Do you expect me to?
But to answer your question: I could give a shit less. Racism is not something I like discussing, even though I'm very knowledgeable about the subject.
And to be honest with you homes; "What's it like to be a white person?" has got to be one of the stupidest questions I've seen/heard in quite a while.

Yeah, I kinda meant that to be the opposite of an insult..there's a word for it..I forgot it though....ah, good old Thesaurus...a compliment.
Except for the Uncle Tom thing..I just said that to be racist....
I'd imagine that being white is a lot like being any other race. There are some people out there that hate you for it. Then there are some people out there that don't give a shit what colour you are. If you want to know what the real difference between people is, then you should ask someone what it's like to be poor.

Well I'm flattered.
Good, good. That was the desired reaction.

Come on...we all know you meant "gay"...

Maybe, but I think it has more to do with my white skin and blue eyes. I've never had a family member lock teh car door when a flaming gay guy skips by. But let a black guy wearing a basketball jersey walk by...and the doors get locked so fast you'd think it was a race. no pun intended.

Not at all. As a gay white man I get treated better than black people. However, poor people usually end up getting treated worse than all the others put togeter.
Don't you think that has to do with location though? You might just happen to live somewhere that homosexuality isn't frowned upon as much.
You're definitely right about the poor though, doesn't matter what color you are if you're poor, most people just 'see' poor as being your color.

Red, Black, White if they look threatening then there might be a reaction.
That doesn't have as much to do with race as common sense.

First, you just like to be contrary with me.
Second, let me know how many times my family members lock the door when a black guy walks by next time you're in the car with them.

Sounds like a plan.

I guess I should also keep my eyes open for this behavior as well then.
I would probably laugh myself out of my car if I saw this.

As long as you don't flaunt it, I won't hate you...lol 😛
