@ Dr. Grass
Your last sentence seems to me that your entire goal was to insight anger as opposed to share knowledge, which makes me questions your motives all along. And it doesn't make me angry, I am man of color who has been around the upper crust of New York white priviledge for the last 17 years. Nothing you said I haven't heard before (and more eloquently).
You stated that you don't care that she is a nobel prize winner, yet in your previous post you mention some of the best minds in science who happened to be of European descent as some sort of marker of the necessity of the "white" man and his contribution to history.
Now Toni Morrison's comments about white people having a problem I don't agree with, but I think they would do well with some context. The quote (paraphrasing) I gave early was speaking about both sides of racism being crippled by it, which aligns more with my views. The thing I find ironic, is that "white" men of esteem and clout (similar to the gentlemen you gave as an example of human excellence) decided it was in their best interest to create the seeds of racism as means to keep poor "white" people from mingling/self identifying with the "other". Sounds very familiar....
