The vast majority of black men are neither rap stars or athletes. Shocking, I know. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Because you said that a woman would be tainted by being into a black man “for the sex”. Damn, cant you read? What did I say? Well yeah. If she is into the guy just because she is a slut and so is he, then yeah, she’s a slut. If however she for example, meets a guy thru church or work, they hit it off because of a mutual attraction and maybe a shared interest (say art, music, or sports), then I have no problem with it. If you call that racist then your the one who’s delusional. ---

What if she dates a white guy “just for the sex?” Still just as tainted? ---

Whatever her motives are, somehow these particular ones make her “tainted”? How would you describe this “taintedness” scientifically, I wonder? Since you’re not racist or anything. ---

Since you’re not racist or anything. I said she was into him just for the sex and the slut lifestyle. Sounds pretty tainted to me. ---

So it’s casual sex in general that’s wicked and morally wrong? And it’s more so when it’s with black guys? I’m a little confused still. ---

If she targets white guys with her sluttiness but in this case she targets just the black guys. I see. What, exactly is this “tainted”? How does it work? What’s the pathology? Why does it seem to work best with “white, slutty women” who hook up with black male rappers and athletes? Does this taintedness work on the inverse (i.e. White dudes having a one-night stand with black women?) If not, why not? How does The Taint not occur when it happens to conform to your specific moral code? So many questions—I know, but please enlighten us. ---

I wonder whether there’s any way a woman would be tainted by associating with Urbanredneck. ---

> [@Urbanredneck](#): > > Sort of. If she targets white guys with her sluttiness but in this case she targets just the black guys. The “sort of” implies it’s worse if she “targets” black guys, which is racist. The whole sentiment is misogynistic, because it reduces the value of women who enjoy sex and take actions to meet their sexual desires. ---

Who knew there was a slut lifestyle? I always figured it was more of a predilection than an actual _commitment_. Color me impressed. ---

See, I must’ve missed it because I was terribly consumed with keeping current on the _homosexual_ lifestyle. That means I only had time for Suburus and the occasional Outback. Trust me, I’ll be taking notes going forward. I don’t want my potential sluttiness to be screwed up. Heh.
