Obama plays the race card

[reality_hammer]

Not only did Obama play the race card, he has it backwards when it comes to injustice.
We have a deficit in this country when there is Scooter Libby justice for some and Jena justice for others;
Libby, of course, was convicted of lying to investigators after they came up empty trying to find  someone in the administration who "leaked" information

Now, rather than bore you by pointing out your rush to characterize some blacks as thugs ...

A group of people who have committed unprovoked acts of violence in the past and then committed another unprovoked act of violence would, indeed, meet the normal definition of "thugs." Their race isn't relevant to this characterization: their prediliction for violence is. Why do you consider their race to be relevant?

while pondering that for all I know you would not even think to characterize the unknown person(s) who hung the noose that set off events as thugs -- perhaps you see hanging nooses as harmless first amendment pranks?

I don't see hanging nooses, by themselves, to be act of violence, or even "assault" -- the definition of "assault" is a credible threat of violence. So, no, I wouldn't call those who hung the nooses "thugs," because to be a "thug" one must be violent, not merely obnoxious.

The hanging of the nooses was, in any case, irrelevant to the severe assault and battery, because the victim of the attack was not, as far as I know, the person who hung the nooses.

I formally ask you to remove me from your friends list.

I did.

This discussion is on Reality Hammer's blog, not yours.

Having said this, do you actually have a reasonable response to my point that beating people up without provocation is "thuggery" while merely hanging nooses on trees is simply obnoxious?

Um, responding to something you post in someone else's blog is hardly "stalking" you. Why would I bother to stalk you? I don't even know you!

[jordan179]

Do you agree with my point that my lawful request that you remove me from your friends list in order that I be spared any unlawful stalking or unlawful harassment by you upon my person? Which part of that statement do you disagree with or agree with, and why?

The premise, utterly devoid of any basis from my actions, that I would "stalk" or "harass" you. Unless there is something in your past that would lead you to believe that "Jordan179" is a front for someone with a grudge against you, your assumption is unwarranted, and more than a little paranoid!

Gotcha. You're a major loon.
