This is very common, when you focus on artificial distinctions, rather than the only one which matters.

a) The Man.

b) Us Niggers.

And if you're not The Man, to them, you are just another nigger.

The mistake was made by many, but I am loathe to call it racism. If you were to poll 100 white guys, 100 black guys, 100 latino guys, and 100 asian guys, between the ages of 15 and 25, and asked them if they liked Tupac, which category would you get a higher percentage saying yes to?

Hell I like Tupac, Dear Momma is one of my favs.

An assumption was made upon immediate data, without further research (looking at Domiguys profile), that does not automatically equal racism.

you know what eru i said it was racist to assume someone's race based off an avatar that features the picture of a black man. its an avatar last time i checked our avatars were things we liked or loved.

you know i already made my point and stance on what i said clear. You make racial assumptions and call some one a darkei or blackie without knowing who you are stricking at makes it nothing but racist hate speech. If he had said it to me iwould have been yeah and ur point it? insult someone all you want have your facts straight though. if i had called him a white suprremist bastard would i be right or wrong? Can I base that off just what he said? No why? because i don't make assumptions on people by just what they say and post.

Seriously...attacking someone based on looks is nothing to crow about, regardless of how well showcased one's grammar and spelling skills are.

Making an assumption based upon racial lines is not automatically racism. That was one of the points that shithead got lost among his other crap. People make judgements based upon available data sometimes, sometimes they do not do enough research, it does not automatically mean they are racist. I will say that other comments that he has made, leads me to believe that he is extremely biased along racial lines. See this is different than racism. He seems to be very bigoted towards everyone, again I recommend checking the defintion for the words I use. I am not defending his actions in the least, I am just stating there is a misnomer occuring and attemtping to correct it.

Well, I, for one, am glad that anybody beating their child is putting themselves out for judicial retribution. In those times you so much long for, children didn't carry guns to school, but they would grow up to beat each other up, to beat their siblings up, and eventually, their own offsprings.

As for street violence, I shudder when I think of the American Wild West, or indeed, Victorian London.

I don't call that a good thing.
