In my opinion....the difference between Acl and IM2 is thusly:
I fall down on the sidewalk. Acl passes by, doesn't know me from adam, asks if I am ok and helps me up.
I fall down on the sidewalk. IM2 passes by, doesn't know me from adam, tosses my walker into the street, kicks me for good measures, then yells that I am just an old white woman and then spits on me.
Thats how I see it anyway.
You dont think IM2 would help you up? He is a lot nicer than I am and yes I would help you up.
No. He would not help me up. All he sees is skin color and is angry 24/7/365.
I remember now. You got pissed at me because I said it was an insult to call me a negro. Later on you said I was making you a racist.
Nope. Didn't say it. Never crossed my mind to say it to you anyway. Sometimes I wanna holler at you to get off my lawn..other times I wanna invite ya up for a glass of ice tea. Old age, ya know. We tend to wish and wash, lol. But I never said that to you. Find it, post the link. Otherwise, hush up and come on up for a glass of tea. Tomorrow you can get off my lawn.
Actually..maybe I DID say it. Way back when, there was a tv show called Wipe Swap. This crazy white lady called God Warrior was very religious and everyone was talking about her on that one show she appeared on. Well..later on, she appeared again, but this time, she was swapped with a black wife. The black wife's husband was just like IM2. Racist against all whites...angry, mouthy, obnoxious. Crazy white lady sat there and listened to this guy rant and rave for the 3 days they had to swap and she said something along the lines of never really seeing color before until she met him. For some reason, that stuck with me. So when I see IM2 ranting and raving..I think of the God Warrior lady. The look on her face when she said it...it was like someone smacked her with a pot of cold water. Enlightenment. People like IM2 turn others off that COULD possibly see his point of view if he wasnt spitting rabid foam all over them.
And when you irk me, ACL...I tend to back away but still want to hear what you say after I muse on it awhile. So yeah...maybe I did say that to you. Sorry I doubted you. But yeah..perhaps I did. Then again..maybe I didn't. lol
