Was it only me or did anyone else find Joe Biden's remark today (who is and isn't "black")

3. How do you define unexamined?

It's pretty safe to say that the black population knows where we're coming from. Most of the time they sense the racism and forgive the naivete. I could never feel being black. I can empathize, but never extrapolate being in that position. The fact that I can even state that is a start and only a start. The black man has a different perspective than the black woman. A point of view that is very different than the dichotomy of white men and white women. Now, there is an hierarchy in every community. The issue of color is very real in the black community. So to differentiate about who is black in the black population is right there at the basics of shade. Then you get the issue of who is more true to the black struggle and who is the sellout. As a white person, do you see the black or do you look past it and only see the human? Is there resentment that you don't see the black? Should I expect assimilation into my world or should I castigate myself for not assimilating into the black world. Think of music on our society and how hip it is to dig black music. I think the question is a great one. Hope I didn't step on too many toes.
