    Do you ever even listen to yourself?

    If black people have self-identified other black people as "their people," which they obviously have, then how in the world is it racist for me to do so??

    While I think this is funny/amusing; I don't think it exactly fits the scenario. Regardless, I think the issue has gone on long enough, and I'm going to drop it. Like I said before, Roy has some milk in his chocolate, so "his people" are probably your people as well.:cheers:

    Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

    Your world view is fascinating. Some black people have said that so, in your view, all black people feel that way. Prejudice just runs completely through you. It's amusing.

    I explained that. Since I don't feel like re-writing what I've already said, let me repost it for you:

    A person is allowed to decide who "his/her people" are, if they so choose. You telling someone else who "their people" are is arrogant and, considering the history of the racial divide, insulting when you aim at a minority. It implicitly says that you consider that minority to be a separate people. While one might say it's questionable for members of a minority group to set themselves apart (though, I think it's pretty natural and understandable when they've been embattled for many years), it's definitely inappropriate for a member of the majority group to do it, especially when that majority group has a history of discrimination/oppression.

    You should write to canzano and tell him we are smashing him in this forum. I think he'd enjoy it.

    He'd love it. People reading what he says and talking about it is his life blood. Canzano is probably the most successful columnist in Oregon, to judge from how many angry threads are created about him.

    Stern, Cowherd and Rush all get paid for their hatred. More people listen to them because they want to argue or get pissed at what they have to say.

    Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

    What a strange world you live in. According to you, I guess the Chinese people really aren't Chinese--they're caucasian! And the polynesians aren't really polynesian--they're greek!

    Nobody has "a people." We're all just whatever we think we are, and ethnicity is just a figment of our imagination.

    Yeah, that's the ticket!

    Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

    If a handful of all 'black people' have self-identified other 'black people' as "their people" you think you are justified in ascribing that phrase to the entire population? If one black person says they like chicken, then of course 'they' all must like chicken? Ok.
