RacerX-if you've read some of the other posts on this subject, you'll see that I admit to being mistaken and said so.
Nothing wrong with admitting this. But your tone is militant and a bit abrasive, therefore no one is going to listen to you and your posts will be marginalized.
You may not care, but to have a voice here that people actually respect, you must take a page out of the book of some of our most eloquent public speakers and not be so divisive.
I would rather listen to Cornell West that Louis Farrakhan any day of the week. But if you would rather be recognized as a race-baiting buffoon, the choice is yours.
1. That choice is yours, Farrakhan is more interesting than Cornel West. West is a gasbag, if I do say so. Overly eloquent for no real purpose. And dont think I dont know him, West from Sacramento, Ca., accused of rape as a young man, went on to get a PhD and presently teaches at Princeton. I know Cornel West. If you ever compared what the 2 of them say you d see it for yourself.
Race baiting buffoon? Whats YOUR agenda Batman? You cannot find one statement I made which baits race. Nope, not one. Excuse me but who is the person that said natural selection would have eliminated these people in the past? Me? No, it was not me. And I should defer to whom for what? Because he has been here longer? If you re wrong, you re wrong.
If you make a general statement it is because it is prelude to your position on the subject, now excuse, me if I draw the most clear conclusion one could make from the premise written. I like how one is so astute as to condense the entire scientific philosophy of Darwinism into a 3 word bumper sticker.
2. I am not militant nor abrasive. If you believe it to be maybe it is because my writing style is overtly expressive. It may have hurt your feelings, but is this what we re discussing here? Your feelings? Cannot apologize for that. And will not deflect from it. I was under the impression that we re talking about the people who suffer needlessly?
3. I m not divisive. I didnt make comparison between here and there and assert that a failed state here and a failed state there must be within these people because they originated from there. Wasnt me. But it was me who took offense to it.
And finally, you cannot get a tone from reading an article. The only tone you get is the one you transcribe to it. You consider my writing style abrasive while people die from hunger in the street. Whats wrong with you man? I like how you prioritize offense, man, real scientific. Its like another day on the golf course, right? The people will know this event now and in a year from now when we move onto something new. And next year when he look at the next disaster these people will still be stuck in a life of inadequate subsistence.
4. I posed real questions in that post. And no one has posted answers why not? Were they invalid? Off point? Or do they proffer answers one may not want to consider?
And by the way the most progressive action in human civilization have ALWAYS come from the margins.
