Replying to a comment on:

The Man I Love (Free verse) by Dovina

is not the all-American macho, handsome, athletic, rich hunk they’re promoting. My man is the one with his morning coffee pensively pondering a page - clean, but maybe not shaven gentleman, thinker, comic. He can be a bit fat or maybe too thin homely perhaps or drift with the wind. But if his words rest like pillows and he understands mine if he knows what I mean and when I get him, grins then his car doesn’t matter his face can be scarred he can have a few habits and nights with the boys because I’ve got what I want and he knows it.

“Racist” is one of those ugly words we use on people we don’t like. It’s almost like the popular “U R So Gay.” “Racist” can mean anything from a mild preference or dislike to strong feelings of hate and desire for physical harm based on race. Many of your comments in the past, and those of some of your English buddies have bordered on, if not blatantly asserted, the latter. It was with this background, not just the recent babble here, that I called him a racist. Of course, it’s possible you guys are just playing with words here on poemranker, having no intention of revealing your real feelings toward other races, in which case my “racist” attack is also a play with words.
