Simple as That

Which brings us to tonight's theme: the difference between racism and snobbery. There is a big difference, it seems to me, between the two. Furthermore it seems to me that most of the high profile folks who spout the R word have little insight into the S word and as a result they do huge amounts of sociological damage. It seems to me even furthermore that those same folks who confuse 'racism' with 'snobbery' do so at at least a semiconscious level. That is to say, they know at that level that what they are condemning as racism is really snobbery. So why do they do it? They do it because they can tolerate racism far more than they can tolerate snobbery.

Being the 'victim' of a racist asshole is far more acceptable than being the 'victim' of a culturally superior snob. This is the Path of Least Embarrassment which the African American Community has followed over the years, consistently. It is time they woke up and smelled the coffee.

Simple as that.
