Hey BJ, sorry if I offended you. I'm talking about the people that make everything about race or politics. Every comment is the looney left or undocumented democrat, or something offensive to that matter. I didn't even consider you in that light, since you ask questions and are pretty even tempered.

I don't consider you a racist. The reason Postmaster stuck out in my mind; before I got to know him, we used to bump heads on Obama a lot. But after talking to him, I realized he wasn't. And I miss him now that's he's gone.

My comment was out of context. For that' I'm deeply sorry.

Here's the problem...Whenever race is brought up (which is about every discussion around here) you and Janelle take any statement made and twist it around into someone saying something negative about "all black people". Just look at this thread...nobody has said anything about "all black people", yet look where it went.

You actually made the statement that all conservatives, except one, are blatant racists. That's a pretty harsh statement. Nobody here has made a statement about all blacks but people constantly get accused of it. You pretty much called me a racist and that's not right.

Hey B_J good to see you man.

Good to see you too. Am I still allowed to talk to GanD ( the nicest moderator on VJ) or is he too important now?

We are still allowed to to converse with G, but we must refer to him as "Your Highness" and leave gifts at his door.

Oh and FTR, its a shame you feel discouraged to post here. Your voice, IMO, is one that sorely needed. Sorely........

My voice isn't that importants. I used to try to make intelligent statements but I just sounded stupids. So, I decided to just start making stupid statements. It's a lot more funs.

But to act as if you do not see this on VJ is a travesty in itself. I never personally said ANYONE in this thread made this statement. And that is where things went wrong. Incompleteness on my part. However to ignore the fact that this is what we see on VJ is ridiculous.

What you are saying is untrue. Blacks are called nappyhead h### on VJ, thugs, worst neighbors, lowest IQs, can't get educated, single baby mommas, criminals, etc, many generalized statements about blacks in a lot of these threads. But yet, you choose to ignore this and then make the statement above because myself and Marvin comment on the generalized statements. This is quite disappointing. And when I choose to point out the blacks that are doing good, getting educated and doing something worth while, we are still generalized and plagued by stats that have nothing to do with the success of other blacks.

The problem with your comment is this, it is not something you deal with so there will always be a small piece of realness missing from the situation that you will not be able to fully understand. Nothing is wrong with this. I get it and I envy you for not having to carry this burden or mattress.(see other thread for this comment) If we could change the way our lives go daily I would. If I could change my daughter going to school being called out of her name, coming home crying, asking what is wrong with her, why is she not beautiful because she is black, I WOULD!!!! We will eventually have to pack our bags and leave where we are between what she deals with here and myself.

Again, you just cannot understand why these issues are dearer to some than others. Generalizations and stereotypes hurt. If you are not the one dealing with them you just wouldn't be able to fully understand it.

No we don't. We just point out what was said. Maybe we just get tired of the disrespectful comments that are made about black people day in and day out. Last week it was actually said that we have a lower IQ than anyone else. That was towards all black people. Not just some. Every comment is Blacks commit more crime, not some. That's not a twist.

I apologized for my mistake.

Wow, we in the shadows find this a mighty interesting thread. We love to hear about what each of you have to say it makes my boring life interesting!

I believe that is the entire concept of a discussion board. Who is "we"? :ph34r:
