The entertaining thing, to me anyway, is that you're the only person here that thinks I'm racist.
You have *said* you are a racist. Was that a lie? I see you post racist epithets and use other racially charged language with frequency. So, either you aren't a racist and just use racist language to get a cheap thrill of some kind, or you are a racist but don't actually want to own up to it.
Either way, it's pretty sad. Why use racially charged language just to get props on the internet? The things you say have meaning. Brushing off the impact of the language you choose to use is lazy. I think it was Khross that once spoke very eloquently on the difference between liberty and license. You certainly have the right to free speech, but the way you choose to exercise that right reflects on your character. If you don't actually care about that, well, that reflects on your character, too.
I've said I'm a lot of things. They're probably not all true. If you think I'm racist, then I am. I don't think I really am, so I'm not, really. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Sure, language is important. I do generally pick my words with some care for maximum impact as that's all we really have on the internet. (Well, words and pictures of lolcats. I do <3's me some lolcats.) I just like to see how little it takes for you to call me racist. Which, sometimes is shockingly little.
It entertains me at work. That's pretty much it. And it entertains me even more when you react predictably and consistently to some of the **** up things I say. Dance my puppet, dance! But to be taken in a broader context, no, I really don't think I'm racist. No more than the average person in this country at least.
I don't hate illegal immigrants because they're generally brown. I hate them because they're illegal. (Hate as a general term, but it'll do.)
I don't hate violent, thuggish black people because they're black... I hate them because they're violent and thuggish.
I don't hate the incompetent indian guy on the tech support line because he's brown, I hate him because he's incompetent.
I don't hate the president because he's black, I hate him because he's an incompetent, self-aggrandizing knob.
Unlike you, I really don't give a **** *what* color someone is. I just don't see it for the most part. Stupidity and ignorance comes in all shapes and sizes and colors. It doesn't have to be white, black, brown, or any other shade in between.
