But race is, itself, a faulty concept. I'm black because I'm half black?!
WTF?!? How does that make ANY sense?! And my daughter, 1/4 black...she's considered black too. No no, eye color (blue) and blonde hair be damned, some people think of her as black because of her history.
I have no need to fight these battles in a grand scale - they're just too fucking retarded to be bothered with.

Maybe you're right, but maybe you're judging one issue and extrapolating not only across the entire spectrum but across an entire lifetime. I've done my little battles and fought my own demons - that's hardly lazy or self-centered. Mastery of self is my focus and all I can ask of others.
