Rick,

How disgusting that the 'F' word has been used again.

Can we please just stop this!!

I was trying to make a point which I am no longer as determined to pursue. Not willing to pay the toll anymore.

Please let this die.

Shut up!

just go back and read for yourself where you asked me and rug to pick out dish patterns.

Insinuating that we must be homos. So what if two men like each other enough to pick out china? There is no law against it. Except condescending homophobes like you come around to insult us.

you have now called me a **** and a liar.

uh...compay....did you just admit to being gay? I'm not following you.

You talk all this talk about gays being screwed up, and "turd pushers," and how you hate the fact that someone tries to defend a gay man's civil rights, but yet now you want to try to preach to Rickamaven about how it's "okay for two men to be gay and pick out china together?"

Did you just become a liberal or something?

Why are you stepping over to this side of the fence....get back over there on the gay-bashers side where you were yesterday.

You're confusing me.

it's a shame that what's his name mistook one of toby's expressions which she corrected me on,

it's picking out a silver pattern, not a dish pattern. it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

she has used the expression when she sees me and gamine the rose breasted cockatoo cuddling.

when she saw me rolling on the floor at the breeders house when i was tryting to decide if i wanted

that pushed in face, short stubby looking goofy faced shi-tzu. she said to the breeder, hoe much is

the pup, i think when we leave here they are going out to pick out a silver pattern.

another of her expressions when i am in the way of her doing sosmething is "rick, go outside and

lite a cigar." which means of coursel, get the hell out of my way.

i started this thread as a semi apology semi explaination to someone i had called a rascisst so he

would understand why i called him a racist because he used some cliche that is in fact an

expression of prejudice and he, being niave and stupid, didn't know was a racist remark.

it is strange that i have not been called on either time i have used an old phrase the is also racist.

"that's mighty white of you." i would have thought someone would pick up omn it and help make

my point about these phrases we say without thinking.

joe lewis was a credit to his race, is another old one.

they sure can dance, another one.

jews own all the banks is another.

jews own hollywood is another

they are lazy is another.

that's enough to establish my point.

have you read or listened to zinn's book yet?

Not yet Rick...I ordered it.

Another one that is pretty good is:

"I have lot's of black friends...I have them over at the house all the time."

Whenever us white guys say things like, "I DO have black friends," or "How can I be a racist? After all, my spouse/friend/lover/etc is black/Jew/etc," usually we don't hear the offended ones uttering "yeah, and I bet you have them over at your house ALL the time don't you?"

At least that's what all my black friends tell me anyway.

Adroomi,

When someone mutters "I've got black friends" it's typically during a discussion of racism. So, although the comment taking by itself can indeed be considered racist, in the context of the subject matter it should not be.

If we were talking about spicy food, and I said "I eat habaneros every day", you wouldn't accuse me of bragging about my scovil endurance.

So, if I "happen" to have some friends that fit the description of the group we're speaking of, it isn't absurd to mention that fact during the discussion. I know what you're saying, but I don't agree that it's such a clear issue as you propose.

At least that's what my black friends tell me.

The word "my" was susposed to be emphasized.

This thread has been going on so long, I was white when it started and now I'm sort of tan.

Well, more like manila folder yellow, but I am darker!

But if I am the racist that I have been called, I'm going to start hating myself real soon.
