I'll be forever impressed with the "small town" love that Tucson showed Gabby and the other victims.

Get real. You're not even close to speaking of reality or human nature. You're just too afraid to admit it for fear of someone calling you a racist. I don't have that fear. It doesn't rattle me in the slightest. Being forthright is a strongpoint.
I haven't said or done anything that would prompt anyone to call me a racist. And I am not "black people" or "Hispanic people." I am an individual, no more, no less.

I do make observations about white people, and black people, and Asian people, and other types of people, that I dislike. But I don't say I dislike white, or Asian, or other, people. I say I dislike George, or John, or Alfredo, or Jane, and I dislike them for what they have said or done, not who their ancestors are. That's the difference in a nutshell. Your reality is obviously different from mine - in many aspects.

Well well well....if it isn't Mr. I'll Call Anyone I Disagree With A Racist himself! I knew you would show up.....you never miss an opportunity to drag out your favorite word!

(By the way, that's another observation of mine. Do I need to prove it by dredging up your post history?)

Seems like safe assumption to make since that's your only defense and no other logical argument as eeked its way into your posts.
Come on, don't be lazy, dust off that dictionary.

The principle of human acceptance; 1/3 of the people you meet will like you, 1/3 of the people you meet will hate you and the other 1/3 will feel indifferent towards you. Get it?

Don't you feel better for getting that off your chest? At least you're being honest.....which is more than can be said about your liberal brethren on this forum. But you should know that you are now considered a racist in their eyes. They've made that clear on this thread. Are you a racist Lucario? Me either.

Nowhere did I say I didn't like black people. NEVER have I said that to anyone, anywhere in my lifetime. So the rest of your post is irrelevant.

I don't do that for the person, I do it for myself, because I was raised to be polite regardless. If they don't accept it, fine... though I have only rarely had a person try to take advantage of my politeness (thinking I was weak because I was polite) and it usually ended with me being polite in helping them back up from the floor. /shrug

Nah.......half the people I meet like me, a third are indifferent and the rest hate me.

Yes, I honestly said I dislike some people of all ethnicities. I don't blindly dislike entire ethnic groups.

If you want to talk about observations, every thread you start, it always about hating on minorities and poor people. If you want to hate on blacks be my guest, but i'm just calling it like i see it.
