NEVER LET A PRINCIPLE GET IN THE WAY OF A PERSON.
See the person, then the principle, then the principle again. Then the person again. It’s a dance, where balance and proportion win, if you are well adjusted.
How does this play out over time? I can’t see. I’m a bit drunk.
Personally, I deal with all sorts of people just fine. I had a very good discussion tonight with a lesbian couple about a variety of topics. They were very likable, and I hope to see them again. I like Camille Paglia a lot, but she identifies, I think, as a man, without doing so theatrically and in your face publicly. It’s just what she feels.
Last night I was drinking in a black bar. One or two were angry. Not with me, but with life. Life can kick you in the balls sometimes, black or white. Black people emote differently than white people, as a very general, perhaps racist rule. Personally, I have always had vastly more fun with black folks, starting with a trip to Speakeasy in Philadelphia with a Haitian I knew some time in the mid 1980’s.
We all need this back and forth so much. Whites need blacks, in so many ways, but blacks also need whites, in some ways. I would say whites benefit from blacks more than blacks benefit from whites, but this is pointing out, effectively, that Leftist cant is completely irrelevant and useless.
