You see post history as you want... I see it differently.... http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4322857 I fail to see how your example (which deals with sexism, not racism) disproves my point that Fargle, despite his outlandish rhetoric, is anti-racist (and anti-sexist for that matter). I think that people who constantly make things about race, whether they are or not, are racists. I don't think I'm alone in that here. This isn't a racial case.In never was.never should have been seen as such. The jury sure didn't: "While the George Zimmerman second-degree murder trial was viewed as racially charged, an anonymous juror told CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday night that the issue of race didn't come up during deliberations. "I thought all of us did not think race played a role" in 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's death, a juror known as B37 told Cooper" But a certain embedded element with the media and here seem to be obsessed with race (In fargles case,lynching) and have done everything within their power to make this a racial case. Which is bizarre,because as has been beaten to death,Z is half latin,maybe has a black grandma-how white folk got dragged into this is beyond me... I think that there is still this law on the books in Cali that a woman is prohibited from wearing her bathrobe while driving a car. You keep making all this Hullabaloo about the law, and how the jury upheld the law in place as it is, at this moment. If you know anything of history, anything at all, then you might be acquainted with the instance of the law and actual justice only having coincidental coincidence at various points throughout history. Even at this time. "Law" is the most permeable of things in a society. Considering a verifiably mentally unastable armed nut case's shooting of a teenager as this same society's intended implementation of "justice" is another matter entirely. Errr,I see this through a legal perspective because it's, you know, a criminal case. In fact,my main interest in it at this point is because I'm watching the justice system be subverted in a way that's incredible. Worse, no one seems to have a problem with it.Instead, they're willing to essentially suspend due process, trial by jury, double jeopardy, sharing evidence with the defense and a whole lot of other vital civil liberties in order to hand their man, facts to the contrary be damned. As an American citizen, that interests me greatly. As I think it should all of us. And where does the verifiable mental unstable come from? If Z had been nuts, the prosecution would have driven it home 100,000 times. Instead, they uttered not a peep, nor has any news agency, even with their wild mudslinging, suggested it. The fact that they didn't even bring it up suggests strongly that your implications are, how to pout this kindly, wandering rather far afield of the truth. One of the nice things about the legal system is they like to deal with fact, not wild unbased innuendo. quote:
But you know perfectly well that Fargle was being sarcastic and using black and white as synonyms for inferior and superior because that is how racists tend to think. Which, according to your theory that we are all racists (one with which I pretty much agree,purely BTW) means that we all think that way,including you. This sweeping generalization, man, it's painting with too broad a brush. It lessens your argument. And defending fargle is a pipedream, the man is full scale looney tunes. It's like trying to defend Manson's sanity at a board hearing-just a truly hopeless cause :-) Its funny. I think republicans are almost always on the side of truth and justice. Abolution of slavery - check Martin Luther King - check Greater % voted for the various civil rights in th 60's - check Fair trials for everyone, black, brown, white, chartreuse - check.
