I agree with that. Maybe he should have as well.

Maybe I am blinded by the white. But I don't think I see it that way at
all. My immediate impulse when seeing that all of a sudden you're
referring to pendejo by his real name, is that you've gone a bit too
low. Maybe that's just my own issue with the Internet and wanting to
maintain some sort of privacy.

Why should I question him? He can speak for himself if he wants. You
keep wanting to turn this around like it's a white/black thing. I'm
saying you've gone too low by dragging his real name into this. Wanted
started out as a friendly conversation has turned very ugly. Can we not
have a discussion without turning it into a black vs white issue?

Who cranked it up?

You've got a one track mind. You too have a natural bias, you simply
don't see it because you are blinded by your own bias. Attitudes like
this is what keeps some black men down. Not because whitey keeps him
down, but because he keeps himself down with his own self-limiting
attitude and blaming his current state on "biased" white men.

Charles, your behavior is cowardly. Now as for you Lance, my good man,
isn't your behavior equally cowardly if not down right nasty?

I'm going to have to learn about this white privelege thing. Maybe I
could use it to my advantage. Lance, seriously though, I like you. I
like your determination and drive, but don't you think you've taken
this white/black thing a little too far? Nevermind, I know your answer
already.
Have a good one Lance. Hope your knee gets better so that you can come
down here, run the Peachtree and get a good ass whoopin' by this white
old lady -- white privilege style. Care for a little wager? ;-)
