Is 'white' the only color of success?

Since you obviously refuse to explain or defend your remarks, you must only read the talking points instead of understand them..

So, I'll give you another chance to dazzle us with something unique. Find a single post from me defending anyone on this thread.

And I'll explain this to you one more time. He was banned because you tattled not because of his remarks. If racists remarks were his reason for being banned, this article and thread would have been completely removed the minute it was posted.

He was banned because you tattled not because of his remarks.

I pinged the mods BECAUSE HE ASKED ME TOO. Get that through your head. Get this through your head as well. NO ONE gets banned because of complaints. They get BANNED BECAUSE OF CONTENT!! Just stop. This is getting embarrassing for you.

[ladyinred]

Why yes, except for Bill Clinton of course. (think about it! )

[darbymcgill]

They get BANNED BECAUSE OF CONTENT!!

Really, then please give me some more of your brilliance and explain why you get a pass for calling someone a POS. And why the article wasn't pulled because it is 100% full of racist CONTENT.

Might I add that you've still failed.... I repeat, failed to answer a single question I've posed to you. Are they really that difficult? maybe you're afraid or maybe the script you read from doesn't have the answers.

[Graybeard58]

And why the article wasn't pulled because it is 100% full of racist CONTENT.

Do you really believe that?

[MikefromOhio]

I'll answer to you when you get around to answering to me WHY you are defending a BANNED racist....

you seem to be quite insistent about it.

Either answer or just drop it. you are getting tiresome.

[MikefromOhio]

of course he does.

And he wants to protect his buddy the racist

[darbymcgill]

Current Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis was rewarded with a 10 year contract after a 5-2 start in his first 7 games as coach. He is white. Tyrone Willingham started 8-0 his first 8 games as coach at ND. He was shown the door after 3 years. He is black.

Gary Gibbs was the Oklahoma football coach for 5 years and had only one losing season. He was fired. He is white.

Howard Schnellenberger was the Oklahoma football coach for one year and had a .500 seaason. He was fired. His is white.

John Blake was the Oklahoma football coach for three years all of which were losing seasons before he was fired. His is black.

What's your point?

[darbymcgill]

WHY you are defending a BANNED racist....

If you can't identify a post of mine that defends anyone on this thread then you owe me an apology.

Maybe your too tired to look.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

no just tired of sifting through the garbage you keep posting to me....


you seem AWFULLY insistent on painting me as the bad guy to NOT be attempting to defend the banned racist....

[darbymcgill]

insistent on painting me as the bad guy to NOT be attempting to defend the banned racist....

Ok... Try to defend these posts for me... I saw one that referenced "white trash", one referenced "low class whites", one was so bold as to say they'd love to own a t-shirt that said "kill the honkeys", and you who called someone a POS.

Please tell me how the "content" of these posts are so much more pure and non-racist than the post you got so worked up about?

And please don't get tired on me. I'll be here until you answer.

pssst... I already know the answer, I'm wondering if you do.

[MikefromOhio]

pssst... I already know the answer, I'm wondering if you do.

Gee Gaijin, you certainly didn't seem to know the answers last night....

It ain't always so subtle. I'm still in shock over the thread on interacial dating that Jim deleted. Hat's off to Jim for the deed. It was sickening. You couldn't count the so-called conservatives who were coming down hard on the side of racism.

[darbymcgill]

Now that you've lost this argument you have no other resort than to start calling me names too. Is David Duke next, then Robert Byrd. Will you call me a POS after that.

You claim to enter these threads to have a conversation about race but you want no such thing. You want to preach. You look at posts and say "yeah" when an article is posted claiming institutional racism against blacks, but are noticeably silent when those adversely affected by government sanctioned affirmative action are taunted as whiners.

You think it's funny when someone says "white trash" and claim they want to "kill honkeys". You then become rigorously indignant when a hint of negativity appears towards non-whites. You express outrage, blast out the tiresome racist claim. You goad the posters into an argument by calling them names, you build straw men by falsely associating them to every bigot you can think of, (not surprisingly all of them white). Then you call them a POS just before you so bravely press the abuse button.

You fail to accept challenges to your tripe by intentionally not answering questions about your own bigoted remarks all the while posing as the savior to the gentile conversation.

You are so noble and should be honored for your hypocrisy and deceit.

[Melas]

Save the song and dance. The endless badgering thing is just getting old. Gaijin's comments were racist. Everyone agreed on that point but you, including the moderator.

[darbymcgill]

Do you really believe that?

ok... Probably not 100%.

Now tell me you believe g.. whomever was banned because of the "content" of his/her posts.

[darbymcgill]

Everyone agreed on that point but you, including the moderator.

Not you too, please find a post on this thread where I have defended anyone's derogatory remarks. Just because you want to say it doesn't make it so. The point I am trying to make is that people get banned because someone tattles. There are many more posts on this thread that in my opinion are much more racist and extremely more defamatory than the post which was pulled. If you want to believe that the mods pull all posts that don't adhere to posting ettiquette, you go right ahead.

If that were the case this thread would be half the size it is now.

[Graybeard58]

I complained about one of gaijin's posts before Mike did. It was blatently racist,or so I thought. The post stood.

Many posts later gaijin asked Mike to report him. Instead of hitting abuse he posted to the admin mod and JR. That got somebodies attention because he was quickly booted.

Neither MikeInIraq nor I got gaijin banned, he did that himself.

Before all this happened #12 was deleted, it was a poor attempt at parody of how someone thought black people talk. The remark was removed but as far as I know the member is still active. He had the good sense not to persist with that kind of posting.

I know you don't appreciate people hitting the abuse button but that's what it's there for. To notify the mods and they make the call.

I do not think you are racist neither do I think Mike was wrong in taking on someone who he, the mods/owner thought was.

[Graybeard58]

Now tell me you believe g.. whomever was banned because of the "content" of his/her posts.

If not for that, what do you think he was banned for? Because I complained? Because Mike complained? I don't know about MikeInIraq but I don't have any pull at all here. I do not know the owner personally or any of the mods, nor am I a long time member.

[darbymcgill]

Thank you for your reply. Finally a cogent response.

I saw his posts and as with many posts on these types of threads I try to take it as intended or as I perceive it was intended. They may be uncouth but for the most part are non-abusive. I see many hee hee ha ha posts that I find blatantly offensive and they are never challenged by the "racist cops" on these threads. Not surprisingly most are towards whites. For instance, there is a post currently in this thread in which the poster wishes they had a t-shirt that said "kill the honkeys".

I saw not a single post putting this person in their place the way the deluge would have been had they wished for another type of t-shirt.

Either be consistent or don't be so sensitive. We cannot have a valid discussion about race without being intellectually honest with each other. The hypocrisy that emits from these threads is an embarrassment. I realize the mods/Jim want to give the appearance of not being a redneck right wing white power blog. I couldn't agree more, but you and your ping list could be a bit more helpful by being more consistent. If you're going to press abuse for abuse against blacks, press for abuse against others.

I personally have never touched the abuse button and never would. Although I find many posts, even some in this thread to be above and beyond offensive/abusive. My own personal policy is that comments found offensive and their posters should be ignored. But that's just me.
