Well, if appears tha Al Sharpton is having a hard time making the payments on his 2001 GMC Suburban, according to the repo man who is looking for it...Al Sharpton's last payment was submitted four months ago, with a bad check on a closed account...
Isn't this guy running for President in 2004??? Isn't he also on video purchasing a rather large quantity of cocainE a few years back......from the FBI???
But if you don't vote for him, then you are obviously a racist...
No particular effect on me, but it isn't anything I'd say around my black friends... (or otherwise, probably). The ethnicity of people doesn't bother me, what bothers me are people who are intellectually ignorant (many of those in the ghetto or trailer park and many religious people) or intellectually dishonest (many liberals).
I dated this black chick once (I still miss her) and I used to get a kick out of when she would call me a cracker-ass honkey. But then again, I've never felt opressed because of my color, so it's easy for me to laugh. I never could feel right being the same way with her.
I guess I'm just agreeing with what slaughter said. If this board was mostly black guys and someone said "stupid whitie" or "stupid lightie" I'd probably be kinda pissed even if I didn't feel it was worthy of starting something over... maybe other people feel slighted but they just don't want to start something over it?
To put it another way, the only people I've ever seen get away with being ignorant (or joking about being ignorant) were people so schleppy that they didn't need to care what people thought of 'em. I could wear a shirt that says 'fuck your mother asshole!', but would I wear it at work? If not, why should I wear it around my friends? Shouldn't I be sensitive enough to know that something may offend and stop the thought process before it goes from the brain to the mouth?
You got to understand, I dislike damn near everyone. It's not the skin color, it's the attitude. One of my best friends since birth is black. You ask him about how he feels about these assclowns in the rap videos and such. He raggs on them MORE than anyone else I know. He absolutely hates that shit.
Also, location. If you have never had the privilage of living in the south, home of the southern black (and redneck/white trash mind you) then you have no idea. Do I hate all blacks? No way. I could care less if Trey is black and smoke is gay, it's all good in my book. People start off worthless in my eyes, and they usually have to claw their way up the ladder [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
So, in closing... you can be an assclown if your black (al sharpton, rev. jackson) or if your white (martha stuart, ross perot,father of that girl out in SLC) or just about any other fucking color out there.
I'm Scottish... so therefor i'm not an assclown. I just wear skirts and get drunk all the time [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

PS. What ever happened to Rev. Jacksons bastard children?
I dated this black chick once (I still miss her) and I used to get a kick out of when she would call me a cracker-ass honkey.
I guess she didn't know you well enough to call you a sheep humping mofo like all of the degenerates here do!!! [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
