please outline how that video is disrespectful towards women.

moonshine, I have an analogy for you. You're in a crowded theater and someone yells FIRE! You and your kids look around and see no fire no smoke, so you say, "Fuck this shit I'm staying for the rest of Rambo!". You walk out after the movie and some usher says, " You dumb fuck, didn't you hear that guy yell "FIRE?", You'll coulda been lump charcoal"!
Same thing here moonshine, The senator speaks of the need to address inherent racism in our neighborhood thus a rainbow dog party. Other than an occasional racial bump in the sidewalk that is then blogged ad naseum on all Brooklyn blogs I see no chronic race war festering. Other than great photo ops for the Senator, he offers an answer to a question that was never asked.

Subject: Celebrate our Diversity Day
I'll quote Apollonia666. Instead of railing away, "if you really want to persuade someone to change their thinking about something, the way to do it is to make an intelligent, reasonable argument....Insulting tirades might make people who already agree with you happy, but they don't make the people whose minds you'd presumably like to change give any real consideration to your point of view."
Post after you meet with the Senator and discuss your ideas. Don't use the blog, as a modern day hood. Peace. Sunshine -
don't use the blog as a modern day hood.
what does that mean? i mean, first of all, there's the inference that communication in the hood is somehow automatically inferior to that of sophisticated society as exemplified by new technology. but really, what did you intend to imply with that statement?
and how many posts before someone simply states "i disagree and think it's a racial problem, not a socio-economic one" (which would be false, but whatever) instead of saying "hey hey, nanny nanny poopoo, you may have good ideas but i'ma stick my fingers in my ear because you're a bit abrasive"
talk about intellect -
by the by, the fact that an analogy to the KKK was used by someone who seems to be supporting the crux of the racial identity slowdown in modern society is laughable.

Great point. Wished I'd said that. (I probably will next time) -
Man what seemed like an innocuous, if slightly left of center (unity through dog appreciation? Ok...) post turned into a real shitshow up in heya.
Howdy, Stranger!
