That's just it. If you're making an argument about basic human decency, then race is not a relevant factor. Unless of course you are implying that race is a relevant factor because black male=violence against white females.
I never called you a racist. I said some of your statements were racist. You are implying that it is inevitable that black males must treat white females violently by linking the original story about the false attack with the story about your daughter being verbally disrespected. You never said those actual words, I'll grant you that. However, any intelligent person can see that's precisely what you were implying. It's that old blood libel that's been used against black men for centuries: if white men aren't careful, black men will inevitably "defile the flower of caucasion womanhood." Gotta love racist code speak!
It always is what it is. Reality rules. I don't think your interpretation of reality in this particular instance is accurate though.
Like I said before, if you'd left it at that, then I'd agree with you. You didn't leave it at that. You made sure we all knew that these kids and their parents are black. You felt that their race was important for us to know. And within the context of this thread, it's pretty clear why you felt we needed to know their race. |
I never considered the OLD black male going after the white women thing, it just happens to be what I was saying about my neighborhood and the kid is about 10, not hardly the stereotype you mentioned. I assure you it was a coincidence.
