Listen toots,
You really think that the man got away with his speech because he spoke
about "black" women and not white women huh? If you can seriously
convince yourself that because he was looking at a magazine with a black
girl in it and not a white girl and that is the true reason he did not
get booed or the reason people applauded when he was done, then you are
one sick woman. You're living in a fantasy world honey. Everything that
happens to make you mad in your little world is the "WHITE MAN'S" fault.
You know everytime you don't get your way or get what you want you
shouldn't go blame it on a race of people. THAT'S ACTING VERY
PREJUDICEDLY. I certainly hope that an intelligent person like yourself
wouldn't resort to prejudices. So I want you to re-think what you wrote.
Think to yourself... It's not the "WHITE MAN'S" fault.. It was just that
one guys fault that made you feel "disgusted" or "insulted". And
apparently his remarks didn't "insult" or "disgust" others. So you'll
just have to bear that heavy load of insult all by yourself. You see,
not everyone feels the same about certain subjects. Not everyone should
feel the same. Variety is the spice of life, if everyone thought the
same way then this world would be pretty boring. So just hush hush
honey, and don't cry.
With all my respect,
James Stryjewski
