Also, you're new here, so I should point out that the first of many (lol) accusations of racism was based on the fact that I said Darius Walker was the most eloquent member of the team. Another member who I'd had confrontations with before decided that was a perfect time to argue that I was being condescending to the guy by giving him that label. I didn't see it that way, but he did.
As for the thread where I said I thought Talley was a thug, I was probably in the wrong. You see, I thought he had come off as a jerk in one interview and so I assumed he was a Miami-type "football-first" kind of guy. Thug is a pretty loose term around here and it doesn't have any racial connotations.. maybe it's different elsewhere, but whatever, I won't argue semantics.
All of what I just said completely refutes the idea that I'm racist. A racist wouldn't bother to argue that he/she isn't.
And lastly, I don't really believe in racism. I don't think it really exists anymore, but people are told throughout their educational life how horrible white people are and how "somewhere" racism is ubiquitous. But I've never been to that "somewhere" and I've been through states like Alabama and Mississippi, and I found that the race relations there are a lot less uptight than they are up north. Likewise, I'm betting you're from the north, because northerners throw around the term 'racist' like candy and undermine the power of the word.
