It’s actually kind of reassuring, and goes to show our essential commonality and humanity.
No matter what color your skin, no matter what your ethnicity, no matter what culture you come from… if you’re a racist, there’s something wrong with you.
Crime genes, poverty genes, bad education genes, illegitimacy genes. And now racist genes. What is wrong with those people?
Damn, he blowed up real good.
I’d wager we’ll be seeing “banned” under his name is a matter of hours.

Damn, he’s been here since last fall and he seemed fine up until just a few days ago, and then suddenly he just went wacko as hell. Based on what you just posted, I’m thinking it must have been the criticism that Obama has been coming in for over Libya that sent him over the edge.
That, or the angel dust.
I’m still amused that he thought I was a racist and a bigot because I said that the word “nigger” is an awful slur that should never be used to describe anybody, ever. I said the same thing about “kyke” and I admit I am somewhat saddened to learn that I am not also a Jew-hater.
I am surprised to learn that not only am I Irish and probably a member of the IRA (not a bad set of accomplishments for a Jewish guy from Long Island), but Dewey Finn is also my illegitimate brother. Mom!?!?
I was going to ask about the IRA. I was wondering if you were secretly Irish or if the Jewish Banking Conspiracy had put you in charge of Independent Retirement Accounts.
Nah, I left the JBC a few years back. Ironically enough they paid kinda lousy.
Now I’m part of the Jewish Internet Conspiracy where I lead a team in the Propaganda Management department. Our higherups have decided that internet geeks are the true secret to securing utter global domination, so naturally I’ve been assigned to the Dope.
Maybe he just thought your name was, “Ira.”
sniffle I made a racist loon’s enemies list. I feel so special.
That’s what happened to me. I get the picture on my home PC, the gossip page on my mobile.
Well your name probably sounds too much like what is it? Sinn fein? Sean Finn? All those mick names must start to sound alike to poet.
OMG, you said nigger and kike and Jew all in one post! How evil is that?
On a serious note, I had a roommate in college who honestly thought that the proper term was “Jewish” since he had only ever heard the word “Jew” used as a slur and didn’t think it was a real word.
Not to mention that The Seventh Deadly Finn is your illegitimate sister, or you’re triplet Imaginary Friends. Scary stuff.
Still I suspect poet has a point. A search under his username (where did that last blast Finn quoted come from?) reveals the following sequential threads:
Let’s Have a Frank Discussion on Race
What’s For Dinner Tonight?
:eek:
It was a thread in ATMB. Looks like the mods disappeared it.
I suppose my post is the only surviving copy… shhh, don’t tell them.
That’s not an unusual belief. We had a thread about how calling someone a Jew just kind of feels wrong to some people… in IMHO, a couple of months back, I think.
Plus, it’s the same thing with equivalent constructions for other racial descriptors. I’d probably raise an eyebrow if I heard someone referred to as “a black”, “a white”, or “a Chinese” (though not “an Asian”). Actually, that works for definite articles, too - “the blacks” also sounds wrong (though “blacks” by itself is fine).
I think I’ve mentioned this in the past, but some journalism classmates of mine (mid-1990’s) were absolutely incredulous at the professor’s contention that the term “Jew” was not considered a slur, and was an acceptable noun to use in news articles.
I’d gas it was your joyce of agnomen that borned his erse.
