off the mark. a racist word, or racist connotations, is doesnt matter there is an obvious connection made between the comment and the person it was intended for.

You really need to stop pretending that connection doesn't exist.

Does it really matter though? People just need to suck it up. People will always be refered to by race and colour. Until there is a complete diversification of races, then race will always be used to distinguish between people.

I agree with you on everything except sucking it up. I chose my words carefully. There is however no need to "distinguish" in such an overt, public manner.
This person, whoever said it initially would never walk into Jane & Finch and call every black guy they saw "Ghetto Dude", because it is obvious what would happen. Why, because the connotations are obvious.

Maybe it was racist maybe it wasn;t..
All I know is that this guys is fucking MILKING IT!


I am so sick and tired of all this "i am a victim..poor me" bullshit. I am sorry, but out of all the minority groups blacks use the race card the MOST! Weather its getting bad service somewhere, or not getting any service at all or whatever...its always "cuz i'm black". Maybe you were just a fucking prick or maybe the guy working was a prick and is like that to everyone.!!!!

Also, I don't remember one case where our buddy Sharpton had his panties in a bunch when some black people offended white people due to race! This guy is a fucking HYPOCRITE!

I am not denying that there is racism...THERE IS! But this stupid people that milk it or scream racism for every fucking thing are ruining it for everyone else. So when it really does happen, sometimes it is dismissed as "just another person trying to play the race card".

Thank you,...

Ok then. Next time somebody calls me a 905er in a derogatory way, ill take it as a slight against my race.

PS: wasnt this guy brown not black? That defeats your arguement right there.

right. You've digressed dramatically. A racist comment provokes a negative response; and the blame, by your blistering logic is not on the the person spewing the racist comment.

I'm sure if you call people by their derogatory names, many of them will be more than pissed; but would have gone on their merry way had they not been provoked.

dude, this is too far form the point for me to carry on...the person shouldn't have made the comment, if nothing else its poor form.

if he were white it would defeat my argument.

as for being a 905er, explain to me the negative connotation in the statement first then we can figure out what the 'slight' is.

If anything..i'm a victim here!

No one can even be racist towards me cause i'm a mutt

People try and make fun of me but they fail miserably cause no one has any clue to my background!

I try and cheer for one of my backgrounds in soccer, and they all boo me cause i'm not a 100%, but only like 50% or 25% of that nationality...

I have no identity
