July 25, 201511 yr He has made his "I'm not racist" stance on the back of "my son has a black friend we even let stay at our house". If he's going on the offensive on how PP has raised his kids, fair game is fair game... Easy, I'm not jumping into anything beyond hoping that line you posted was inaccurate. I don't have a doubt in my mind that PP92 is a GREAT dad, especially given how wonderful he has always been with my son. Questioning how he is raising his kids is, I agree, out of bounds.
July 25, 201511 yr My kids also hope you have a splendid weekend. They told me to let you know that. :thumb: God bless you my friend.
July 25, 201511 yr You didn't make any other statements in that post? Yes, and in all fairness to you the last paragraph should have been a stand alone post and not made to seem like it was a response to you. That was meant as a stament in general and not to your question of disagreement.
July 25, 201511 yr You too. My family will continue to pray for you. Thank you! I also had lit a candle today at church for you and yours
July 25, 201511 yr False. I do see it from the other perspective. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to live or get along with my wife's family, my co-workers, my friends and many many other people I come into contact with on a daily basis. More often than not most of you don't even know how I truly feel about any subject, especially the ones on race. You all read my posts and make false assumptions about what I say and how I feel. The fact is I'm just tired of trying to explain the black perspective without being accused of justifying rioting. It could be because most of the times your posts seem to discount others opinions. We can disagree without being disagreeable.

My only issue with you in a couple of threads is you call anyone with a view different than yours an idiot simply because it differs from yours. That's a problem. What they say isn't invalid just because you see it differently. I've met you and hung out with you for a little while, I feel I'm a fairly good judge of character. It didn't take me long at all to know you're a great guy and I saw what a good father you are with your son while you both were up this way. I don't think, I know you're a good dude and I certainly hope that our disagreement on comments of others doesn't sour you on me. I just feel like the points made by guys like Stephen A has some validity and I don't think he speaks for the black community. Heck, IMO, no one speaks for any community or race, although some seem to think they do. I don't put Smith or Williams in that category though.

You are a class act all of the way around and I always look forward to an opportunity to be around you. You are easily one of my favorite BGPers along with my dawg, Mountainref. We don't have to agree to enjoy each other's company and we had a great time together. Hopefully we link up soon!!!!
July 25, 201511 yr It could be because most of the times your posts seem to discount others opinions. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Even though a majority of posts discount my opinion. I guess I should just submit and be the good agreeable negro, huh? :lol2: Don't hold your breath. We can absolutely disagree. It happens.
July 25, 201511 yr Pop quiz. What was the name of the character Samuel Jackson played in Django Unchained?
July 25, 201511 yr Pop quiz. What was the name of the character Samuel Jackson played in Django Unchained? Stephen. I don't know if they gave a last name.
July 25, 201511 yr Author Pop quiz. What was the name of the character Samuel Jackson played in Django Unchained? I loved that movie though it made me a little uncomfortable to watch with my daughter.

It happens. Just a cop out post and beneath you. When all else fails revert back to race ? I've stayed out of this topic because it's the same thing over and over. Two minds can disagree without one side always reverting to this tactics. Someone can disagree with you and still respect you.
July 26, 201511 yr Even though a majority of posts discount my opinion. I guess I should just submit and be the good agreeable negro, huh? :lol2: Don't hold your breath. We can absolutely disagree. It happens. It always has to become race with you if anyone disagree's. Run to State made a great post which also summed up my feelings toward you. You were one of my favorites in here and I drove down to Louisville just to meet you. Sad that I never thought of you as race baiting and everything had to be about black vs white with you. I hope that changes but I won't hold my breath. God bless.
