And the pot! Don't forget the pot! Effing dope fiends! And orange! Who the hell has orange as a national color?!?!?!? My next door neighbor is Dutch, and she's okay, but that's just the exception that proves the rule, dammit! Who the hell hasn't thought "goddam Dutch" every time they pass tulips? Quit pretending, I know you have! :x Don't even get me started on Rembrandt, or Golden Earring. What the hell is Radar Love even about, man?!?!?
 
things I've learned on this thread:

some folks experiences or social background have pigeonholed them into a viewpoint of others they can't really justify, but cling to regardless

that others, in defense of what they believe is morally right, attach the same prejudice to people and justify their double standards as entitlement

that retaliation, including acts of violence, for even perceived insults no matter the context or intent, is somehow morally acceptable to those who prop themselves up to be victims

who says the internet isn't educational?
 
we already get that alot. :(

no matter what color they are.

nice person in the park : what a beautiful dog! can I pet her?
me: sure!
person (pet pet pet snuggle kiss hug)
person: she's lovely- is she a malamute?
me: no she's an akita
person : ACK! HELP! POLICE! killer akita! Vicious brutes, the lot of them, all baby killers! she'll tear my face off any second!
dog: (wag wag cock head sideways to look at the crazy person)

we live prejudice every day. and it affects our ability to get a house, hold insurance and even walk down the street without being thought of as dangerous people.

it's not always about race or ethnicity. ignorance is ignorance no matter how it's displayed

I find it comical that you are comparing your plight of finding a suitable home and the prejudice that you sometimes receive because you have dogs to the plight and prejudice that blacks have had to face throughout history..puhleeese...:rolleyes

+1

Please accompany Elmer on his next protest :thumbup
 
the actual point was about general IGNORANCE. thanks for making it for me. :thumbup

I have to go now, and get back to watching everything I do and say carefully so it's not misconstrued as a racist attack worthy of getting my head kicked in

Remember the past, but stop living in it.
 
I, for one, miss the good old days, when you could get a coke for a nickel and McDonalds had sold 35 million burgers.
 
I too have felt the sting of bigotry and racism.

Skinny dippin at the hot springs I heard laughing and rude remarks about the blinding light reflecting off my lilly white pimply ass.

Walk a mile in my shoes.

can I ask a question here LG?

do you really think overflowing your sig line section with racist quotes and your views on them is a good way to improve race relations in the general membership here?

Seriously? It's a great public service. And why is it Lester's job to "improve race relations." That's everyone's job. If you are uncomfortable with what your friends say, find new friends.

1. Everyone thinks they're 100% right on this topic.

2. Nobody on here is 100% right on this topic.

3. There is a grain of truth in just about everything everyone on here has said, even at both extremes.

4. Can't we all just get along?

5. No.
 
since when are any of them my friends? at least one was already on my ignore list.
as I've said before and shouldn't need to say again, bc the people who matter to me already know, I don't talk or act in such a disrespectful way to my own racial/ethnic groups or anyone else. those who do are only continuing the same ignorant, idiotic behavior from the world around them that they claim to object to.

throwing gasoline on a fire doesn't help. but hey, you wanna defend his right to 1) break TOS by using quotes without permission from the members quoted 2) basically call them out by doing so, yet another TOS violation and 3) just keep adding fuel to the fire, then you go right ahead.

the elephant is in the room.
