This doesn't disprove my point. Who spendsmore time in airports? (Or: how many panhandlers have you seen on a 747?)

So, let me get this straight...no matter what any non-white human being does, if it's criticized, it's racism?

Again, just because you don't experience racism doesn't mean its "as much manufactured these days as real." You don't know what you're talking about.

There's some white dude on a Deadspin thread who's all like "me and my white friends aren't racist so black people should stop whining—they're making the ghost of MLK sad!" (Seriously: this is not that far off from what he's saying.) Might be dismissin' time!

So what I see here is that (1) you're ignoring my point and (2) equating an overall decline in racism with its disappearance. Strong take, bro.

Oh, wait. I googled it.

There's a dismiss button?!

It's a bad analogy. No matter how many walls of text you erect, it's a bad analogy. (And if you have to fall back on calling it 'hyperbole,' then you admit that the words you've chosen reflect an intensity lacking in the 'problem' you're trying to describe.)

to accuse 85% of Americans (who are white) of being racist is...obscene. It's simply not true. It just isn't. If it was, I'd run into huge amounts of it every day.

I would suggest this isn't completely ridiculous. Plane tickets aren't so inexpensive, so it could be indicative of, say, class privilege.

Of course, Deadspin/the rest of the white-guilt media wouldn't have immediately scanned Twitter for evidence of racist tweets from the black community.

Meh. Smarter friends are overrated; with them, you gotta have all these sophistamucated arguments if you want a real discussion.

1. beswick.flona has a solid relply.

I read those replies, but I still think it's very imprecise. Firstly, because you're making a presumption as to what a married man might be feeling if his spouse cheats and secondly, because you attributed that sense of betrayal to every platonic male friend in that position (which also seems like an unsubstantiated…

As if he should simply withstand to urge to eat, or drink, or sleep, or have sex, whilst in your presence.

Someone talks about being sexually assaulted and this is how you respond? GO FUCK YOURSELF FOREVER. Troll or no, you are an unbelievable asshole.

I wish I'd scrolled down before adding my snark-ass two cents. You handled it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

"cuckolded"

You are wise. I have myself been what you have described as a "goon," plowing through hints that a socially skilled person would have easily noticed.
