Sorry to accidentally include you with the rest of the bunch. I was agreeing with your post. And I was pinging those others who on another thread were accusing everyone who noticed that the looters were black of being "racial bigots."
Excuse me, sir. But I did no such thing. I asked you an above the board question that you blew off as "irrelevant." I'd let it go, so you are the one continuing something. Not me.

NOLA had an absurdly high per-capita murder rate in the last three years I lived there ('92-'95), averaging more than one KNOWN murder per day, in a city of less than 500,000, mostly concentrated in exactly the same sub-demographic now making life Hell for those folks who are now being rescued from the flood: PROJECT RATS.
And for God's sake, let everyone realise one true fact: this is nothing to do with race, and everything to do with culture.

I've never seen a clearer case of someone saying, "Who are you going to believe -- me or your lying eyes?"
I think I'll continue to believe my eyes, despite your proclamation of a supposed "one true fact."
to which I replied with this:

You know, that's the most open admission of racial bigotry I've ever seen on Free Republic.
I was considering treating you to an explanation of the demographics of the situation, but I figure: why waste the effort?
It suffices to say that your eyes are not lying, but the data filters resident inside your mind are doing a wonderful job of deceit.
etc...

It isn't the fact of noticing that the looters are/were black, it is the insinuation that they are/were looters BECAUSE they are black that prompted recognition of racial animosity on the part of some FReepers.
read the thread and see whom you agree with, Flyer.
oh, and Maximum Loon? your post #33 on the thread referenced above was removed by the moderators. You know the one where you first accused me and others of being dishonest? Yeah, that one. GONE.
So it seems you lied to Petronski about your supposedly blemish-free posting history
