US Muslims rally to help US Black Christians from the concerted onslaught of US White Terrorism against them

I for one was offended that your post didn't contain any dickgirls - you might as well shout to the world "hey everybody, I'm a dickgirlacist"

As I said, that was tongue-in-cheek.

Ok sorry, missed that part.

[Elok]

I, for my part, forgot that the people on the internet cannot actually hear a dry tone of voice, chuckles, etc. when I am typing plain text.

You realize we do have smilies on this forum, right?

Yeah, I'm trying to find one on the list that conveys "I do not own a pointy white hood." Probably better if I just avoid controversial subjects entirely.

I love this thrade, you guise.

Nah, that's the boring way out

No, if I'd posted tin-foil hat it'd sound like I was calling black people paranoid or something. Also, the boring way out is when you drill a hole in the wall to escape.

Bulldust. Elok did not make a racist comment. He was describing something he was, that is all.

He made a racist comment in that Black churches are not inclusive. It was one thing to say, "I saw a lot of signs promoting churches with pictures of a black couple on the way to Florida. Anyone know who they are? Are they famous in the area?" Instead he said, to his wife, "those churches must only want black people, because that couple is black. Cracker! Honker! Wonk! Wonk! Wonk!"

If he wants to pass it off as an ill-placed joke, that's his choice. Hopefully, he'll consider what made his so quickly come to that conclusion and the need to present it here with so little context outside of "look at the crazy thing I saw black people do."

Elok is clearly a Ben Kenobi DL

This thrade fell pretty far down the page so I am putting a poast in it to raise it to the top again lol.

I don't mean this as some kind of 'OMG HUNT DOWN TEH RACIST!' thing, but what he said was describing a racist response to a situation. Hell, I'm sure every one of us has had one at some point however unwillingly, but that doesn't change what it was. He basically jumped to the conclusion that black churches having a picture of their pastor outside was an unspoken way of saying that whites weren't welcome there.

Not that the black church community have an unusually personality focused approach to church publicity. Not that black churches maybe like to display that they're largely black churches to encourage other African Americans to feel comfortable visiting them. No, his immediate feeling was that it was ward off white people.

I see where you are coming from. However, I do not regard Elok as a racist and interpreted his post accordingly. I do not believe that Elok had any racist intentions.

Perhaps the post could have been worded better, but none of us are perfect wordsmiths.

[ZEE]

I wonder if Elok is banned yet?

[ZEE]

I want Elok to get banned so bad, you guise.
