Reply #37: the remark: 'As for myself, I have never been in your shoes'

[bigtree]

What if the poster wasn't wearing the 'shoes'? Would that give his opinion that much less weight as to render it unbelievable? Should every instruction from a minority on racism be heeded as gospel?

I suggest that discussion of these issues, while enhanced by personal accounts and experiences, can be credible without the participation of the 'victims'.

Sorry that my post had an accusatory tone. It wasn't intended.
