Hey, tweak, guess what? Just about every piece of paperwork I do in law enforcement work asks for race, ethnicity, eye color, hair color and <gasp!> even SKIN COLOR! Does that make every police report I do "racist" because I might mark the complexion block with one of the following choices? Am I being racist in my description? Or is it just that, hey, unlike dogs, we see in color and sometimes, we have to use obvious physical traits as descriptors? If she had a big nose and he called her a "big ass nosed lady", would you be saying anything? Think not....

It's one thing to include skin color in a description, it's another thing entirely to single that specific trait out.
I include skin color all the time when I'm point people out
"yeah, he's the black dude over there"
I do not say
"My friend Rick is coming over, he is black"

see the difference?

Cashman, I'm not trying to call your racist or anything
keep us posted on your mom

that totally SUCKS.

I remember the night i was driving home from the bar (1:30 AM) and my dad called me.. they needed a ride cause they (my dad, mom, and their 2 friends) had been broadsided by some retarded old asian lady (they are awful drivers.. AWFUL!) and took off the front end of my dads Maxima. SHE RAN A RED LIGHT AND TOLD THEM SHE WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION... well glad it's good you can admit you are a TOTAL FCKING RETARD and you almost killed people cause YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION.. i almost ripped her face off when i heard that.. what a total idiot.. no one was hurt, but after i found out everyone was fine, i started to feel bad for the car, being as it had $11,000 in damages because of this mental woman.. BLAH.

gawd, that really bugs me... i hope everything's ok for you.. can't stop getting mad when i think of that... stupid retarded woman.... shouldnt be driving if you're just going to not pay attention and think it doesn't matter.. *smack!* :disgust:

IMO< he didn't say "this lady hit her, she was black", he said "this black lady hit her", so it's more like the first one, the one that you use...

He said it fine. WHo cares if she was black, for all we know he could have said some blond b1tch hit her and someone would come in and whine "what does being blonde have anything to do with it?" or whatever else. It makes no difference.

and being black has what exactly to do with it?

perhaps he wanted to desribe her

and black is the only thing that he describes?

Exactly. As soon as I saw "black" in his post, I started searching for a rebuttal. I knew someone would bring it up. He also said she was a woman. No one said, "What does her being a woman have to do with anything?" No one accuses him of being sexist, only racist. The politically correct 90's have made us too sensitive.

Cashman, Here's to hoping that everything is all right. Sorry to hear about your mother's accident.

Yo - for the others commenting in this thread, leave the racial crap out of it. Clearly, the posting making a reference to a "black woman" meant nothing bad by it.

I was kinda offended by that mental asian stuff - maybe in that one case, but you can't generalize and say asians in general are mental.

that's just what I got outta it.

Update. She is home now.

and there's always some asshat that has to say something about racism even tho you meant none when you posted.

Tweakmm, its not like you don't ever use skin color to describe something. jeez.

It's okay dude. I guess I was in a different thinking pattern and didn't realize it. He was just pointing it out.
