And there you have it.

That's not what he's saying. The point is that this is NOT a situation in which a reciprocal understanding would be tolerated; note that this is similar to what I pointed to in your statements (which I assumed to be your ideas, because they were in YOUR editorializing, and not in the original article).

But YOU can't dictate whether or not someone can understand. You have no say in the opinions of others. Its ok if you state that YOU couldn't understand, but you can't force your opinion on anyone else.

Who hates it when girls are whistled at by guys?

I know lots of girls do. You emphatize based on the "broad" female experience I guess.

Now is your chance to talk about how much you hate it by going into this thread and doing just that:

:) Ok - I see. We just have different views. I think most situations call for some level of understanding along with appropriate disdain and then punishment. For me, though, some situations hit home a little more so I feel them a little deeper. It's just a difference of opinion, no worries.

As far as my editorializing - I must not have made it clear enough. I originally saw the news show on the guy and that's where the majority of my comments came from. I only posted the tiny article piece to give everyone more concrete evidence of the event.

I think you'd have to change it to "who hates it when White girls are whistled at by Black guys".

Why? Both are true. Either one is a reasoning though so hey people are free to post in that thread about how they hate girls being whistled at, white or not.

But in that particular case race played a huge role.

So did sex probably. Either way, I'm sure that a woman that dislikes being whistled at, disliked the act regardless of race as well.

All race debate aside, I don't really get the reasoning. White people have to die . . . but only if they're living "the typical white lifestyle"? His quote implies that if a person is white but living "a black lifestyle" or "an Asian lifestyle" or "a racially mixed lifestyle," they don't have to die. What if it's a person of color living a white lifestyle? Do they die too?


Let's make a list of what a typical white lifestyle includes, because I seriously want to know.

I honestly think only he has an idea of what that means.

Some people see where he's coming from though so maybe they know.

Preciousjeni and Jubilance. You also quoted jubilance earlier and said "And there you have it" so maybe you do too?
