bxgrl, I sure would love to think that thread did more good than harm in trying to promote race relations. But having just read through all of the comments up until a few minutes ago, it’s hard for me to conclude that much good came out of the thread.
And you, What, never take responsibility for being a schmuck. My point to biff was we all should take responsibility for posting on those threads. You play right into it. You revel in it- its your schtick.
I was speaking to biff- so why are you sticking your f*cking nose into MY conversation???? And FYI- your post was not addressed to anyone in particular so get off your self-righteous, poor me- I’ve been mortally wounded high horse and shut the fuck up.
Oh I don’t think we’ll ever have a resolution or agreement, but then, is that really the point of commenting? I mean, I would love to post something so brilliantly meaningful that everyone would smack themselves on the forehead, go “of course!” and we would have world peace. *sigh* Ain’t gonna happen.
But I also hear what people are saying- even the racist jerks who post simply for shock value (and no, I don’t include the What in this group). Racist jerks I dismiss- but I also hear a lot of the anger and fear other posters write about, and that anger and fear is on both sides. So we are more alike than we think. And less in agreement than we should be.but I hope we are all learning.

Bxgrl what’s you problem????All the fucking time it’s What, What What!!! You are not the defender of justice and decency of Brownstoner!! I’m not saying anything toward you but when I go deep then I’m a “Bad Guy”. When the dialogue goes between me and someone else, you have to stick your fucking nose into the conversation!!! I have made peace with plenty of people here and quite frankly I don’t want to get into another war with you just knock it off!
bxgrl, I see your side too (and gave my own opinion in the thread in question). But I guess I did start to wonder as it went on what would really be accomplished. To whomever raised the point, I can see that, given the difficulties in trying to interpret on a blog the way in which something is said combined with not fully understanding where everybody is coming from (including their personal backgrounds and experiences), I’m not sure what resolution / agreement on such an issue could be garnered. Having said all of that, my comment wrt to The What was not just in relation to his post above.
He said he was going to. It was probably accidental because I can’t think of anything he could have said.
biff- I agree with that but then there’s this. While Mr. B posts the thread, most of us play happily along. Some of us really want a dialogue and there are those who love to vent their racism. I take responsibility for myself- I think subjects like this are important to knowing the dynamics of neighborhoods.
Yes there are lots of posters who use any opportunity to vent stupidly, and ignorantly but is no dialogue better? And for what its worth- What has never had a problem with venting his own prejudices while bemoaning Mr. B’s. He does his own part in the “Garbage Covert Race/Class Warfare Bullshit”

Bxgirl, has M4L tried emailing Mr. B. to ask why?
bxgrl, seriously??? I wonder what happened. I don’t recall him saying anything that over the top.
