So it seems to me like you get your draws in a bunch whenever I
defend what is being said about blacks, and yet you are in denial
about racism being mentioned in the contents of these posts.

If you can't stand the heat don't come into the kitchen, and
that's how I feel about it. You are the one who posted that Detroit
was the worse racist city, and I jumped to the defensive side.

You are crying about racism in Detroit, but yet your kind (since you
don't like me using the word white) is flooding downtown Detroit.
So if you can't take it don't dish it out, due to the fact I have my
rights to defend negative bs, and if you can't seem to understand
that.....Oh well. I will always be me regardless to what you or
anyone else seem to think about my posts. I am NOT ashamed of who I
am or what my skin color is.
I find it very hard to believe you are a paralegal since your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired.

I wasn't crying about racism in Detroit. I said that was where I had seen it the worst. And that was like 25 years ago. And it's the truth.

Well, I can tell where this thread is heading. Sayonara! I will continue to follow the thread, as it is a viable topic; but I won't answer because I am not going to debase myself or other members of this forum in the manner that recently happened in a similair thread.

I concur, I know a paralegal and she is very well educated (a young black woman) and neither her nor her co-workers talk like this guy... His diction is awful, and he's very accusatory...

PP,
Has anyone at DtT been less than cordial to you? If they have you should report it, otherwise, please stop acting as if we are mired in scandal and racism...

See Tadpole, Understand whenever I am on the clock that's when
I am THE PROFESSIONAL, but on my own time I can express my opinions
in any form that I wish to do so. NO YOU STOP shifting that weigh off
of yourself, due to the fact that you are the one who created this
thread's topic, and you your surprise you have never came across a
person as open as I am with what I say.

Hahahaha Report it? Why should I report anything, and you are
the Superstar Guy? I recall when I first hit this thread (Affirmative Action)
How many of you was whining about being treated as the minority, and
what upset because you felt that YOU was being discriminated againsted.
That's how I got involved with this racism bs, and when most of you
started blaming Blacks that was when I jumped in.

So in closing, My professional attitude do not excuse the fact that I
am entitled to express myself freely when it comes to race matters.
I am going to make a final statement regarding this thread's title,
No I don't think that race should matter, but it does to some of you
who can't stand the heat, and Tadpole if this topic is becoming a
racial topic....change it.

you are being very disingenuous - nobody felt they are being discriminated against - you are misrepresenting the posts on this threat. This started as a perfectly valid discussion about whether race would affect (either positively or negatively) the race of Obama. You - YOU - have turned it into a personal racial war with a few posters. Nobody has said ANYTHING derogatory about black Americans - yet you keep goading people by writing that they have. It's dishonest - and it adds nothing to the topic at hand - in fact, it detracts from and stops discussion of a very important issue in the upcoming elections.

OH Come off that crap. Its not directly being said about Obama, but
people can read between the lines, and I hope you are not thinking
that I can't comprehense what's being said.

You are so narrow minded have you ever thought that perhaps
these posts is misrepresenting themselves? Listen Damn it get
real, cause the way you are talking everything you people post
is okay, and if I don't agree with what's being said I am wrong.

You are being dis honest, and you better be thankful that I have
not called you a lier. What is the important issue of the up-coming
election? You want a republician to take office again? Oh I forgot
you are a Republician, and what's happening is Obama is being used.

You know like I know NO Black man will ever be President (Not in
this life). You all is dis-crediting Hillary, but she is the one who will
win. So don't give me that bull that race does not matter because
it do.

You are a damn joke

I guess not because almost everyone is your skin-color (If not all).
So tell me how can you all discriminate against each other? See I
told you that you think everybody is a damn fool.

In closing honestly....I try to stay away from racism discussions,
but its posts like tristandrobin that keeps shit going, and I will
always speak up if I feel discriminated against just like you do.
The topic is a catcher anyways (Does Race Matter)?. I can
say yes it does, and you can say no it don't. However it would
depends on the mindset.

So if you felt that I am upsetting the thread. Then I suggest that
you make sure that you don't. Worry about yourself and nobody
else. Can you understand that?

you might have had something to say or to add to the discussion - but, frankly, I have no clue what you're writiing about.

I'm not saying this to be nasty - but seriously, if you want to discuss issues with people, you really need to take a remedial English course. Your posts are incomprehensible.

I don't know why people keep saying that. I understand those posts just fine.

Although there is no way I'm voting for Hillary.

I'll probably not have the occassion -- or money -- to travel overseas anytime soon. But as things are now, if I did go, I would seriously consider dusting off my German and just pretending to be eine Deutchlander... LOL

I'd vote for Oboma over anybody else right now. But honestly, I don't think he has an icecube's chance in Hell.

Not only is he black, he has a "funny-sounding" name.
