But if white folks claim this isn’t an overrepresented white space, then it’s not an overrepresented [white space](https://www.nouilles.info/sdpix/). The next trick our cross-burning inbreds will perform: the claim that half of the staff are people of color followed by the statement that there is no evidence that this message board fosters and promotes racial animus against people of color. ---

Yeah, I can’t speak for numbers, but this joint is and has always been overwhelmingly white. ---

It seems a little redundant to accuse a cross-burning inbred of racial animus. I mean, I think if I was caught burning a cross, I’d probably own up to the racial animus. Unless it was an accident or something. ---

But that’s only a cross-section of members who were vain and foolish enough to submit their photograph to be posted on a public site where it will (evidently) remain unchanged forever and ever and ever (whether they like it or not, and no matter how stridently they plead for it to be taken down) or at least until the domain registration expires or we’re all mercifully annihilated in a nuclear firestorm along with our stupid pictures. Maybe the silent majority of people of color were too smart for that. ---

> [@Huey\_Freeman](#): > > The next trick our cross-burning inbreds will perform Coming from a guy whose mother and father were brother and sister, and from a long line of carefully planned generational of incestuous inbreeding, you’re projecting pretty hard don’t you think Hubert? I’m curious though: when you have your horrible inbred genetic monstrosities, will they be with your sister-wife, or your mother-aunt? And you don’t need to reply as I certainly respect your privacy, but your race is actually blue, not black, correct? When you say that you are a person of color, that color is cyan, right? Like the Blue Fulgates family of Kentucky? Close or much closer relations of yours? ---

The problem with Huey is that he is a super racist. He drapes himself in victimhood and simultaneously celebrates it like a badge of honor and wields it as an impotent attack against those who would disagree with him. Unfortunately for him (and the rest of us), this pseudo pathology is likely chronic and intractable. He may be educated, he may be able to bring a different perspective to discussion, but ultimately it doesn’t matter because his persona is so boring. He hates white people. How original. ---

You, yourself accused me of being a white man. You never apologized nor did you ever admit wrong, because you - like most white people - are incapable of self-reflection and humility. While I don’t know you, I can tell that your inability for introspection are tell-tale signs that you are poor inbred trash masquerading as human being. Let me be clear, Guinastasia: I do not give a shit about your emotional baggage. I do not care about your 9th grade vocabulary. I do not care about your desultory writing style nor your inability to pen a thesis statement. I do not care about your “past experiences” with other posters. I do not care about “Kaitlyn”, “WallyM7” and “umkay” or any other poster on the SDMB. I do not care that you’ve wasted two decades and countless hours of your life posting on a message board. I do not care that you’ve constantly posted here to get fellowship that you clearly do not have outside the Internet. Really, I don’t. I realize now why you don’t have many people of color here. You see, most people of color have these things called bills. These bills (or responsibilities) are used by people of color to live and these bills have names like rent, electric bill, car payment, food, etc that require us to go to work. So, as you can see, we don’t have the privilege to write over 7 posts a day, every day, for over 6900 days straight, never missing a day. Really, we don’t. Your projection is funny. You’re diagnosing people over the Internet but I suspect that, in real-life, you are an old, lonely, miserable, depressed, pill-popping woman who has chased away and alienated any semblance of warmth and comfort in this world. So, lost, you come _here_ for your approval, for your fellowship, for your social fix for acceptance, for your awful self-preening. It’s pathetic, sad, and childish (well, in your case, elderly). Just so you know, up until now, even after all of the shit you’ve said, I deliberately held back, and tried to be nice. But, because you insist on acting like Grand Dragon Shodan, I will treat you like the hateful, inbred, cross-burning animal you are. Begone, thot. > … You managed to completely and utterly miss Guinastasia’s point, which was that no intelligent person automatically accepts the demographic claims made by _anyone_ on the internet. The only reasonable default assumption is that nothing can be assumed. Missing the point as you did, the only thing left in your toolkit was a list of racist and sexist insults. If you are a white-supremacist attempting to impersonate a person of color for the purpose of smearing the reputations of people of color, you’re doing a good job. If not, not. ---
