What's sad about these people is that they think they are doing something noble. Probably have never actually had any black friends, their only interaction seems to be the social worker/client relationship. Well I do have black friends, not middle class, either, but working class, and they are appalled by the rampant criminality and irresponsibility that all but defines the inner city crowd.

sorry, old fellow, you're just gonna have to put up with my lack of "societal graces", as defined by the redneck cabal.
That's a nice justifier.
Now define "Redneck" cabal.
The 3 or 4 people who actually behave as racists, or is that anyone who does not agree with your narrowminded insular microencephalic viewpoint?
I hate to tell you this bucko, but there are blacks who are just as irrational and racist as any klansman. I've met the type and dealt with them. Met one just yesterday as a matter of fact. A black woman with an MBA who regards virtually any comment from any white person as a personal affront.
Irrationality is not confined to a few "Crackers". (Oh, by the way - free blacks owned slaves in the Old South too.)

The muddled thinking that thinks violent thugs should be taken to task regardless of the color of their skin. What the hell was I thinking?

would you like to explain the logic behind the old man's contention that, since i dont hate blacks, i hate myself?
I can't speak for anyone, it was you that chose to lump me in with everyone you disagree with.

you guys try all these feeble little rationales to justify the obvious fact that (1) your logic is haywire, and (2) you're frustrated by the success of a person that you hate because of the color of his skin.
hate is hate, and no matter what color the hater is, it's destuctive.
I agree, and I work very hard to hate no one - not even that vile piece of filth in the White House.
However, I also believe in calling a spade "a spade", and the reality is that inner city black america is illiterate, self destructive, and seething with hatred and resentment. Not that they have no reason to be upset, but that it is never OK to hate.

Bashing ATM customers on the head is a sign of success? Maybe you should examine your own logic.

in other words, you cant explain the old man's logic.
I learned long ago not to get into arguments about what was in other peoples heads. Damned shame you seemed destined to keep trying.

that's why you're defending the racist patriarch of 4um.
I see, you're not just plain stupid, you've been taught stupid.

or would you rather we let this doofus logic prevail on this forum?
Myself, I'd gank your account and start faking confessions from you about cannibalism, but that's not Christine's style.

you cant answer the question, so you gots to call me names.
You were asking me to justify what someone else posted. Ever heard the term "Guilt By Association"?

Why are you arguing with me about what Cynicom posted?

what we need here, i guess, is an estimation from you of cynicom's mental ability...
you dont seem to see any need to point out his logical inconsistencies, so i guess readers will be excused for assuming you think hatred based on race is okay.
i dont really see what other conclusion readers can come to.
so i guess readers will be excused for assuming you think hatred based on race is okay.
Yes, you caught me. I actually hate my black friends, and only hang out with them because I'm taking notes to eventually be turned over to Cynicom so he can put all our dope-smoking asses in jail. Feel better?

since i have not joined the redneck cabal in bashing blacks on the slightest pretext,
Is everyone who dislikes thugs that bash ATM customers on the head a redneck, in your estimation?

Interesting how you ignore the negro criminal but attack the whites who come to the victim's defense. This, my aged old fool, qualifies you for the white guilter of the day award. Report to the nest for delivery.
why are you so reluctant to point out the illogic of cynicom's position, that position being: since i dont hate blacks, i hate myself?
Because you lack the ability to differentiate between hating blacks and hating thugs. You apparently equate blacks with thugs and will defend the latter to the great detriment of the former.

i say again: any of you people who, after repeated urging to do so, refuse to acknowledge the illogic inherent in cynicom's "white guilt" argument is on shaky ground.
Does it occur to anyone here that we are being distracted from something..
The story has sensatioanlistic overtones..
What are we not supposed to see?
Excellent point.

I do believe the "Mother Ship" is calling. Can't you hear it?

It is time for me to address the issue of "free speech" on Freedom4um. My free speech means that I have 100% control over what I say and everyone else has 0% control over what I say. Now, I understand that there are consequences to exercising my right to free speech, but I still retain 100% control.
Free speech means that I have a right to express or spew thoughts and words of preference, love, hate, or anything with which another may disagree. That said, the rules or policies of this forum, which is my private property (see this forum's Mission Statement), are that members can exercise free speech as long as they (1) do not make a specific threat against an identifiable person or target, (2) earnestly debate or discuss the relevant issues that are part and parcel of this forum's reason-to-be. Let me remind you that these are rules for this forum and, as such, do not necessarily apply off of this forum, as public laws should, in most cases, be even less restrictive than private property rules and regulations.
Again, free speech on this forum means that people can express their love or hatred for anyone, any group, any race, any culture, or any thing, as long as they adhere to the two contingencies listed above. Everyone else on this forum is similarly at liberty to exercise their free speech right to challenge, debate, argue, or agree with the ideas and speech of another.
We will not censor speech as we abhor political correctness and authoritarianism as well as those thought-control and speech-control tyrants who would restrict another's speech. Any limitation on thought and speech constitutes the first level of the destruction of all remaining rights. Afterall, the framers of the Constitution believed that free speech was the most fundamental right to be protected which was the reason that they placed it FIRST in the Bill of Rights.
I do not say this lightly, but anyone who cannot handle the content of another's speech may not be suitable for this forum. Such a person may be better suited for a forum whose moderators control and steer the forum's ideas and speech in a given direction.
Many people have no concept of what Free Speech and Freedom really mean. Do you?
