White Privilege

[Chris]

I've said what I have to say ... how it's interpreted on this forum won't be a life altering event for me.

What's the point of saying something unless someone hears it? Proverbial tree falling in a forest.

The question is, using such tactics as you do, do your messages get through? The only way to tell is by the responses you get. --That goes for anyone, needless to say.

Cigar doesnt get it chris, he gives us a speech that hes around more white people than most of us and that he has a white business partner and most of his friends are white <how ironic is that> and he has whites in his family. Yet day in and day out he race baits whites and we all know the insinuations hes makes and he can deny it all he wants but it doesnt matter. He intentionally race baits for effect non stop. What puzzles me is why the same people bite every single day.

Don't worry Chris, everywhere I need to be heard is covered, and those places are not in a forest.

Who feels compelled to tell strangers on a message board about their "accomplishments"? Oh, that's right. Insecure $#@!es. Hey, don't forget to take the vette out for a spin. Oh, and make sure you tell us!

I get that you're baiting Cigar with some of the racial stuff you say, but damn man, you could ease up on it, it's not right to Safety and really, any other black person that may frequent this board as a guest, just a spectator.

I'm saying this to you and not the Bobs, Macs, and Cigars of this board because I respect your intellect and you as a poster even if we disagree on many issues. I see you respond to Cigar a lot of the time with stuff that can be interpreted as generally disrespectful to black people.

You know what's the difference between me and the other parrots around here ... I'm not calling their name everyday on this forum <how ironic is that>

Not only are they biting biting, they're swallowing ... Maybe you should talk to them.

[Safety]

@del I know you're old and it's late but that was the whole point! Of course the Japanese are privileged in Japan and the Japanese would laugh you out the country if you said it was wrong.

@Safety minus 10 points for thanking that post.

LoL, 10 points? Damn.

Interesting point you brought up...who said it was wrong to have privilege?

[Chris]

Don't worry Chris, everywhere I need to be heard is covered, and those places are not in a forest.

What was that?

[Safety]

Au contraire! As wrong as I think Safety is in this case he's reasonable and avoids the emotional responses that generally ruin every thread about race we have going. If I had to pick a single progressive on this site to have such a discussion with it would be him.

...progressive? The only progressive thing about me is my car insurance.

Theres white race baiters but heres the deal cigar, you were doing it LONG before any of these people were here, except for Mr D.

You have been race baiting and making insinuations and posting race baiting threads since the day I got here and you havent stopped since. So when you tell me about these people now my response to you is you were doing it long before they got here.

As far as me talking to anyone, im not bashful but you already know that. I dont dislike you cigar, I have no animosity towards you at all. When I get enough of your race baiting I slap you around a little.

No $#@! ... the Chicken came before the Egg ... in this case.

That explains my disrespect for only a couple people on this forum. I'm not Safety, it's Safety choice on how to respond to disrespectful people. I'm different, I choose to answer disrespect with disrespect. I was taught that respect is earned and disrespectful people don't get or deserve any of my respect, and there's not a passive bone in my body. There was a time for that, but not today and not with me.

If you don't like me, it's OK, I'll survive.
