I once had a friend who had racial epithets hurled at her by a white man. He was not the only one who showed himself to be a racist. She also went to get a job at a huge prominent corporation in a prosperous country and she did not get the job because she was a certain color. She knows this is the case because the company later got in trouble for discriminationagainstwomen and people of color and were punished by their government.
From these incidents, I conclude racism is a big problem in the country I am talking about. Do not tell me it is all in my head. White folks are biggots. I have the experience and stats to prove it, hon.
Thanks for correcting the spelling, dear. I could not remember whether bigot has too g's or one.
In case you overlooked the title of this thread, I was doing a thought experiment, dear. I was pulling a "Nathan" on you good people in this place.
If one can generalize from a few incidents of racism to a big problem with racism, why cannot she do the same when it comes to molestation? Or in Mr Bowen's case, why cannot he illegitimately generalize from a few cases to 23,000?
I am a black male and I can assure you that this person does not speak for all the people of color. This broad generalized statement reeks of a typical, low intellect poster who's probaly just trolling around starting trouble. It's amazing that this person can even post the signature "in Christ".

Ashi
I couldn't agree more. You've summed this person up quite nicely.
I see you also miss the point. I constructed the story in order to make a point about Bowen. Are you all that dense? The story is a myth designed to make a point. Duh!
