I think most people don't realize when they say something offensive to an entire race, or denegrate someone based on their skin color or ethnicity. I think most of the time they do or say these things unconsiously. I point them out because I think it is important to know how your words affect others. Maybe you or others will be more sensetive in the future, maybe you won't. Either way my purpose is the same.
If my emphasis on Randy White's last name didn't give you a clue that I was posting slightly tongue in cheek well....
Look people simply must have a sense of humor about things .
Including race and race relations.
The fact that the man looks like buckwheat is of no fault of mine.
Fact is he does hes doing.
And the reason I used Randy White as an example is because he was very good at knocking show boaters on there butt's.
It had nothing to do with his last name it had everything to do with him being one bad MOFO on the field.
Look when I see Jewish stereotypes I sometimes laugh at them
and other times I simply ignore them but the point being is
this country cannot and should not continue to walk on egg shells when It comes to people of color.
Look I have been called every name you can imagine from jewboy to kike to hook nose you name it.
I simply don't let it get to me.
The only thing I do take seriously is the possibility of a hate crime
or an outfit like the KKK gaining any steam or credibility.
Now back to Randy Moss.
I mean come on man you have to admit he does look like buckwheat.
And he is acting like a fool so any negative press he gets he at this point deserves.
Now trying to put myself in your shoes for a moment.
Being the father of bi-racial kids I am sure that you have had to deal with situations that most parents do not.
Having to explain to your kids why some people are ignorant and hatefull it must be hard and I do not envy you at all.
I suppose If I where in you shoes I would just tell them that they are unique in all the world and that they have a purpose on this earth.
And that not all people are ignorant and hateful in fact they will find more people that are willing to show there fellow man love over hate any day.
In closing MT if I offended you in any way I apologise to you.
But please keep in mind that although not the most articulate person I am NO racist.
They say parenthood is the hardest job in the world.
And when you look at the repercussions of doing a bad job the importance could not ring more true.
