I'm an African American woman who felt uncomfortable with your rant about how bad it is for Obama to take $400,000 to speak. It's about the fact that many, many whites feel outrage when black people have the same advantages as white people.
Remember affirmative action? I went to Harvard, where the unqualified "legacy" students -- that is, students whose forebears were alums or heavy donors -- got in and got away with academic cheating and more.
I wish you had explained your objection before launching the rant. You might not see how what you said has anything to do with race, but your rant touches a nerve for this black woman. I wish you would check everything through a race lens for awhile -- Critical Race Theory.
