I didn't say hate. There is a big difference between hate and despite.
I despise a lot of people, in fact, humanity in general, but I don't
hate anyone. I understand your reaction, but if you are seeking
to end racism, as we all are (i think), then it's the same old
trick that old parents teach new parents... If they know that it
bothers you, they can control you. So, don't let it bother you
an it eventually will stop. Easier said than done, I know, but
if you want to do your part to end racism once and for all, let it
die. Keeping the fight alive is not ending it, it is fighting
because you know you are right. But the issue isn't being right
anymore, that was proven a long time ago, the issue now is ending
it.
	The chaos after the Rodney King verdict was so anti-effectual
in ending racism, that it set it back for years. All those people
who were so against racism were promoting it, they were hating just
as much as any racist hates.
	And despite the fact that it is every American's right to
hate (keep in mind, hate is not illegal), the expresion of that
hate and intollerance is making it worse, not better. That's
my only point. I sympathise with you, and can understand your
reaction, but I hope that it taught you both something.
Him: that his mouth is going to get him into trouble.
You: that his mouth is going to get you into trouble.
Don't let that happen. You're on the right side of the
issue-stay there.

I agree with you Ryoga. The spam is what makes it fun. It's becomes a
conversation, instead of a lecture. (which is what it is if it's Q&A).
I enjoy discussion groups and all, but I can get plenty of that anytime.

My sig's at the top now, so if you don't like my posts, you can easily
avoid them. Hahahhaaa...this is a limited time offer while top-sig
supplies last!
