you aren’t doing your race any favors.
See that’s what I am talking about. I am only one person, stating opinions that other blacks my agree or disagree with. Am I emotional about this, yes, it hurts to know that this is the way others see my people when I know this is not who we really are.
Your response would be different if there was a kernel of truth? Do you see the fallacy? This is a large part of why your comments are met with disdain.
If you want to add something to the debate, try coming armed with something other than liberal platitudes, premises, and profanity. My experience is that Freeper's aren't scared off by these things like Joe Television. Also, most will listen to a cogent, researched, and eloquent reply [how many Freepers predict that this, out of all of the points I'm trying to make, will be the one cherry-picked in reply?]. Most cherish the classical tradition of rhetoric and dialogue.
You are in a unique situation to offer a distinct viewpoint. You squander this with bringing the banal points of a SPLC lackey. In order to do what I suggest, you'll have to work at it. If you cannot do this, then your "people" would be better served by your silence. If you don't want to do this or don't feel it is worth it, you have chosen the wrong audience for evangelizing and I submit that your posturing was only to gather confirmatory evidence of a liberal worldview that you already find quite satisfying.
