Well I think this is the best place for it. I thought I would spread Nayarms lack of knowledge to everyone in a PM it sent me. I don't care if its supposed to be private either, this troll deserves it.

...just how does a "Black" guy sound....and if you can adequately answer that...how does a white guy sound...are they all the same???

Its all in the accents. I consider all humans no matter what race they are to be equal, but they sound different don't they? And some accents are what I would associate with a certain race or type of person. How the hell is that racist!?

...the majority of my friends and family who are African American, don't "sound" like that...along with the reference he made to being big fat and black and wanting to shoot someone in the _ss...it's a stereotype that is disparaging and perpetuates the notion that we are lazy, shiftless and violent. I don't expect you to understand it, because you don't live it...so I see why you would not view it as racist...and you are entitled to your own opinion

This being spoken by a person who doesn't know who I am or what kind of friends I have.

Its all where you draw the line. Some people find the stereotypes offensive because they have to live with them every day from ignorant people.

Personally I find it difficult because at the end of the day its nigh on impossible not to offend someone these days. The way I see it is that unless someone is launching an attack on a section of people then there has to be room to generalise.
