If you don't think you've got it, you've got it |
One of the truly great mysteries of life these days is what possesses any white American to think they have any right whatsoever to question the social actions of any black American. All that's going to happen is you're going to eat a much deserved shit sandwich.
I note this because we had two instances this past week of white folks passing along their "wisdom" to black folks with all the elan of Donald Trump when he tries to seduce women by grabbing them by the p*****. First, Megyn Kelly (worked for racist Fox News and couldn't hold keep her job at non-racist NBC) went on Bill Maher's (look up insufferable in the dictionary and Maher's picture is featured) HBO show Real Time and told black Americans how they're children should be educated (apparently has something to do with not having Kelly's kids take part in black history and Maher unabashedly accentuating his white privilege). One supposes they were just keeping it "real."
Second, Swedish tennis pro Zlatan Ibrahimovic took time this week to give social activist hero Lebron James some advice about his outspokenness on issues facing black Americans, telling James in essence that he should just shut up and dribble. James had a good chuckle, vowed he would never quit, and was polite enough to not say "Who the fuck is Zlatan Ibrahimovic?" like I did. On the bright side, as a tennis player, Ibrahimovic is quite familiar with unforced errors.
Look, when it comes to the issues facing black Americans I'm neither an expert nor do I have the answers. But I am smart enough to know that no group in the history of mankind has had a cushier berth than white American males such as myself, and maybe it's best if I just shut up and listen when folks whose life experiences do not remotely match mine are advocating for themselves.
