You failed again. You have still never provided my exact quote to support your claim that I believed and followed the cultural stereotypes. I never said the words “I believe,” or “I believed.” I simply presented the cultural stereotypes that were typical of the time. You chose to interpret them as my own belief. I could say Jesus is black, but that doesn’t prove that that is what I actually believe. You took a comment you knew to be a description of the cultural attitudes of the time, and tried to claim that it was my personal belief back then. You put words in my mouth, and thoughts in my mind from the period of time we were talking about...the 60’s. How great of a mind-reader do you think you are, that you can go back 60 years, and actually know for sure what my personal beliefs consisted of? If you think you’re that good, you should go on the road so you can try to flim-flam more people with your amazing mind.
“You failed again.”
Nice try.
“You have still never provided my exact quote to support your claim that I believed and followed the cultural stereotypes.”
But, I did. And so did you. You believed the stereotype because you said so: “I know that for a fact, because one of the girls I graduated with in 1965 joined the military, and the scoop back then was she was a dyke.” Thus, you accepted the stereotype. Moreover, you never refuted it; nor did you say it was unjustified. Your words were pretty explicit; and they were without qualification (i.e., you didn’t seek to restricted or limit them in content or substance or meaning).
“I could say Jesus is black, but that doesn’t prove that that is what I actually believe.”
Then why would you say it? If you didn’t believe it, or weren’t sure, you’d have said, “There is a theory that Jesus was black.” But, you made a definitive statement: “Jesus is black.”
“You put words in my mouth...”
No; you did that yourself: They were YOUR words; and I cited them verbatim.
“...and thoughts in my mind from the period of time we were talking about...the 60’s.”
One writes what is in one’s mind; where else can they come from, unless one is plagiarizing?
“How great of a mind-reader do you think you are, that you can go back 60 years, and actually know for sure what my personal beliefs consisted of?”
I wasn’t reading your mind; I was reading your WORDS.
