Just for the record

My reaction to a scene and character on X-Files:

I am so fucking sick of The Sassy Black Woman.

The combination of privilege/protection because of race and gender, along with the condescension, patronizing (matronizing) and aggression deserves a much more robust response than the usual. You can imagine what I think it should be.



A related unPC note: a Black person of my acquaintance, who has spent their life almost entirely in a White world, by clear choice, with only tangential relationships with other Blacks, is nonetheless always scanning for White racism. Responding to a program in Britain, a cooking show, no less, this was the set of responses: Are they cooking food for the (insert People of Color group here) that they would like or is it just British food? Do they treat those people well? Why is the final dinner just with the Whites? 

Here you have the Obama Reflex: Black people who live in this country --whether to call them Americans or not is a good question-- and whose lives are entirely dependent on the good will, protection (and guilt) of Whites, carry around an unquenchable suspicion and resentment of the very people who have made their lives possible. They rely entirely on Shelby Steele's damnable bargain of license and deference. 

Thanks, Rev "Dr" King, for your contribution.
