It did that indeed but also attracted boirder line racisist comments.

There have been and well documented efforts by white supremacist groups in the past to infilitrate FR. Then there are your run-of-the-mill every day bigots who also happen to be conservative republicans who chime in with snide remarks. Not much you can really do on a forum like this, but take them to task if you think they are spewing hatred.

who raised more money for the school?

It is not just about coaching, it is about donations to the school.

Some people can't see past the surface.

Indeed some cannot, and you are one of them.

A black speaks properly, yet this is UNblack? That's outrageous.

Are were you going to square the circle?

She had a beautiful smile, and wasn't afraid to show it.

Sometimes "getting ahead" is just that simple.

It's the very first thing that attracted me to my wife.

She still has it.

I know. And Larry Byrd was a white guy. Go figure.

It is not just about coaching, it is about donations to the school.

So the Notre Dame alumni donate more to a white coach with a 5-2 record than a black one who is 8-0.

You wade into a discussion you can't possibly follow, tarring everyone with the dog-eared label of "racist" and the bare minimum availible about you is off limits?

Your profile is a public thing, you created it quite as surely as I typed my own, completely unracist words, and you expect it to go without any scrutiny?

Or by asking a question, am I surveying or boring you?

Keep up here, I know your head is probably spinning at this point...

Any who posts the following tripe:

I'm dying to know what "acting white" is...

Is that where you treacherously omitt the "F" word from most sentences?

Or it that where you hit on merely 1/3 of the office staff?


Is an absolute racist POS.

My sister in law is a dark-complected Peruvian by birth, and a lawyer. She started off with huge masses of crimped hair in a clip and fuchsia lipstick. People didn't take her too seriously, at least on first impressions.

Now she wears her power suits, her hair in a chignon, subtle make-up, and presents a far more polished and professional appearance than I do, for instance (and I'm about as white as they get). She is quite successful.

LOL

since you keep bringing my profile up as IF it has any relevance to you being a racist, my guess is that you can't possibly fathom any other possible comment to rebut my statements and instead want to make fun of my interests.

How far am I off on that Senator Byrd? Or are you David Duke?

What is ACTING WHITE? When a black person "acts white" what do they do?

What does this:

Is that where you treacherously omitt the "F" word from most sentences?

Or it that where you hit on merely 1/3 of the office staff?



So is what you quoted "acting black"??? Way to stereotype. Do you think you're cute? Do you think you're funny? Come on Senator, I know we all aren't as smart as Teddy the Plimp, but we CAN read.

When a black person refuses to use obscenities, does that mean they're TALKING "WHITE"?

Good point.

Racism and jingoism and chauvinism and solipsism come from the angry and hateful mind (whatever the source).

No, I don't think they're "acting black", should they do that.
