guyser Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Al Sharpton has never made any division among people using offensive language So your qualifier is "offensive language" is that correct? Therefore, Sharpton has caused "divisions among people" but didnt swear whilst doing it. Oh in that case, all is well then? Quote

Nonsense - If I said you've never killed anyone else's mother - it wouldn't mean you've killed your own mother - that is the worst kind of backward effort at logic no, "offensive language" was not a qualifier - it is the subject of the thread Quote “Most middle-class whites have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to police who are routinely suspicious, rude, belligerent, and brutal” - Benjamin Spock MD
Guthrie Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 every racist remark I've ever heard is dimwitted - doesn't mean every non-racist remark is profound nor does it necessarily mean every dimwit is a racist - just that every racist is a dimwit Quote “Most middle-class whites have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to police who are routinely suspicious, rude, belligerent, and brutal” - Benjamin Spock MD
guyser Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Nonsense - no, "offensive language" was not a qualifier - it is the subject of the thread Umm...shall we look at this again then? You said "Al Sharpton has never made any division among people using offensive language" That says that Al has in fact made divisions, but never using offensive language. Had you left that last part out, then you would be at least grammitically correct. You qualified it not me Guthrie. But then again, Al has made it his life to be offensive. Do you know anything about the Tawana Brawley case? He was as bad if not worse than that idiotic DA in the Duke Lacrosse rape case. Knowingly implicating a innocent person is the evil of all evils. Al is one of the evils of life. Actually your point about me "killing anyone elses mother" does not imply anything. Should you add a qualifier on the back end, as you did earlier, and it read like this..... "You've never killed anyone elses mother....while using offensive language." That would mean I have in fact killed, just not while swearing. Quote

RB Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Posted April 17, 2007 Nonsense - no, "offensive language" was not a qualifier - it is the subject of the thread Umm...shall we look at this again then? You said "Al Sharpton has never made any division among people using offensive language" Well with Imus's comments one could say that most of the stuff that is under controversy is largely opinionated. I mean a court system could not find him guilty of degrading "black women". This is simply because it is an over the top, overly exaggerated comment that cannot be taken seriously. The pressure to apologise (which he did) and the public way he did it qualifies his admitting some sort of wrong. The truth is I am not convinced that those of the "hood" or those associated with the black culture will stop calling the women hos based on Imus's punishment. Quote

Argus Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 My comment: The real racism seems to stem from Rev. Al Sharpton whose double standard on "ho-talk" seems to judge people's remarks based upon the racial origins of the people uttering them. just dealt with that - it simply is a mistaken view. Al Sharpton has never made any division among people using offensive language Yeah, some of his best friends are Jews.....

jefferiah Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Well what Imus said was pretty dumb, but nonetheless I cant figure out why so many people make such a big deal out of it. I do not condone racism but I find it strange that people get so up in arms over racist remarks that have nothing to do with them. The guy is fired. End of story. Like I dont understand why we have to have everybody's two cents on this, from Sharon Stone to Jesse Jackson.
