![]() "Dudley Henriques" dhenriques@noware .net wrote in message ink.net... I think you might be reading in racist coupling in Jay's dialog by "reading triggers" that you personally associate with racist dialog where no racist connotation or inflection was present. I'm extremely sensitive to "reading" between the lines on Usenet and I can find no racist inflection at all in what Jay has said.

Being one of the more "logic oriented" thinkers in this world, and placing great value on the scientific mind, my probable reaction to looking over the edge of that cliff would be, "You know.......I think I'll do some additional research on this gravity thing before exploring this next data point requiring my leaping off here. I have a funny feeling that Newton guy back at the lab just might be near a breakthrough on this.......and besides, my wife wants that solution on Fermat that I've been working on all week by tonight........or else!!! :-)))))))))))))))))))))) Dudley Henriques |

I would submit, then, that some people here are better at reading between the lines than you. They have called out Jay elsewhere, and rightly so in my opinion. But lets examine only the words which triggered my response. Jay wrote, "[CNN] has been showing endless video of blacks looting and shouting gibberish at the cameras, essentially since "Day One." It's hard to imagine black people being presented in a worse light." -- End Quote Quite telling indeed. Racists watched the news coverage and saw little more than black people looting and "shouting gibberish at the cameras." Realists, on the other hand, watched the same news coverage and saw a small percentage of black residents looting while tens of thousands of law abiding blacks at the convention center made desperate pleas food and water. Jay wrote, "It's hard to imagine black people being presented in a worse light." His, however, is a racist's take not a realist's take. What the news coverage presented to the realist was a handful of lawless among a sea of law abiding citizens doing exactly as instructed under extremely trying circumstances. Jay watched the news coverage and heard only "gibberish" in the desperate cries for help. Did FEMA director Michael Brown also hear only "gibberish"? I would not be surprised. |

Apparently, in your world, one can not use the word "gibberish" in the same
sentence with the word "black" and not be a racist. That's bull ****! Quite frankly, I don't really care if you think someone is a racist or not. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. If you see a racist inflection in what someone says, there is very little chance of anyone changing your mind by disagreeing with you on Usenet. In other words, think what you like. As an extension of your line of thinking, I would also be a racist by the simple fact I have objected to your position. People like you I just try to avoid :-) DH "TL" wrote in message ...

Failure to learn history, in this case, the OP's is moronic. Rome was saved by the cackling of its faithful geese Your efforts are, at once, boring and wasted. moo |
