First of all, to paste quotes (in Netscape at least) just highlight and press Ctrl C to copy. Then place the cursor where you want to paste and press Ctrl V.
Now, why in the hell must you rely on white people to tell you if a person is a racist. Stand on your own two feet! Make your own judgment! I do. And I would no matter what damned colour I was. It is an utter nonsense to have to ask a third party whether a person is a racist. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then likelyhood is that it is a duck.
Next, you have never explained why a person must be white to be a racist. This is plainly wrong. All you have to do to be a racist is to judge a person because of his/her race. That's it. Simple. You could be a racist. In fact I think you probably are. You appear to have judged me on the basis that you believe that I am white. As I mentioned in my previous post, it is you who make all sorts of judgments about people based on race in the classic racist manner.
I am no more a "suspect" than you. Probably less so.
As to your comments on my behaviour, you will need to do more than simply assert that I have made false statements. You were the one who made the statement about white people being smarter. Prove it.
Your talk of adults and children is beside the point. We all know adults are smarter than children.
Then you go on to say white people are smarter because "If they were not then White Supremacy would not exist".
Well here's a news flash: It doesn't exist in the form that you suggest (or anything even approaching it). [Or at least so far as I can tell from the very vague statements that you make on the subject]. It's a technique in argument called "begging the question". It means that you have assumed the correctness of your conclusion in the premises of the argument.
You wrote:
<Believing what he says would pull the foundation out from under my whole argument which is that White Supremacy does exist.>
You're damned right.
Oh, and one other thing, while we are on the subject. Your definition of "smart" is not correct. My dictionary defines "smart" as follows: clever, ingenious,showing quick wit or ingenuity, keen in bargaining, quick to take advantage etc. Get yourself a dictionary.
You once accused me of being all blue (sic) smoke and mirrors. In fact that is exactly what you are. All of your arguments rely on twisting words to your own silly meanings. Smart does not mean :"THE ABILITY TO DO MORE THINGS". "Race" is not a club that you join or not as you choose. Being a racist has nothing to do with what your own race is.
As to the so called "counter racist code" predicting that I would be offended, I wonder if that is actually because the "code" is actually an offensive racist piece of crap. It's like me saying, "If I go up to that man and tell him that he is a fat idiot he will be offended. But don't worry, it's normal". What a fantastic prediction that is.
Your embarrasment, that's a matter for you. However, given the weakness of your argument, it is understandable.
I am here to discuss this issue because:
a) I think racism is an important issue which affects the lives of many;
b) I see in you a person who has fallen under the influence of some pretty stupid ideas which have resulted in you having an incorrect view of how the world works. That's no way to go through life.
Finally, you have not explained your prison analogy to me. How about it?
P.S. I notice that you are now "Black" as opposed to "non-white". Is there any significance in that?
