I believe the bigotry and prejudice comes from you other folks who are extremely eager to lash out and belittle while also pointing to the shiny "tolerance" chip on your shoulder.
The person who did the interview and stated the tendency of people to cross the street when encountering a hooded black person, or to avoid a tattooed and pierced white dude, etc..........
well, actually, there is nothing wrong with what I just said there. Nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with the above statment....nope, there is NOTHING wrong with it.
Why should one apologize for trying to make a point? Because I said the words "black person in a hoodie", I should apologize? this is not a racist slur....One can't even take this out of context & make it into something bad.
before I am hung out to dry for being a racist, like ya'll did to Harry Lime, let me say now that it is my belief that there's nothing closer to stupidity than racism. However, just because there was a murder of a black person in a hoodie does not mean that it is racist or wrong or even insensitive to ever use the words "black person in a hoodie" to make a point about a certain tendency of people to still avoid a "black person in a hoodie" (or pierced tattooed white dude) that they might encounter on the street.
The only thing that Harry Lime has done in here is share a rare stark honesty and ya'll missed it.
You were too busy raising your own standards and morals and wonderful fuckin personness . ...and then went riding off into the sunset making black movie jokes. Yee Hah, what a fucking joke indeed.
Mind you, I love bad jokes too, **and good ones** but what you all did to Harry Lime is terrible and unwarranted. Like Malloy said in that other thread, in the written form, you can separate words from "tone" or intent....so show me what harry said that was so fuckin bad.....except to reveal a raw human raw truth that ya'll killed him for.
He made an honest point, ....why should that person have to apologize and you have turned it into a crucifixion.
