It's pretty reliable. There's never any shortage of people around here who are happy to find fault with black people.

Perhaps you didn't see, or should I say, chose to ignore, that several times I pointed out that many white people mispronounce the word wash as "warsh" and that is equally incorrect?

How many Black people start threads on C-D that are anti-White?

How many threads are started on a daily basis on C-D that are anti-Black (overtly or directly)?

Now, who is obsessed with "Blackness"?

How is this thread "anti-black?" I believe that black Americans are just as capable at pronouncing words properly as a person of any skin color is. Do you?

P.S. What color is the guy in the youtube video that this thread was based on?

As soon as a Black-related topic is posted on C-D all of the bigots come out of the woodwork to comment. This is a daily (multiple times daily) occurrence.

I take no issue with the "man in the video"; his intentions are benevolent. However, the intentions of many of those who are posting in this thread are not.

I hope to God you're not calling me a bigot; as an minority immigrant with a bi-racial child that is greatly offensive. I think it is very bigoted to believe that one group of people are less than capable at anything than another group solely based on their skin color. Don't you?

Is it really that offensive to be called a bigot? I personally tend to let it slide. If anything, I worry about whether I said anything hurtful, not about my own ego and identity as a "tolerant person."

Also, I'm sure you realize that being a minority does not preclude you from being a bigot.

Agreed, see Louis Farrakahn and Reverend Wright as exhibits A and B

Please highlight anywhere in my post that I referred (or insinuated) that you personally were a bigot?

Also, highlight anywhere that I have stated that Black Americans are not capable of speaking Standard American English?
