You are missing the point, jlallen. I am not debating your supporting reasons or explanations for your comments, nor why you believe that Blacks deserve better treatment than Whites. You see, you continue to admit that you said that, but attempt to justify, rationalize, and explain your comments. As an analogy, if I were to say, "I believe that honey is better than syrup," that is an opinion. If I were to say, "I believe that honey is better than syrup, because I enjoy the taste more, it is less refined, and it is mostly natural," that is an opinion with amplification. The core point is that I believe that honey is better than syrup. Likewise, we know that you have repeatedly offered explanations for your position in an effort to redirect attention away from the fact that you believe that Blacks deserve better treatment than Whites, which is the core component of your position, but that is not the point that we are arguing at this point. The exchange below very clearly establishes your opinion, followed immediately by an unnecessary and unsolicited amplification that is not in debate at this point. John: "So you admit, once again, that you believe that a White person calling Michelle Obama a 'smelly gorilla' is racist, but a Black person calling George Bush a 'chimp' is not." jlallen: "Yes....for obvious reasons, amply explained previously." --- Your response was "Yes...." That means, "Yes, I admit that I believe that a White person calling Michelle Obama a 'smelly gorilla' is racist, but a Black person calling George Bush a 'chimp' is not." From your admission, it is quite clear that you believe that Blacks deserve better treatment than Whites. It does not matter why you believe that for the purposes of this argument. It only matters that you do.
