The Intolerant Tolerant

"If you're gong down the street and you see some green people with  2-inch green strips coming out of their skull as hair what would you do?" I asked him.
"Male or female?"
"Both." I said
"I'd try to get close enough to check out the females."
"I'm asking you this because I heard this black woman complaining in public that whites were racists because some time one asks to touch her hair.  With all the serious problems so-called blacks have with identity, education, economics, politics, culture, self-hate and violence, killing  each other, she's devastated, tortured, torn apart about somebody wanting to touch her hair . . . those green people looking nothing like me, I'd be curious to touch their hair and skin . . . wanting to learn how and why we were so different.  And I expect they'd have the same curiosity about us."
"I'd like to find out if they speak English so I could check out what's happening on the mind-side, if they were friends or enemies . . ."

"In one of those South of the Border countries  with an emphasis on whitening their population I' d be talking to some woman who'd never seen an Afrikan American except in American movies and probably had never been within hollering distance of any so-called black dude anywhere and she'd ask if she could touch my hair, and what gentleman could refuse?  She'd be rubbing it and laughing and saying stuff like   ' . . . tan chinitos' (' such tiny, tight curls').  'Tienes que peinarlo?' ('Do you have to comb it?').  Such natural, innocent curiosity.  And I'd be thinking, Have at it, baby doll, pay me for your thrills, and from that moment we sho'nuff got acquainted.

"And I believe that if these empty-headed so-called blacks who take their identities from non-blacks had sense enough to look at themselves through the eyes of people with strong cultures they'd be interested in some ethnic cleansing among themselves.  They'll also realize that they can't tolerate black-power people without tolerating white-power people and brown-power people, etc., etc., etc."
"Amen.  Say that again."
