Bullshit, in plain English.
When that guy put up the post in the Forum a couple of months ago complaining about Hispanics littering Prospect Park, did you not ask Mr. B. why he did not vet these types of posts? You were advocating that the post be taken down because he made a disparaging remark about Hispanics.
I see right through the political correctness that is rampant on this thread.
“There are always idiots to be expected in a crowd.”
Disappointing, Benson. Was it not you, on your last farewell to the OT, who chided everyone but a few for not making things personal and attacking their opponent? Seems as though you’ve fallen into the same trap.
I’m your basic American mutt with a little Native American. Most of my ancestors came over in the 1600s, through Plymouth, MA and Jamestown, VA. (Yes, on that/those boats.) My father’s father’s side of the family lived mainly in Eastern MA, and his mother’s side were mainly southerners, VA, TX, etc. On my mother’s side, they were pretty much all later on from IN, PA, and a few other places not too far away. I have no idea if any of those people owned people.
My mother and my paternal gr. mother did our family genealogy. She even has records of some of our ancestors in the 1500s and earlier in Europe. I have books and books of all the records she dug up. It’s fascinating to read and ponder.
“Whether we’ve met each other or not means little to me. ”
I should clarify that. Not specific to you, Benson, I mean all PLUSAs in general. I’ve made some good friends here, but the truth remains is that, by and large, we are all sort of ‘strangers on a train’ so to speak (without the murder plots!). What is said by random folks on a blog will never affect who I am, what makes me tick, etc. I learn from everyone here, I enjoy getting the varying opinions, etc, but at the end of the day, I won’t loose sleep or sprout an extra gray hair over anyone here.
By the way, one last statement, and then I’m done.
The reason I left the OT is not because of what Gem said. There are always idiots to be expected in a crowd. It’s because not one person called her on it. F(*)n political correctness run amuck.
BENSON -for the last time this is exactly what I said
“I find many Italian AND IRISH(my own people) to be rascist – I said that b/c of the arguement we all were having about the mosque and that I found in my EXPERIENCE was that all the people in the crowd shots were white – so I said well many of those folks are probably Irish and Italian and many can be rascist!
THAT’S WHAT I SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I NEVER EVER EVER SAID – “OH Benson you dumb Italian you are a rascist, a horrible Mussolini, a horrible Italian SOB. NEVER EVER EVER EVER did I attack you personally AT ALL! in ANYTHING THAT I SAID – I even went on that day to say “hey, calm down I never called you a racist”
GIMME A BREAK
you ARE sensitive – it’s SO OBVIOUS. you can’t even take when someone makes a comment about Italians – it’s weird honestly – like Italians can DO NO WRONG kinda Bullshit!
like I said to Snaps above I will refrain ever to make a comment about Italians – good or bad when you are here b/c you can’t handle it
it’s weird that you are double my age and probably have more experience in life but certainly not the wisdom

I like benson because he’s a Republican and he’s not afraid to be proud of it.

Have you ever been eating raw oysters and felt all kinds of grit and realized it was full of sand?

You abandoned us, you turkey. I like Benson too. What about your promises? You were going to organize a little get together at Spumoni Gardens.
