Since you are not a person of color why would YOU be offended if it was not directed at you? I could have said "all black people" but that would inaccurate and just wrong since all blacks do not reside in the ghetto. Just for the sake of arguement, I said people of color since this debate was focused around the remark towards the POTUS as being a "ghetto goon" since the is a president being a person of color.

Why that you are the only person that made a feeble attempt to mock my previous statement for reasons unknown by anyone but yourself, find the amount thought behind it rather childish.

Urban Dictionary: ghetto goon

Tell me what part of this definition means BLACK?

I think that was the point, the term was directed towards the POTUS which BTW is a man of color

See, many rappers do fit the description Many of them grew up in the "hood" and many of them are goons i.e thugs (lil wayne comes to mind) but there ia no way that you can compare that to the POTUS

No more racist than calling the previous president "trailer trash". Take that how you will...

So if someone said the president was an ahole, then calling anyone an ahole suddenly is a racist term because it was directed towards the president?

Because the term itself has racial connotations?

The ONLY way it has a racial connotation is if you think ONLY black people do these things.. Thats ridiculous.

Since you really can't tell what is racially offensive and what is not may I suggest that you limit your conversations to people with your similiar ethnic,racial and economic background.

You can keep putting up that definition all you want, we all know what he meant and he has said many other racist comments about the President. Even BS chose to just leave the thread rather than admit he was caught in all his racial stuff. Why are you here so adamantly defended his racist beliefs.
