| mudscuttle | 155 up, 4 down |
| A White American who seems intent upon single-handedly making reparations for every wrong Black Americans have suffered at the hands of the White Man. The keynote characteristic of the mudscuttle is that he will reflexively ascribe nobility of character to Black folk. The mudscuttle imagines his behavior indicative of enlightened sophistication, when the behavior is instead a sinister form of prejudice in which bigotry has been replaced with intransigent advocacy. A mudscuttle boss will brazenly assign choice assignments to Blacks and turn a deaf ear to the most rational requests from Whites for parity in the workplace. It is typical of the mudscuttle to express nauseating levels of adoration for famous Black people, wildly disproportionate to actual accomplishment. |

Because you are dumb. That's why you don't understand what constitutes a crime.

Some of you guys have a strange view of racism. I don't think anything I have written, or said, is at all racist. However, feel free to continue to make ridiculous accusations.

How do you even come to the conclusion I have ever talked about you or accused you of anything?

It's racist to disagree with a liberal. That sums up most charges of racism.

You are complaining that the charge of racism or bigotry is overplayed
my answer

I responded to your post #25. Although it wasn't a response to my writing, I perceived it as worth a dissenting comment. From there on in, we conversed.
The trouble I have with line 5 of the above is "in whose judgment?" One man's egalitarian comment is another's clear indicator of an unstated agenda. I insist on the right to defend what I say as unprejudiced. You, of course, have the right to show that it isn't so ... if it isn't. The quality of your rebuttal will have a definite effect on the depth of my attention. If my writing is shown to be incorrect, count on a retraction and apology. If it's shown to be ambiguous, I usually work to make my position clear. But I am sensitive to the appearance of thoughtfulness and respect from my interlocutor(s)!
That brings us to line 6. "are we done yet?" borders on insolence. You imply (not wishing to ascribe intent, I express it that you might have a chance to affirm, or correct ...) that responding to me is a chore. There are ways to say that that don't contain a probable slight. cn

Yeah, I agree the comment was facile, but after reading countless baseless charges of racism from various people on RIU, some leveled at me but most leveled at others, I have lost what little patience I had to start with.
The term "racist" has become a standing one-word joke amongst young people for a reason.

There was an excellent post in the "flash mob" thread in T&T where one fellow admitted to noticing the ethnic composition of a group in a video. Another replied:
"People would claim that because you noticed is proof of racism. Of course, these people are idiots as well. "
This neatly illustrates what I was kvetching about. I despise actual bigotry, and I also despise springloaded accusation of bigotry where none is definite ... almost as much.
That said, this race <cough!> goes not to the quick but the patient. cn
