So...help me out here...

I saw a thread here Mon or Tues, that I thought was "buy back", so I ignored it
Well...it was "Buy Black". So. Help me out here.
To start with, I hope I have called enough of the dumb-* racists (redundant) around here funny names often enough to get my point across- I don't care for racism.
This Buy Black thing is a "experiment" according to the papers. Folks literally buying from black merchants and black owned/operated locations if possible. I have this part straight correct?
In other words, patronizing a shop by choice because of the color of somebody's skin, when the choice can be made. To put it another way, because of the ethnic background or race that establishment is "perceived to be". Um. Yeah... Whatthebloddyfingbluebabyjesusonahoppeduphockeystick is fing going ON?
This is racism. The ideal behind it doesn't matter. Discriminating against people because they are not of the race you care to help out is RACISM by definition, and it is also exclusing people of the race you don't care to help out because of their race.
This is no different than a cracker refusing to stop a gas station run by a black guy, becasue the cracker doesn't like to help out blacks, and instead will go out of his way if he has a choice to patronize a gas station run by another cracker
And the media will not call this Buy Black thing a racist event
I just want to make sure I understand this all before I pop a clot in my brain and die. I'd hate to look at God and say "what the bleen" without knowing the whole story

I would say you have it correct.

Yeah, took me a second look (or three) to understand this one.
ROFLMAO!!!!!
So I also read it was at least in part because some empowered dummy has decided that its not right that after 400 years, they are not in positions of X Y or Z, and they are entitled to being store owners, etc
Entitled to that, mind you.
Who has been talking to these folks? It's more than the Sharptons and the Farrakhans. How have these (hopefully) otherwise intelligent people been so fully convinced of their Divine mantle of Victimhood and Entitlement?
Are there Two Americas? The one I was taught about, in which you make your own future, and the other America, in which the trials of your Anscestors make you entitled to things?
Last system I heard about that used the events of your Ancestors to determine what you get now was the Feudal System.
All the lawyers and the other carrion beats of opportunity need to be force-marched into the sea, right now

Anytime you feel bad enough, bring it.
I agreed with you until that uniformed remark. I fight in the trenches every day for the rights afforded by the Constitution of the U.S.
Beasts of opportunity. Hope you never need one of us "Beasts of Opportunity."

So is this where we prove our manhood by posturing, right? I'd think a lawyer would know better
You can cool your baby jets any time you like. Or not. We both know that frivolous litigation is the bane of existence and also is what seems to spread these BS entitlement issues, so don't defend it to me, OK tough guy?

More uniformed BS. Frivoulous lawsuits are the exception, not the rule, but I'm sure you know that from all your trial experience. Also, a lot of lawyers do not practice in the civil arena. Wanna kill them too?
Your comment on lawyers shows the EXACT prejudicial mindset you rue in your original post.
By the way, I choose "or not."
This attorney walks into a bar see and then
he talks to this lady who is wearing a lamp shade see
and ......
Never mind
Gee guys Not all lawyers are bad, not all crackers are bad and not all
Never mind
Aw gee golly don't tell me we can't tell Lawyer jokes I dont want to upset Manefesto guy but Oh well

Quit speaking logically.
By the way, I like lawyer jokes. Don't like threats or suggestions of murder.
How are a lawyer and a sperm cell similar?
They both have a 1-in-a-million chance of becoming a human being...
Some may take offense to that.
Ever since Sep 11 i try not to get gas from Arab stores. Its not right to do this its just that i cant see any money possibly going to terorrist. Just my 2 cents. Hell just cause they work there dont mean they on it.
I DONT LIKE HOW GAS IS ONE PRICE 2.OO A GALLON IF YOUR USING CASH AND ANOTHER PRICE 2.25 A GALLON IF YOUR USING CREDIT ITS LIKE YOUR BEING FORCED TO USE CASH BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THE MONEY,WHICH MEAN THEY CAN SEND IT BACK HOME FOR WHAT EVER THEY USE IT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS,OR THE NEXT TERORRIST ATTACK.AT LEAST THATS HOW SEE IT

Hmmph. You're pretty emotional for a lawyer. I hope you're not this easily riled when trying to make a point while practicing. I'd agree with your hypothesis about prejudice, if I had happened to mention your race. I know its tough, but try to stay focused. Apparently you have never heard of the term 'exaggeration' before. Or are you really up in arms because I want to massacre lawyers and advocate their murder. I bloody well doubt that's your take on it. Grow up
Since I seem to have deeply offended, and my slur against lawyers is such an affront, there's no harm left in asking you the difference between a lawyer and a golf ball.
Give up? One is an object you should whack with a metal club. The other belongs in a hole or at the bottom of a pond. Since you're so superior, you can figure out which is which!
If you dont care for racism then why did you refer to a white person as a "craker"?
Some may take offense to that.
It's called an "illustration". I "illustrated" my point by using the term "cracker". The "illustration" highlights my point, and makes the point more descriptive.
The "illustration" is a useful tool, because it "illustrates" that "cracker's" mindset.
Sounds like he was on the bad end of a judgement, shoulda had a better lawyer.
Sounds like you're making guesses [;)]
I have no problem with folks patronizing whomever they want, for whatever reason they want, I call it VOTING with your dollars. Another way to say, I ENDORSE this company's position on things.........
I guess I just smile and keep on smiling that the words racism don't seem to work in both directions, like democratic congressman caught with kiddie porn gets NOTHING and a GOP senator caught winking at a young page gets run out of Washington.......??/
Arsenio Hall used to say, "that's the kind of stuff that just makes you want to go, h-m-m-m-m-m-m-m".
A man down at the end said "that ain't right. you can't paint everybody with the same brush. it's just wrong."
The guy said " What, are you a lawyer?"
"No, I'm a scum bag."
If they are patronizing because of race, they are also avoiding because of race. It's the exclusionary aspect, the negative connotation that the other races that are represented by shopkeepers are not to be dealt with except by necessity that doesn't sit well with me. Well, that plus the entitlement thing

Me upset? Sounds like you're making guesses...[;)] Just because I take issue with a comment you make does not mean I am upset. You don't have that power. Seems you are the one on the rant! Re-read the posts, or have someone read them to you.

Who is guessing? you're a dead giveaway.

Credit companies charge store owners a certain percentage on each purchase for the priviledge of having a swipe machine. So the store owner makes less money if you pay by credit card instead of with cash. That's why they have two prices... it has nothing to do with taxes.
but, about racism, descrimination and negro college fund...
I was turned down by the first medical school i applied to because i'm white.
the gal in admissions told me I was fully qualified but they had to have another minority in that class to be eligible for some kind of federal grant money.
she even asked me if i wanted to change the application and check "hispanic" instead of "caucasion" [:0]
I gues that's descrimination, right?
The OLD test to determine if something is fair- reverse the situation 180 degrees. If it seems unfair from one view, it is from the other.
As far as attorneys- you don't need one, until you need one BAD.
Know the difference between an attorney and a large pizza? A large pizza can feed a family of 4......
I always loved it when Harold from the statler brothers would tell this joke....
Without a doubt in my mind, this allows me to do so. But some "expletive deleted" individual sees an opportunity to trash said document and raise doubts on 1700's verbage to the point of trying to convince the general populace that an individual was never granted said right, only a militia.
I say damn all lawyers except those that fight to UPHOLD the constitution, rather than tear it asunder.
The time is coming for a militia to once again form to provide security to our populace and the REPUBLIC that was formed as the very foundation of this country.
Where are you in this argument?
