Just because one has not been burnt does not mean that everyone is happy and accepting.

Posts like this are why I gave up on asking questions here. At the least, a waste of bandwidth. The original poster, as usual, gets a dose of hatred instead of some intelligent responses.

No, it isn't.

You still refuse to acnowledge your own error. When asking a group about social trends, you do not imply their inferiority in doing so.

You are asking if Blacks are less tolerant, and therefore less accepting, than whites.

Notice the term "less"?

So, go back to my examples and realize that you are not going to get an answer to your questions when you offend people in the asking of them. No-one is forbidding you from asking them. I am only trying to make it so you can "learn" a bit more yourself.

You were trying to rationalize and give merit to your question by asking for the frequency of occurance, not the severity of the act itself.

That still does not remove the component that is insulting which is your implications that Blacks are less tolerant than Whites.

If you want me to stop dealing with you with a bit of light hearted banter and treat your comments as seriously as some would, this thread would not be a very friendly place.

"silly word games" is better than ignorant implied racism anyday.

you were being light hearted? it didnt appear that way to me. it seemed like you were saying that i didnt understand your use of "nigerian," which i did. then you figured that since i didnt understand your use that i was missing every point being made.
