You're a raging bigot, and you really should be ashamed of yourself. | Yeah well that's pretty obvious. You should just calm down though because nothing makes him a bigot nor should he be ashamed of himself. While it may seem very conveinent to interchange "religious" and "Christian" with "black" and "negro", that is completely inappropriate here. I think you should apologize for even saying something like that.
I could write about 5 pages on how much I hate the New York Yankees...if you substituted "New York" and "Yankees" with "black" or "negro", I too would be an extreme racist bigot. That does not mean I am, nor does it mean that anything I said was wrong. All it means is that the meaning of my words could be changed very easily simply by substituting a couple words. But since when does someone's writing reveal actual meaning only when words are substituted after the fact?? But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high
