Members Wales2004 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 If you think I'm righteous then so be it. I answered Roman's post: And my response went on to elaborate that the source was Fox News. Had I meant to direct it towards you then I would have flat out said so because I don't have a problem being straightforward. I'm not holding myself out to be an expert so it's merely my observation that you've also demonstrated racial insenstivity. My observation stems from your needing to negate what I said on the basis of race. For you to assume that the only reason to defend someone.....no matter how vigorously you think it might be... is merely because the person may be of the same race reflects an ignorant and short sighted assumption. I realize that this may sound like a personal insult. I don't mean it as an insult. I mean for you to take it into consideration that maybe there's a bit of truth in what I've said and maybe it could help in your interaction with others. I try to learn from others as well and I respect your right to your opinions whether or not I agree with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George008 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yeah right. You guys all use that same excuse to allow for your back handed insults..If I had meant you..I would have said you...blah blah blah..You knew you were talking about me..I was the only one questioning Ifill in this thread..Give it a rest.. You might want to learn how to deal with whites a little more cautiously in the future if your intent is to improve race relations. You cannot make broad general accusations of racism towards an entire news channel or a group of people just becuase they question a black woman. Give me a break.. You were NOT right in doing so..I dont care how many people defend you on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just a funny response on CNN.com from user Karen. . I'm laughing my ass off right now and one of the interns is staring at me like I'm crazy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks for your other post. Basketball is UCLA's sport for sure. I'm taking flak for cheering for the Dodgers since I'm a Yankees' fan but I'm not OTT with it. They have great gear and I love the team but they suck and Alex Rodriguez does not belong. So I decided to root for the Dodgers. I want the Angels to beat the Red Sox but the Angels need to get real with that name. I know it's a marketing ploy but LA really only has one baseball team and it's not in Anaheim. I'm going to go listen to the sports' shows and their blah blah over the Cubs curse later.

Members Wales2004 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 No one needs to defend it because it's true. And I've already said that I don't think every one at Fox News is racist so you're leaping. And I said I didn't mean to insult you. I'm not going to say anything about my race because it's irrelevant but if you want to assume I'm black and tell me how to treat white people then be my guest. I'm sure some of my family members will get a laugh from that as well since I have a diverse family that includes Asians. Whites and Black......all three major races. You can have your big break and keep your hostility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Roman for those of us on dial up (my office won't get DSL lol), can you give us a little preview of what you're linking to? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UCLAN Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 My boss and one of my teacher's are big Yankee fans. I overlook that flaw. I also work with Trojan fans, I tend to overlook that also. But it lends for great comradeship and rivalry here at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've never seen a white person in my life. Why do I need to learn how to deal with any???? This is a joke and I could go on and on and on. You are the funniest person in this thread to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George008 Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 So why even bring up race in relation to Fox News' covering the Ifill book, if you dont think everyone at Fox is racist? Why would that even cross your mind...(that she is being questioned because of the color of her skin)..You seemed to be bogged down with racial paranoia..Let me inform you, this is not a solution to the problem that you so adamently speak out against...Neither is, especially, making unfounded judgements about racism towards Ifill. Let me rephrase..when you refer to a group of non-blacks as being racists for questioning an unethical woman, and saying they did it only because she is black...You will offend whites that are not as cultured as those in your family....You can keep your race a secret..I don't really care..I was just wondering..if my assumption was a "stretch" as one had said. You most definitely will receive hostility in return when you lump me in with racists.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
