Is your name a reference to a Slim Thug lyric?

you asked why my opinion should be held and their opinion should be dismissed. that was part of the response

if i say 2+2=4 and they say 2+2=5, then my answer is correct and their answer is wrong. if i got it right b/c i'm smarter, than so be it. i'm holding nothing against them. objective facts are against them


Let me rephrase. You are no doubt smarter than anyone on that team...JJ Reddick joke anyone...no ok lets move on.

I meant that in an issue that obviously has emotional baggage, and despite your best wishes, that cold calculating logic trump emotion it is often not the case. shite politics wouldn't exist if it was that way.

So as someone not directly involved with the situation why discount their thoughts on the matter?

Yes you are smarter, yes logic should win out but if logic always won out over emotion would Sterling have even made his statements?

So IYO is he "better", I use that word VERY loosely, than closet racists? IMO he is to a certain degree, a small one, because at least he is honest about it for the most part.


My personal opinion is that one type of racist is not "better" than the other. They're both equally bigoted and hold the same hateful views regardless of how they express them. Both are unacceptable to me.

If I had to choose, of course I would rather be able to avoid them instead of being hit with something out of left field (who wouldn't), but that doesn't make an overt racist any better than a covert one in any way.

it was in honor of slim thug, but i think the only lyric using that name was by the freestyle kings (on the ante up freestyle, iirc)

Olbermann is terrible. But he hasn't spent his free time for a decade watching Clippers games courtside.

I assume he's still just chilling in his bathtub, smoking cigars, and waiting to sleep with high end escorts that he has ordered from Kristen Davis.

Gotcha. What is interesting to me is that the racists I know that feel blacks are as inferior as a race actually go out of their way to help and commend black people that are hard-working, intelligent, kind, educated etc.
