It’s probably better to link to his Pit thread. > [@Pitting Honeybadger](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-honeybadger/810183): > > So, according to you [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=850594), I can finally hang out in mixed company having learned the way to comport myself after generations of being, well, too black. It only took a president and some athletes to show me how to act more like a white person. I wonder how many will come in here and claim that calling this bullshit racist is going too far. Especially since he can’t be a racist since he’s dated quite a few blacks (although, heaven forbid, not AMERICAN blacks). No, your head isn’t in the sand,… Oh, a two-fer there; Sam Stone is in that thread to not only defend HBDC’s unsubstantiated claims but in the process to call everyone a bully and potential murderers for driving people to suicide. > [@Pitting Honeybadger](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-honeybadger/810183/944): > > I defend Honeybadger because I don’t like bullies. I have stood up against bullies my entire life. In fact, that’s how I met my wife. She was being bullied by a couple of men at a baseball game, and I stepped up and told them to get stuffed. And make no mistake: You ARE bullies. You punch down at individuals from a position of being part of the dominant group. You don’t stop at just correcting people, but you continue to mock them and publicly discuss their failings and lack of intellige… This is the kind of thing we’re usually dealing with as these “echo chamber” accusations get tossed around. (Or as Octopus likes to call the board, “the hive”.) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-uzis-useless-claim-about-the-sdmb-being-an-echo-chamber/1014060)._
