Yeah, that's what this thread was - an argument FOR TX and AGAINST MS!

The most recent wade-in lead to an old white woman getting slammed to the ground and tossed in the pool with her dogs.

What is your point?

To foment racial violence.

These threads need a stated point to differentiate them from common trolling. What is your point?

I'd say this is most topical re statue removal and rebel flag display ethics. I'd be curious to know what the ilk's opinion of these efforts to commemorate these atrocities would be. After all, statues seem VERY TREASURED around here. Old statues dedicated to people who fought to entirely entrench these sorts of atrocities as a matter of course, that is.

I'm really glad I was able to learn about that incident even if I did have to wade through your vile race baiting garbage to learn of it.

Why do you love racism so much? Serious question.

Because he's a racist POS.

Things can be topical but still not have a point.
