Transparency - Not!

What an asshole you are for again tryin to defend calling me a racist instead of simply admitting you are totally wrong and, god forbid, apologizing.
You still don't get it. I take it very personal to be called that.
Off to ignore land you go - You may now kindly go fuck yourself.

Damn, dude.

Take a breath and read what I posted:

You obviously dont understand the difference between "approaching racial stereotyping," which by the way people do every day and for the most part is not with with racist intent, as opposed to calling you or anyone a racist, which I thought I made clear in my post that there was a distinction between the two, but that you evidently read it with a defensive closed mind.

When you suggest your daughter might feel threatened by black men in street clothes, looking mean and holding a club but with no evidence of intent to harm or threaten her, IMO, that is approaching racial stereotyping. Much like a woman walking down the street pulling her handbag closer to her body as a tough looking black man approaches her as opposed to a white guy in the same street clothes. It is not racist, it is a reaction based on racial stereotype.

You get defensive, overly sensitive and then overreact and get even more defensive and the nasty side comes out.

And that my friend, is your problem, not mine.

ps. I really hope you take a second look with a more open mind, but its your choice. If you want to apologize for overreacting, that is your choice as well. It doesnt really matter to me either way.

I read your last post thinking perhaps you had finally come to your senses and apologized.
I thought I would have missed it with you on ignore.
I should have known better.

Lets get this right - I'll try one last time.
My daughter will most likely feel, as I think most women would, threatened by men in street clothes,
looking mean, waving a club and shouting racial slurs (ie. looking threatening or like they may harm her.)
Much like a woman walking down the street pulling her handbag closer to her body as a tough looking man/men approach her.
It is not racist, it is wise of them, and it is reality.

The odds of me apologizing for you calling me a racist are ZERO.
