hyperionred-

to a certain extent it is acceptable to have prejudice against those in power when one is disenfranchised. in fact, after consistently getting the shaft at the hand (or by the omission of the efforts of) those in power who abuse (or fail to recognize) their position of power, it would be kind of stupid not to be upset and focus one's frustrations on the powerful.

there is a huge difference between bigotry and self defense. white christian people aren't quite in the position where they can argue self defense, even if something does hurt their feelings.

BUT all of this is irrelevant because the statement made in the article was not really saying the thing that the oversensitive first poster interpretted anyway.
