"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Come on Ladies...
Don't ya think it's just a bit hypocritical to beat on Silver for mentioning that the "race card" might not need to be pulled in this instance and then beat on him for pulling one?
Yes, reverse discrimination happens (disguised as "affirmative action" or not), and yes, middle to upper class white males are the primary targets.
To ridicule him for claiming it exists at all in areas is ridiculous; especially after pages of jumping on him about the continued existence of racism after he mentioned that an at best borderline racist comment was perhaps out of line.
But I guess because the comment was about "white society" it can't possibly be racist and that because he's "white" no one could have possibly judged him negatively (or judged someone higher, which is the same thing)...

Nope. But then, I could just be racist against white people. Originally Posted by MartianDestiny
