Reply #37: I Assume People Will Read And Think [View All]

[fredrickdouglas]

I don't believe I am assuming too much. If you can't/won't do those things that is your right. But I'm slow to assume everyone can't do those things. You should maybe take your time in doing so as well. I think it has much more to do with Fletcher's message than with me. It is (as usual) a bitter pill for almost all white message boards to swallow. I've been on the net for a while as have many of you. And if you're honest, you won't pretend that this kind of thing is an isolated incident or something. These kinds of topics not always, but usually get this type of treatment. And, as usual, the treatment is either dismissed as being the fault of the OP or something like that.

I could be more humble and bow down in my presentation of issues or in the asking of questions but why should I have to do that? There are far squirrelier DUers than I (as you must know) and they aren't required to give BJs when presenting controversial topics or asking unpopular questions. Should I have to because I'm black or because my topic has a racial/gender character to it?

Let's just deal with the material and not wander so far off.
