I personally thought this was a pretty classy website, but I'm dissappointed to see that the blatantly racist comment of "no one in their white mind" made it through, and was allowed to stay up. I find it very offensive, and the writer is more low rent than the HumDeVille!!!!

acesfull, what you said is one way to look at it, but then again, most of us cannot take the trash or jokes too seriously, we all from time to say crazy stuff among friends, that does not mean we are evil racists, regardless of the color of your skin. We can't really run through life chasing demons, rescue virgins, nor can we constantly look over our shoulders to see if ACLU, NAACP or Jewish league or NOW or whatever other self-appointed institutions maybe watching or suing us. It is really no big deal, take it easy.

Almost every minute of my waking hours I am extremely careful about what I say, and I make a serious effort to be an equal, fair, just and a better man, but I am getting a bit sick and tired of being so careful to the point of being scared or affraid of even talking to close friends. Any good intentioned remark about race or religion could be misinterpreted.

We went to a 5 hours long French dinner at a friend's house tonight, at one point, we started talking/joking about certain race, I think you could hear the men and women laughing from a block away. None of what we said could ever be printed or be known outside that dining room. Honestly that happens among best close friends whatever your race maybe, or which race might be the target for the moment. It was just one of the 100 subjects we talked about tonight. None of us are racists, all of us have employees and friends of all colors.

Take it easy.

Mac, I won't reply further to this issue, but if you think that it's OK to make these kind of comments behind the privacy of closed doors, you're wrong. It's unacceptable to make these kind of comments, so don't tell me to "take it easy." I'm a transplanted Northerner, who wound up living in the South, and I'm exposed to ignorant bigotry every day, and I don't accept it, and I won't. Part time bad behaviour is just as bad as full time bad behaviour.I don't understand the second paragraph of your post, where you say that you're "sick and tired of being so careful to the point of being scared or afraid of even talking to close friends. Any good intentioned remark about race or religion could be misinterpreted." Do you find something good intentioned in a comment like "anyone in their white mind?"
IF you only behave decently when you're, as you say, "looking over our shoulders to see if ACLU, NAACP or Jewish league or NOW or whatever other self-appointed institutions maybe watching", that's not enough!!

As to your French dinner, if you were making comments that couldn't be printed, when you were talking/joking about certain race, I find it amusing that you let yourself off the hook by saying that none of you are racists. Exactly what do you think racists are???....because people who sit around joking about someone's race pretty well qualify as racists to me!!!!!!!

When I read "Northerner", "South", and "ignorant" in the same sentence, all I can say is:

Delta's ready when you are!

acesfull, you take yourself too seriously, you assume you are better and more intelligent than the others. What each one of us at that dinner have done and donated to the poor or disadvantaged in one year, regardless of their colors, could well surpass what you ever done in a lifetime. Sufficed to say that you will not change my mind and I'll not change your mind, let's leave it at that.

That reminds me of a conversation 20 years ago in Birmingham Alabama. My ex-wife's current husband was a police Captain in Birmingham, he and I turned out to be good friends and fraternity brothers, he was known to be one of the firsts to promote blacks, helped blacks and risked his life to save blacks, not a popular thing to do in Birmingham decades ago. Yet in private conversation at home, he and his friends told me they'd never socialize with blacks nor have blacks in their homes. I thought about this many times throughout the years; that clearly marked them as racists, yet what he and those few likeminded folks have quietly done far outweighted the contribution, sound and words of most others like you.

Take it easy.

I don't find the comment rascist. Stereotypical.... Yes. But that's just the way it goes.

I have an extremely erie gift of being able to identify the race of just about any driver on the freeway just by the look of the car, the lane the driver is driving is, and the speed at which they are traveling.

My wife will tell I can do this with about 98% accuracy.

So if I had seen that Humdewhatever driving down the road, I would have guessed a Black person was driving it without a doubt.

That does not make me a racist.
