Logical conclusion...


No leave it there. I post a blog by a respected journalist and it means I'm racist. Yeah that's logical.

From Websters

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
Function: noun
Date: 1933
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination


I'm fairly certain the only one racist is Mike.

Now two of you have me, the Obama supporting northeastern elite liberal, as a racist.
Rather than come back with profanities or arguments, I'll take a closer look at my self and posts(seriously)

Who knows, maybe the anonymity of online posting is allowing this liberal northeasterner to play out my racial rants


I think it's important to be a responsible forum citizen here

Now Morty can attack me for backpedaling

I'm certainly not here to argue, as most people here will testify to that fact. I just don't think there needs to be any kind of double standard involved when it comes to racism.

Morty, am I racist? You've known me online for ten years now it seems. Here, another place too secret to mention... and the ole DRF board

I'll stay with it for a second here because I am genuinely curious. What is the double standard here?

Is it because of my self professed "racism" towards Southern whites? Remember, I'm a white guy of Irish descent, so I don't know if this qualifies as racism

Hey, people take me the wrong way in the real world too. My wife often tries to curb my humor because most misunderstand the dark humor (Even insulted my black neighbor and friend with a racial comment last week, until I explained myself to her)

So...because you're white you can't be racists towards other whites? My friend, racism is racism...there are no different "levels' of it.

I have to disagree, but should have used better words to describe my attitudes toward southern whites. It's not racism, since I'm a white person. It's, perhaps, culturalism?

I guess I am very guilty of that. Obama, too, when he remarked about people clinging to "God and guns". That's the same thing, IMO.

I'll move on. I've been PM'ed by Coach today, GPK in the past. They were both civil, but we disagree.
