Ann, you said 'a disproportionately large number of blacks, especially well-off blacks in big cities like New York and Chicago, view themselves as 'victims of racism' and all whites and Asians as 'racist oppressors,' so every accidental bump or jostle is instantly elevated from 'whoops' to 'racist assault,' and is reacted to accordingly.' While I do not view myself as a 'victim of racism,' I DO view white people as self-centered, self-absorbed, intrusive, rude and oblivious to the personal space of others. Example: some of you just HAVE to read your newspaper, regardless of how crowded the subway is. Many times I've had to ask white folks to get their filthy newspapers out of my face, off my clothing and off my hair. Drinking piping-hot coffee on a moving vehicle is not only stupid, but dangerous. Some of you can't seem to tell when you're standing on someone's feet. Yawning with your mouths open, resting your magazines on people on a crowded train, and my goodness the hair tossing thing. It's not only rude but unsanitary. So it's not a racism thing, it's a rude thing. Get it?
