    Where is SportsBoy anyway? He hasn't even tried to "defend" himself. Not that there's much defense for what he said. Maybe he's at a Klan meeting.

    As a side note, who else was annoyed by Max's pronunciation of Peter Vagenas' last name as Vah-HEY-nas last night?

    The misconception the "Blacks" speak in a certain manner can really lead to some interesting situations.

    Had it happen to myself a couple times.

    But the best story belongs to a friend of mine (who is black and is "well spoken") who was trying to buy a purebred dog from a breeder.

    After talking on the phone with the breeder for about 15 minutes, the breeder finally confided in my friend that this particular dog didn’t like black children. Not children in general. Specifically black children. The breeder had no idea that my friend on the other end of the line was black.

    After my friend let the breeder know, the breeder had a real "oh Allen Hopkins is Black???" type moment. Needless to say my friend was ticked but after a while she was able to laugh at the situation.

    If by "solid" you mean "has a halting delivery, often goes several seconds seemingly having no idea what is going on on the pitch, and acts as if he's done absolutely no homework", then I would have to agree.

    I agree. Some of us really didn't know that Pele was black, must be that Portuguese accent. Sport Boy in particular might find the thread to be very educational. I implore you, move the thread back to where it was.

    I think that you guys should get a grip.

    You made a stupid comment into a five page thread.

    As long as Auriaprottu isn't wearing that hideous tuxedo that Cletus wore to the awards banquet last year, I think all can be forgiven.

    Yeah, Monsta, why you gotta Barneyize evrythang you see? :p

    Seriously, someone posted a very valid question in the last Title IX thread here that you wouldn't allow to be developed. I consdered PMing you about it, but I don't think it would have kept you from using your position to stifle honest dissent.

    Would you rather that we were overly PC and reported this stupid thread to an administrator? The fact that Americans of all colors can laugh and crack jokes at this ignorance without igniting a race war is a good thing, imo.

    Only a true pimp can have goldfish in his platforms, and Auriaprottu as pimpish as he may be, he can pull off the goldfish thing, but Mr. Segroves, you ain't never seen nothing like me. I've gots pirranhas in mines!
