Wow, Tour ... for someone who likes to cast aspersions about the flaws he looks for in others, you sure are quick to label others as homosexuals, now aren't ya? 
You know what, Tour ... when I came on POPE, yesterday, my intent was to engage you in some worthwhile conversation without any particular agenda in mind. BUT, just because I asked a simple, unassuming question, you immediately allowed your personal paranoia to make you suspicious of my motives and got increasingly belligerent over nothing. Your immediate negative reaction ... in spite of the fact that I did not take any shots at you when I appeared on POPE ... makes me think you and I have crossed swords before, even though "Tour" and "Beldin" (sorry, "Machiavelli") have no previous history. It was also quite interesting that you very quickly felt the need to retire to FFFT for emotional support from clo. Hmmm ... do we know you under another, previous moniker Tour?
As for some of the attitudes that are displayed in regard towards blacks on this and other boards, yes ... I believe some of the statements are over-the-top and indicate a disappointing lack of regard for our fellow human beings just because the color of their skin is different. There have been a few instances in the past when I have chastised posters for over-the-top racial comments, but I generally choose to do what more people should be doing - ignore such comments and ignore the poster. It may not be the combative style you prefer, Tour, but if I choose simply to reduce my interaction with that person rather than get all demonstrably agitated, that's my call ... but it's still a response ... and if that's not animated enough for your taste, too bad. However, not all comments are created equal ... and not all of the posters you wish to generically white-wash are the same, either, Tour. Just because someone points out errant behavior that has become de rigueur for many in the black community and their leaders does not mean that someone is a racist ... but, of course, that is how leftists reflexively respond because they emote rather than think.
