Russ Nelson proposes new license requirements

"Black people are lazy in that they work less hard than whites." Defend the non-racist nature of that statement, please.

If he did that, he would be playing into your own game of flagrant selective quoting. Funny, I think I heard your demand before. Oh, yes! It went like this: "do you still be your wife", or something like that.

Click on the link I gave earlier to take you to Dave Horowitz' response to Al Franken's accusation of racism and read at least the first paragraph or two for a little education. Pay attention to words like "toxic" and "witch-hunt". Unless, of course, you don't wish to be exposed. But of course, you don't have to worry about that publically, now, do you mister "bk" aka Anonymous Coward #2?

Oh, look. It's another anonymous flamer! (Of course, it might actually be the same one. Once cannot tell.)

Since when is "racist" equivalent to "silly"?

The answer to your impertinent question is, of course, "Mu": The question cannot be answered as posed on account of the whack-assed assumption on which it rests.

The rest of us, who are possessed of both a capacity for common sense and the inclination to stick to fair commentary that we're willing to actually stand behind, read the personal-blog essay (if we gave a damn) and thought "Well, I think I see what he's trying to say, but it's badly expressed and not worth spilling virtual ink over anyway."

But you're of course burdened with neither quality, and so can stop with blatant name- calling slurs and question-begging questions that insult our intelligence.

And who were you again, by the way?

If you think I'm going to "defend" anything at all, ever, to the likes of you, you're severely deluded, sir/ madam/critter. Whether you're one anonymous flamer or several, I'd rather just drop the lot of you into the same oubliette. And good riddance.

Out of context, it is indefensible. In context, I have abandoned it. What is your point? That you can quote people out of context? Congratulations, you know how to use a text editor! It's obvious that you, yourself, are a racist. Why else you would be attacking me so strongly?

p.s. I don't really think you are a racist. But I'll bet that the charge stings, doesn't it? Particularly when it's not based on any evidence, and is injust. Do you feel hurt? Angry? Now you know how I feel. Perhaps you'll think with your brain instead of your hormones next time?
