I think the difference between the two of us is that I understand where you are coming from. I really do, and I think you and others who hold the attitudes you do are only holding yourself down. I also think that you think I don’t know where you are coming from, and because of that, you are misunderstanding my viewpoints. You are projecting your own image of me, one that suits your views, so that I stop being an understanding caring but logical and thoughtful person, and instead I becomne an insensitive, white, asshole who is continuing the racial inequalities in our society by my lack of caring and understanding.

Not trying to continue a “debate”…BUT nothing I have stated in this thread has given root to the many assumptions you make about me in this post. What exact attitude do I have that is holding me down? Yet I’m the one accused of projecting my own image of you.
Anyways,I only pointed out that you jumped the gun in being critical of those who recognize the OBVIOUS racial(and derogatory) connotations of the word “wigger.” Those pointing this OBVIOUS fact out are read by you as being sensitive “race police” and emotional and angry. You did this,yet you recognize how that word can offend.
Maybe you’re the hyper-sensitive person…as I don’t know what else can explain your accusations and assumptions. But that doesn’t get me all upset enough to paint you in a negative light…as you ASSUME. I am capable of disagreeing with people without having to hate them…you should know this.
But maybe we are misreading each other because you came into this thread so focused on the not-so-obvious context of humor with the word…while I was addressing the obvious specifics of the word itself.
LOL. It will happen again just like the other poster who insisted you were angry. I truly think some of these people simply can not get over their own ingrained stereotypes. No black person can raise an issue about blatantly racist actions without being labeled not only “hyper sensitive” but apparently pathologically angry most of the time…but again, they don’t even see that they do this.[/quote]
Didn’t I just apologise and say I did see that I did this? They? Who is they? Who is grouping and stereotyping now?
