Well said. I’m convinced. I agree. Thanks **Larry**.  
[/QUOTE]  
Damn. And I had already come up with what I was going to post, but **Larry** expressed it better and **Dud** agreed.

Time to haunt a new thread. And I’m off to order myself a Tiger Woods.

Yawn. I’m not interested in your constant mincing of words.

Yeah, damn you, **Contrapuntal** , for your constant mincing of words! Everyone knows they should be diced.

‘When I post a post,’ [del]Humpty Dumpty[/del] **DudleyGarrett** said, in a rather scornful tone,’ it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.’

**DudleyGarrett** , I understand how _excluding_ someone by race is bad for society, but how is an individual _favoring_ asian baseball players (over whites ones, for example) bad for society?

Yawn. I’m not interested in your constant mincing of words. You’re quite clearly an asshole. Enjoy the boards! 🙂  
[/QUOTE]  
Oh good. I’m an asshole. Quite clearly your quiver is empty.

So, where in that _specific_ post did she she _just say_ that her mind was closed? C’mon, you can do it. Can’t you? The words are yours. Can you back them up?

So, from the OP I gathered that a white person serving lunch to a table of black people got put out because they turned out to be uppity nig … y’know, I’m not even going to finish that. But seriously, pitting someone over what they call a drink? Doesn’t take much to piss you off, does it?
