In other news I just listened to "P.Y.T" and loved it. :)

Even about what Gates was doing? Isn't that pretty significant in evaluating the overall event and how racially motivated it was?
I meant to edit out the first paragraph, which I don't agree with (but actually has some analytic thought, instead of direct-to-video posturing and platitudes, so at least it's contributing to the discussion).

I guess here's my bottom line: __________ is likely to act like an entitled, arrogant asshole when they feel disrespected and challenged without cause.

Fill in the blanks: Cop? Harvard professor? Both seem to fit well for me.

That's in my top 5 Michael Jackson songs. Behind "Dirty Diana" of course.

Gates is a professor of African Studies aka Hate Whitey 101.
Ya know, madmax's presence doesn't bother me and I appreciate different styles of communication and humor.

But most of his/her posts show that he doesn't know anything. It would be different if he had knowledge at the foundation of his off-color remarks. Then I could respect him/her as a username. :)

I'm glad you were able to QFP this before he (or a mod) deleted it. I was in the process of quoting what he said and I wasn't able to.

Hate Whitey 101? Seriously? And we all know for sure that teachers of Women's Studies courses secretly call their class Manhaters 101. :rolleyes:

Damn.. madmax seems to have gone from occasional Limbaugh copypaster to full time troll.

SydneyK 07-24-2009 01:08 PM
Geez. I think this thread has reached its trite remark limit now.

ETA: Kevin and I must've cross-posted. I'm in no way insinuating that his calling out of madmax's trollhood is a trite remark.

Have you ever attended one?

Are you in my Pandora? "Dirty Diana" just came up on the playlist.

LOL.

I am not.

But this just proves that I think we are GC twins.

It's actually starting to creep me out to some degree, LOL.

Or you could fill it in with any GreekChat poster's name.

This seems stupid though: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=8163051&page=1

It would seem like both would be eager to put the specific incident behind them. I found it admirable that Gates didn't make any noise about a false arrest suit.

Assuming the police office did stupidly sue, could he name Obama as well?

It's illegal to sue the President.

Really? I'd expect him to have immunity for most official actions, but I wouldn't think he could defame or slander with impunity.

Naw...not rearlly.

Just don't see anyone doing it and being successful. Heh!

I wonder how far citizens and groups have gotten with filing lawsuits against Presidents past and present.
