Replying to a comment on:

When a tiger's ripped your arm off and six have opened your belly head and heart all wounds now old and scarred then anything looking like a tiger makes you wary to say the least I am not a tiger as you suspect but only look that way an appearance I cannot change and you could know it too if you'd let me have some time But you cannot allow the risk and I will not pursue So warily we eye each other til someone makes a move

Everyone who has said this arguement is silly is right. And they are right because Alchemy is right when he says god make dictionaries, let's use them. As long as some of you keep making up your own definitions of "race," the discussion muddles in a Tower of Babel, and can no more be resolved than such a tower can be built.

So, sticking with the dictioinary, Missourians, Muslims, converts and cockneys are not races. When our dark friend said he is racist against cockneys, I made the arguement that he is really racist against the predominant race of cockneys - his own race, no doubt.

And his slander of negroes, the most different race from his, is projection of deep feelings of inadequacy in his race, and mine too I could add. He projects he guilt onto the most different race from his own, like a woman sometimes blames all men for her faults.
