$1,000 awaits you if you can show one racist comment on my part!

But once again it has not been shown that any comment that I have made was racially inspired. You are all trying to justify my villfication and it doesn't wash. People hate to admit that they have made a mistake and will go thru any contortion to try and avoid it...
 

It might on some occasions but not on this one...
 

Your comments on the Zimmerman thread were quite abhorrent IMO Ralphy.. AND in the opinion of others... You really should take a better look at them and pretend you didn't write them. Pretend someone else did.. What would you think?
 
Please present these comments for evaluation or just admit that you were wrong...
 
Thanks for posting this, April. It is sometimes difficult to be objective about myself but this has prompted some serious introspection.

I took the test.. I fell into the 1-3 category.. BUT.. I tend to disagree with the explanation. I have used the term "White Privilege".. and I am well aware of what it is and fully admit to having it.
 
Oh, yes I am! Wait until you see my photo coming to a forum near you soon!
 
Speaking as an outsider, I'm finding this game of "Spot the racist" a bit tiresome.
What is it supposed to achieve?

it's a bit hackneyed but may I remind everyone when we point a finger at someone, three are pointing back at ourselves

Yes, it has become tedious and I will take responsibility for my portion of it...
 
Agree, as long as people are not personally attacked.

All arguments are fair game, and everyone should try to accept someone else demolishing something that they may have said with a counter argument, but when it gets personal it can become hurtful. We're not here to hurt each other. That is my opinion and my argument.
 
I believe that only ONE post actually used a label and the person that used it has already apologized. All the other posts were regarding comments made... Ralphy seems to not like his comments objected to, or have it pointed out how it is felt his comments are wrong. There is a complete difference in debating someone's comments and calling someone a racist.. Ralphy needs to get over it and to stop bringing it up from thread to thread.
 
I expected nothing less than the response given. As far as pointing a finger, I haven't been the one starting these types of threads and if one continues to do so, expect the critique to fall on them. I'm fine with the finger coming my way, I'm a big girl, yes in more ways than one, so bring it on. I'm sure a nerve has been touched for more than one person with this thread and with my responses to it, some have chosen to look within some to go the way of denial and counter attack and that's fine, we're all free to make up our own minds as to what we choose to believe the facts are as we so see them.
 
My comment about finger pointing was meant to be a general one. I named no names and used the first person plural to avoid being accusatory.

The details of this discussion, not just here but in some other threads are going over my head.
However I am sensing hurt and raw feelings. That is not helpful if we want to go on discussing things together.

If something good can come out of all of this then I would say that the feelings are less important but for the life of me I can't see how very much good will be achieved. I seem to be flogging a dead horse so I'll withdraw. It is after midnight here and I may be losing perspective because I am too tired right now.

Ni night, all.
 
If a person gets hurt or raw feelings from having their opinions and statements debated or disagreed with then perhaps they should not be putting them in a discussion section. OR perhaps they should evaluate their statements to see how they read to others. No one is above being called on something that they have said. There's an old saying on debate threads.. "you say it, You own it" I don't think that there is a need to monitor it and try to control what is being said.. except, that is, by the Moderators whose job it is to prevent personal attacks and the like. I don't believe there was any personal attack in this thread.. and the one post that may have been was apologized for.

Nope. :D Didn't expect I'd search thread for thread to post every vile thing, but, I could post a few, but, not unless I get really bored and ridiculously childish, which I can confess to feeling on occasion when urked just a tad too much. I'm not supper human as some might think. bwahahaha.
