234. Wow. There's a few things I'd say right now but you would accuse me of being racist...

Fri Jan 31, 2014, 07:16 PM

Jan 2014

but I am not in any way ordering you around so you can take your "massa" and do with it whatever you like besides using it towards me. That's enough to make me not want to deal with you ever again, but here goes anyway...

I can see now how you could've taken the post you originally responded to that way to a degree, but in fact, I take it the opposite way, not as a racist statement but in defense of blacks. I was thinking about the OP rather than that other post and it made your post seem way over the top. Now this response to me is way over the top but whatever... I've seen several of your posts in this thread and it seems you bring race into everything.

But I don't see where anyone said that all blacks think alike or that one black run site represents the entire viewpoint of blacks.

As to your assessment of that site, well, I'd have to look at it more, but I saw in another post of yours that you think anyone who criticizes Obama is a racist so I take your opinion of it with a big grain of salt.
