.
