If I named you incorrectly as one of those at fault in this situation, then I apologize. I don't really have the patience (or the liver) to wade through much more of that fiasco and straighten out exactly who said what to whom. All I can say for sure is that fouls were committed by both sides, and unfortunately, the fact is we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard of behavior because we're fighting the uphill battle. That's the way it is. When the blacks were fighting for civil rights in this country, their leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told them that they had to behave twice as well as the white man in order to earn any respect. And it's the same for us. When we rant and rave at them, it only proves (in their minds) that we're the monsters they say we are. It sucks bigtime, but if we want to engage antis head on, we have to be on our best behavior, even though they'll hit us with everything they've got. Otherwise we lose even what little credibility we might muster.
So I'm sorry if I pegged you unfairly there, I can't imagine you making death threats. You don't strike me as a hothead. Enigma |
