    No, I didn't. Go back are re-read what I wrote. I make no claims about the cops' race for a reason.

    How's this...



    1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

    2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.



    Now don't make me get all one drop on you. You know there are continual ongoing discussions in the black community about what is black. Is mulatto black? How about creole? Are you colored or are you black?



    How did your daddy and granddaddy take their coffee? Did they take it with some cream?



    Please understand Sond that not all societies view race as being exclusively about skin color. If you suggested to someone who was Filipino that they were the same race as a Cambodian, you might have a fight on your hands.



    I'm also sorry if the coffee statement comes across as offensive at all. When one black says it to another, it can be construed as offensive. I am not black, but you asked for a clarification of what I meant regarding racism with black on black.

    NO offence taken. I asked a question and got an answer. the answer was actually what I expected. I'll just suffice it to say that I don't ascribe to that particular definition of racism. But that would be a whole other thread and a conversation I'm just not going to go into on this board.

    I'm sure you did something to ask for it, like, for instance, act the way toward him that you do here? That's gotta be worth a half-beating, at the least.



    Hey, I kid because I love!

    Doh!



    I'll say twice I 'deserved' my beating, and twice I had learned my lesson but still received a beating.

    Fair enough. Appreciate your candor



    We ALL deserve an ass-whipping every now and then. Well, not me. But the rest of you, certainly.
