I may not agree with everything Frotaz has said on the matter of modern racism, but that's just the details-devil in me that is kept in check for the sake of brevity on everyone's behalf and my own intellectual fatigue after a long, arduous day. I will respect his opinion, however. At least he has some solid facts to back up his assertions.
You (AV), on the other hand, do not have anything remotely resembling that. Super Sonic's dissection of one of your most recent posts was accurate to a tee. I'm honestly surprised that the DH hasn't broke their foot off in your *** for all the fallacious, ad hominem-filled bull**** that you're spouting.
Just an example: What in the hell does a cracker's hue have anything to do with the slang word? It's the ****ing concept BEHIND it, not the reality of a cracker being the composite sum of grains and flour making it some color that isn't pure white. You're just trying to be literal for the sake of being literal and claiming THAT is logic. It's not logic. It's a far cry from it; it's more like a superficial observation of something based strictly off what you can see.
Oh hey, looks like we've reached full circle here. I'm done.
Edit:
I will say that I do not consider myself a racist individual and I go to great pains to ensure that is crystal clear to everyone, even my black friends. I also find black women to be quite attractive (I've dated a couple) so it's not taboo or anything to date outside of my race. I will say that I am guilty of using the "n" word on occasion but it's usually as a retort to my black friends when THEY call me that (and it's always the *******ized, heavily accented version of the word as well. Not that it makes any difference, but for claification's sake..). The word's origins are not lost on me and I am well aware of just how derisive it ultimately is (fun fact: the word is originally African, in some dialectic tongue of the tribes from that land, and it is not very nice in that language either) which is why I will never, outside of anybody that I am close to, use that word. I guess if we get down to brass tacks it's still hypocritical but I do not sling it about carelessly, nor do I call every black man or woman I meet that. Otherwise I'd be out of a job real quick and I wouldn't have any friends that are black, period.
