Personally, I think ya'll just want to shut the white person up by adding more and more absolutely outrageous demands on what is appropriate and inappropriate for me as a white person to say and do.

Is it bizarre because someone is not agreeing with your positions, or bizarre because you think it's ok to use a different cultures history to your advantage? If you used some critical thinking to your own view point and not use say Malcolm's words to your advantage I might have agreed with your view point, I however can't because that is not what you said.

I would hope that using your own words to state your opinion would be sufficient. Now as far as what you as a white person can say, almost anything, the almost part is the racist stuff you have currently used.
