Well I should have researched to be bop and rap music in Australia, because apparently you are saying it's different there, so if you were taking them out and killing them all, it would not be primarily a negro thing??? As we say in the hood in the US PUHLEEZ!

If you read my entire post, you would have seen that i commented that if you were here, the same comment could be heard about the local polititions or reval ARL clubs or interstate cricket teams etc etc.. It is naught but a manner of speach. There is no way known that anyone here takes such comments to heart. If I guilty of anything, it is on a lack of sensitivity due to ignorance of the sociological ins and outs of where you live. That does not mean that you have a god given right to take issue because we in effect speak different languages. IOf you believe that all persons who are not US citizens must make them selves aware of the correct political ways of refering to things, you are in fact stating that this is a US site and tnon US members are 2nd class members. I for one will happily walk from CM if this is the case. Had you pulled me up short and ASKED my terms of reference and if I was refering to litteral issues, this could have been sorted and you would have had an appology for inadvertyantly offending you and any other rap/negro members of CM. I never have in my life made deliberate racist statements and certainly not about African Americans many of whome are more than just friends, but are what I consider family.

I don't expect magnanimity, an open mind and decency from you any longer.
I could actually on some level respect your coming in defense of Pink and taking on the heat, but there is no understanding from me when in whatever coloquialism you use, you indicate a wish to do away with people who look like me. As you accused me, you too could have defended Pink without insulting me and mine.
We do agree on one fact: We have nothing to say to each other. As for blocking you, I take directions from you about as well as Brightspot does.
I cant figure out what you are saying here. I've never had any indication in the past that you expected either magnanimity or open minded decency from me. In fact I dont remember you ever having spoken to me at all. You just dont know me at all or have any idea where I stand on most issues. I may dive in and run a defensive block to try to shield pink or wade in when some one I call a friend is being blasted because that is what friends do where I come from irrespective or ethnicisity. That doesn't mean I'll do the same for everyone who gets flamed untill it gets too bad when common decency dictates I should speak up. The fact that I've never seen you in that situation, means we have never had that situation in common but it does not mean I wouldn't step up if I believed it were the right thing to do. I have no hesitation in stating that if the manner in which I illustrated some comments caused you any distress and discomfort, you have my sincere appology for it was never intended to be other than an example I was using in a very Australian format. You may either accept that or you may not that is up to you. How you react to me is again up to you. I wish you well.
