[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 250650, member: 1640"] Putting that explanation with the video might have helped. As it was, it was a non sequitur. We were talking about the experience that other people have. Since I am not black, it behooves me to use a certain amount of empathy (translation, get out of my own political mindset) to actually hear an experience that is different from mine. To post a video about some white woman I do not know made no sense at all to me since the topic was the experience of black men, who, statistically, are treated differently from other groups. Instead, when I voiced my puzzlement over what the video had to do with the black experience you simply said that my previous post wasn't about anything, implying it was trivial or unimportant. Really? Then you decided to launch into your diatribe about the Washington Post article I had posted several days ago. You had already warned me, before you read it, that you were going to disagree with it. But when you finally shared your disagreement I noticed that you found one paragraph that you thought was suspect and then used that to discredit the whole article. Never mind that I had already established that this article was not an outlier but fit with multiple studies from multiple sources. I agree with 90% of what you say on most things you post on this site. But, and I am sure you are aware that you have heard this before, there is a mean streak in you that is a mile wide. I am not sure where that comes from, since I do not know you. But in the article that you had already decided not to like, you took that one paragraph and then said in so many words that anyone who believed that article just didn't measure up intellectually and you could not take them seriously. Really? That is the way you want to argue? Your level of ridicule on this site really is unseemly for a grown man. You sometimes simply resort to LOL or smdh. When someone posted a graphic on global warming recently I believe your only response was lol. That was it. I could give you several more cases in point but I am sure you will take none of this to heart and will fall back on your pet phrases like "liberal fundamentalist." I have tried to resist name calling with you. But frankly, I sometimes have a hard time separating you from the kinds of sources you link in your arguments. You linked some source a long time ago that claimed that the government was giving huge amounts of money to support the global warming hoax.
