RIP Muhammad Ali

You are more than welcome and no need to personally be offended or to defend yourself.  Your credentials seem very impressive.

As you may have discerned, my Vogue 65 refers to my time in Milwaukee, that is the mid 1960's as Vietnam raged and Mohammad made his courageous stand against the war.  That is the context of my original statement and I had no intention of bickering over the use of a term.  Nice to know that it was acceptable in the 1960's and 70's, thanks for the lecture on proper semantics in the black community today.

While I may have no idea about what is acceptable speech in your neck of the woods, you have no idea what life was like in the Vietnam years.  That is unless you were around then, as you say, I have no idea of your personal life, as you have no idea about mine. 

Of course one could claim to be well read and know the history, but that is another thing entirely.

Oh, and while were at it, being a boss, employing people and making charitable contributions is different from being a member of an extended family, having blacks in ones family, or simply being a true friend.  BTW, how do you do with the black dialect?

You are right, it is different.  That's why I enjoy my friendships so much, regardless of race.  Going to Hawaii, Orlando, Europe, or just the river, etc with families of diverse ethnicities, races, creeds, etc.  Or my son's continued relationship with a young lady who is Asian.  Who knows how that will turn out, but if love is strong and it works out then I will be thrilled.

This is why when you guys play high and mighty with race and you hurl insults and call people racist, it is pathetic.  I'm sure you understand.

And yes, that term is no longer acceptable.  You are welcome.

This may be one of the most embarrassing threads in Scoop history.

As soon as MU82, Mutaman and Brandx made it about race....which we knew they would.....it certainly got embarrassing...on them.  Only they made it racial.  Only they saw something that wasn't there.  Only they hear dog whispers, just ask them.  They can hear from miles around and know what people are thinking.  Just ask them.  Super heroes.

Let me guess. You were always the one telling on others at the playground.
