I spoke from the Jefferson County courthouse steps and railed against the wanton mixing of the two races.
Just wondering if you were arguing against miscegenation or desegregation?

I wasn't going to add anything to this thread (and some will dispute whether I'm adding anything even now), but I'm in a what-the-heck kind of mood this morning.
A) I agree what Imus did was wrong.
B) he should not be fired over it - a reprimand is sufficient, given that the nature of his job is (apparently) to be offensive. (I've taking this from other posts and comments. I don't listen to the man. I dislike everybody, and as an adult, I don't need anybody to do it for me)
C) *ANYBODY* who is traumatized by an insult, especially one as broad as this one was, has a lot of growing up to do. If you don't like it, talk to the person - or his superiors - in private. Whining and crying in public over hurt feelings is for 4-year-olds in supermarket aisles.
aisles - now, there's a word that just looks wrong, no matter how many times you type it.

Just wondering if you were arguing against miscegenation or desegregation? Those were the days of Freudian misconceptions; miscegenation was thought to be the point of court-ordered desegregation. But don't read anything into my use of the word "wanton". As you know the word has multiple meanings. Right?

Sure. It can mean all sorts of things, which is why your statement was ambiguous, but you knew that, and you still haven't answered the question, though I'll assume you were simply, and not freudianally, opposed to desegregation. So, when and why the change of heart? Or do you yearn yet for the days of separate water fountains?

What, zmjezhd, are you trying to race bait the themilum?
Do you yearn for the days before you became bitter about life?

Who, me? Perish the thought. I was trying to understand what you wrote. If you're going to take offense, let's just drop the matter.

I'm pretty happy with the decriminalization of miscegenation and desegregation in the South and the North. I'm also pretty much happy with life. You're the one who brought this matter up. You seemed in a nostalgic mood. I officially apologize to you, Milo, and the Board, for any offense. Take care.

And I hope that you will accept my apology to you, zmjezhd.
I know myself. I have never hated any man. And I never will.

And I must say: Please tender thy resignation, zmjezhd. We cannot accept such an offensive poster in our WBC Boards.
I exist! I am a pedant! I have a foreboding signature!

Sorry, Curuinor, but I won't be resigning. It's interesting that in some languages, it is offensive to speak to a person you don't know very well using the 2nd personal familiar (as thou used to be in English). If you really can't stand my posts, you might want to review the "ignore this user" feature of the board's software.
