Are people still angry about that? Gee, I was only kidding hehehe, had no idea this would happen.
I doubt anyone is actually angry - well... maybe KTH... but you didn't start any of this anyway - sure you made a couple of *points elbows at LJCoffee* and a few "some" people remarks but none of that's any big deal - there are some truly sarcastic people in here so I thought it fit well... Banter is great.
I talk like that all the time, but not in public, just to my friends.
And so do I, and I looked at KTH's posts and profile and he does too - but not nearly as much as when he came in here - He turned it up as soon as he "walked in the door" and the only reason that I could see at the time would have been to try to make himself appear more gangster to impress us... I guess... hell I don't know...
Anyways, yes, I leaned on a few points and exaggerated others - damn near to the point of absurdity - just to be an asshole...
And it does sound a bit racist to call someone a gangster and holding their nuts or
whatever that was about just because they like to use short cuts while typing.
OK - I can see where it could come off that way - but really my point was that it was stupid - and by acting and talking like that he's only reinforcing negative stereotypes. I currently live down in Florida and I get just as annoyed by the hillbilly good 'ol boys down here that do the same thing - they act like retards and then because of their actions people see me, see that I'm generally white and assume that I'm a roadkill eatin' , coon huntin' cross-burnin' asshole too...
Sorry if I added to the flame, and I'm definately not racist. Especially to blacks, because I am black.
And being black and considering that your chess team took second place at state, I imagine that you can sort of see what I was saying up there... given the current situation in the world we are usually stuck with dealing with the consequences of the actions of others that share a similar skin tone...
Either way - no wuckin' furries mate - I'm not a racist either - I'm just a shithead that sometimes pushes things way out of proportion just to be... well... just to be a dick I guess...
