It's like a mating call for Lefties.<br /><br />Good luck trying to be something different than what you are. <br /><br />And always remember: bad people prey on the weak. Having some guilt complex about yourself -- enshrouded in fashionable language -- is still weakness. Weakness never protects you. It just lets horrible people know that you're an available item on the menu. Politically correct people think they're buying protection, proselytizing about their faith in government -- government run by the really, really smart people, just like them.<br /><br />Predators go after the easiest meal. That's not a proud red-blooded American with a gun. That's more likely to be a scrawny loser with a graduate degree from an elite university whose liberal faith confers him some kind of uber status, empowering him to proclaim how other people should feel about themselves, just like McGrath does here. <br /><br />These people are so transparently silly.Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-81188128176010582402018-08-17T13:26:55.380-07:002018-08-17T13:26:55.380-07:00Is it possible the letter writer is a troll?

I blended at the time and managed to avoid getting beat up. Getting out of there was the opposite of curling up in guilt and shame about race, it was like heavy bricks were suddenly lifted off my body.<br /><br />The letter and the sanctimonious advice was deeply disturbing. Really, double down on shame, low self esteem and teenage angst? And it turns out to be hoax letter. Lo these many years, I still think white people culture is weird and exotic.<br /><br />Esther Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-34369438192559616612018-08-17T10:06:29.345-07:002018-08-17T10:06:29.345-07:00That girl could not get any whiter.

But, she explains that she wrote it under her poetic alter ego... which means that it was not entirely true to her experience. She says that she is surprised that the Times took it seriously... but perhaps that's the most important part of the story. <br /><br />Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-13579700250704353732018-08-17T05:53:58.817-07:002018-08-17T05:53:58.817-07:00Steve Sailer called the letter a hoax, and it appe...Steve Sailer called the letter a hoax, and it appears to in fact be a hoax:<br /><br />http://www.unz.com/isteve/my-apologies-to-nyts-cheryl-strayed-and-steve-almond/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048726345602032486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-48378627292472047432018-08-17T05:20:38.753-07:002018-08-17T05:20:38.753-07:00I don't believe it.
