OCinBuffalo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 On a serious note, I actually think this is a good question. I am not a racist but I do hold at times stereotypical prejudice on race or groups of people but never act on it. Anyone who does not admit this, black or white is either lying or is the son of God Exactly. And, we ALL have our awkward moments as a result. Consider: I got the famous "nod" from another traveler on a plane recently. The nod was in reference to a possibly Arabian group of men sitting near the front of the plane. Honestly? I thought we were kinda done with the "nod". Right after 9/11, the "nod" was pervasive, to the point of ridiculousness, and, that was certainly understandable and by no means "racist". That was simply "who else can I count on if I need to fight for my life?" So the first question is: Is the "nod" a racist thing to do now? Or: Was it always racist? Or: Is it never racist?

3rdnlng Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So you are prejudiced against yourself. I see. I see you are getting your hero, Al Franken, with his awful sense of humor to write your lines for you. You might want to try a funnier writer.

Rob's House Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm not a racist because I didn't feel the need to vote for the black guy to prove that I'm one of the "good ones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm not a racist because I didn't feel the need to vote for the black guy to prove that I'm one of the "good ones" But what do you think of tapeworms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I wanna go on record to say yes...Im a racist. Everyone else is down for theirs and their own......why should *I* be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 But what do you think of tapeworms? Despite being a truly arrogant prick, you do add a lot to the discussion, and your assaults on Conner and his clone from Norfolk are often amusing. So contrary to my vote I will reluctantly concede you have more value than a tape worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So contrary to my vote I will reluctantly concede you have more value than a tape worm. First...I'm not a truly arrogant prick, I just seem like it because I'm so much better than you. Third...I don't believe I've assulted Dave in Norfolk that much, if at all (maybe twice). Second...implying conner's been cloned is an insult to conner's truly unique brand of stupid. Fourth...your time will come. No one escapes my wrath forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
