ScottParticipantIt wouldn’t have bothered me back when I was dating. I’ve been married 23 years now, and my wife lets weight issues bother her, but it’s truly not an issue that bothers me. I don’t know if this matters or not, but for what it’s worth, I’ve always been fairly thin. I wish size wasn’t a hangup for people. Good luck with your diet and exercise, but if you’re naturally more voluptuous and your weight returns, I hope you won’t let it get you down, and I hope you can feel pity for small-minded people. I’ve heard there are creams or lotions that women use after pregnancy to diminish stretch marks, but I don’t know details about them. A dermatologist might be able to help.

ScottParticipant‘Me,’ why do you assume that a violent hate crime against a white person didn’t happen? Why do you refer to it as an ‘incident that you wish to call racial’? Black folks commit hate crimes against white folks, just like any race commits hate crimes. Blacks don’t have any lock on sainthood in that regard. And unless you’re quite a bit older than you sound, you personally never got ousted from a bus seat or barred from dressing rooms. That’s just something you’ve heard about. I can tell you from my own experience that many black folks are thoroughly racist. I was brought up by devout Christian parents who raised me not to be racist, but after sending my own children to city schools where they were relentlessly attacked, bullied and harassed by black kids, I’ve changed. I could never get any help from white school administrators, because they were afraid of being tagged as racists if they disciplined black kids. I could never get any help from black parents, because they were pleased that their kids were being rotten to white kids. After all, they’re the ones who raised their kids to hate whites. What’s paradoxical is, my kids are now grown and they don’t have a racist bone in their bodies. They’ve been the victims of racism, and so they see it as wrong and evil. I, on the other hand, no longer look at black people the same. Once I get to know a black person, if I feel they’re trustworthy, I’ll let down my guard. But that guard is in place for a good reason. After my experiences trying to keep my kids safe, I feel wiser but much more hopeless about the racial divide.
