Another cornerstone in building race relations in this country. The way things are going, the next civil war will make the first one look like a tea party at the Waldorf.

And rightfully so. That would be called 'Racism'. There is no equivalence to calling a police officer a 'Pig' with calling a black person a 'Monkey'.

Racism is usually displayed by the less thoughtful of us.

So the Civil War was about race? If you talk to some Confederate flag wavers they'd disagree.

Where did I say that? I implied that if another civil war was to breakout, it would be about race. Perhaps there is a Sesame Street forum you can join. You know, one that may match your comprehension level.

That deserves going to the head of the roster. Brilliant. A monkey wouldn't fill the serving tray but a baboon or better yet, a gorilla, that would work better and be mre representative of his size. As I recall, he was a bigin.

Really good burn, how long did it take you to come up with that pathetic "Sesame Street" zinger?

Anyways, your statement did imply the civil war was about race. The sentence prior to mentioning your idiotic and hypothetical next civil war was specifically about race relations. And if it wasn't your intent, you have a very poor grasps on sentence structure, syntax and history.

"Another cornerstone in building race relations in this country. The way things are going, the next civil war will make the first one look like a tea party at the Waldorf." <---- even an individual with a low-comprehension level (such as yourself) should understand that this idiotic notion implies that the first civil was about race and that another in ensuing.

I don't want to hear anything about Ferguson, Baltimore or anywhere else where this political mess is going on. Let them go jump in the lake. God bless all law enforcement officers!
