America elected a black man President. Now if America doesn't re-elect him we are all racists.
Well that certainly makes sense. LOL.
Stop pretending it was you. My point, precisely. You are not America.

How do you figure you are 1/6th ANYTHING? You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great-great grandparents. You can be 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16... I don't comprehend how you could ever be 1/6th, unless there is some pretty kinky shit happening in your family tree. Which of your ancestors was white? Maybe I can help you figure this out?
Back to the argument... I don't feel the need to say the n-word, I was just curious as to whether I could, and not be considered a racist. Does it go by your actual skin color... if you look black enough, it's okay? Or is it your bloodline? And does your bloodline have to be pure? I'm just trying to get my mind around this... you claim it's not a racist and offensive word in some cases, and in other cases it is reprehensible... I'm just trying to figure out where we draw the distinctions?
As for your membership in the good ole boys club.... if you know of such a place and they won't let you join because you are black, the ACLU will be glad to take your case pro bono, as this would be a flagrant violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Also, if you know of any business or institution exercising "white privilege" this can be litigated as well. I wasn't sure you were aware of the new laws, they've only been in effect for the past 47 years.
Dammit... We all know 1/3 doesn't exist! (For those who haven't been here long this is a longstanding board joke).
I wasn't gonna go there.Honkey!
Really? Who put us in it, in the first place? Other black people? Sorry, if I don't buy that wolf ticket. Hundreds of thousands of white people...indeed, but you wouldn't have been in that number, given your postings. We all did it together? What "we"? I don't consider you an ally. There are decent white people, who see blacks as equals and as fellow Americans. And then there is you and your minions.
Uh, I minored in History. And was that claim supposed to exonerate the role whites played in the slave trade and the Middle Passage? It doesn't.
And after the slaves arrived in America...who told the slave masters to fuck the slaves and make slaves of the offspring? Africans, right? Take responsibility for something.
Who whipped the slaves? Who hung them from trees? Africans?

And I keep correcting you as to "power sharing" instead of abdication of power.
No. That would be your stereotypical view. Not mine. And oh, please. Tim Wise has several videos out on the subject, and there are numerous articles addressing the issue. That it exists, is not in question.
The major movie studios are controlled and owned by whom? Financial institutions and media outlets are owned and run by whom? Stop being stupid and maudlin.
No. Not really. I have quite a few friends here, who happen to be white...
How dare you assume or predict what I would do, in a given or hypothetical situation. Who the fuck are you?
There's that guilt factoring in, for past wrongdoings. If you were innocent, you wouldn't fear reprisal.
You had previously asked the following question:
"Really? Who put us in it, in the first place? Other black people? Sorry, if I don't buy that wolf ticket."
I responsed to the question and now you want to change the parameters of the question.
No problem. You can't answer, in the affirmative or one that would put you in a favorable light. Thank you for playing. Not so much fun when the rabbit has the gun, is it? LOL

Since you refuse to agree to my bigoted grandstanding, it means you have to be wrong and therefore I get to label you as a racist; because there is no way I can be wrong, seeing as how I'm a black gay hypocritical racist poet.

Do as I say, not as I do. And I don't have to answer your questions, but you have to answer mine....white privilege, you know.
Girl, wake up.
I wasn't gonna go there.
Girl, that is not even the word that I would use to go "there". LOL.Honkey isn't even close. I think it is funny. I do not feel threatened or put down by the word. It makes me smile, especially because it reminds me of the SNL skit with Richard Pryor!
