You must think that was some devastating critique of my comment. You have clouded the issue by conflating my criticism of your (apparent) racism with my (non-existent) support for the liberal organization you meant to demean.

Irrelevantly, I would not support Arnold Schwarzenegger if I lived in California, because I do not support pro-abortion, anti-gun, non-tax-cutting politicians.

Back to the issue at hand, rather than an imagined issue, there are many ways to jeer at a liberal organization. Why choose to do so with a snide, stereotypical representation of a "black accent"? How could that technique have possibly added to your jab at Pew?

One of your apologists enlightened me by sharing the "rich vein" of history associated with the "phonemic genre." But in the examples he cited, there was some function to the use of accents. You still haven't answered my question about what the function of yours was.

That you don't have an answer -- or at least didn't in your last response -- suggests that the racism I identified is real, even if you don't acknowledge it.

It is becoming sadly obvious that nothing I could possibly say will ever dislodge you from your cherished conclusion that you instantly jumped to, and now you feel you must perpetually defend. So... this is the end, my FRiend!!!
