This isn't surprising; NAACP is more "mainstream" left-liberal than most black people.

FWIW, the National Civil Rights Museum here in Memphis has had an area about the gays for years. Just like whites, blacks who are more educated and such (like those on the NAACP board) are more supportive of gay rights.

It might be relevant that the gay marriage court cases cited Perez v. Sharp and Loving v. Virginia.

It's "funny" because you define "educated" differently than the guy you're quoting obviously meant it (i.e, the strictly objective sense)?  That is the funniest thing you've seen in a long time?  You must be great at parties

I think he's amused at the notion that a schwarze could, in fact, be educated.

why would you assume that?
but it's nice to confirm that liberals always use the racism card.
no I'm amused by the notion that liberals are better educated then conservatives and that NAACP board members are more educated then other blacks.


personally I'd assume that Memphis is racist.

[Alcon]

I will bet you a free pizza (this is how I bet people online!) that the NAACP board members have more formal education than the average black person, which is obviously what most people mean when they say "educated" in this context.

The fact that you find a sentence "hilarious" when you substitute your own definition for a subjective phrase, which contradicts the original meaning, suggests that you're trying a little too hard.

Dude is one note. Even when no music is playing, he likes to go butting in with a very loud B flat.

He also called me anti-Semitic for being opposed to Kahanism so...

no I called you an anti semite for calling Borough Park fascist.

I define education as knowledge.

So you are arguing that NAACP board members are less knlowdgeable than the average black person?

I definition of education means knowledge.

"Education" differs from "knowledge" in that people almost always refer to systematized or institutionalized instruction.  You've obviously lived long enough to figure out how to use the Internet, so I assume you've noticed "education" has this connotation for people.  (You also inexplicably seem to believe the same does not apply to "knowledge.")  In other words, you find this "hilarious" because you substituted what you had to know was a different-than-intended sense of the world.  You managed to be condescending, dismissive, disingenuous and humorless in one sentence flat.

I haven't run into you before, but I hope you are not this ridiculous in other topics.

[Napoleon]

Alcon, I think Mr. Moderate's post sums NY Jew fairly well; he is ridiculously homophobic, eager to label others anti-Semitic, and not much else.

I would argue they are avg at best.

I know several people who dislike that usage as well, although probably for a radically different set of reasons to yours. Would you prefer anti-gay?

anti practitioners of homosexuality.

[Marokai Backbeat]

So, you're not opposed, necessarily, to homosexuality.. just the people practicing it?
