Why would growing up in Mississippi indoctrinate you into anything? Or are you saying that because you grew up around it (isn't that day to day) you should have been but weren't because you're black and they (whitey) shut you out?

Condoleezza Rice must have had access to some spy equipment over in Alabama you couldn't get in Mississippi?

Maybe it was your attitude, and not theirs (collectively) that was/is your problem?

Never mind. Let's just blame the white folk...

I was just so unfortunate to never hear the thoughts and opinions of White people in 28 years of life. Or maybe I heard it and just didn’t comprehend it. Being in gifted classes I was the only Black kid most of the time but my comprehension level just wasn’t high enough to understand they’re superior points of view. This is my first time EVER debating a predominantly White audience whose views are diametrically opposed to mine. Uncharted territory. I don’t know what to do. That predominantly, White/Conservative football team I played for never sounded like you guys.

Man I don't know what happened to you in your younger years, but on behalf of all white people I am sorry. We jacked you up something fierce huh?

And now you want some land to make you feel better. I'm so sorry that isn't going to happen.

I'm guessing that, since this is your first time that you don't mind it when people whom you feel don't have a clue about how you feel call you a racist?

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to the club.

Glad we found some common ground today. How merciful of you to apologize to me. I’m so gracious. That’s all I needed. I’ve changed now.

I'd like to think we did. You don't think we have a clue when we call you a racist. We feel similarly when "y'all" call "us" racist.

But then again, I'm white. Between you and I there can be no common ground, right?

Sad.

You can go through all 10 pages of the thread and quote when I told you that...and then we can talk about how wrong I was when I said it.

Never said there was no common ground.

Oh you'd never actually say that anymore than you'd admit your views are overtly racist. Can a man who desires the destruction of the American political system specifically because white people built it actually have common ground with a white person?

No matter, it was my "You don't think we have a clue when we call you a racist. We feel similarly when "y'all" call "us" racist." statements that I was hoping you'd focus on. Maybe you overlooked them deliberately.
