But seriously pan, drag it back to the other 2 threads that are about you and at least leave one alone. You know for a guy who says 'this isn't about me' you sure have no problem making every thread that mentions race about you and what you may or may not have been called.
And yet, three pages later, you're still trying to make this about you. About your great attempts to be civil and "change views" - nothing on the fact that you can't fucking get over it. We're on page 4 of thread 4 in which you made yourself the poor martyr being called names.

...See once I'm called a racist and have all these implications thrown at me and put on the defensive.... I just want to rattle cages now.

I tried to get people to see hat this whole Rev. Wright thing would be an issue and that how they answered the charges would help their cause. But I didn't know anything.

I tried to change the way people interact by asking why call people prejudicial names like racist, bigot, etc and not just answer the issues. But I was still doing it for my own purposes (so I was told).

Anyone who has followed my rantings over the years knows I am extremely consistent with my views and posts.

But again, after being called racist, issues minimized and the whole holier than thou attitudes..... I'm going to just say whatever comes to mind and have some fun and here's the secret.... once I was called a racist and those implications made.... I don't care what people think anymore, obviously they haven't a clue as to who I am but they are quick to label. Just kind of recognize it as civil disobedience or place me on ignore and be done with the foolishness.
I'd like to call you out on acting like a twelve year-old whose just been called a doo-doo head, but I don't want to weather another 5 threads where you hopelessly defend against your perception that we've somehow hurt you. When I first saw your posts on TFP, I had a lot of respect for you. When I found out what you did for a living, I had more respect for you. But in the last few days, in the last few posts, my respect has gone from tons to none. Perhaps you should reconsider your approach to these forums. As evidenced by the previous comments, I'm not alone in thinking you've adapted quite well the victim mentality.

If we don't know you IRL (we don't) and we've said something to hurt you, ignore it. You seem to do quite well rationalizing that "we don't know anything about you, so the label doesn't mean anything", but you've not taken the critical step of actually ACTING on that belief and continue to TALK about that belief.
