PRA, damage control, exactly. Now that answers your question satisfactorily. He fucked up the first time and didn't realize this until later. By the time of the second interview he tried to rectify the mistake he did by resorting to the art of rationalization "but I also considered their height, so it's not like I wanted to kill a black boy or something, just any black grown-up dude".

Also, racist attitudes are what breed racism, just as certain attitudes lead to murder. See, this is why I asked you what you took out of this because it feels like you just want to excuse racist attitudes as if they can do no harm and therefore we shouldn't diss someone for being open about them but not really acknowledging the damage it does to others and not acknowledging the racist aspect of their attitude.

Love your use of the phrase "some theist" by the way. It shows me once again the tribalistic thinking you indulge yourself in.

And yet, he never changed his story, retracted any statements or went back on anything he said. Doesn't sound like he has anything to hide to me. And I don't remember the theist in question which is why I said it that way; you immediately jumped to "tribalistic thinking" without knowing why I said it that way... interesting projection on your part.

Not for nothin..but if I were racist and just needed to share, I'd definitely share with you before I shared with grand.  That doesn't mean, in and of itself, that you're a racist, or that grand isn't..just that you express yourself in a way that lends credence to the idea that I'd have a better shot pinging your wall, is all.  Just like a racist might try me before they tried grand, lol. Anybody...anybody... who bitches to high heaven about "pc culture" is a safer bet by default. I don;t bitch about pc culture..but I look, walk, and talk the part - just as I was raised to do.

Temet Nosce.

I'm not entertaining your nonsense.

It's a lame attempt at riling me up and it's laughable. Once again showing how much of a complete joke you are.

Not really.  

It's more an attempt to help you realize why people might think that you're a racist...along with the assumption that you aren't, and that you would change your interactions so that they accurately reflected who you are, rather than those people whose interactions in that same style are meant to explicitly signal as much to others. You're familiar with racists, I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know. The minute a convo devolves into pc this or pc that, it becomes a game of racist guess who, and you know that.

I think that you're a poor communicator with some dodgy ideas. Trust me, if I thought you were a bigot I'd just call you a bigot every second sentence..... ask around.

Talking about "why people might think [I'm] a racist." And yet I've said no hateful, prejudicial or racist comments about any group whatsoever. You're talking complete nonsense. This is why people don't want to have these conversations. What you're doing right now is literally the problem, aside from actual racism.

I completely get that you think that.  However, does what you think constrain what others think of you?  Is it always the case that others opinion of you is irrational and baseless? You know better, yes?

(yes, yes yes, Im this and I'm that and I'm totally the problem, I probably cause cancer and I surely shot kennedy - are we done with this bit yet..fuck - I don't actually give a shit about what you think of me, but do you care why others might think that you're a racist cutout....?)

So rather than demonstrating where I've made hateful comments about someone, you say "I completely get that you think that." LMAO you are so full of shit dude. haha have a good one.

Is that a "no"?..or a "maybe later"....? I'm many things...full of shit, not really one of them. I really do know why people might confuse you for a hood wearing klansman, online, lol.

It's a "I'm not entertaining your race-baiting bullshit." And you STILL fail to demonstrate any validity behind these claims about me. What a patently insane statement. You are more disconnected from reality than I thought.

I have said NUMEROUS things in this thread about these racial thoughts Neeson had being wrong, that we need to have open honest discussions on race to combat racism, that I literally once reported a racist coworker to a boss for making racial remarks about another coworker, but none of it's enough for you because I still won't subscribe to your EXACT brand of ideological bullshit. I just won't quite give in to YOUR version of how I should think about these things, so I must be a closet racist, right? Jesus man you truly are one dumb fuck.

This type of nonsense is what makes these dicsussions harder to have. You should legitimately be ashamed of yourself. You won't take any of what I say at face value because it doesn't quite fit your narrative. However, I bet if I confided racist thoughts I have with you (I don't have racist thoughts, but once again that doesn't fit your narrative so I doubt you'll believe me), THEN you'd take it at face value, because now it fits your narrative and let's you complete the little puzzle you have in your mind that anyone who doesn't buy into YOUR idea of progressive ideals must clearly be a closet racist.

This all-or-nothing bullshit has to stop. I really hope people don't buy into your nonsense here at AF, this community is smarter than that. Get a life dude. Have fun getting your last word in; I'm done.
