Holy crap. READ this post:
I very emphatically already wrote:But the discussion isn't about whether or not he specifically said "I resent white people." It is about whether or not he actually resents them. Maybe you should address the actual issue instead of making up an auxiliary one that can't even be debated.

Matthew wrote:And if you're admitting to not being objective

I'm not convinced you know what 'objective' means.
Matthew wrote:You make a claim, or argue the claim, that Magic is resentful towards white people, and I point out you don't know this for sure because he didn't say this and you try to draw it out as much as possible.

As I've already said, it wasn't an attempt at an objective claim, it was my interpretation of the quote. And you're saying that I'm not allowed to interpret the quote because it's not explicit enough for you, but I disagree. It gives me a very clear "white people are racist numbskulls" vibe.

What the fuck. Ok I'll dumb it down for you

I say Magic never said he resented white people. You said he implied it. I say I don't care.

I'm not arguing if he implied it or you came to that conclusion. I couldn't care less about that. I'm saying he didn't say it and you don't know how his mind works so you can't jump to that conclusion.

Then don't post about it. Problem solved.

I can post to point out he never said he resented white people.

Fri Nov 14, 2008 5:51 am

Sure you can, but it's totally irrelevant to what I'm saying. I never once claimed he said "I resent white people."

That's interesting because you said

Why is that interesting? I don't see anything in my last post that's relevant to what you quoted. Still I am not arguing about what he did or didn't say, as there wasn't even a quote in the article.

Obama promises "More of the Same" Failed Bush policies
The government will do ``whatever it takes'' to revive the economy, Obama said. That means ``we shouldn't worry about the deficit next year or even the year after,'' he said, adding that in the short term, ``the most important thing is that we avoid a deepening recession.''

And suddenly deficit spending is good again! USA! USA! USA!

Obama to become Bush's Eisenhower?
