USA heading down a grim road....Posted By James Brown |
Just in case anyone jumps into reading this thread toward the end, I ought to clarify that what I actually posted was quite a bit more supportive of Richard than the dishonest but predictable "poor me, I'm the victim" cut/paste quoted above. Here is the quote in full, with the emphasis as it was in my original post:Originally Posted by Richard Davis
You, the closet racist (who BTW has never had a black friend in his life): you might have replied that blacks are less intelligent, or less moral, or biologically programmed to crime and so on.
And when you make these interpretations of what You claim I might have said?
Well, l'll just chalk that up to you doing your usual projection of your psyche, onto others.
Fact is that I didn't say those things, but those stereotypes sure came into your mind didn't they?
"I thought this was a reasonably clever rhetorical move, since you probably do not believe some possible answers to Dave's rhetorical question, assuming you are not a virulent old-school racist. i.e. you might have replied that blacks are less intelligent, or less moral, or biologically programmed to crime and so on. In 1920 a lot of people would have said those sort of things. I am glad you did not, since those sentiments would indeed have been completely virulent old-school racist."
