Funny -- I was thinking a very similar phrase :rolleyes:

This thrust of this thread shows the lack of progress that has been made -- sad.

Some of us get it DS -- it's just that we weren't all talking about the same thing.

I'm not so sure it's completely the lack of progress (although thst may be part of it) as much as lack of clear communication. I guess I'm the one who started this tangent by responding to a specific question. I wasn't trying to excuse anything or minimize anything, just answering a specific question. Since then, it's obvious to me that people are talking past each other. People are talking about different things but arguing as though they're talking about the same things.

The progress can't happen without the communication.

Why the hell didn't you people tell me we were having a race war????

I've been waiting for this all year!

LOL! I thought of you a couple pages ago but I've been lurking on this thread, so I didn't call you over.

I appreciate your perspective, but I stand behind my original assertion. The lack of progress is real -- I live it every day -- and much of this dialogue demonstrates it. That being said, some get it :rolleyes:

I was just checking fivethirtyeight.com and read this article after having just caught up on the posts here. I felt like I had to come back and link it because of the mentions about racial comments coming up in the normal course of the campaign volunteers' days. The posts mentioning the "progress" we've made ran through my head: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/...-virginia.html

No, I said your misplaced outrage is foolish. And I'm pretty sure I've called you a moron on here a number of times, so I apologize for letting myself get sucked into arguing with your inane, off-topic responses again.

Anyways, I still think you two are arguing a point no one is making, but if it makes you feel like a little Jesse Jackson standing up for the black folks, have at it.

And Phrozen, I totally forgot, you're only allowed to "know" things directly related to your own race. Thanks for setting me straight on that.

Whatever, dude
 

Why are you getting upset to the point of cursing and name calling? We obviously don't (and will never) agree on this topic, but that's no reason to lose your temper like you did. All you succeeded in doing is giving me my first HEARTY laugh of the day. Thank you. I mean that from the bottom of my facetious little heart. :D

Whatever point you were trying to make, my ability to hear it and take you seriously, was lost. I do not agree with you, and I will never agree with you on this topic. Big deal. It's not like we actually matter to each other, anyway (other than if you were drowning I'd try my best to rescue you type of thing - on my part, anyway). :rolleyes:

At any rate, we need to stop posting to each other about this topic. It's obvious neither of us are going to budge, and to continue will only waste time and energy, and I don't like wasting my time or energy. So, enjoy your weekend.

As much as I am gonna hate to say this...I am gonna do it anyways....

I really, truly hate it when some whites refer back to Jesse Jackson as if he is The Spokesperson for All of Black America....name dropping him like that is going to shut us up....

Clue: Jesse Jackson does NOT speak for ALL of us...and I hate it even more because some whites REALLY have no frame of reference to find out of the many of the 1000's of OTHER Blacks who are just as capable and in MANY ways more legitimate than Jesse....please do not allow such foolishness come up out of mouth and God forbid...don't do that if you are face to face in a debate with us...it simply destroys your credibility....just like losing your temper did.

Now, you know you're wasting your time.

hey...I just had to get it out there.....any ol' ways back to Morgan State Football!!

Screw schools I've never heard of, haha. Florida whooped ass, Georgia looks great, I can't wait till next week (and I'm wasted, haha). And on top of that Texas looks real good too.

And hint hint, I make obnoxious points like comparing you to JJ when I'm trying to be as obnoxious as you are by implying that I'm racist for pointing out that you're "answering" a point no one is making. Most whites realize that very few people who don't belong to Rainbow/Push listen to ol' Jesse or Al either.

Anyways, great college football, great drinks, who cares about this, lets cheer up and get even more drunk!

It needed to be said. Thank you.

What does it matter if these ancestors are probably dead anyways? Seriously? I may have had family in the mafia way way back. Does that affect me today? No. So why does it matter if McCain acknowledges or if it was confirmed that Obama's mother's family owned slaves?
