Though I suspect that he would deny he is, in fact, racist, but is instead (as are all whites) actually the victim of that core "ferociously hostile" 5% of blacks (and the 50% who will go along with them) who are out to "inconvenience or harm" whites.
Yes, John — clearly the problem with racial relations in our society is that blacks are so hostile toward whites. If they'd just settle down and be "intelligent and well-socialized blacks" (assuming aren't among those many blacks too below-average-intelligent to be so), life on the plantation would get back to normal again, right?
Disgusting.
For the record, as a "white parent," we have not given our daughter this talk. Nor, to the best of my knowledge, has any white parents I know. I am sure there are some who have (though probably not as elegantly framed and outlines as Mr Derbyshire presents), but I'm not interested in knowing them. #ddtb

Conservative writer shares 'The Talk' white parents give their children ~ The Savvy Sista
'The Talk' is something that most African Americans are familiared with. It is the discussion that parents have with their sons and daughters to prepare them to deal with the racial realities …
They need a better copy editor there. But yeah, I got dumber just by reading that, in the sense that I got so angry I had a minor stroke. But at least somebody is being honest. Maybe there can be more directed efforts to break down such thinking.
Disregarding the abysmal writing, I will simply say that I have never had such a talk with any of my children or any of my grandchildren. I would not be likely to have such a talk with any of my great grandchildren, either; particularly not those of mixed race. Derbyshire not a racist? Some old adage about ducks comes to mind.
