"Sometimes it's hard to see past the blackness: we do have a tendency to assume all black males are high testosterone potential rapists."
Maybe there are freepers who agree and are part of the "WE" who assume "all black males are high testosterone potential racists."
I am not one of them. I know naked racism when I see it and I called it out. You didn't write the post but you defended the post. Fine, but when you jump in that mud puddle some of it will stick to you.
The standards that Jim set for FR include "no racism". If that has changed then I think it's up to Jim to make the announcement.
The rules also include no personal attacks but I guess "bitch" and "moron" don't count since you feel free to use them against me. That doesn't bother me and it's fine with me if you keep it up as you stalk me from thread to thread but it does kind of break the rules that you are so anal about.
As for your pronounced intention to stalk me from thread to thread - keep right on doing it --- but be careful, it could prove addictive and you want to be careful about that.
JR, apologies for taking your time but laz chose to pull you in. Lots of long time freepers have objected openly and in back channel about the rise in racism on the forum, usually over the Zimmerman/Martin thing. Some of it is just ugly (as in this case). It is as though some folks want to give ammunition to those who declare FR a hate site.
When I see it I attack it, as in this case.
It is obvious that some freepers want a free hand to post what they want and so label any voice opposing the racism as a troll. Based on the like-minded crew that Laz has developed by following me around and posting the same "ignore him - he's nothing but a race baiting troll" post, but there are not many of them and their insults don't bother me.
Finally, do you want your forum to be a place where posts like ----
"Sometimes it's hard to see past the blackness: we do have a tendency to assume all black males are high testosterone potential rapists" ---
are defended and permitted to stand but objections to them are deleted? Because right now, that's how it is.
You are a Racism troll, aren't you? The sly little implications that Free Republic is raciss, and the interminable blathering justifications for your trolling.
I agree with Laz.
!Sure.
1) An article was posted that had, in one sentence, a thought that seemed racist Of course, the author was black, but... still..
2) You posted a comment with drect implication that the poster was racist.
3) I defended the posting by the poster, pointing out is was unfair to claim the poster believed everything the author wrote.
4) You claimed that if you poat an article, you believe everything the author wrote.
5) I pointed out the many articles written by WashPost and NYT, and asked you to justify your mistaken comments against those.
6) You ignored it and claimed I was a racist for not condemning the article. You steadfastly refuse to back your claims, and you go back repeatedly to the unsupportable claim I am a racist.
Ergo, and something I saw you do in your history, YOU ARE A RACE TROLL.
Wrong. I defended the postER.
I did not defend the post, I defended the postER
The postER.
In cast you cannot read well or missed it
I did not defend the post, I defended the postER
As for your pronounced intention to stalk me from thread to thread - keep right on doing it --- but be careful, it could prove addictive and you want to be careful about that.
You are a Race Troll. Everyone should know that, lest they feel like they need to do any more than point and laugh at you.
Sounds like a refreshing bit of honesty from someone who is admitting that his perceptions are wrongly colored by society, news and popular black culture.
On the other hand you are an unrepentant Race Troll, an extreme bigot, and all your whining doesn't even begin to cover it up.
Holy crap. Your calling someone a racist, without basis and with total unfairness, that you subsequently failed to defend, was deleted?
That should show you something. About you. About how you are viewed.
But it won't.
