I do take it that way.

Still though, I'm not just gonna leave it at that. I can't...not even if I tried.

Racist/ Nazi, is probaly the most offensive slur to a white person
Because we've got better things to do with our time.
Earning a living, raising our kids, family activities.
Be nice if certain other races could get with the program.

If they've resulted to name calling then they've already lost.

You've not seen me in a confrontation, except maybe online when all you use are words...DUH! The fact that you were a "door man" speaks volumes like someone who was bullied becomes a cop. Payback time??? Generalize and stereotype much? Most small minded people do... fact is the reason why I was successful at it and usually in chrage of who gets in was the fact that I maintained my cool when most couldn't...hardly a trait of someone insecure!

But in any case, you missed my point entirely and took off on your own rabbit trail. Whites, many of them, are taught at an early age to be feminized and the idea of manhood and masculinity are severely lacking.Generalize much? RACIST! And my dad did teach me that when confronted, punch for the nose with no preliminaries and hopefully stun the fool. Then you pound and pound until he is a bleeding mess. Someones WORDS can make most unintelligent people react physically...faster if they're insecure as well...got sumthin'to PROOOOOVE MAN! You are unlikely to get a KO, I'll bet you are unlikely! but the idea is to beat him senseless while hopefully taking little punishment yourself and retaining your dignity as a man in front of your wife or girlfriend. Got sumthin' to PROOOVE? Naturally, the best way is to avoid a problem with commonsense, Oh...Yah THINK? but there comes a time when that doesn't work and the bully shows up.

Using my dad's advice, I hit a bigger kid with a brick So you felt inadequate at an early age and resorted to weapons...I SEE... in elementary school given his propensity for picking on me. Luckily I did not kill him but I got sent to the principals office and had to write on the board a 100 times "I will not....". Of course today, the cops would come and arrest a kid. We love this government indoctrination of having our problems solved by someone else. Often it just doesn't work that way.

My dad was an amateur boxer.
...Sounds like he was an amateur dad as well...

I'm sorry for you, but as an adult, it's your responsibility to grow up!

I can easily make an insecure, stupid person cross the line by merely using WORDS...when they cross that line, their @ss is mine!

Not allowing yourself to be provoked is not about being manly, tough or proud...actually someone seeking to prove they HAVE those things is showing how weak and insecure they are! Not allowing yourself to be provoked shows character, class and DIGNITY.
I agree

In some places the term "cracker' has a different meaning. It's short for coal cracker, and there's certainly no shame in that

I'm white (Italian-American to be exact) and I'm not offended by those terms at all. I usually laugh, and say yeah whatever, when people call me any of those names.
