Do you smile when you see the pictures of the beat downs of blacks during the civil rights movement? Did you smile when they dug up Till's body, 40 years later? Do you have a stupid smile on your face?

Now, I can't say I'm familiar with this little trist between you and Amused, but you certainly present yourself as sort of....off kilter.

Would someone please clarify what this little tiff is about?

Classy thinks I'm racist because I agree with Bill Cosby's observation that much of popular black culture is self deprecating and self destructive.

I know you got a stupid smile on your face. But one day someone is going to wipe that stupid smile right off of your stupid face.

I'm stupid, and I smile all the time. Do I have a stupid smile, or is it simply that I am a stupid man whose smile is anything but?

I don't see the problem. Ghetto is never a positive term.

Those that say I am living in a/the or in a place like a: Ghetto know it's crappy.

Coincidentally, I just got finished watching Coach Carter. I swear Bill Cosby did too. ;) Good flick.

They address the "n!gger" term straight up.

You should off yourself before you hurt somebody.

We should consider bringing this back.

Face it. To some people, if you're white and you speak, you're a racist.

"If a white man speaks in a forest, and Classy isn't there to hear him, is he still a racist?"

Dude I could care less what you think. Your a filthy piece of trash.

Blah... blah... blah...

Say, Classy, you have any proof of my "racism" yet?

You are trash. That will be response to everything you say from now on. Trash, trash, trash. Your not even good enough for double-wide status.

Hey, I may be trash, but at least I know the difference between "your" and "you're." :p

Classy, tell me, how do my views differ from Bill Cosby's? Is Bill "trash" too?

You have yet to post a single example of my supposed "racism," Classy.

"Amused crawled out of the sewer Mr Ward, now maybe the gutter is where we need to be."

Oh wow, now you're a bot?

:roll:

"Amused crawled out of the sewer Mr Ward, now maybe the gutter is where we need to be."

Oh wow... cool! I broke his brain!

No, that's just the latest close encounter of the weird kind I've had with Classy.

His irrational hatred of me goes WAY back to a thread long ago about "Why are all serial killers white?" where I pointed out the fact (with valid references) "According to this, 22% of serial killers are black. That would make them MORE likely to be serial killers than whites, since the black population is only 12% of the US."

In his continual stupor, he took that to mean I was claiming that more serial killers are black than white... when, of course, I meant nothing of the sort. Only that that the % of black serial killers, PER CAPITA, when broken down by race, was higher than the % of white serial killers. Thus destroying the myth that there are no black serial killers.

And yet, Classy singled me out in a thread filled with posts by REAL racists claiming or implying that the reason there are "no black serial killers" is because blacks are "too stupid."

You figure THAT one out. :confused:

Anywho, read all about it here:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...hreadid=1339798&enterthread=y&arctab=y

Actually, I think it goes back even further than that.

I believe it started in a thread where I said much the same things I said in the McDonald's thread in which I am echoing Bill Cosby's viewpoint that much of popular black culture is self destructive, and that black communities need to start taking responsibility.

At any rate, this isn't the first time he's gone completely bananas over me.

Bananas? Are you saying that he likes bananas? You know, monkees like bananas. Are you calling him a monkey, because he's black?

Man, this sh!t is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s

Sounds like yet another diabolical conspiracy to keep the Man down, set forf by the white devil.

That would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that this is exactly the way the poor idiot thinks.

White women ain't turning their noses up at white men for black men for nothing. Let clarify this, I believe thats why yall have this black people problem. But its ok, what we don't want you can keep for sloppy seconds.
