> [@Dynastic](#): > > I am NOT A WHITE MAN. SO DONT CALL ME RASCIST. Well, I am a white man (or, more properly, A WHITE MAN) so go ahead if you like. (although not in Great Debates). Since your position appears to be that no one can oppose Obama except because of racism. I do oppose what little he has done so far, so apparently, I am a RASCIST. The point being I oppose policies that I think wrong whether the President in question is white, black, or green with yellow polka dots. By the bye, are you going to respond to any of the points raised, or do you just want to rant? Regards, Shodan ---

> [@Dynastic](#): > > Look at the guy who says I won’t call you a rascist and then he calls me a rascist. I am not rascist because Im not WHITE. Do you really not understand the racism of this statement? You are saying that only white people are capable of being racist. That is about as racist a statement as I have ever heard. Whether you are a racist I can not say. But the statements you have posted here are highly racist. ---

How can a BLACK man be racist??? Unless he hates himself like Condolizza rice or something??? I don’t hate myself I am PROUD. Are you proud of who you are??? Are you proud your daddy owned slaves? ---

> [@Dynastic](#): > > I am NOT A WHITE MAN. SO DONT CALL ME RASCIST. You’ve repeatedly called everybody who disagrees with you politically a racist. And you’re passing some extremely broad judgments about white people. There are more liberals than conservatives on this board, but we do have our share of intelligent and thoughtful conservatives. You’d do well to at least listen to their point of view. If you keep this up, this thread will probably not stay open much longer. Edited: And if you call other posters racist, that’s going to make matters worse. ---

Because of the disjointed, hostile nature of your arguments, various logical non sequitors, prolific mispellings, use OF THE CAPS key and repeated punctuations (!!! ???), other posters are implying that your posts appear as if they were written by someone who is drunk, mentally retarded or a small child. ---
