    Damn southern racist rednecks!!!!!!!!

    Oh..wait.

    My experience with some coworkers from NJ at a job..holy crap, were they racists.

    Second thought is, Jackie Robinson was a dual edged sword, he did help usher in mainstream Black Athletes into what was the most popular sport in the US at the time. But the Negro Leagues were effectively crushed, the 4th largest black owned enterprise in the US at the time.

    Kids today know nothing about respect or history, they just know how to get the wrong attention and that's the problem with today's society.

  15. Shot my load? I did no such thing. I interjected a counter culture incident to provide proper context and a balanced understanding.

    Pretty telling admission on your part that instead of admonishing the acts equally you instead chose to respond with a personal attack (albeit a very tame one) on me.

    Both acts are rather ugly displays of our culture and humane behavior. When the majority of articles given attention are ones that are of whites behaving poorly it gives the impression that it is a trait that is more chacteristic of their race and not the others. That may not of been your intent to sway people into thinking that but it did contribute to advancing a false narrative.

    There is no hidden agenda on my part. I do not justify what either did. My intent is to show that both races are equally guilty of bad behavior.

    There was no evidence of it needing context or balancing. Hence the shot your load too soon comment.

    Not as telling as entering a thread to counter something non existent. Very Don Quixotian of you............... And fyi that wasn't even close to a tame attack. I'm assuming your butt hurt is coming from the sting of your failure.

    There was never any intent on my part, but yours was obvious from the get go. Advancing false narrative? That someone messed up a statue of a person many consider a hero? Again you saw the thread, which was perfectly civil, drew some conclusion from said thread with absolutely no evidence to back up your conclusion, and proceeded to go off on some inane spiel. Basically , you just dreamed up an imaginary monster, pretended to slay it and are now upset that I told you the monster never existed in the first place. Stop it.

    You just stated the opposite above.

  18. Your entitled to your opinion. I saw a need to provide balance so I did.


    Seems as if incidents of black on white racial attacks intimidate you, to the point that, you feel the need to lash out personally at those who point out its existence. I wonder why that is? Curious what it is you think I failed at? I accomplished what I set out to do. I showed a counter example of bigotry against white America.


    I never said there was intent on your part. I do not know if there was or was not. I do not care if there was or wasn't. The fact is that the story you posted received national attention and the one I posted did not. This is more evidence that there is a double standard in who the villains are and who are the victims of racial prejudices. I have yet to be uncivil in anything I have said, you just don't happen to like me pointing out the very real fact that there are Black bigots who brutalize white Americas cultural heroes too. Nothing inane or dreamt up on my part, it was a very real attack on a Confederacy monument. Maybe it does not you because you think it deserves to be attacked in such a vile and vulgar manner?


    I did no such, I have been open, honest, and up front about my position from the beginning.

    Right you projected something non existent. Rather it's your opinion or not is irrelevant.

    You basically hijacked a thread and attempted to correct something that wasn't there. That is a large failure. The fact you are here defending it makes it even larger. And I'm not lashing out at anyone. I said you shot your load too early. You took that as an attack.I'm guessing it upset you hence why you keep exaggerating everything I've told you. So, either a) you get butt hurt easily or b) what's that saying? You get upset at things you know to be true.
    And you tell me why I lash out lol Eesh you know nothing but rhetoric.


    well while we're wildly projecting, maybe you only posted your "balancing" article because you think the Jackie Robinson monument should be attacked in such a vile and vulgar manner. Seriously, stop it. You trying to save face by making me seem nefarious is more of a reach then your preemptive lecture.



    The whole illusion you are displaying here is pretty easy to see through. But, by all means, keep flailing about. Not the first time, won't be the last. I give you one thing, you sure do go down with the ship.

    Weird we always see the same people getting so demonstrably defensive in threads about racism.

    Whether it's recognized or not, this is the biggest social problem we face as a nation, and "neither race is immune" just makes the problem twice as bad.
