Is Black Friday racist?

[Pooky 3,840]

Who is "methinks" directed to?

Hopefully not me since I understand English just fine without slang or Ebonics.

It is neither slang, nor Ebonics.

However, delve back in time and Shakespeare wrote in a similar fashion.

'methinks' is not officially an Eubonics word.

olde English, certainly, predating the validity of Eubonics in American Society.

There's good black people? (sorry, couldn't resist )

There's good and bad in people, period. Skin color has nothing to do with the quality of a person, nor the greatness of knowing them.

Haha

I know this, but there are people who do not know skin color does not determine if a person is good or bad.

It is neither slang, nor Ebonics.

Okay. I will let Shakespeare keep it. Thanks for the info.

Racism is stupid. If you meant no harm I believe you. I'm just sick of racist posts on VJ. Most of them by people who have never in their life interacted with a good black person before.

People should get a life.

I absolutely meant no harm. I don't like racist posts here either. I started this thread with the intent of showing how stupid some members here sound with their racist posts and topics. My intent was in good humor, not to offend anyone, black or white. I know that The Conciliator and myself do joke around with you and Marvin at times and I hope that you both take in the spirit in which it is intended. I can only speak for myself, but I mean no personal insult at all. On the other hand, The Conciliator....................................................

Good to know because at first I was really disappointed in you. You hurt my heart. Sniff sniff

All better now.

I for one thought it was a valid question. Opened up the racial divide there is in this country to debate.

It sucks when you don't understand it, doesn't it?

You obviously confused me with someone who gives a damn ---- it's just another forum

I'm not confused at all. You don't understand the reason for the thread, no big deal.

Let me try this for you - from an "outsiders" point of view the thread is very racist. You might save this subject for private messaging. It is a public forum. Must be something to do when it's too cold to go outside.... cheers!

No need to try anything. Is it cold where you live?
