There seems to be some confusion about if the question of whether or not I am racist is subject to debate. Right up front, allow me to reference
Biloman's retort to accusations that he is homophobic.
Now allow me to reference my response to the blunt accusation that I was a racist.
Caution: Profanity laced rant after the jump
As a result of my diary,
A Point of Personal Honor, I received this response
You are a racist, you just don't know it yet.
And my measured response was: Fuck you you ignorant sack of shit
While omitting an apology for accusing me of being racist, you seem to think the question of whether or not I am a troll is grounds for civil discussion.
Fuck you, fuck your ancestors and fuck every single one of your ever loving scum bag descendants. Allow me to inform you about a simple way of clearing up your confusion. You have only been a visitor to dkos since January. I discovered that profound mystery by clicking on your user name. You might want to try doing the same with my user name. . . . OK, now scroll through the list of my diaries. Don't bother with the list of my comments. It will take too long. . . .
OK. When you get some more time, you might actually read some of my diaries, but for now I think it is clear that you owe me an apology for accusing me of being a racist and an apology for calling me a troll.
I don't give a tinker's damn about your views on immigration, Lou Dobbs or the price of tea in fucking communist China. You accused me of being racist and that makes you a stinking, lying, libelous sack of shit. I used the expressin libelous because you made your accusation in print instead of verbally. If you had slandered me verbally with your accusation, you would now be recuperating in the ever loving mother fucking hospital, because I would have beat your smelly, ignorant black ass into a bloody fucking pulp.
Do you for one second think that your fucking immigrant status and complexion give you some god damn fucking moral superiority over me? Do you for one second think you have some god given right to make assumptions about my character? I suggest you do some serious soul searching and have a serious discussion with any people who you might consider friends about how fucking morally and ethically challenged your assumptions were about me.
You think I'm being rude? You think profanity is out of line? For god's sake man you impugned my fucking integrity and my character. If you want any god damn sympathy from me you will go back and read the god damn fucking links I went to all the trouble to provide. In so many words I accused Armando of being a fucking racist for not only using the word "oreo", but insisting on his right to do so.
You might also click on my 'fighting words" link and ponder your inexcusable moral blindness. There are words and accusations that should never be used lightly unless you want to get your fucking face smashed in and your fucking bones busted, you pathetic, vile disgusting sack of shit.
If you don't have sufficient character to apologize then don't bother responding. You have absolutely nothing to say to me except "I beg your pardon JollyBuddah. I was wrong and I apologize."
Mother fucking case closed.
I am just as capable as anyone else here of engaging in robust discussion about issues that invoke the most emotionally laden and strongly held opinons that I hold, without invective or personal attacks. As you can see, I do not respond well to certain specific accusations. Observant and discerning readers will have already concluded that two of those specific accusations that I do not respond well to are "You are a racist." and "You are a homophobe."
In my humble opinion, Bob Johnson, Eloy and Kenyon all owe me an apology and should engage in some humble examination of the defects of character that compel them to put themselves in a position of moral authority over their fellow man. The same suggestion would be good advice for Rolfyboy6 and alain12, who gave Bob Johnson a four rating for saying "I have no idea whether or not you are a racist." If you don't know if someone is a racist, then the presumption should be that they are not. They may wish to consider a diary I recently put up at MyDD, The Baby Elephant Story
What anybody else thinks about this diary or any of my, shall we say strident, responses to accusations that I am racist is not my concern. If anybody wishes to discuss the situations in which calling somebody a racist is acceptable, be my guest. I raised that question when Armando stated that "Oreo" was an acceptable epithet for Clarence Thomas. I could be wrong.Maybe "Oreo" is an acceptable eipthet or is not as offensive as I believe it to be. If so, and somebody cares to enlighten me, I will gladly apologize to Armando.
Unless you have a very serious problem with reading comprehension, do not expect a polite response to accusations that I am racist or a homophobe.
Any questions?
