The whites who say that whites are the very best, are in fact the very worst. Certainly, there have been some great whites, but there have been great non-whites, too, and one thing that those great people have in common is that, by and large, they don’t give a damn about race.

I’m sorry, but the Domain of Greyhawk does not recognize the [Scarlet Brotherhood](http://www.canonfire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scarlet_Brotherhood) as a charity. 😃

I’m too busy trying to support myself to worry too much about anyone else of any race. I do, however, donate what I can to a charity that doesn’t give a crap what color you are if you need help.

Do what you want with your money. Your question isn’t about you being allowed to do that, though, is it? Your question is about approval, and you know you don’t have it, and that seems to really bother you.

So why are you pretending you’re talking to “you blacks”? You’re obviously not. You’re talking to the white people - the vast majority of them, by the way - who don’t believe the kind of ridiculous and poisonous things you believe. Right? Isn’t your question really “why aren’t you racist like me?”

Seriously. If my basic literacy was that bad, I too would want to spend most of my time in a fantasy world where people recognized me as superior just because of my skin and eye color.

Racism gives you something to feel proud about when you don’t have anything else to feel proud about.

Please be sure to donate to the White Peoples’ Literacy League. It appears they need it.

That’s how I read the OP also.  
As to “Why aren’t I a racist like you?”  
Because I’ve never been a blue-eyed blond, but my SO is? So who is “Just like us?”  
Because I know some brilliant people from many parts of the world?  
Because I know some real stinkers that look just like me?  
Because on the internet, no one can tell your skin color?

Wow. Well, for me, I’m white too. Most of the people I’ve met or palled around with were white. That also means, the highest majority of assholes I’ve met are also white.

Probably why I don’t consider “WHITE only” charities.

OTOH, I’m unemployed and white, so could you hire me, Don? Consider me a white charity while reading my resume. 😃
