There is nothing lame about supporting someone who echoes you sentiments. I would like to thank both of you for your postings it gives me faith that things may eventually improve. 🙂

Speaking as another Afican-American female who grew up in the midwest i have experienced this. I can only explain it by saying that they must honestly( and mistakenly ) belive that a Black person cannot understand a completely standard English sentence, or they feel they are showing some sort of ‘ghetto’ solidarity. Either way the speaker is mistaken and most listeners take offense.
