First, it is re-assuring to see that CARLHAYDEN feels the need to personally attack me.  Clearly he has nothing better to do!

Second, he implies that I am a "space cadet", when in fact I made it perfectly clear that I am already far more successful in the field of space exloration than my peers.

Third, insert rebuttal #37-B here

Fourth, It is not suprising to see CARLHAYDEN resort to personal attacks to make his nonseniscal point!

At least you're consistent...

Its so typical of you to omit the original absurd assertion of yours to which I responded.   Or are you still "in orbit"  in the "NASA flight program" and the oxygen has been depleted?

Now either your original assertion was "nonsensical," or perhaps you will explain why you omitted it from the response?  Trying to remove the context?

First, the only "absurd assertion of yours" is yours!  Perhaps it is you who is the one who has suffered from the depletion of oxygen which often occurs in space flight.

Second, the deletion of my initial post was perfomed in order to conserve space.  And I should certainly know about that!  As my colleagues in NASA would certainly tell you, along with former Senator John Glenn no doubt.

First, I think it's time you stop dodging the question and deleting content, "space cadet."

Second, I notice this spacey "space cadet" is even worse than looney crackpipe Lunar LOL.  Your brain sure seems as empty as "space" lately.

Third, I notice you resort to personal insults instead of substance.  Hardly surprising!  LOL.

Well, at least Lunar is consistent.  Consistently wrong!

Dude, NOT COOL.  Below the belt.  It always gets me.  It raises my hopes about being consistent and then transforms into a slap across the face as I learn that my consistency is less impressive than it would otherwise appear.

I am pleased to see that you agree to being "less impressive", although I doubt you would be capable of a "slap" "below the belt", unless it were onto your own drug-addled self!  I've no doubt that would "raise [your] hopes"!

Widespread?  No, does that mean bigotry against whites doesn't happen?  Of course not, but bigotry against whites happens far fewer than bigotry against blacks, hispanics, etc.

[ChrisJG777]

Now where did the notion that there's widespread bigotry towards whites come from then?  Sure you get people harbouring such sentiments, you get them everywhere, but right now in the USA, I sincerely doubt that it's anywhere close to widespread.

Ever been in a black community?

And your point being?  Any presumed anti-white bigotry in those places would be localised, not widespread (and that's assuming that there is any in any particular community too).

[??????????]

What's your definition of widespread?

[ChrisJG777]

What's your definition of widespread?

Nationwide, put simply.

Understandable, but I think most people don't think of things like that on a national level. Especially in such a large country as the USA.

original post guys

Take it upon yourself to determine what "widespread" consists of.

[Earth]

That's way too vague. Could we say the opposite then; racism towards blacks in the modern era is nationwide? Does it mean because it's found in Maine and Washington we could say it's 'widespread'? I doubt, either way, we could be that knowledgeable.

"Widespread" being in the OP fucked everything up.

I did say "put simply", and even when posting I couldn't help but think that it's quite possibly an oversimplification.  But generally, my point is, bigotry towards whites, whilst it does happen, it's not an overly common occurrence that's worth making news over.

[Eraserhead]

LMAO No

[bgwah]

Yes.

I'm having trouble understanding why people are saying "no"?

Well, I don't think it's widespread but a lot of the no votes (I didn't vote) come from handwringers.

and people who apparently don't live around large populations of African-Americans.

Clearly

I don't think anyone would call me a racist but I must say that it is hilarious to take race lectures from rich kids in the suburban Pacific Northwest, for example, who will probably see as many blacks in their lifetime as I'll see in a day.

Tell me more about your daily contact with African Americans. I am truly curious.

Exactly.  I'd love to have some of them come down to Memphis and listen to black radio.  A gay man called into the show hosted by a major Democrat activist and the host called him a "f****t" over and over again and said that all homosexuals are going to hell.  But of course that's okay because he's a Democrat and a part of the precious protected class of dark-skinned people.

Yeah, it's almost like these hypocrites' only contact with blacks is through forms of media like TV and radio---oh, wait.

Are you really unfamiliar with where I go to school? How about the city I live in/where I hang out? We've been over this before. I'm not lecturing anyone, saying that I'm some expert in race affairs. I'm just tired of kids in lily white suburbia acting like they know so much more and have lived, worked, played, etc. in diverse areas. You've said the same thing about handwringers in Vermont.
