Trad, do you dislike black people?

[Town Heretic]

Oh, so you're claiming that Trad's dislike for black people is worse than your dislike for me?

I don't dislike you. I don't like you, but mostly I don't like how you choose to be, your actions. If you change them I'm happy. I'm not going to invest, negatively, in you. There's no profit in it for anyone. Trad disdains an entire race of people, most of whom he'll never meet or no and who have done nothing, literally nothing to warrant any part of that disdain.

Anyway, if I do a horrible job of something with anyone it isn't something that pleases me. I don't even like the thought of hurting someone who doesn't care for me, which is why I publicly apologized to the Catholic woman in one of her many incarnations for a remark I thought would be taken hurtfully by her. Trad isn't concerned that his remarks about black people might injure and put his faith in a poor light. So he celebrates music that calls blacks N...... and holds views that would make the song writer happy.

No, Town, I'm not buying it that you love any more than Trad does.

It's not a contest or even about that. My failings aren't something I desire or defend. I can be arrogant and condescending and hurtful. None of those are attributes I enjoy or aim to fulfill, however often I fail on the points.

You've just played the hypocrite so long you see others as less than you see yourself, and have no room at all to find fault with Trad concerning his feeling toward any particular race of people.

That's just you being angry and goofy. You seem comfortable in it. I hope that you aren't.

I'm hoping to drive a wedge between you and your ego, and I plan on continuing in that effort. :thumb:

Have you ever considered that you may have a problem along that line?

You're such a liar, Town. And worse, you claim to be better than Trad who is honest about his feelings. You "disdain" anyone who you feel isn't up to your particular standard in some way. You just make excuses for your disdain and he doesn't.

Truly, there is no bigger fool than the one who has fooled himself. :nono:

:mock: Anna

She is a child of the devil and tries her hardest to ruin people's lives. Pay no mind to the jezebel's sewage.

 

[Town Heretic]

You're such a liar, Town.

No, but this is one of the reasons our conversations aren't really profitable. If you can't credit someone with their own mind then you're just interested in yours. And that's not a conversation or even an argument. It's a blog with odd gaps.

And worse, you claim to be better than Trad

No, I never have. Everyone needs grace. I agreed with Angel about that. What I said distinguishes some failures is when we love our sin, when we are comfortable in it. I'd guess you'd say that to a homosexual who was unrepentant on the point and comfortable in his or her sin. Same thing, really.

You "disdain" anyone who you feel isn't up to your particular standard in some way.

No, though I have disdain for many a standard. Say, a racist one.

You just make excuses for your disdain and he doesn't.

I not only haven't, I've noted some faults and my disappointment in them.

Truly, there is no bigger fool than the one who has fooled himself. :nono:

You're adorable. I said it once. I say it again.

Your disdain is still dripping out from under that mask. :chuckle:

Boy, you've really incurred the wrath of gd - :devil:

Which was MY point, so what if trad personally doesn't like interracial marriage, he has a right to his own opinions.

I just popped back on to say that, leaving for dinner now, yall have a good evening and happy valentines day.

Nah. Right now I'm feeling remarkably mellow. Just submitted my first lesson plan. I think the kids are going to have a hoot with it. Scientific pet detectives all, solving the Great Pet Mystery. At the root of it they're going to have to distinguish between living organisms and nonliving objects. My students are part of my agency and we've been retained by five students who don't know how to distinguish between the two and figure out which of them has an actual pet.

There's Jack, with his cat Seven. Ann has two sunflowers, Chlora and Phil. Darius has Stu, the fish. Bell has a pet dolly named Manny and Robert has a rock named Mr. Turner.

There's the story at launch and a series of clues with visuals (a Power Point) that will lead to class discussion and a lot of pasting. I'm trying to design formative assessments that will be engaging and fun. Basically be the teacher I would have enjoyed as a kid.

What were we talking about again? :think: Nothing important. Just keep plugging. You'll get where you need to go.

I don't disagree with that at all.

I just popped back on to say that, leaving for dinner now, yall have a good evening and happy valentines day.

You too. Enjoy.

Hope you get to see the bit about my lesson plan. :think: I may have to figure a way to get the power point on here. Everyone have a very happy whatever is left of Valentine's Day.

 

[ClimateSanity]

I find your using the word "forth" amusing. :thumb:

I find your taking issue with her word usage typically snotty and condescending.

It sounds interesting to me! God bless all dedicated and innovative teachers!

 

[ClimateSanity]

And why in the world should it bother you whether mixed marriages bother him or not?
In fact, the idea that it bothers you makes me sick. :think:


I'm quite sure we wouldn't have to dig too deep to find something in your own life to make someone here sick.
That avatar of yours doesn't do much for me, I'll tell you that.

Isn't it che Guevara?

 

[bybee]

Boy, you've really incurred the wrath of gd - :devil:

And of course, he too, has a right to his own opinion....

 

[ClimateSanity]

Ah, Town arrives to correct the course of those around him. "You took a personal spin" and "I turned it back".

"What a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man". :banana:

Give him a cape and tights.

 

[bybee]

Give him a cape and tights.

He is a good man.

 

[patrick jane]

I find your taking issue with her word usage typically snotty and condescending.

I find you abrasive and redundant - :devil:

 

[Rusha]

He is a good man.

That he is ...

 

[Traditio]

When i was a teen, i worked in a store and there was a black guy who worked there, who asked me out all the time, even though i kept politely saying no, then he started telling others i was racist and then one day in front of other people in the break room, he asked me again but also asked me if the reason i said no was because i was racist.

I said no, its because i dont think black men are attractive and prefer the way white men look. Others thought that made me racist, instead of honest.

People like what they like, they have a right to their own opinion, whether you like it or not. Anna.

From what I understand, this is rather common, and many white women, in fact, feel pressured into dating black men simply because they fear being labeled racists.

As I've said before:

Integration has proved an unmitigated disaster for white people. Ultimately, it spells "death" for our race and for our culture. Segregation was far, far better for us. Even better, perhaps, would it have been for not even a single person of color ever to have set foot upon American soil.

 

[Town Heretic]

I had a good bit of fun making it. An example of a clue...you see a picture of a cow in the distance. The caption reads, "How do you get from there" next photo has a cow nosing the camera, caption, "To here?" Following slide: You mooooooooove!. The font is funny. It's called AR CHRISTY

Did I mention this lesson is for wee ones?


Now back to old business:

Give him a cape and tights.

:think: Well, I have the legs to pull it off, but I'm a bit concerned that that's the image you went for. lain:

I find your taking issue with her word usage typically snotty and condescending.

Then you missed the point and the joke.

 

[ClimateSanity]

No. I don't have time, and I'm pretty sure you have a good enough memory to know my memory is correct.

And re: your PS... that goes both ways. As you know. :chuckle:

As it happens, I was interested in what you said in support of Trad's overt racism - and that's why I said something.

She doesn't support his racism. She just doesn't act holier than thou over it and knows its just one of many sins no matter how grave it is. By the way, I bet you can find many people of several races that trad would rather not deal with. He would prefer the intellectual ivory tower sort except for those of the busy body liberal tradition we find in abundance here. He enjoys his small enclave. As long as no one suffers, live and let live.
