I'm just going to throw this out there because it needs to be said. Hanky, baiting someone by playing the race card and making references to being a "gansta" and a "druggie" is really, really low. The majority of the time, I do not agree with Huggy, but in this instance, I do. Clearly, I'm not staff, but this exchange with Huggy, crosses a line and honestly, was uncalled for.

Thanks for playing me, and anyone else who opposes Huggy right into that asshole's hands. The "gangsta" and "druggie" reference is entirely fair on account of his chronically aggressive, particularly menacing ("no, you really don't want to go there" (or I'll throw shit at you)), paranoid, and vindictive style. The slouching avatar pose with the hoodie doesn't help his case any on that. You don't get a free pass for behaving like a druggie, a gangland hood, nor any sort of an asshole just on account of your skin color, and if you allow one like Huggy that then it is you, not me who is practicing racism. A few lines were crossed, but not by me! Nobody should be allowed to hide behind their politically-charged racial status while taking potshots at the rest of the world just because they are angry about something, and when you give them this, then my fight is as much with the knee-jerk liberals who really don't understand or care more about justice than those who ran slave plantations in North Carolina.

Hold up, did you just flip the script and insinuate that Judi is a racist?

Racism is when a person feels their race is superior to others. The only one that comes close to exhibiting that kind of behavior is you.

He's at the ocean (or lake perhaps) wearing what appears to be a backpack. That doesn't strike me as particularly "gansta". It looks like a vacation pic to me.

I haven't had much interaction with Huggy, but I have been reading his exchanges with others since joining AF. While he has struck me as a bit of a nerd (sorry, Huggy!) on more than one occasion, I've never read anything that would indicate he's a thug or involved in gang activity of any kind.

Just my thoughts.

No offense taken

That pic was taken in Cancun, I was trying to avoid getting anymore tan than I already am, hence the hoodie.

Huggy always shows up with his balls swinging. First he threatens those who made comments which he disagrees with ("you'd better not say that"), then he unloads his treasure trove of dirt which he keeps on everyone, showing his vindictive side. He also finds an excuse every time to play the race card. Huggy is not a nice guy at all, and if you aren't aware of that, then you need not weigh in on those who have the misfortune of being the target of his shit.

Because I disagree with you. Because I stand up to your bullying attempts. Because I won't be intimidated by your false use of the race card when your disrespect is repaid in kind. You played that one in an attempt to leverage me, and it backfired on you - SURPRISE! You really are a fine sort of an asshole, and as I have more than plainly stated on numerous occasions, color doesn't matter to me at all - I don't like white people who behave as you have either, and I do recognize when they act that way.

I hate to break it to you, but you're not the only one to disagree with me, I'd go so far as to say 99.99999 percent of this forum disagrees with me, and I have to take a few insults on occasion. I never attributed that to race, that's just the nature of debating a controversial topic like religion. Atheists are just as passionate about their "non- beliefs" as some are about their beliefs.

You on the other hand were the first one to bring up race. You sir made race an issue, therefore don't get mad when you are called on it.

I'll politely remind you that I can weigh in where I like, Hanky. No offense.
This is a public forum.

I never seen Huggy play the "race card" Honestly, I've seen him go well out of his way to avoid being accused of playing it even as you were clearly attempting to goad him into doing so. 

What I'm saying is that there should be a reason for accusing anyone of being a wife-beating, child-beating, druggie, thugged-out gangster. I've never seen any reason to accuse him of such very specific, criminal behavior. If you're honestly insisting that you consider a response of "you'd better not say that" (or similar) in the context of a debate a sufficient reason to make such harsh criminal accusations against another person (whether you disagree with them or not) then that's unfortunate.

And btw, most of the fellows on these forums, show up to debates with their "balls swinging" (you included)...What else is new?

I didn't "play" you or anyone else, first.

Second, knock it off with that bullshit because clearly, if a white guy had said "no, you really don't want to go there", you wouldn't have made any references to "ganstas" or to "druggies".

Quote:The slouching avatar pose with the hoodie doesn't help his case any on that.

As for Huggy's picture, it's a fucking picture. And I believe it was taken while he was on vacation with his wife. Have you seen her pic? She's very beautiful. Why don't you quit assuming things, while you're ahead. Your assumptions are WAY off base here, buddy.

Quote:You don't get a free pass for behaving like a druggie, a gangland hood, nor any sort of an asshole just on account of your skin color,

You are disgusting. Where has he ever shown or displayed behavior indicative of any sort of drug use or being in a gang? And people of ALL colors can be assholes. Just like you are being an asshole right now.  

Quote:and if you allow one like Huggy that then it is you, not me who is practicing racism.

One like huggy? Explain that. He has a right to post here, as does anyone else. You aren't on staff and clearly, you are the racist one, pal.

Quote:A few lines were crossed, but not by me!

Oh but they were. And the proof is in your exchange with Huggy. If you can't see that, I feel sorry for you.

 Where is his "politically-charged racial status" even racial? Point it out. All it says by his avatar is that he believes in God, not religion. That's not racist. That's not even politically charged. Everyone on this forum has taken pot shots at other people on this forum at one point or another. It doesn't make them racist and it sure as hell doesn't mean they are on drugs or in a gang. Grow the fuck up.  Are you so racist that this is the only thing you have to use against a person who has been here far longer than you have and who's views you don't see eye to eye with? Honestly, you just lost any sort of respect I had for you.

And again, I may not see eye to eye with Huggy's religious point of view, but he's still a person and deserves to be treated as such. Your baseless accusations based entirely on his picture, skin color and a single post of "you really don't want to go there" are very disturbing. The sheer amount of hate you have towards certain people here, does not give you the right to spew your hate, in this manner, against someone you don't even know.

We can all be assholes at times, but you have take that to an entirely new level no one knew existed.
