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.

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!

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.

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. :lol:

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..

    • I wonder who Andre was thinking about when he was lying in his bed. Kat gives me feels of Y&R early Christel Khalil Lily, and her being a virgin is a throwback to the 1980s prized virgin heroine ie. Y&R Cricket, B&B Caroline, As the World Turns Lily.
    • This "3 Love Stories" episode was like taking a sleeping pill with a bottle of Nyquil. Josh Griffith is writing for 80-year olds with blue hair.
    • I guess in terms of Phillip's woman du jour coming in third behind Beth and Spaulding, that's true. But she sure wasn't either MKA or even Liz Dennehy. Was Bolger still in the role at the beginning of Phillip/Chelsea?
    • -- The coming out stuff was well-written and acted, but can't we at least hear someone tell Chelsea she needs to find a girl (or boy) who isn't frickin MARRIED? How is that not a huge fail on her part? She was willing to wreck a marriage to get herself a new boo. -- Dani can't have it both ways -- wanting Andre when she wants him but not wanting a relationship. He needs to leave her dry. -- The Dani/Pamela kiss was a plot device, but I get why they did it. I still think Cady McClain is overacting like crazy. -- Sean Freeman is good as Andre, but geez, his expertise on how relationships work is hard to listen to. He is not that guy. -- Ashley continues to be horribly written and badly played. I've grown to really dislike the character to the point of supporting Derek. -- The closing montage with Ashley and Derek looking at their phones was cool out of context. In context? We just saw Naomi lecture Derek about what to say to Ashley and how to move forward. So why in the hell did he go back to the fire station? Why not go back home? Made no sense. -- The writers are not giving Hayley enough. She's islanded. -- The Leslie/Eva scenes are still great. We get to see this complete mind control that Leslie has over Eva. We know that everything Leslie says is selfish and incriminating and awful, yet it's easy to understand why Eva falls for it.
    • Imagine having to do that in one take 
    • I can't remember who or how many people here have said it, but thanks to this site, I can't not think of the Nurse's Ball as akin to a school talent show.
    • It’s a 2025 spin and meshing of both. I love that it also makes her stand out in comparison to all the other women. Like she and Chelsea could not have more differing styles. I applaud the costume designer.
    • Am I the only one that fast forwards the Nurse’s Ball performances? I watched one year and it was the most cringe thing I’d ever sat through. In general I hating singing and performances on soaps, especially bad ones.
    • And both knew how to dress.  I feel Kat is a good mix of both.   
    • I wonder if Xander will mention Sarah's history of mental illness in determining custody?

      I understand that she has the upper hand now, but if Philip refuses to name his assailant, that won't last for long. Although, it would be odd if two characters are complicit with their attackers.  Yet, as Brady mentioned regarding the baseball bat incident from a few months ago, Xander has gotten away with a lot.  It is almost like he is a billionaire who is above the law. I assume we're meant to hope Xander and Sarah get back together, but today showed that there are just as many reasons for them to stay apart.
