It's pretty accurate, but this isn't post-modern. This shit started with Uncle Tom's Cabin all the way up to Joe Louis. It's not always just white people, either. For an example of what happens to a black person who doesn't play the good, hard-working, self-respecting negro who marries a good, strong, hard-working negro woman/man and gives back to the good, hard-working and self-respecting strong negro community, see; the life and times of Jack Johnson. Possibly the greatest athlete of the twentieth century, incredibly strong, skilled, intelligent, good-looking and charismatic, and for refusing to play racial games and respect color lines or be anyone's champion (including marrying not one but three seperate white women over the years) he was crucified by the white and black media.
The lesson to take home is that you're lucky if you find in your life one good honest person who isn't a complete dick, forget about a white or black or any color Jesus. When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
