I am not trying to start drama or anything but RUGReek that whooooole statement was some serious reconceptualization of the past on your part. Were you reading the same message board that I was?

You are the one who INSISTED that standard definitions were the only ones that counted for the LONGEST time until ktsnake, librasoul22 and myself called you on it. Don't lie because everybody read it. You are the one who said that only standard definitions count. That was wrong. Anyone who has studied language or linguistics in the slightest can tell you, and I believe that we have, repeatedly.

Relax drama queen, you need not loose any patience. What exactly did anyone hear "call" me on? I discuss my points, they discuss theirs, and we reach a compromise in between. That's what a discussion is all about. How am I lying, we are trying to reach a understanding and learn from what each person says. You apparently only see what you think and get mad when others don't follow you. I don't lie, all my posts are exactly the way I wrote them, so what am I hiding? I never said "only standard definitions count" again you enjoy making simple statements out of my complicated explanations. I said, in a simple sense, this is what the definition stands for racism, discuss. I'm sorry if this discussion is offending you too much, I apologize for confusing you.

You CAN"T SAY that race is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT and at the same time BIOLOGICAL. Do you know what social construct means? do you know what calling it that means? It means that it is something defined by society and with no SCIENTIFIC (read: BIOLOGICAL basis). You can't try and PRETEND to agree with me and hold to your original and WRONG interpretation of the word.

Actually, I can say whatever I wish, you just don't have to agree with it, ok? Yes, one definition of racism is a social one, the other is biological, why is it so hard for you to accept that? Just because my definition fits how the rest of society looks at racism, don't get so upset. Just learn to accept that not everyone thinks your one-sided views are the one and only correct definitions. I think you're ego is forcing you to be close-minded.

You want to say it's biological then fine. Accept that you live in a fantasy world. Can you tell intelligence by the size of foreheads too? Sounds like perfectly sound EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SCIENCE to me.

Bad form ref. I live in the realist world, you want the idealistic. What exactly is the point of that statement, you just whining at me or trying to sound smart?

And let me just say this and get it off my chest:You obviously know NOTHING (not the word I wanted to use there, but I am trying to be SOMEWHAT polite, lol) about the black community, WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU THINK IT IS COMPRISED OF. Until you either do some serious research on the topic, or are willing to listen to other viewpoints on the matter (ha,ha) SHUT THE HELL UP AND SIT DOWN.

Hmm, ok. That's a pretty big assumption, good job. I probably know more or I may not. This isn't a pissing contest for me to show that I am almighty, but you can rant and rave all you wish, doesn't change me and what I know.

Not the most politic thing in the world to say, but I had to get it off my chest

It's alright, I'm sure others think I deserve it.

And the SCORES of people on GC who won't like what I just said can kiss my grits. Sometimes you just have to call it like you see it, even when it gets personal.

You don't need to take this personal, it really wasn't until you made it such.

I am not totally intolerant of other views, but really when you have no logical basis for them, and can't tell me anything but your personal anecdotal evidence, I lose all respect for what you post. Mad people feel the same way about you and JUST DON'T SAY IT- and I DON'T just mean black people. I will be the one to say it if I have to. I am willing to take the heat for it.

What? you got a gang now against me. Yay, preach on, I thought this is suppose to be a discussion, not a hate mongering session? Listen, stop patting yourself on the back and pay attention for sec. I'm not trying to gain any respect here, I'm trying to bring my points across. First, racism can be committed by non-white races. Point accepted and made, therefore we move on. Two, racism can be defined not only as a social construct (your view) but also as a biological one (my side). It's PERFECTLY fine with me that you do not like nor wish to accept my side, but it's very sad to me that you can't even ACKNOWLEDGE it. Why, does closing your eyes and saying "I'm invisible" make it so? Open your eyes, and then eventually your mind will follow.

Oh, and to all those GCers out there, I'm sorry but that had to be said, so you can kiss her grits some more if it pleases you. I'm from the north east, we don't have grits here, sorry.

Bring it.

How old are you, 16? No, wait, I do know this one "It's already been broughten ." Here I got one too:

"Whateva whateva, I do what I want!"
