Really? Knowing you you'll want to turn this into a racist porn chat because that's all you think of.

Guess your sex life isn't very adequate, eh?

You make the basic error or moral relativism, assuming that slavery/discrimination is OK under any circumstance. Now or 160 years ago it is not, and your bigoted whining won't make it any different.

See WHERE in the sentence that 'Fictional' is located? BEFORE the word Contribution. That means that the contribution is fictional. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND???
Yes - I understood the first time, but you still do not. How can anyone benefit from something that is fictional? Logic - give it a try sometime.

Your posts are full of stereotypes, and urban legends and blather obviously parroting some liberal college professors opinions. I don't think you lived thru the 1950's and 1960's.
Race means nothing? You have just written the single most asinine statement in this thread. When a country bases its policies on race, then race matters. Duh. You just posted that "...black subculture is to blame for its own problems..." You, sir, are more bigoted and racist than anyone here. You say that I'm parroting a liberal college professor, but you still can't refute any of my arguments because of your weak logic and inconsistent arguments.

Funny how you keep calling everyone else loser with no lives Mrs. 10 dogs/celebrity obsessive.

Even better is you keep coming back to a place that is all gay porn and full of losers just to tell us how gay and loserish we are.

Hmmm.

About blacks owning homes or not, what a stupid statement. You're just ready to leave 'em all down on the plantation, ain't ya? As if they're INCAPABLE of earning a living and doing it better than anyone else!

It's people like you that perpetuate stereotypes and poverty with your sick mentality that blacks "ain't got nuttin' much" and need a handout to get ahead. I know many more blacks than you can imagine that have more pride than YOU do and guess what? They are wildly successful and didn't have to depend on cash handouts to get ahead in life.

Why don't you get with the new century natural1?
Oh, Cody - reading your posts is such a hoot! You make such hilariously stupid responses to people's remarks and then finish it off with a flourish of BS every time. You've got style, but no class.

I know that you are used to arguing with 14 year olds on MacNN and haven't used your brain much lately, but c'mon - twisting my words around to draw your own conclusions is just sad. I said that a group who was the target of institutional racism should be given assistance to redress the dis-advantages that they suffered - this is not saying that all blacks deserve a 'handout'. There are plenty of proud people who will take help when it is needed and when it is deserved. And you have no idea how much pride I have for my own accomplishments, so don't bother including me in your comparison to your ficitonal black friends.

So, you know more blacks than I can imagine, huh? Well, I can imagine a lot, Cody. And I imagine you in a gated community that turns away minorities unless they are driving a landscaping truck.

You are from a minority family? Sorry, being the last family on the block to get Atari doesn't qualify you as a minority...

YOu have just proved that YOU are a racist. Of course it MEANS NOTHING.. YOU think it DOES, so YOU ARE A RACIST. But it doesn't change the fact that a persons race means nothing, and you are either too shallow, or too stupid to understand it. I suggest that you have many more problems as well.

You have stated your subjective opinions and drawn conclusions based on your interpretation of world events. Please don't give me any more of your whining about slavery. do you even understand the circumstances under which they became slaves? What do you know of Africian history, or WHO the slave traders were? At one time or another, ALL races have been slaves. You are singling out Blacks (again your problem of being a racist and trying to overcompensate) to make some point, or generate guilt. Sorry, Won't work. Hindsight is 20-20. Why don't you go try and sell your BS to the Dutch.

In a practical sense, race does not mean nothing. Depending on where you live, it can mean a great deal to your day-to-day life. There are still places in the world where people are shunned or killed for being the wrong race.

Of course, those places are not America, but I don't think it's obviously true to say "race means nothing." Most of the difference race makes is because of the meaning people assign it in their minds, but that's still something.

People get offended too easily these days, and they got no sense of humor whatsoever.

This reminds me of something that happened about 10 years ago in Québec. In 1996, Jean-Louis Roux, who was then the lieutenant-governor of the province of Québec, got in trouble because it was discovered that in 1942, at the age of 19, he wore a swastika on a suit, as a prank. As a result, he had to resign from his position. Come on! The man was now 73 and led a very successful and respectable life!

Same thing with the "Harry the Nazi" episode a few years ago. It was at a fricking costumed party! If that's unacceptable, why is it to allow kids to wear bin ladin mask at halloween? Doesn't that show a lack of respect for the families of the people killed on 9/11 and the soldiers in Irak? While we're at it, they should also ban British-related items, that's an offense to my French-Canadian ancestors, who got killed massively hundreds of years ago at the hand of the British...

I agree, but in this particular case, I think it's understandable. If I were victimized by the KKK, I probably wouldn't see a whole lot of funny in people coming to school dressed that way either. And frankly, I don't believe these costumes were meant to be funny — good money they knew the reaction it would evoke and chose to go looking like KKK supporters just to be dicks.

You think?





Google "Willie Gary attorney" and see what that gets you. Or just visit Willie E Gary

THAT is who I live next to and guess what? He's a role model for you, me, and all the kids in this fine nation.

Suggest you go look up the meaning of the word "bigotry".

You know a Multi-Millionaire black guy who lives next to your giant house and has two Rolls Royces, a Gulfstream AND a 737 jet!!!

Boy, you showed us.

Where's your friends that fish for mullet on the side of the road with cane poles? Oh that's right, you just called the cops on 'em!
