there was a wickedly funny and sometimes deep column in the city paper called Your Negro Tour Guide
This sounds a lot like ¡Ask A Mexican!, which I heartily recommend to anyone who doesn't know it.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
okay, cause it sounds like treating houses differently based on whether it has wood studs or sheet rock :)
Anyway, God wants us to use brick.

"Structural Racism" is probably the term Gudanov thinking of. Racism rather than discrimination, because the point is that it is something built into the system that perpetuates white supremacy without anyone having to consciously discriminate - that will continue simply by people doing nothing and will require positive action to change. The distinction between structural and individual racism is important because structural racism is much easier for white people to pretend does not exist when dealing with other white people.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm pretty sure God loves ALL the building materials, he just wants brick houses with brick houses and sheet rock with sheet rock.
(Wood studs are all going to hell.)

When I lived in Cincinnati, there was a wickedly funny and sometimes deep column in the city paper called Your Negro Tour Guide (by a black woman, natch.)
LOVED that column.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe it's just because I live in DC, but wealthy does not always equal white around here.
True around the northeast where I've lived! My ex boyfriend is black, but the real differences between us came from the fact that he grew up upper middle class in the suburbs and I grew up middle middle class in the city.

I've heard the phrase "systemic racism" but "structural" is new to me.
