You mean of the guy whose name they used when they forged it?

So now you're spreading Pam Geller stuff? Damn, man, I can only imagine what your spam filter looks like.

Saying that particular article is "the point" you described is like looking at a photo of me (and several other posters, but I won't out anyone) and saying "this is the point at which thinning hair become balding."

I wear a bald wig when I see you so that you are more likely to keep that temper under control. If you knew I'm up on you intellectually, skill wise AND hair wise one could hardly expect you not to lash out

I think you hit that point a while ago, dude.

Look, I'll take a friendly amendment to change "the point" to "a point". Is this really what we've come to?

I was just surprised that you've only found the "poor, persecuted Christians" thing to be offensive assholery when they hit the holocaust references.

There is a point to Godwin's Law.

What really bothers me is that these people really aren't Christians, at least not in the sense that I use the word.

I'm really torn. it's a sad choice. you have this school where the kids perhaps can move past racial differences, at least as they relate to each other. on the other hand those kids have to walk on city streets where that same peace doesn't exist.

to educate kids that the streets they live on are screwed up they put a wedge between the kids in this place where they might start to get past it. it might be better for all the kids to know things can be better because where they go to school can be*? or otherwise start to create some small segment where we move forward? of course, maybe that leaves these kids exposed to the reality, but their families can address that concern?

I don't know what the right choice is, but if this is the right choice it's sad.

*of course this school may well be racially fucked up too, despite the posture.

I dunno. A bunch of white people talking about race among themselves gets pretty boring. They usually conclude that none of them are racist and affirmative action is privilege. Will the white kids group be any different?

All black people are good, all white people bad? Got it.

I am really surprised how shy all the socks posting here are to really engage about racial issue. It was a thoughtful long piece. You are all free to not have any opinion, or more accurately not post your opinions, but, as i say, it is surprising.

I think this stuff is necessary.

I understand the desire to protect one's kids from sex, conflict, racial issues, everything that's hard, especially when they're still too young to really understand these concepts. But creating a bubble in which everything is awesome and cool when you're part of a team does these kids no favors. I think it's great to give them (i) that type of experience for awhile so, when it's time, they start their broader lessons of race with the understanding that people are people and (ii) the opportunity to form relationships in which race is not a factor.

But the lessons will be learned. Why shouldn't we try to teach them what's what and how to deal in a way that isn't horrible and shocking?
