So explain to me, why would the post be centered around the idea that people who use food stamps would riot if they weren't able to purchase grape soda? All three of the main ideas in the sentence have a stereotype that connects them, but I'm sure you already knew that. No, you're mainly replying to this because anytime the word "racist" is mentioned you take it as some sort of personal attack despite not being aimed at you which is far more ridiculous than what you're accusing my obvious conclusion of being.
why dont you just spit it out and stop with the word games. to chicken? yup

I spelled it out two posts ago.
In case you missed it:
"Am I REALLY going to have to explain to you that grape soda is a drink almost exclusively associated with black people, generally in a pejorative way?"
Except I know you didn't miss it because you quoted it.
In case you need it put in layman's terms:
black people were the obvious subject of the post.

ok starting to get some info out of you,so how is freaking grape soda exclusively associated to black people? are you for real or just trying to make fun of black people?
Grape soda (and to a lesser extent other fruit sodas) is often stereotypically associated with African-Americans, in a manner similar to watermelon and fried chicken.

What are you talking about? I'm saying it's ridiculous for you to make that assumption. I, for one, don't connect food stamps, grape soda and rioting with black people. That was you that did that.
It is funny, though, to see someone get this worked up b/c someone strung those three little phrases together.

Again, I did not say YOU did, I said the other poster did.

But YOU are the one who has taken this entire thread off topic. Also, I will stick up for people who are right. You, in this case, are wrong, so that is why I'm butting in. It was all in good fun, nothing to do with race at all, and yet here we are with the race card on the table, yet again, where it doesn't belong.
What soda pop variety do white people drink? 7Up/Sprite?
Asians -- Mr. Pibb/Dr. Pepper?
Latinos -- Root Beer?
