Otherwise, and more directly to the subject at hand, I’ve attacked no one else’s character here. I’ve accused no one of being a racist - not you, not me, not C-Love or anybody else. But yes, I think all of us, myself included, can be lazy-brained and cloud our objectivity with the prejudices that exist in all of our heads, be the matter racial or otherwise. When we fail to identify the motives behind our own thoughts or statements -say, for example, on matters that are touchy in regard to race - then we, myself included, run the risk of expressing thoughts that are arguably racist or prejudiced in origin. And that, specifically, is what I see multible examples of on these threads. That is not a character attack on anybody, unless what I am accusing people of is being human. And yes, these statements are generally implicit. And yes, implication is a difficult thing to pin down. That is the nature of implict expression. It protects us from being accountable, either to our selves or to others. Implication is slippery. That is why, consiously or not, we use implict expression.<BR/><BR/>Does this raise the possibility that I may imagine instances where it does not exist? Absolutely. But, if its employment seems to be persistant, the possibility of it being in my imagination becomes less and less likely. Unless, of course, if I’m crazy or utterly paranoid. I do not consider that to be out of the rhelm of possibility, but I do consider it to be unlikely.eebmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787180786450316269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-82910493772678747262007-10-06T15:35:00.000-04:002007-10-06T15:35:00.000-04:00And for those of you that feel that living is your...<I>And for those of you that feel that living is your obligation to mankind.....fine....I wish you well.</I><BR/><BR/>That's just rude and dismissive. I never said that simply living was the only obligation, but living by example -- living a decent life apparently worth much to some, but to the kids I see every day all day long -- it's meaningful to them. They watch and hopefully learn that there is another way -- and I don't have to say or do anything. I don't have to speak another language, make myself seem "cool", listen to any one kind of music...and I've still managed to earn their respect. As a result, I'm trying to show them a way to respect themselves.Carol Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420308189076917316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-89737466236126971092007-10-06T13:16:00.000-04:002007-10-06T13:16:00.000-04:00I don't have a name yet.

The point that was being made was that you were pointing your finger at a group of people and making broad generalizations about them, their opinions and holding them all accountable for the actions or statements of a few - and that, regardless of race or whatever, is derogatory and is not supposed to be used in polite discourse. Of course, this is ironic, as you often fly off the handle at the commenters on this thread for supposedly doing the same thing.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, I am often somewhat sympathetic to your point. I think there is a huge amount of implicit racism in these threads. Many of the commenters seem to think as long as their racism is expressed implicitly, and not explicitly stated, that they deserve some I-didn’t-blatently-make-direct-statement-in-regard-to-race congratulatory cookie... or something.<BR/><BR/>That isn’t to say that I think you are being a very effective messenger. To be perfectly honest, you are failing miserably at exposing the very real hypocrisy here, specifically by making broad and unfair generalizations yourself.<BR/><BR/>Trust me, I take great exception to being accused of sharing opinions with these people. Some I never agree with, some fifty-fifty, and occasionally with everybody... but according to you, in your first comment in this thread, we’re all the same thing.<BR/><BR/>Sound familiar?eebmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787180786450316269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-73546344178232981162007-10-05T22:23:00.000-04:002007-10-05T22:23:00.000-04:00Sorry, that wasn't the best sentence, but you get ...Sorry, that wasn't the best sentence, but you get the drift.

Carjacked while leaving UMB around University Hospital on Wednesday. Parked a couple blocks off campus at Parkin & Pratt (at the edge of the new Camden Crossing area and B&O). Two thugs, one with a knife, followed me and demanded keys as I went to open the front door. I had already placed my school bag inside with all notes, laptop, wallet, cell phone, etc. Had a momentary lapse of good judgement and flipped about the school notes in the bag (I have an exam Monday) and begged for my notes from outside car. Thug with knife had already gotten into the car and reached into the backseat, grabbed my schoolbag and tossed it out of the car before Thug #2 got in and drove away.<BR/><BR/>Just heard from insurance/police that car was "recovered" this morning. Some sort of police chase near/in/around Dundalk that ended up with driver of my car t-boning another car. Only 1 guy in the car and he was apprehended.<BR/><BR/>Hooray Baltimore. I actually think they may have mistaken me for an *actual* doctor (I was dressed for clinical visits and carrying student white coat). May have thought they were going to get a BMW, Lexus or something. Joke's on them; all they got was my '98 Escort with 110k miles and no gas in the tank.

Both are kind of trashy, but they certainly don't feel dangerous. There are a couple of other bars near me where I'd feel a little more nervous, but unfortunately I do not know their names. 1919 rocks my world though, I love it when friends from DC come visit and gawk and the fact that you can get $1.50 beers at a bar.ppatinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016738612222736798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-87124505447045689182007-10-05T16:09:00.000-04:002007-10-05T16:09:00.000-04:00"wait why does hopkins deli get to do that? i have..."wait why does hopkins deli get to do that? i haven't been there since they got rid of the pool tables."<BR/><BR/>I have no clue.
