[QUOTE="LilyWebber, post: 3278928, member: 96807"] Ah, I see. You didn't take the time to think how the timbre of the conversation would be affected by what you posted. You didn't specify a subject so your response, due to the use of the word cracker, will most likely be construed as aimed at minorities. I understand that you might not have ever studied sociology or looked at the social dynamics of rioting, but posting in the manner you did below and the things you've been saying throughout this thread made me wonder. Now, being a nice guy, I gave you the benefit of the doubt by asking. Your emotional and somewhat knee-jerk reaction seems a bit ironic in lieu of how you wish to classify the protesters. Perhaps not racist but poorly worded and sensitive. Happy? Martin wasn't a protester though so by using his words in allusion to the protestors, you made your first logical leap from reality. Speaking your mind is fine, but hopefully one would do so after a bit of thought, deliberation, and perhaps discussion with others before saying something you might regret. For example, have you discussed this with any of your minority friends or colleagues? Did that discussion lead you to any different understanding? [/QUOTE]
