Thank you for two brilliant pieces this week! The “Glass Ceiling” post made me laugh out loud with your insightful comments. The “Interracial Marriage” post rang true for me. My Hispanic aunt is married to a black man and experienced more racism from his family and friends than he did from hers. My Hispanic mother married my white father, and he encountered more racism from her side than she did from his as well.

Your site gives me a virtual pat on the back. I dared to shun the feminist ideals and take my Masters-degreed self out of the workplace to stay at home with my sons. Feminists would be disgusted to know I love being at home with my sons and being married to a MAN who is not afraid to support a family.

Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you. 

I wish you all the best with your wonderful family. If you think you’ve made the right decision now, wait until you are older. You will see the wisdom of what you’ve done with even greater clarity. You will never regret it.

So if her experience is typical — and we have no reason to believe otherwise — it appears that blacks are more racists than Hispanics, and Hispanics are more racist than whites.

I will file that under “Useful Information.”

Of course, the point isn’t who is more racist, but that racial consciousness is natural.

Liberals would say that it may be natural but that whites should suppress it.  Thay way, other races can catch up. But this argument is not a denial of racial consciousness. It’s a belief that whites should be conscious of racial identity but only to the extent that they use it to dispossess and demoralize themselves.
