Sorry, I believe I asked first. I'll restate: Do you think that making an argument that hinges on ignoring the subject's historical background makes you look clever?

Refering an black American as a monkey (it their face) can pretty assure a beat down in most cases. Calling him/her something else insulting may get a different response. The point that you are trying to make is weak at least and at most down right insulting to the average person's intelligence

Why would I do that? They're probably nice guys and not bumbling idiots like Obama.

Didn't think you'd have the nerve to find out. Just curious, does your same rule apply to Cain, West, Thomas?

I don't do things intentionally to tick people off. Plus, even if I wanted to, I could just shoot them dead if they tried anything and easily get off with self-defense.

Of course it applies. Once people stop b**ching about the monkey remark with Obama, I'll stop calling people racists who use it on Newt, Cain, etc.

So you come online to post it but you wouldn' pose that questionto to a a Black fraternity, at least not in person? Why the double standard in the real world versus the cyber world?

And then you go on to contradict yourself or resort to double standards, again.

That's not only wrong, it's downright stupid. Talk about failure to launch of outrage
That would mean we get to call Axelrod a house whitey?
