    We were just reminscing.  Not all trash talking.  In fact, we miss several people who have fallen off.  If you read thoroughly, I even said I miss some of the convos Smo started.  I just wish she wasn't so narrow minded and accusatory when she expressed her opinions here. 

    The thing is most posts about racial issues seem accusatory. But when you consider that the topic invokes an immediate visceral response for most people, it does seem like the person discussing the topic is being accusatory. It's a hot button issue and you have to take your emotion out it. 

    Which Smo wasn't very good at.  Hence why we all ended up frustrated.

    The bigger question is did you learn anything? Or did you just gloss over the main points because a minority pointed out things you don't like or didn't want to think about in that light? 

    That's an awfully loaded question from someone who has NO IDEA what my side in those conversations looked like.

    I'm sorry, but is mean commentary not what you are doing right now? Furthermore, our "mean commentary" was based on events that occurred that we were personally involved in, while your mean commentary is flingling insults and blanket profiling of people you have read about for all of two seconds.

    Who is the pot now?

    I would imagine that's the whole point with the Trayvon Martin debate. Not fun to be profiled now is it? 

    Well it is true that profiling happens regardless of whether you're black, white, female, male, homosexual, or heterosexual and people of all those races, ethnicities, sexes, and sexual preferences are just as guilty of profiling others, as you just proved.

    Not loaded at all. Did you learn anything? Yes or No. Did Smo challenge you to think or see something in a light that you never did before? Yes or No.

    You can disagree with the way the info was presented. And you can still respect the other person. You can also agree to disagree without dragging a person all the way through the mud.

    Knowing Smo based on her posts on PCE, all she'd ever want is for anyone to understand her point or at least think about it. In fact, that's what you and everyone else here is now doing. Hey, we are doing a flashback, not trying to be mean, yadda. That's all, right? You don't want me to profile your entire board as being a bunch of cray-cray women, right?

    You want me to recognize that you can hold your on with a shiit-stirrer, right?

    A bad biiitch I am not. A well liked, respected member of this board, I am. Every regular on this board knows me well enough to know that I'm not a malicious person. I rarely stray from this board because these ladies are not strangers to me, they are friends.

    And, as I said before, she doesn't need you to come rescue her. If there's one thing I know about Smo, it is that she's fully capable of taking care of herself.

    Oh bless your heart. A bad biitch is a term of endearment among rappers.

     

    I know Smo can take care of herself. I just felt the need to bug you people today. 

    A.) Don't "bless your heart" me. I'm Southern, I see right through that.

    Do you have a Rebel Flag Prom Dress too? B

    In that case, no.  Smo never really pointed anything out that I wasn't already aware of, sensitive to, etc.  Doesn't mean I didn't value her opinion, even if it wasn't presented well.  And if there was anyone who refused to agree to disagree, it was Smo.

    I agree with this.  The thing that drove me crazy was not the points she brought up.  There were many great discussions.  It was the fact that no matter the situation she could never say "okay, let's just agree to disagree" she would often continue to drive her point in even after you said "okay, that's fine.  I don't agree but I see where you're coming from."  That irks me to no end no matter who is doing it.  You need to be capable of saying, okay we both see the other person's point and we know we're not going to come to an agreement, so agree to disagree. 

  • I think she left. Booooo.
