That's an interesting dodge.
I'm not dodging a damned thing!

Didn't you just post some links to BP's Ben Franklin quotes??
Why yes, I did. If you had read what I wrote on the other thread you would see that all I was doing was giving more context than that which was given in a small snippet of an essay.

What exactly was your point??
Well now that you know why I posted the link and gave more context than a snippet you should be able to see that I had no point, nor was I trying to make one beyond...don't place as a "comprehensive" quote something that it isn't.

And I have no idea what you think the Norman Saxon thing is supposed to prove.
My point there was to show that if the non-Anglo Saxon European aspect were to be followed then the descendants of the French/Normans/Gauls (minus the Gaulic/Germanic tribes of that time) who are non-Anglo Saxon Europeans would never be eligible for POTUS.

That affects me as one branch of my family tree is the Bergeron line and I'm as "white" as any other person of Anglo-Saxon descent. Another branch goes back to merry old England via 1760's America.
I'm a regular "smorgasbord" of various ancient nationalities and races and I wear my "headband" proudly.

I'm a mutt/mongrel/cur in every sense of the word.

Context of what?? You're not saying what your point is for needing more context of anything.

Which would reinforce that what BP posted was not racist.
