>>. inode, I just mentioned those comments that you made because they are essentially "racist" terms. Saying that someone, anyone, is childish or impudent, is a racist usage? Could you please provide a link reflecting some critical link between these terms and any remotely racial overtones? Because I've spent mist of my life in the Deep South where we're understood to all be racists, and in my life I have never heard either of those words in a racist context. To put it in perspective, can I assume that, like me, you will be supporting Ben Carson as the Republican candidate? Since Condi Rice, my first choice, isn't running? I would argue that your refusal is inherently racist. Okay, so you can see how fucking idiotic your claim us, right? It is absurd to try to connect those two words with a racist meaning. Beyond stupid. Because there is no connection and I really doubt you can produce even a single incident where there is nexus with any racial connotation.
