You mean to tell me that black people really do drink a lot of grape soda? Well, I’ll be damned, I thought that was just some sort of jokey legend thingy. Huh. About the only thing I ever noticed is that, for the most part, they are too smart to ride motorcycles. ---

I have only one more thing to say to the OP: You spend a remarkably large amount of time and energy thinking and talking about groups of people that you _don’t even like._ ---

It bears repeating that I don’t think you would fit in very well in the teutonic motherland today. How do you feel about about the social democratic regimes in northern Europe? ---

But not because he is black… because he is a closet Marxist apologist who is a danger to this country. Being black is almost tertiary… he is a product of the Chicago political machine, and when was the last time _they_ ever produced an honest politician? > > _4) Do you like/love your hatred for black people? Does it give you purpose or other meaning? If so, please describe._ > > I’m not sure I understand the question… how can I “love” hate? And another thing, I never said I “hated” black people.. I said I have an intense dislike for them and their actions. Does it give me purpose? No, not really. However, it does affect my actions to an extent, ie: I am wary around young black men, especially when they are in groups… the females, not so much… Okay, a couple of follow-ups: 1. Do you vote? If so, are you registered voter? What party? What presidential candidates have you voted for? (Against?) 2. I suppose what I mean is that do you feel any shame from your hatred? A warm feeling inside? Do you wish you did not have it? Do you treasure your hatred? Do you think it is anger that has been built up? ---

> [@LeeshaJoy](#): > > I have only one more thing to say to the OP: > > You spend a remarkably large amount of time and energy thinking and talking about groups of people that you _don’t even like._ Funny you should say this; I’ve reached the very same conclusion about many of the posters in this thread. Clearly, the OP craves attention. Clearly, most of you despise his stance, if not him. But the thread is barely 24 hours old and it sports over 400 replies and more than 9000 views. Yet many of the posts state (or imply) that the OP is not worthy of their attention. Those who continue to feed this monster ought to be ashamed. (and before anyone jumps on _me_, know that I’ve read the entire thread, and this is - and will be - my sole response to it) mmm ---
