    That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that me asking earlier in this thread about why is "edumacate" racist was not meant as an attack on him. It was a simple question.

    Ha!
    You mean here in the forum? There are many teachers that also want the right to be armed. I am not sure all of them voted for Trump.
    It is quite a big deal here in So Cal now with Teacher who want to be armed but the government fighting them.

    Monkey is widely known as a racial slur against black people. We all know this. Nobody would dispute that someone calling a black person "monkey" is being a racist piece of shit.

    "Edumacate" is not a widely known racial slur. Most people have never heard it used that way. So all I was doing was asking you about why you thought it was racist and not just condescending. Also, Hillbilly and redneck are both commonly attributed to white people. If you asked anyone what color they would automatically assume if you said "hillbilly" or "redneck," what would they say? It's a racial slur that people don't really take seriously, and in some cases they just own it, but that doesn't make it any less of a racial slur.

    I don't know what Nate's context was. I don't know if he was talking down to you. I don't know if he meant it to be racist. But just because someone is BEING racist doesn't mean that the word they're using is generally racist, and that was all I was trying to find out and discuss. You keep going back to who said it and what he meant and that has never been my point of discussion. Not once. I only wanted to know if saying "edumacate" was considered racist at its core. If two white people say "edumcate" to each other, are they making fun of black people? That's all I wanted to know.

    That is one of the funnest visions stored away in my memory. Still vivid today, A sailor running flat out through the jungle, clutching is white trousers.
    With huge Samoan in his tracks, shouting some dang thing!

    Two of us standing there watching this, and I know we both were working hard trying to figure out how to not get a part in that scene.

    Cool, so let me ask you, is it okay to make assumptions about people?

    I didn't vote for Trump.

    So is it bigoted to just assume that someone who is pro gun rights is also a Trump supporter? Is it bigoted to also assume that someone who is pro-gun rights is a conservative?

    Should I make assumptions about you and your lifestyle because of one of your beliefs?You're clearly making thinly veiled assumptions about me as a person because of one thing that I believe. What does that say about you?
