That's his thing- it all boils down to race or sexual orientaion."
If that's all you got out of my postings, and failed to understand what I posted and why I posted what I posted..then , you can easily understand why I would look at you with jaundiced eye.
With me, it is never about race or orientation
, as I have lived in this skin for the last 54.75 years, and perfectly understand the difference between ignorance and the willingness to become "less ignorant" as opposed to contempt for me as a fellow human being, with the audacity to exhibit slightly more melanin in my skin, and keeping with the status quo (belief in white superiority and privilege). When the latter rears its' ugly head....I go off, and I make no excuses...it's goddamy 2007.75, and high time to put the B.S. behind us...except for the atmosphere that Bush didn't create, but exacerbated.
As for orientation...give it a rest....why should anyone care who I'm doing, or who's doing me, as long as it isn't "you". And why should anyone care that if I so desire, I can will my meager assets to whomever I want to...and if I'm holed up in a hospital bed, unable to make my own decisions, that someone who knows me and loves me, can make those decisions for me, under the law, the same as your conniving wife, or your philandering husband, can make for you, given similar circumstances?
And the conversation wouldn't even come up for discussion if people were circumspect and responsible for all the crap they say. My private life is not table or forum conversation...but when someone starts to tell me that I need to be ashamed...that I should hide somewhere...that my God is somehow less than their God, oh but I'm gonna be punished much more than they for my wickedness, while they enter the pearly gates with pats on the back...and that I should be thankful for the microscopic "piece of the pie"...after all, the refugees of Darfur and the little towel heads in Iraq would love that little microscopic piece of pie, so don't get too high and mighty, because said piece can be "yanked" at any time, you ungrateful n....., you......well, excuse me if I go off. And if I'm a little over the top, it's merely to illustrate a point.
Get out of yourselves for more than 2 minutes, and try to see things from another perspective..pigs will fly
