But most of the converstaions I read between him and the rest of you tend to devolve into mean spirited exchanges of insults that get you nowhere.

I think part of the problem is that some white people will apply negative racial stereotypes to the majority of a particular group. They will allow for some members of that group to be "cool" meaning more like them but, will write off the rest. It's kinda like most of you would probably think that K-nut, Jason and myself are pretty cool even though we are black guys because you gotten to know us to a certain extent. As a result, most of you will not apply the most negative of stereotypes to us. The truth of the matter is, most stereotypes have a basis in fact and some members of any group can be described in negative terms but...the vast majority of any group is basically THE SAME as the vast majority of any other group. We have more things that unite us rather than divide us. It's just easier to focus on the bullshit.

I respect most of the people here. I think almost all of you are pretty intelligent and bring a lot to the table.
