Generalizing again I see. It's a good thing I don't judge all people who wear dog heads by your example.

I see you're mincing your words very carefully. Why did you choose "directly correlated with" instead of "because of" in your sentence, except that you don't have a leg to stand on?

"Token" was meant to disparage YOU, not Mr. Carson because of his race.

huh?

so when some 90 year old billionaire is with some 18 year old fake boob bleach-blonde chick....you are a sexist/ageist for pointing out the motives of each?

Token is not describing one's personal belief about race, it's more a descriptor of another's motive behind their decision process.

If Dr.who ever were a liberal, Rex wouldn't hold a negative view, since he is conservative, Rex does. To me that is obviously not racism, but more a bias of political leanings.

3. DO NOT expect any tolerance for statements, opinions, or views that are bigoted, racist, sexist, or hateful. Further, linking to sites that contain such content is prohibited.

4. DO NOT engage in personal attacks on other users. Healthy debate is expected and encouraged, but take the childish insults elsewhere. This is particularly true with regard to visitors from other schools. Moderators will be especially watchful for verbal abuse, ridicule, ad hominem attacks, and stalking.

Is there a point behind your post, since I broke neither of those rules?

Are we talking about a negative view though? Much less based on liberal/conservative. You can use the same argument...

If Dr. whoever were white, Rex wouldn't have called him "token". But since he's black, Rex does. Is that racism?

for the term cradle robber to be used, one person has to be older. Is a 3rd party using the term cradle robber an ageist? It's disparaging the basis of the relationship as being superficial. IE a Ringer- a term about the reason the company hired the guy.... to play softball.

The worst part about that thread was you saying that Carson was an idiot who nobody would listen to if he wasn't black.

I'm the last person to comment on what is politically correct these days. 50 out of 100 could say that's ageism, while the other 50 argue against it. Who's really right?

If a person is called a "thug" due to his race, how is that different from calling a person a "token" due to his race?

Which was true. Anybody who says the deaths of veterans because of problems at the VA was a "gift from God" is an idiot.

Is this part true as well? You avoided to address it. Wasn't sure if that was on purpose.
