To those of you who lack a legitimate argument when it comes to a discussion list topic and just start calling me a racist you obviously don't know me and have no clue what a racist is. I will give you the definition that Websters dictionary has for it. 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 have done none of this nor have I ever lived my life in that way.
I believe that the community needs to remove the chips from their shoulders and quit taking every remark so personally. In that I mean when someone says,"You people" at least in my case I am refering to everyone other then myself. There is no racial overtones with it, it is just speaking in generalities. When I refer to the African American Community I do so by typing the long drawn out name like I just did or refering to it as AAC. The problem with race is the fact that the AAC is quick to jump on anyone who questions the motives or tries to change anything within that community. Not by all mind you, just those who lack the insight to see something is wrong and that they are part of the problem rather then part of the solution. To call me a racist is to spit in your own faces as I am one of those people trying to make a difference in the community from the ground up. My children play with and live among those in the AAC and we are involved in aspects of the community that help those people who are less fortunate, no matter what their color. I have been there before, as I was being subsidized by the government and went without electricity and water all while trying to keep my family together. So don't you dare come on here and call me a racist when in reality it is you who are racist. I do not tolerate racism by anyone no matter what the color of their skin. I am not the one who makes outrageous claims on these boards in half written English followed by a cuss word in every other sentence. The people who claim I am a racist are the ones who do that. It is not my fault that you see fit to type in broken Enlish and appear to be less then intelligent, that is your fault and has nothing to do with race it is just stupidity. Maybe if you spend less time calling people a racist and more time on learning to type or act as if you are a respectable human being then you wouldn't have to yell racist when you have no argument for just being stupid. Anytime something does not go the way of the AAC the majority of that community starts with the racist crap. If the AAC could move past the past and get on with the future we as a community and a country could move on to a different discussion, one that tries to effect change in a positive way through education and jobs rather then subsidizing people who show no will or desire to change their situation, no matter what their color. If we don't make changes soon then we will all be paying dearly with a new group of hoodlums being raised in single parent houses and being allowed to roam the streets and do whatever, whenever. I laugh everytime someone calls me a racist, because they obviously have never met me before or maybe they have and just don't realize they have. Hum??????? While I may not be sensitive in typing my opinions, I am straight forward in dealing with the topic if that hurts peoples feelings or pisses them off, so be it. Often times the truth is a hard pill to swallow and when I make a point in an argument I generally have a good foot to stand on in my argument, otherwise I wouldn't have put it out there for discussion. So if you want to keep hating me just remember I might be your neighbor or even your buddy at work, maybe I am your preacher and you just don't know it LOL, I could be anybody and I am everybody. Keep on hating because I am going to keep on calling you out if you continue to post ignorance. |
