Jesus Christ people!!!
Enough! I hate this!
If I leave will this stop?



You want to applaud her bigotry, have at it, but quit tearing me down to
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.
