I think some of you blow your whistles to hard and its depriving your brain of much needed oxygen. Seems like i said that someone saying "Hey you are a bigot." is a racist remark in and of itself.

I may make some boring, bland comments, and does that make me boring or bland. No -- dealing with that statement as it is and as it stands alone is a racist statement.

Youm might let a coach call you a bigot and laugh it off because hey it could be true -- but to me thats a personal attack and a racist one at I am going to toss him for that.

Please, explain to me in small, easy to understand words (because I'm a bear of very little brain) why a coach calling you a bigot is a racist remark. As I understand it, racism by its very nature is not about character, it's about race. So where do you find the racism in this comment?

Well, you've got a completely black team playing a completely white team, and a black coach telling a white referee that he's a bigot? Now whatintheheck does that coach think that official could possibly be bigoted at? Assistant coaches, in general?

How about you telling me that in small, easy to understand words?

He may be accusing you of being racist. But that, in itself, is not a racist remark. It's a character attack, to be sure. But not automatically racist.

Well, I'm not sure if I understand your logic, but I know where you're coming from now anyway.

Thanks.

Now feel free to go reply to Nevada's treatise.

Good luck. My eyes glazed over and I passed out at about the 900-word mark.

There should be a Forum rule requiring Nevada to post a warning with every one of his dissertations- "CAUTION- may cause drowsiness. Do not operate heavy equipment while reading".

I can only aspire to such garrulous verbosity. Though sometimes I think I give him a run for his money.

I can answer that for deecee.

Read every post I've written in this thread. I explained it over and over. If for some reason you can't find one of my posts, let me know and I'll be glad to explain it one more time.
