Sorry, which post are you referring to?

Who's has the racist thinking now my friend? I'm not calling you a racist - just pointing out an irony of sorts. I was accused of it by you just because I stated precisely what is going on in this big REAL world of ours regarding race on all sides. Now you are saying black people look at you strangely - and presumably - with malicious intent, and you don't buy high end cars for this same reason. Well, here is a real world statistic for you in Nassau - your high end car is less likely to be stolen than the cars that car thieves can more easily strip down and sell parts for or use in the commission of an offense. After all, it is harder for a Jaguar or Mas to blend in to the crowd of cars on our streets than a Honda. I note that you have since added more to your comment than when I first replied, which I didn't get to respond to. I am curious. What looks do you get that make you feel uncomfortable and fearful of being a victim of a crime? I ask because perhaps I should look out for these same types of looks.

ha! is he or she? Do not know his or her identity, hence my query.

Sir or ma'am, my concern is not about the PLP. I don't care about them or what people think about them. I clearly spoke about your comments directed at persons here, not your comments directed at a political party.

You said: You were quietly arguing that black on white racism is somewhat acceptable and I said that it is not. Racism, period, is unacceptable.

I am asking you how myself, a white person, could logically and rationally make such an argument? And no, I did not need to state up front my race - but you made an assumption about it. Ask yourself why you did, and then see if what I raised in my initial posts makes any more sense to you than it may have initially. I ask that respectfully by the way, I'm not seeking to be pejorative.

I don't think I feel any more unsafe in Nassau than anyone else of any color as far as I know. Is there evidence that criminals are targeting whites over blacks? Is there evidence that if a white person is a victim of a crime, a black alleged assailant will not be arrested, charged and convicted if guilty? If not, then what would be the reason for feeling unsafe based on race? What are you basing your assumption on regarding white people being targeted more for violent crime than black people in Nassau?

Also regarding birdie, unless he edited his post, Majority Rule is not mentioned therein.

I still want you to explain to me how a white person is saying it is acceptable to be hated because of my color. I'll wait.

For those of us who love to feast on what we are told about US elections so much that we confuse ourselves into thinking we are like them, remember then-Senator Obama's first presidential campaign? He didnt present himself as a black candidate, but he of course was. And when the time came, he didn't run away from race issues pretending they do not exist. He addressed them head on when he and his campaign deemed it appropriate to do so. Now, US elections are not as simple as the vote of the people, but that being said, the candidate at the time did not get up and declare that race issues no longer exist and that most Americans did not see color, because he knew that was not true, regardless of what color category one fell into. Understanding race issues is not condoning racism, it is understanding the different mindsets and dynamics at play, because the only way to effectively begin to address a problem is by understanding it.

Majority Rule Day is not a cultural event, but let's deal with the larger issue you raised. Is it less safe for white people in Nassau than black people?

You have called at least two persons here, including myself, racist and/or accused them of such. The fact that you are now pretending not to have done so is again, typical. I've never been PLP in my life and don't plan to be, but that did not prevent you from making the laughable yet typical accusation. Am I still racist against white people if I too, am white?!
