Quite frankly, you can tell where someone's head is by what they write on a message board. All I'm saying is that some of the responses do indicate a certain level of prejudice or bias or racism.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Every thread deepimpact gets involved in seems to have numerous posts in a very short period of time (usually analyzing how she responds to people), and other posters always beat me to the punch. I mean, two full pages before lunchtime... that's impressive.

But anyway, in reference to what I have made bold in the original quote... You talk about "typical" responses from people regarding situations that appear to be racist, in which posters immediately discount the black person's claims. I'm sorry, but I don't call out "racism!" like you have in your previous posts when it comes to a situation like this Gates case, which has crossed so far into the gray area of speculation, hearsay and half-truths, that no one truly knows what happened. It's kind of like that whole innocent until proven guilty thing.

And do you find yourself constantly on the side of the black people (in addition to constantly calling people on this board racist?) I think that would make you a judgmental racist, also! Welcome to the club.

You lost me here. She can be judgmental and prejudiced but her instantly siding with Blacks on such issues would not make her racist.

She implied that all people who side against blacks in situations that could possibly include racism are racists. Therefore, if she always sides with blacks, she must be racist, also.

I know this isn't the case. Just trying to make a point for deepimpact... which she probably won't understand and/or listen to anyway. I know, because I have her all figured out and already know what her response will be..........
