Gee, I missed this!
:reads the thread:
OK, I didn’t miss much.
Thanks to all who have expressed good thoughts towards my son, who is still deeply tanned but is shoveling two feet of snow off the driveway. Sunburn and frostbite, all in the same week - a memory to cherish when he is back in Basra. 
Regards,
Shodan
Walks like a duck. Quacks like a duck. Threadshits like a duck. Is duck.
Then I suggest you actually think before you post. Because what I read was shameful.
You’re coming dangerously close to becoming that which you hate, my man.
IMO he zoomed right past it and kept on going.
I seem to remember him saying in the past that I wanted to be raped by a white man, and that I was disappointed that white-on-black rape wasn’t more common. Because I’m black, you see, and what black woman wouldn’t be flattered by a white man raping them? Another poster was actually the first to say it, but he chimed in agreement. It happened in a monster trainwreck a few years ago entitled Lying Whore.
Given the insight I’ve had into his mind, it’s really quite amazing that I’m giving him a pass on this pitting.
No offense, but I really wish this misconception would die. There is no handbook that says a racist person has to dislike all other races except his own in order to be racist. It’s perfectly plausible that someone would single out one racial group for scorn while respecting all other ones.
Racists can also be friends with those that he considers inferior to him. I mean, my best friends are cats. But that doesn’t mean that I respect them as my peers.
Nor they you - they are, after all, cats, who feel that they have no peers.
Just FTR, the first statement is a flat-out lie. The second part I disbelieved at first, but you with the face made it quite clear that she *was * disappointed that white-on-black rape is very much rarer than other combinations, not because of her bizarre misrepresentations but because it blows holes in her notion of the ravening white exploiter of black females. She apparently thought Mandingo was a documentary.
What actually went down in the thread was that people said, in essence, 'Gee, white-on-black rape is awfully unusual - maybe something else is going on besides what Nifong and the hooker are trying to sell". (This was about the Duke lacrosse “rape” case.) Sure enough, it turned out that the hooker in question was exactly what the title of the thread said she was, and so was Nifong.
Kind of an entertaining thread, if for no other reason than to see people argue that it is better to be politically correct than to be factually correct.

I don’t even understand this statement. Ignorance is so blissful.
(Why doesn’t the multi-quote button work for me? Does it work for other people? Is there a trick to it?)
I have absolutely no opinion about the actual subject of this thread, but I wanted to address this by saying that it’s certainly possible to have negative feelings and opinions about one ethnic group and not others (for example, to be racist toward African-Americans, but not Asian-Americans). I’ve seen such dichotomies.
And there is nothing in the rule book that says even a racist has to be on the clock 24/7 with everything they say and do either.
If Shodan “the racist” says something that wouldnt get more than minor “that didnt sound quite right” if said by a “confirmed non racist”, he shouldnt get any more shit about it than anybody else would either IMO.
Oh, wait, this is PC land and its different rules for different people.
Yes, this is real plausible, Shodan. I was practically weeping in my cornflakes because hordes of white men aren’t raping black women, including me, on a continuous basis. :rolleyes:
I’m actually glad you came in to defend this belief of yours, because some people seem to be under the impression that you are not all that bad. What better way to help dispel them of that notion than to have you personally show your true colors.
And if anyone thinks any statements of mine are lies, they are more than welcome to comb through that nightmare of a thread that I linked to earlier. There would be no point of me in posting that link if my intent was to lie.
This may sound like a dumb question, but, is that sentiment actually racist? It just sounds dumb. Not entirely racist.
Also, I’m not about to go into that linked thread, but was the conversation that white men didn’t rape black women back in slavery days? You know, I had always taken that as a given. It just occurs to me that I have just taken that for granted based on…I don’t know. Maybe I did get those kinds of ideas from movies like Mandingo!
Sure there is. You linked to the thread, which is 35 pages long, rather than to any of my posts in that thread where I actually made the statement. That’s because, as Koxinga mentions, people are unwilling to spend much time reading thru 35 pages.
You can easily prove the truth of your statement by providing a cite.
So, in time-honored SDMB fashion -
Cite?
Not racist - non-existent.
At no time did I say that she wanted to be raped by a white man, or that she should be flattered by being raped. you with the face made that up. Since it didn’t really happen, it really doesn’t make any difference if it is racist or not.
Regards,
Shodan
Well, I did read the thread. There’s the cite
Yes. That is correct. SHE was the one who said that, sarcastically, in classic straw man fashion… Now she is coming back and accusing you of *actually *saying it.
That is about the slimiest thing I’ve seen on these boards.
In the context in which the sentiment arose, most definitely it’s racist. Just why would anyone be disappointed at the notion that their demographic group isn’t frequently raped by white men? The idea suggests that it’s something of a compliment to have a white man attack a black woman in that way.
No, it wasn’t. The thread started out about the Durham rape allegation and evolved into a trainwreck when one poster started pontificating about how he suspected the allegation was false because the accuser was black and the accused were white. I challenged him on this specious reasoning and…well, trainwreck ensued.
Like this one where you wrote:
“His assertion” refers to the idea that I wanted black women to be “slavemaster-style” raped more often.
Why are you even challenging me on this when in this very thread you’ve vouched for this belief? I already said you weren’t the first to say it. But you expressed agreement with it, and that’s just as bad.
I could ask you do provide a cite showing where I said anything in that thread that suggested I wanted to be “slave-master” raped, but why bother? There’s nothing there to support that nasty assertion and we both know it.
Holy crap, I just realized we have a black President!
He is apparently lighter than some well tanned Korean kid, so I wouldnt worry about it too much 
You made the assertion that Shodan said it. It’s YOUR job to find the relevant post(s).
Don’t make accusations unless you’re prepared to back it up.
