Stupid White Men


Please, please, please don't tell me you haven't read Michael Moore's book, Stupid White Men. Just his blog about his book tour alone should get you going. (Once again, thanks to Doc for pointing it out.)

It's truly one of the most amazing books. Try this on for size.

"I don't know what it is, but every time I see a white guy walking towards me, I tense up. My heart starts racing and I immediately start looking for an escape route and a means to defend myself. I kick myself for even being in this part of town after dark. Didn't I notice the suspicious gangs of white people lurking on every corner, drinking Starbuck's and wearing their gang colors of Gap Turquoise or J.Crew Mauve? What an idiot! Now the white person is coming closer, closer, closer — and then — whew! He walks by without harming me and I breathe a sigh of relief.

White people scare the crap out of me."
