I called you ignorant because obviously you have had a sheltered life and thus, have a limited view and perspective. I called you smart because you do make valid points from time to time.

Listen, you can insult me if you'd like. I don't think you're a person to do that nor do I think it was your intention to. However, it doesn't bother me, so don't feel I was attempting to make you feel bad for stating what you did.
Hey, if you would prefer to argue this amongst yourselves, I'd be happy to leave you to it. I've made similar disclaimers in the past.
Your assertion of ignorance is correct to a degree. I don't understand what its like to be black, just as you're likely ignorant on my feelings (and of other white people) when it comes to racial discussions and the perception of a double standard. I haven't lived a sheltered life, however. Also, my viewpoint is limited, like is yours. However, I'm able to see many sides of an issue, the fact that I take a position doesn't indicate that I'm close minded. It indicates that I'm highly opinionated.
Simply because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm not considering your viewpoint. It means I like mine better.
