I'm still waiting on Ronedee to address this point, but since she/he has had multiple opportunities and ignored each of them I'm not holding my breath.

A stereotype? I don't think that image represents all blacks. And I think they would agree.

I'm italian. But that doesn't mean I would cut you up into little pieces like the mafia! And I don't think I would want you talking about my heritage in that way.... because I'm not proud of that image! And wish to transcend it.

You are catholic, in your case that appearently does mean you are deluded, self-righteous, superstitious, willing to be led by the nose by the most disreputable sort, and oh, yeah, supportive of a criminal rackettering organization that extorted and defrauded over its lamentable history many orders of magnitude more than the world's mafia combined, and killed enough to make the most hardened mafioso blanche, and still delights in cutting the rectums of boys into little pieces. you are showing no sign of ever being able to transcend it.

Oh, yeah, I too call a stupid, ignorant, superstitious, conceited, gullible, cunt a stupid, ignorant, superstitious, conceited, gullible cunt, even if you quibble like a bitch.

Then you should have specified that you were referring to your neighborhood where you grew up. Appealing to the stereotype as your justification for your statement made it seem like you were being racist.

The thing is that Ronnie wanted to associate us (like he said "you people"), with racists for some spurius reason (hell, mabe that could make his god real Hilarious ), but ended up showing his true colours and revealing that the racist is him.

I think you mean that this wouldn't be an issue if certain people understood the difference between racism and an accurate anecdote.

I think I will show this thread to a few of my black coworkers today. One is a good friend.

But, I won't say anything. I'll print out the op, and hand it to them asking for an opinion.

Right, because a few black people speak for all of them.

Be sure to print out the entire original post, and not just what you deem relevant. We know how cherry picking is your favorite past-time, after all.
