I've just been reading your posts on which black people are good, and which are not. I still have tons to read. It's odd that a white guy from SLC is so well versed that he can ventriloquist-throw racist statements one minute and tell us which black people are not to be trusted the next.

An insulting broadbrush post like yours is not lashing out, I suppose? merrily Jul 2015 #36

No, it is not. murielm99 Jul 2015 #37

I don't need to attempt to do anything. It's the tone. And it's true. Drunken Irishman Jul 2015 #6
