LOL at the last part!

Me either, although that's how your liberal friends have tried to frame this discussion. Do you see now how flimsy liberal ideology is? You and I agree for once, that obeservations are made and are apart of human nature, but yet your own ideological cohorts don't see anything other than racism. Isn't it funny how that works? Maybe one day you'll abandon liberalism and find something more reasonable to adopt.

You have your observations, I have mine. The difference here is that my observations are rooted in experience, and yours are not. Your perception that all my threads are about minority-hating is laughable.

You just started a thread about how you don't hold the door open for black women, yet my perception about your minority-hating threads are laughable.

That's true to a lesser extent on this forum.

You can be a nice as you want to some people here .... and as soon as you say something negative about Obama .... your going to get the name calling started.

I can think of a few of these vile people right off the bat.

Case Study #1 In How Nighttrain55 Doesn't Remember What He Reads:

1) I didnt' start this thread.

2) This thread is about respect, not about racism, although that's all you and your liberal cohorts care to talk about. It's your only defense because it bothers all of you that you're not brave enough to speak of observations that you believe will make others uncomfortable. I don't fit in that category. I don't care how many feelings are hurt.

Do you mean to say that the black women were racists, for not complimenting a non-black man for holding open the door for them?

Maybe it's the town. Your in DC?, which can be very segregated. Or maybe the OP has a "I'm gonna rip your head off" look on his face. Do the women look scared?

I'm a door openin son of a gun and I would say 95% of all woman are nothing but gracious. I am out west though. I'm not sure what the ratio is between Black, White and other women, but the few times that I haven't heard a thanks was from girls College age or younger.
