I recognize the resentment. The question remains was it reality based. If not, why use it as an example.

Whose reality?

I used it because I damn well thought of it while I was typing the post. Had I known this was a thread of pedantics as opposed to a serious thread on racism (or whatever one wishes to label it) then I would not have bothered.

I was hoping for some common ground and perhaps a discussion that went beyond black and white, to something more broad, or to areas many people may not have even considered.

Clearly my sloppy posting was offensive. Apologies. Sheesh.


Sirs. The previous comment was not directed at your Duke rape case post, apologies for the confusion.
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
   So stuff my nose with garlic
   Coat my eyes with butter
   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

Since when has challenging a pillar of your post made the thread unserious.

If you want a serious discussion of racism, perhaps ypu would be best served by providing a definition of same.
