Racist thread? It is a joke and nothing racist about it. The guy is

"Nothing racist about it", and "even if he were white" in the same
paragraph. That HAS to be just about the most ignorant thing I've ever
read here!!!!!


So by saying (inferring) that Tyson is black, which he is, is an ignorant
statement Kevin?

I'm not Kevin, please go read my response to NOYB in the Clams Canino
thread. You, NOYB, Fritz, and JohnH will be the laughing stock of the
newsgroup soon. NOYB actually had a great idea, and I can't wait! But,
do you think that by referring instantly to someone's color ISN'T
racist???

Racist: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion

Just curious, my construction manager is a negro, black, whatever. He had
the best qualifications of everyone I interviewed so naturally I hired him.
He has been with me for about 3 years. He is a pretty big guy. We are
quite good friends. He refers to us as a team, "Blackman and Robin".

Should I be offended because he is calling me a birdie name?

Well, it's pretty clear to me that he thinks of you as a girly man -
perhaps the worst kind of girly man. :)

Later,
