In reading one of my new favorite blogs, Feministe, and I came across this post. Jane Gault of Asymmetrical information had linked to a previous post at Feminste, dealing with food stamps. She said
“I started to wonder: what is this “EBT” thing that’s on all the supermarket checkout card machines? So I asked the checkout woman. She stared at me.
‘That’s for food stamps,’ she said, finally. She was black. I am so white that sometimes, in the early morning, I blind myself in the bathroom mirror. I have never felt like such a dumb, privileged middle class white girl in my life. Ever.”
Jill (one of the authors at Feministe) then mentions a trackback to her food stamp post, from dispatches from TJICistan.
The title of his post is, “Jane, you’re (sic) disappoint me!”
In this post, he said:
“In short, I really don’t care if Feministe calls me a racist. I know it not to be true, at least by any sane definition of the word, and the people whos opinions I care about also know it to be true. I support Rice for president, if she runs. I pushed to hire the first black engineer into my division at my first job after college. I support race-blind policies at all levels of government (for as long as we fall short of anarchotopia, at least).”
Which is nothing short of, “I’m not a racist, I’ve got black friends!”
But then posts this:
So, to all you Negros, GET A JOB!… because TJICISTAN says so!
