Sick of the Racist Charges
Editors Note: This is one of several exchanges between myself and black activists in a local news forum. The 2001 Cincinnati riots were my awakening to black separatism and the never ending laments of those who call themselves African-American. It’s when I learned that the hyphen between African and American was tantamount to giving America the finger.
Below, “July” was one of a few with whom I argued about the boycott that black activists used to punish Cincinnati for her supposed racial crimes.

The Tiresome Little July drones on:
You and Solitude and a few more are the ones who are so into yourselves that you try to push those who are telling the truth into…” blah blah
Zee responds:
You have the appalling nerve to suggest that Solitude and I are egocentric??!!? You, from a race of people who, like snarling children, are having a tantrum , stomping your collective feet and threatening to huff and puff until all our houses are in the same shambles yours are in.
You give not a damn for the innocent citizens in this city who depend on the trade you boycott to make a living.
more “Sacrifices must be made,” you opine. What gall to decide that others must sacrifice for your so called cause. You whine about everything from imagined violations of your rights to the flying of confederate flag to too few black actors winning Oscar nominations.
No matter where you turn there is a black face clamoring “GIMME GIMME GIMMIE!” ME ME ME!” And you have the audacity to turn around and suggest we are self absorbed. Your ignorance is simply unparalleled.
July proceeds with her attack:
” I have read and re-read all of your posts…”
Zee responds:
You say you read my posts? I say you lie. I specifically asked, numerous times, for verifiable incidents of infringements and injustice. I posted an article about a draconian law soon to be re-imposed in Over-the-Rhine and asked for feedback. I speculated on the ‘glass house’ and asked for thoughts. I posted an USA Today article on the economic status of blacks with request for refutation. I sincerely inquired into my relationship with racism, I made suggestions regarding showcasing your more illustrious black citizens. None of those good enough for you and your frigging audience?
Are they listening now July? Then hear this:
Where once civility was the rule of thumb with all people., with yours I will give pause. Where once I smiled at a black face, I now turn away. Where once I was curious about a seemingly vivid and complex culture, I now have indifference. Where once you were welcome in my life, now you are not.
Relentlessly, July goes on…
“Evidently, when you received your diploma, you thought that the learning something new process was over. You can learn a lot from books, but life’s experiences are the best teacher. I guess you haven’t had enough of life’s experiences yet to actually see the world on which you live. The question is, do you really want to see the real world or continue to live on “milk”?
rolling eyes, Zee replies…
As usual you are confused. In other posts you have variously called me a heifer, trailer trash, flat ass, ignorant, uneducated and NOW you allude to ivory towers and sheltered lives? Just which phantom white person are you gunning for little missy july? no sweetie. It’s you and yours who can not wean yourselves off the public teat. That is the only ‘milk’ in this scenario.
I began this venture trying to grasp what the perception of racism is and what I have found is this; because I ascribe to a particular set of principles and standards, because I adhere to a particular work ethic, because I disdain mewling dramatics and solipsism, because I demand accountability and responsibility…in other words, because of my values, I am deemed a racist.
So be it.
I am not going to cheapen my standards to accommodate some distorted version of civil rights. I’m not going to subscribe to a crippled social doctrine as define by malcontents just to appease the likes of you and your gang. Your quest for ‘equal treatment’ has served to lower the bar in every field of endeavor, but, I assure you, you will not continue with such chicanery. There are more more and more un-hyphenated Americans who know when to say the madness has gone on far too long.

I owe you and your people nothing.
