All I was doing there, poppet, was agreeing with Larry. Nothing more, nothing less. No point in making my own post since he said everything that needed to be said.

Stop overreacting.


Do you seriously think it is an overreaction when you call someone's post out on a separate thread and then when they respond you refuse to say anything about the whole of the post? Larry's comment was with respect to one phrase, an expression which was half wrong at worst. Don't call out someone's post, call them a poppet, then expect whatever reaction they have to be an overreaction.

Obviously, you're a little to proud to admit that what I said was right and that the commercial wasn't racist at all. I think Larry's point addresses my poor phrasing, but doesn't address the legitimacy of what I said, that is, it doesn't address the FP.

And really, poppet? Who's resorting to insults now? Sounds childish to me.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here - 29/03/2010 07:46:15 PM 801 Views

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to. - 29/03/2010 08:46:26 PM 835 Views

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words - 22/03/2010 10:00:02 PM 829 Views

Could you please expand on one point in your reasoning? - 23/03/2010 07:20:31 AM 868 Views
It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races. - 23/03/2010 07:32:33 AM 1100 Views

Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view. - 23/03/2010 09:24:23 AM 840 Views

Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race. - 23/03/2010 11:51:06 AM 1105 Views
I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted. - 23/03/2010 02:33:34 PM 811 Views
