How true, how true. Have you seen that Tony Sinclair dude in those Tanqueray ads? Makes you feel good to be white again don't it?

No. Blacks only sound like that when they imitate English people. The English make white Americans look black. When blacks imitate white Americans they sound like nerdy scientist.

Prove yourself. The next ten black people you see walk up to, hold up your hand (high 5 style) and say "Whatup my nigga" then report back your findings (as soon as you get out of the hospital).

When black people try to imitate white Americans, they become transvestites. I do find that insulting.

But when black people try to imitate whites (English) they do things like wear top hats and say things like 'Gosh it is eleven, we must surely be taking tea'. Don't you find that a bit insulting.

Hey, ace accusation. No, wait - that's exactly what I've been saying since the beginning. What I've also been saying: 1) People who worry about defining race or whether definitions of race are "any good" are racist; 2) Even you can agree a perfectly good definition of race is "something racists are racist against". -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I.: "I'm racist against Cockneys". Do the math. 3) What the fuck is ANY definition of race "good" for? YOU: to make it easier for people to categorize things. ZODIAC: Any arbitrary category (ie, Things That Hurt When You Bite Them; Things That Rhyme With Poo) makes it easier for people to categorize things. The real question is, So the fuck what? 4) All of this is moot because you haven't retracted 'the black race is the most different from the white race.'

I have never doubted that you are a racist. "Genetically poor" is an interesting term, possibly even true.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 81.151.150.39	1-Nov-05/4:48 PM
As anyone who has met one knows, Cockneys are genetically poor, thick, and uncouth. Thus even by your definition of race I'm a racist. Look, there are basically five characteristics defined by a person's race: (1) Smell (2) How brown they are (3) Whether or not they eat disgusting foreign food (4) Stupidity (5) Physical and moral excellence (or lack thereof)

If I were black, yes, I would be flattered by whites imitating blacks, even if it's only a stereotype of blacks. Transvestites' trying to be like us, even if flawed, is appealing. Am I demented?

Re: a comment on I don't rhyme enough, eh? by Niphredil	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	1-Nov-05/2:47 PM
Compare this to: Should blacks be flattered by whites who try to be like them or just insulted because what the white imitators are trying to be is a stereotype? If the latter then how well does it reflect on a black person who is flattered by the white imitators?

Standard College Dictionary, Harcourt, Brace and World: Race: "One of the major zoological subdivisions of mankind, regarded as having a common origin and exhibiting a relatively constant set of genetically determined physical traits. On the basis of the more commonly used criteria such as pigmentation, hair form, epicanthic folds, facial and bodily proportions, mankind has been divided into primary stocks or races, each of which is regarded as including a varying number of ethnic groups. According to some, the primary stocks are the Caucasoid, the Mongoloid, and the Negroid. A number of groups, such as the Polynesian, are of doubtful classification."

I don't see how it could be unflattering to me, but certainly I don't want to be unflattered. His escape might have been from the harsh reality of manhood, a condition he felt trapped in.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	1-Nov-05/1:22 PM
Webster's New World Dictionary: Race: "any of the different varieties or populations of human beings distinguished by a) physical traits such as hair, eyes, skin color, body shape, etc.: traditionally, the three primary divisions are Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid, although many subdivisions of these are also called races b) blood types c) genetic code patterns d) all their inherited characteristics which are unique to their isolated breeding population."

I think my roomate became a transvestite to escape the harsh reality he was brought into. To delve any further into it's meaning, I think would be unflattering to you and them.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	1-Nov-05/1:00 PM
You define "race" so nebulously that the word carries no meaning. Only by holding the traditional "physical charisteristics" test is the word any good. Ms. Dictionary says so. And If you wish, you may add the words "I think" a dozen or more times into the above comment.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	1-Nov-05/12:56 PM
Did you ever? Sorry, You left yourself open on that one. Agreed. Most things are made more complicated by it. But most of mankind is lazy and stupid like that.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	zodiac 217.144.7.195	1-Nov-05/12:53 PM
Who are you to say a "modern, contorted" definition isn't as good as a traditional one? (Suggestion: Mrs Dictionary!!!) My point (and -=Dark_Angel=-'s) from the beginning has been that defining races is useless. You're the only one caught with your pants down now.

Yes, lol, that's good advice.
Re: a comment on Racism by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.104	1-Nov-05/12:50 PM
If you wish to use one of the modern, contorted definitions of race, then of course you are right. These broad definitions, including almost any trait, physical or not, in defining races are useless, but politically acceptable. They basically say nothing.
