No, my point is that saying Detroit is a dangerous place is not racist or classist (or stupid). It is a statement of fact, which you would know had you lived there.

I agree with not opening the door, but do you really think the police will come to your house just because someone is knocking on your door?

Homeonwer: "Someone is knocking on my door."
Cops: "Um.. ok...?"

Again, have you ever lived in Detroit? This paranoia is not based on fear of black people, it is based on what it means to live in Detroit and the surrounding areas. Anyone knocking on your door at 2:30 am there is reason to be in fear for your safety, regardless of that person's ethnicity.

..but do you also live in Detroit every night?

Detroit is NOT like other places. It IS a dangerous place to live. Acknowledging that fact is not racist or classist - it is simply acknowledging a fact.

Have you ever lived in Detroit?

You're thinking of composition gold leaf - the pure gold leaf is much more expensive. But either way, gold on food is dumb.

Typically it will be closer to $100/pack, but still dumb nonetheless.. (the $10 packs are composition leaf made from a mix of metals, not pure gold)

Could you be any more of a racist man-hater?

YOU are the only one who is confused here. You are confused in regards to what you said yourself.

Making blanket accusations based on race, gender and financial status is NOT judging by character. It is judging based on two things they cannot change (race & gender) and one thing they may or may not have earned through hard, dedicated work (and even if they were born into money, that is still not a valid basis on…

Calling this person a fuckwad because of what they said is far less "mean" than what they called all straight white males with money because of the actions of one. However, I do (obviously) whole-heartily agree with the rest of your post.

"If youre a straight rich white dude especially if youre wearing a suit and youre not at work youre suspect. You just fit the asshole profile and i just assume you abuse hookers and pollute the ocean." - seems pretty clear to me. You are a racist man-hater.

Oh, I thought you were "done"?

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen.

Yes, defending your statements is hopeless. Glad I could help you see the light.

Yup. I am not disagreeing with you in regards to the use of telephoto lenses. The issue for me is the reasonable expectation of privacy, say when someone leaves their own curtains open (much of what I find also have the caveat that the subject must be recognizable in the photos as well). Unfortunately, anything I can…

Also - way to completely dodge the issues of making horrible blanket accusations and calling it "making fun of" people who deserve it / actual personal experience vs. 2nd or 3rd hand (and typically selectively reported, misleading, incomplete, biased) information / complete lack of respect for your own family members…

At least I can still recognize things as not being "good art" even if i do like them.
