First time I’ve seen that assessment and it’s right on. Thanks for the post.

In the early 70’s I was on a ship that was undergoing a 2 month upkeep in Boston Naval Shipyard. Seems anywhere you went, especially near the Shipyard was N(word) this and N(word) that. If on a bus, in a restaurant, on the street or wherever, that was normal conversation...NO whispering or talking in a low voice. Seemed the locals went out of their way to say N***er, coon, spade or shine when there was a black person within hearing distance. It was like a taunting challange.

Now, I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and probably don't hear one of those words more than once every month or so.

A lot of racist ***holes live in the “deep blue” states. If you’re looking for racism, the “deep blue” states are the first place to look.

I can’t fault you for ignorance, but can you spare us the gratuitous ignorance

Oh really?

Guess Philadelphia doesn’t (or didn’t) have a judge and a lockup at the stadium to handle rowdy fans.

Guess they didn’t boo Santa Claus.

Guess they didn’t start a riot when World Series rings were being passed out.

I could go on but it would be like talking to my ex wife.

Go Flyers! Hopefully Simmonds will score the series winner against the Devils! Jagr gratuitously paid back those oh so gracious Penguins fans(aholes)!

Fans were yelling ‘Get the white boy out.’

Marcus Jacoby (the only white on the historically black Southern University football team from 1996 to 1998) —

Quote:

“I heard the entire stadium booing me. Fans were yelling ‘Get the white boy out.’””

Mr. Jacoby left the team because of repeated death threats.

clearly you don’t know s__t about s__t, let alone context, or the incidents that go unreported elsewhere for fear of journalists actually having to work for a living. or I guess you just think lazy, biased journalism is limited to politics. keep your mouth shut and spare us your ignorance.

one example: new jersey devils fans throwing garbage on the ice as I type... any comments for them, or does it not suit your agenda?

First off, don’t let your hummingbird arse overload your alligator mouth.

As to ignorance, facts are facts but maybe your Ivy League(?) education didn’t teach you how to do research.

you have an axe to grind and found an excuse to take a gratuitous shot at an entire region and its people. as far as I’m concerned, you’re a classless jackass. people like you make me wish the site had an ignore button. in conclusion, go take a long walk off a short cliff. good day.

I have no axe to grind, merely pointed out a fact.
The fact that I consider you a pompous arse has absolutelty no bearing on how I feel about Libertarians in general.
As to ‘ignore button’, there must already be one as I don’t seem to have paid attention to any of your postings - either that or you have said NOTHING that would be of interest to me.
Understand, that while (at this point) I know there are many fine people in the (your) region, I don’t believe I will be able to count you among them.
Take your childish, churlish behavior and put it where the sun doesn’t shine.

/end..

the only thing you pointed out was your own preconceived notion. I’ve drawn the conclusion that you’re a thundering moron. note that I actually have EVIDENCE for my assertion. kindly get stuffed.
