82. Yes, Gladys Knight is a great singer ((for a black woman))
I'm putting the racist subtext of my remarks in brackets for those who don't know when to draw inferences or not. Only those with the most finely-tuned senses of race-dar are apparently able to discern that derogatory racism is there all the time, so I'll include the subtextual racism explicitly. That way there won't be any confusion for those without such highly-developed sensitivities, who may think it's only there sometimes.

I also think Martin Luther King was a great public speaker ((for a black man)).



I too am learning, TCB. Now that I understand, looking back, I see that everything I've ever said has been racist. I would have never known. Thank you DU.
