I suspect, as well, there is a difference in the likelihood of a black woman \*reporting \*a rape by a white man. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > Prediction: **you with the face** will never, ever link to that specific post by **Shodan** , and yet will never ever admit she was wrong. What is it that you want me to admit? That **Shodan** believes I want black women to be raped by white men, but he didn’t necessarily mean _I_ want to be raped? Let’s see, I can concede this, no problem. But the curious thing is that it matters not one whit. The last time I checked, I am black, and so is my mother, my sisters, my cousins, and a lot of my friends. So if you’re trying to sell me on the notion that its substantially better that he thinks I’m a-hankering for a whole bunch of _other_ black women to be raped, but not myself, in order to win some lameass argument about the credibility of a rape allegation…well, you just might want to take that trash somewhere else. He agreed with the guy who did say it, and that’s enough for me. ---

> [@MsWhatsit](#): > > Actually, in the thread being referenced, **Huerta88** was the first to say that he felt that **you with the face** would be happier if white-on-black rape were more common, and then later on in the thread, **Shodan** said that based on **you with the face** ’s subsequent posts, he was inclined to agree with **Huerta88** on this topic. [ Problem was that his reasoning for how he reached that conclusion from my “subsequent posts” makes zero sense. I attempted to engage him on a rational basis and that is what I got in response. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > Prediction: **you with the face** will never, ever link to that specific post by **Shodan** , and yet will never ever admit she was wrong. Now, now - be fair - just because it never happened in the past is no reason to conclude that it won’t happen now. 😉 Regards, Shodan ---

I attempted to engage him on a rational basis and that is what I got in response. Oh, I wasn’t trying to say it made sense. I was just providing the requested cite and a brief summary. I thought that post by **Shodan** was beyond obnoxious and well into completely hateful territory, and the fact that he is now brushing it off with a little ha-ha 😉 smiley about how funny it is that **you with the face** will never admit that her cite doesn’t exist (when I just provided it a couple of posts up), is even more obnoxious. But that is what I expect from **Shodan** , so, whatever. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > I suspect, as well, there is a difference in the likelihood of a black woman \*reporting \*a rape by a white man. Yeah, I wonder why a black woman would be loath to report being raped by a white man. It’s not like someone’s going to call her a “lying whore” just for reporting something statistically rare…oh…wait. ---

You dragged out a 3 year old post to continue to bitch about that mean old Shodan. It would be funny, if it weren’t so pathetic. What cracks me up even more is I don’t even like Shodan or his political views. I just don’t like jackasses like Dinsdale threadshitting in posts like Shodan’s Son thread. ---

OK, let’s see: Someone get a colour chart, the Obama comparison issue should be easily settled. Shodan, well done on the whole son-coming-home-thing, now get him some SPF for Christmas, or you’ll be buying him anti-wrinkle cream next year. No raping, period. And billfish, it’s nighttime in Sweden, and (need I point out) winter, temp around freezing, so no bikini team. ---

How does one ‘threadshit’ in a Pit thread, exactly? Please exclude as your definition tacoloco’s posts and instead give a generic one. And in terms of Pit Thread Performance, you’ve put in one of the sorriest showings I’ve seen in a long time. As to the OP, on the scale of dickmuffinry, I’d rate Shodan a 3 or 4 (past history aside which I know little about) while Dinsdale was a 5 or 6. ---

I don’t want to read through the whole thread but in the linked post he said he was discounting the assertion that you were disappointed that white-on-black rape was rare. Why not choose a post that backs up your argument rather than his? ---

YWTF’s comment about the gallery remaining silent was _because of Huerta’s post saying she wanted to be raped slavemaster-style_. Looks to me like Shodan is saying that people agree that YWTF want that. And if that’s not what he meant, he should have clarified because it _really_ easily can be read that way. I saw it the first time reading through the link. ---
