From where do I recognize your tactic of trying to turn a position of weakness into a position of strength? Oh, right! It's from Christianity.

That's hitting a bit below the belt, I'd say. But you and Triangle Man seem to have some interesting subtext, so forgive me if I didn't understand an inside joke.
Besides, because Neitzsche said it, the notion that Christains are meek has been overplayed and widely misundersood. For both of these reasons, you'd probably be better served finding your own sense of things. That's what Zarathustra would have you do anyway.

People who are poor have issues combating prejudice. Demographics show those that identify as black are on a whole lower income than national average. Are some prejudices based on skin color or expected income level? Thus, when income level of an individual is known, and places him/her outside the common notion of "poor," then what level of discrimination is seen. I always see this as a socioeconomic issue.

Remember that PM you sent me? Your resolution didn't last a single day, as far as I can tell. The first chance you had to play your schtick, you jumped for it. But, whatever, come at me as often as you need to.
I find you very intriguing. Keep posting.

Oh, so by you responding to my post to someone else with "suspicious much" was you trying to have a serious conversation with me?
By all means if you want to have a serious convo I'll drop the schtick, but when you bring out your schtick I'm pretty sure it's legit for me to do the same to you.
Again with the one way streets. You live in NYC, San Fran, or Chicago or something? For some reason the bigger/more advanced the city, the more one way streets there are.

Dude, the record is pretty easy to access... because teh internet saves things... scroll back through the pages of this thread and you'll see one of us get unnecessarily (and unintentionally) provoked (hint: you) and you'll see the other one trying to engage the board in conversation.

Always the other person eh? I'd say it's fairly even, but whatever bro.
If you want the last word, that's cool too. I won't respond to your next snappy comeback or blame game post.
Make it a good one though, I like to smile, it brightens my day.

My reaction was, in part, due to the way that I was piled on over several pages of posts by several posters. I made a couple stale attempts at being witty and was the recipient of at least a few derogatory remarks. I did not realize what I was igniting.
If you think that Kicky was "peaceable" I invite you to re-read his first two posts directed toward me in this thread. He was dismissive right from the start. How can we have any sort of meaningful exchange that way? I don't have a problem with you disagreeing with me. I simply want to understand and be understood. If you respect my right to have an opinion I will gladly return that respect. I am open to learning more than I know, and I never claimed to be an expert on racism.
My initial intent posting in this thread was simply to comment on something I found to be bizarre, not to parade around any "white privilege". You ask me why I'm trying to defend something, but I'm not quite sure what you think I'm defending? Do you suppose that I am trying to defend being racist? If so, that was absolutely not my intent. I'm willing to discuss if I don't get piled on again.
