Al Sharpton is a decent man

Dang skippy he is. The election isn’t even until next year, and Santorum is already down in the polls.

Shit I’m sorry I missed this thread all day. I just wanted to jump in now, having read the whole thing and say how proud I am to be an ignorant fuck racist like the rest of you ignorant fuck racists that think Al Sharpton is a waste of oxygen.

Bob Loblaw, I don’t know if you really mean the crap you spout, or if like some others have hinted at here, you’ve just fallen badly off your meds and need to get thee back to the clinic post-haste. Either way, you are way the fuck off base to label anyone with a word like “racist” because they think someone is a worthless shit, and he happens to be african-american. It’s possible, just possible that Rev. Al is a worthless shitpile just because he is. He could be green or as brown as me (hispanic by the way, married to a woman with african american father) and it wouldn’t matter, he’s still a steamy piece of shit.

A worthless, lying, criminal. Piece of crap, whose word means nothing.

Oh, that last sentence? That was you too.
**
Bob Loblaw**, fuck off. And again, if that makes me racist, then sign me the fuck up because today, you’ve singlehandedly made that word mean nothing to the people that have devoted their lives to fighting real racism.

Jagoff.

Didn’t Bob Loblaw say in another Pit thread he would be gone in…3 days now?

First Time I remember running into him.
Did he say that somewhere?
Are we suppose to talk him out of it?

Ok, I’ll go with this.

Bob Loblaw: You should stick around awhile and maybe learn from the board. You can share your opinions and in the free exchange that follows you will learn some things and teach some things.

You might want to not toss the racist word so much however.

Now could you please explain how you can defend Farrakhan.

I’d pay the $15 for him to go away. Think how far that would go in the gift shop at the clinic!

Well in theory, part of being a member is to fight ignorance. In Bob Loblaw’s case there might a damn good fight. :wink:

Hmm, good point damn you!!.

Good fight in the sense of HUGE fight? Long, uphill struggle? Pushing a boulder up an icy hill barefoot kind of fight?

Fuck yeah, I’m serious. Very goddamned serious, and extremely pissed off. The kind of pissed off that makes me glad we’re not in the same room, because I’d either end up in jail or the hospital, depending on which one of us was bigger and faster. Used to be, despite the grief I’ve given you, I figured you had some standards, some level of decency. Turns out I was wrong. You don’t like Al Sharpton? Fuck you, you fucking hypocrite. The two of you are peas in a pod. The only difference between the two of you is, you don’t have enough charisma to pick up a hooker, let alone start a race riot.

And that’s as much time as I want to devote to the subject. You aren’t worth any more energy than that. You’re an insect. Why don’t you go somewhere and get stepped on?

Sisyphean, I’d call it.

I thought Bob had some potential. I seem to remember him recanting after putting words into another Doper’s mouth, and it seemed like a very good omen. I guess my intuition was off. He evidently still doesn’t see a problem with calling everybody racists for not liking one specific man. That, my friends, is neutron density dumb.

Afraid so, but lets wait and see.

Not all racists spread hatred, which is part of what makes some of them so insidious. Sometimes they’re perfectly content to be quiet little racists at home. What makes people racist is assigning people lesser value based on what they look like.

No, I cannot defend Farrakhan against a charge of racism, he’s a racist and pretty darn unrepentent. Including him in a set of three is a mistake. I suppose I could make up something, but I wouldn’t be sincere about it in the same way I’m sincere that the people who hate Sharpton and Jackson are racists if they dismiss what they have to say based on who they are.

Go fuck yourself. Tough man threatening on a message board. Punk-ass bitch. BTW, 6’4" 250#. I’m thinking you’d better like hospital food you twit.

It’s always a pleasure encountering your gentle side.

Marley23: Not to nitpick, but, well, okay, to nitpick:

Racists don’t necessary need to assign people a lower value because of whatever ‘group’ they’re part of. I believe that racism is treating someone as part of a ‘group’ and denying their inherent humanity and individuality.

Some of the most insidious racism looks like compliments.
“Oh, I want to make sure I go to a nice Jewish doctor.”
“Well of course he does well in math class, he’s Chinese.”

I think you meant neutronium density dumb.

The accusation is leveled against people who refuse to listen to Jesse Jackson’s (or Al Sharpton’s) complaints about racism, they yell and scream about their alleged grievances against them, even though the screamers are never personally the aggreived, to the point of drowning out the discussion about the points they raise, or using them as a boogey man as in the Rosa Parks thread. It’s just disgusting. If the culture is that someone casts an insult and then move on to the meat of the argument, well have the decency to move on to the meat of the argument, address their complaint. If that doesn’t happen, then it’s absolutely because the non-listener is a racist. I’m talking about Bill O’Reilly types, who will rant for 10 minutes on what a bastard Jesse Jackson is, but then not give 30 seconds to the outrage that Jackson is highlighting.

Oh, and various shit for brains posters, I really don’t care what you think about me. Fuck the fucking racist fucks. And the non-racists who don’t like me, well then just fuck 'em.

So you admit you were being needlessly inflamatory? Do you see anything wrong with claiming that people are racists if they dislike a certain list of people, and adding some names to that list for the hell of it? Can you cite a single person in this thread dismissing Shaprton based on who he is, rather than his arguments or actions?

I seem to remember that you fucked up in an instance of ‘mind reading’ when you started posting here. But you seem to have learned nothing from it. Can you really not see why calling Dopers racists simply because they find fault with one man is ridiculous rhetoric?

Nope, neutron density dumb. As in, as dense as neutrons are packed in the neucleus of an atom.

Bullshit. You called people racists for not liking Sharpton, not for disagreeing that there is racism that he sometimes points out.

Then you’re being painfully foolish. Do you think that nobody can ever make a point about being upset about anything without also making a counter point about being upset about something else? For Og’s sake why can’t someone point out that Sharpton is a schmuck without saying that racism is a bad thing? The two have nothing to do with each other.

You’re behaving like you’re in your terrible twos and throwing a temper tantrum. If you’re going to leave this message board and go to another, you should stop pulling this shit there, at least.

How could someone with such an awesome username make me so sad? Now everytime I watch Arrested Development I’ll think of ignorance. It’s like someone posting as “Tom Servo” coming on here and saying he was glad Katrina took out New Orleans and that Jessica Alba is an ugly whore.

You’re absolutely right, that was inappropriate. Just because I’m talking to a cockroach is no excuse to act like one myself.
