Care to elaborate?
Sure. I could describe in detail the contours of the turd I crapped out last night and it would elevate the level of discussion in this OT thread.
And yet, for the second post in a row, and when asked, you've done nothing to elevate the discussion.
That's the point, there's no elevating a discussion where your purportedly intellectual comment consists of gems like:

Of course, I'm sure I'll be called a racist for this and someone will dig up an article of 6 white trash dudes doing the same thing to "prove" my racism.
"Odds are" this situation is a "black" crime? I didn't realize blacks had the monopoly on beating up fathers after inappropriately touching their daughters. Granted your post was a step up from the neanderthal offerings on page 1, but that only constitutes a step from moron to idiot. And I don't know whether you reading this story and immediately assuming the attackers were black makes you a racist as much as it makes you a contributor to racism, but the fact that you recognize that someone could probably pull an article showing that the same thing was done by 6 whites should tell you something about your conclusion.
Excellent creative clipping and quoting; I especially like how you totally omit any reference I make to assumptions I make about other criminals being white. I'll respond piece by piece.

I said they probably wouldn't be white and I stand by that. I didn't say a group of white guys wouldn't kick someone's ass - what I said was that I assumed, based on the total situation, that they'd probably be black. Turns out I wasn't wrong. I
could have been, but wasn't.
At no point did I say that black people have a monopoly on anything. In fact, I even pointed to alternatives in the situation where I'd have immediately thought it was white guys.

Seriously? Namecalling doesn't help your case... presenting a rational counter to what I say might. Namecalling will really only give your statements less weight, if not ignored completely.
See if you can get your next post out with an argument without calling anyone names. It'd be refreshing, and everyone here might take you a little more seriously.

Well, as I mentioned in the first post, I was pretty sure someone would come along and take what I said as racism; lo and behold, here you are.
As someone else mentioned, I'm stereotyping. Yep, slap the cuffs on me for seeing a pattern of behavior and expecting it to continue. I guess you glazed over the posts talking about that in an effort to hurriedly get "neanderthal (sic)", "moron", "idiot", and "asshole" into your posts.
There's a gigantic difference between stereotyping and racism that's already been covered in this thread, and I've already conceded that my experience with gang thugs points almost totally to young black men. I know there are thugs out there that are white, latino, black, asian; name your color, I'm sure they've got a gang.
As for
contributing to racism; how so? Certainly there are people out there who will take my comments out of context and make it fit whatever frame of mind they want to, and perhaps that person will be white, and a racist, and think I'm on his side.
Heck, you've already done a wonderful job of reading only the parts of my comments that you want to see - why shouldn't everyone else do the same?
