Yes, I would have said the same thing if it were about Mexicans. So me knowing that ethiopIANS aren't clearly 'worthless' and knowing much of their history, the origins, etc, etc and saying he's a bigoted SOB make me a bigot? WRONG. There's a clear line between someone who UNDERSTANDS and is able to comprehend a certain people's history and someone who doesn't. I'm not going to point any fingers; there's plenty of them to point out any way so it's not too hard. If you aren't educated enough to understand what exactly you are saying/talking about, I suggest you just don't say it. 'Cause someone like me, who knows a good amount, might have to chime in. I received a pm from him apologizing and I appreciated that. So from what I understand, we're neutral. Good day.
and spooge come's in with the knockout blow!!!!!!!!!!
