There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Isn't that just the wrong way?
Yeah, but faster!

Ummm - do you know your racist? I thought you were just kidding about your "bad things happening to good people" comment in the KKK post below, but I guess there was a little more to it than that.
So I assume by "they" you mean blacks, and that obiously all of them are parasites on society looking for handouts???
Anyway, back the the original sillyness of master/slave terminology debate, my wife (who is black) has a Masters Degree and has never lost any sleep over the name of it.

they obviously=people looking for handouts
I am not racist...I dislike nobody (except people looking for handouts-no matter what race). I am, however, a middle class, white man who refuses to get walked all over and taken advantage of in the name of some lop-sided "equality".

Umm. This is a topic that genearates stong feelings. Strong enough that I refuse to comment on it. I will say that you are stretching it to call someone racist on just these grounds. You do realize that if he were to loose his job because his employer read the post where you called him racist on a public forum AND you were unable to provide any additional proof of it other than two posts, then he could have you for slander?

That issue is an oldie. I'm suprised people still pick up on it every once and a while...
At our computer shop we have been "Marrying" boxes of the Same Type (Homo) when we ship them and therefore attacking the traditional concept of Marriage between man and woman.

to me that's obviously not what you meant when you typed the original statement. your statement infers that black people are looking for a handout because their ancestors were enslaved. you're obviously overlooking the class and economic disparity and side effects created by over 300 years of slavery. and keep in mind the emancipation proclamation is less than 150 years ago and the civil rights movement is less than 50 years old. i can see why some blacks feel that way. there's no doubt if you work and try hard anyone can make it happen but recent studies have shown that minorities are still handicapped due to deeprooted racial discrimination.
now i'm not in totally in support of handouts or retribution in the form of money and honestly i don't know the answer, but it seems that AA and quotas aren't working. i also see more white americans becoming frustrated over the gov efforts to fix a wrong commited by an old society, but the effects of the wrong are still here. what's ironic is that some white people were just as upset back when slavery was still practiced because they couldn't afford slaves, and felt the people who could had an unfair advantage. think about that.

ot...the 'master' and 'slave' discussion complaint is really stupid and overboard imo. to me it's an example of being completely oversensitive about something that has nothing to do with race or slavery.

It's 1984. Just 20 years late.
