Do you realize that Polack is an ethnic slur for Poles?

And what the fuck is the point for singling them out? What about the group that actually has political power in this country, white folks? They're the ones most responsible for Prop 8 and this Arizona bill. Fucking A.

You're clueless because you don't perceive the context that your words are in. Calling black folks clueless is a not a neutral thing for you.

And you'd come off just as clueless then as you do now.

I don't think you're a racist, but the language you used was a little over the top. And I think you made some assumptions. But yes, there is a tendency towards social conservatism in the black community, mainly because of religion.

Yeah, and Latinos oftentimes have as negative an attitude against blacks as blacks often have against Latinos.

Blame capitalism and the system, not oppressed minorities.

Listen pal, black folks are fairly well put upon in this country, and they don't possess political power. While it's true that African-Americans tend towards social conservatism, they do not represent the main thrust of reactionary politics in this country because they are a put upon and disenfranchised minority. It's a bad move to go after them.

A white dude (me) interested in busting a cap in whitey is really stupid humor. But I feel like your post has some seriously racist undertones, and you could have approached the topic in a much better way to avoid sounding like an anti-black nutjob. (which I don't think you are)

Yes, now you mention it, I seem to recall our conversation.
