Wednesday afternoon in the break room a black co-worker was telling me about her husband's great, high-paying managerial job that paled into comparison to her sister-in-law's great, high-paying managerial job, which paid in the six-figures.

Then I went to the Internet café and learned I had been banned from Democratic Underground.com for saying a lot of black people are doing well these days and all this 1960's-style ranting about racism had outlived its usefulness.

I may have also gotten kicked off because I had gotten sick of the far-Left freaks piling on me and telling me I espoused "classic 21st century racism," so I told one of them to get back to banging her bongo drums at some ineffectual rally. Or maybe it was because when someone said black babies are three times more likely to die than white babies I pointed out there's not a hospital in this country with a "whites only" sign on the door, so it's not that the help isn't there, but maybe we could look at how many of the mothers are on crack or other drugs. That was a stereotype, someone said, and they informed me they had reported my post for it. Maybe they should also report the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services:

Crack cocaine use is more prevalent among Blacks and Hispanics than Whites, and their adverse fetal effects are being demonstrated. In an investigation of cocaine, Chasnoff et al. found that the infants of cocaine-using mothers (with or without other drugs) had significantly lower birthweight, increased prematurity, and increased incidence of intra-uterine growth retardation.

Call Rev. Wright! The Department of Health is staffed by Klansmen!

Later that same day another black female co-worker was breaking up giggling as she told me she had been listening to a call-in talk show where a black woman called in complaining about the cover of Vogue magazine featuring basketball star LeBron James and model Gisele Bündchen. The caller was incensed and claimed they would never let a black woman on the cover of Vogue. The host then pointed out Jennifer Hudson had been on the cover just the previous month. The caller said that was a sign of how much racism was in society, that she would even feel insecure about such a thing.

"It's stuff like that that makes us look stupid!," my black female co-worker said. Fresh from reading my banned notice in the Internet café, I told her if I had said the same thing she had just said, people would have been all over me with sticks. Why is it a white man is not allowed to express an opinion that black people hold? Would Bill Cosby poke me in the eye for quoting him?

The funny thing is, the guy who was mixing it up with me over this "white privilege" thing on Democratic Underground was Indian, not black, and I think the rest of the freaks were a bunch of honkies. Black people are proud to tell you they're making six-figures, they have beach houses and Escalades and solid nuclear families. It's their hyper-sensitive, non-black "defenders" on the far Left and Sunday morning money changers like Rev. Jeremiah Wright who can only sleep at night if images of black people in shackles dance in their heads.
