make it seem ok.

A one car accident, Moon. What do you expect to happen when your attempt at
patronizing ("... I ... have had slightly broader experience than you in
this
matter.") backfires turns out to be such an embarassment to you? You stepped
in it. At least have the humor to drop it gracefully.


> >It's not about me. It's about Bev using a really suck ass phrase.

It's about your PC Soylent Green spin on what Bev said, (It's POEPLE,
PEOPLE!) Groups of people DO share common cultural traits and are subject
to common
indoctrination. Would you go to a group of Arabs and offer them all a ham
sandwich under the notion that they were all just PEOPLE,PEOPLE (period, full
stop) and some of them would like ham sandwiches and some would not just like
everybody else?

Bev was only making the observation that a group of people, as part of their
culture, had been indoctrinated to believe that reparations of some sort were
fairly due them and the reason they never got them is because people of
another race were always in charge. It is very similar to the way libreals
have
been indoctrinated to view all the current financial and moral problems on
George Bush, so you have a reference point.

If you think that it just a matter of everyone just being PEOPLE, PEOPLE,
PEOPLE (period, full stop) then try going to a large evangelical gathering
and
take up donations for Planned Parenthood. What would be the problem, they
are
just people and some would be for it and some against it.

How dare one assume ahead of time that an Arabic person chosen at random
would be offended at the offer of a ham sandwich or that a ramdom
evangelical
fundamentalist would take umbrage at being asked to support Planned
Parenthood!

Groups of people DO have common biases and experiences and to lump them all
together as PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE (period, full stop) as if it didn't matter
is the height and depth, the zenith and nadir, the mother and father of all
bitory and suck ass-ed-ness.
