jqsderrida said:Discussion of 'black people' nor of traits stereotypically attributed to them is not the reason for the season of this thread. In fact, this is one of the most ignorant discussions of 'race' I have ever heard. I suggest that it stop.
I agree. Gash stepped out of bounds of reason for a bit and made himself a hypocrit in some sense, while associating generalizations with real world issues that he obvious has strong beliefs about.
I think everyone will let this go as long as Gash does.
As long as it's somehting being discussed and learned from though....
I have friends who are ABUNDANTLY wealthy, from legit and widely acceptable means, and they type, talk and dress far below many people's standards. They happen to be caucasion, but could easily have different color skin ... as are some of the least wealthy people I know who are still millionaires. I also have friends of various races that make money illegally ... and likely immorally in many people's minds ... and they talk like some of the biggest brainiacs every known. It's results above all else.
Glancing at this thread, I saw two comments that initially jumped out at me:
1. Gash implying ithiel is on welfare based on his posts and skin color. 2. 10inch implying that ithiel has had it harder than many people because he is black or that blacks automatically have it harder than others.
Gash was intentionally offensive and stems from obvious bias that may lurk as a type of hatred deep down, combined with a bit of admirable realism ... albeit that doesn't warrant the totality ... or smallest amount ... of scathing diatribe he happened to start spewing ... and it has no place whatsoever in this thread ... on OUR forum. Gash, man, you seem cool .... but please overlook some of these things and respect people regardless of their dialect. It's the heart, mind and soul that is the true meaning behind the person. I've seen nothing but good from ithiel on this forum, despite his edgy presentation of his e-persona.
10inch unintentionally insulted those of the millions of us who are not black, nor of any other so called "minority" race, but have struggled immensely. I imagine some lack of experience has somehting to do with it, and it wasn't intentional ... but I'll kindly ask him to reach for a new paradigm of purview from that train of thought.
Anytime somebody wants to drop all of this, especially Gash, I'm sure this will all be over and everyone will get along again. Otherwise .... I'm glad to see that all the posting in this thread isn't about what size cock gay guys like ... however I imagine they vary like women do. Afterall, we are all human and our lives are much more relative than we condition ourselves to believe and work to try to dismiss by distancing ourselves with money, religion, race and many things that are superficial and trivial in the big scope.
