    So this guy's allowed to continue posting his ignorant and racist remarks so long as he calls it "facetious?"

    and you as well? Impressive.

    Look, that statement was so absurd it was *obviously* a joke.

    Calling some one black is not racist, either.

    I've read his posts for quite some time and the majority of them have been consistently ignorant and closed-minded. When I first noticed them I didn't pass judgment because yes, I thought it might only be a temporary thing, like some theme he was taking on for a day or a week. But then a month went by. Then months.

    Ok, but that's not the point is it. In this case, it was a joke, in poor taste for some maybe, but a joke. It was not racist, it was not about social status. The whole point of that sentance was to be ridiculous.

    From where I'm sitting, there was no malice.

    Greg,

    From where I'm sitting, you didn't make the comment and as far as I know I was not addressing you. Has Great White guy asked you to rush to his defence? I happen to believe GW has a strong desire to run his mouth in as offensive a manner as he can get away with. As he has insulted me personally, I would tend to think you would prefer to sit there and be quiet.

    Brad,

    I don't believe my post was adressed to you, either, at least not the one you quoted

    I'm not rushing to any ones defence, you took something totally the wrong way and I felt justified to point it out in a marginally sarcastic manor.

    Now, if you feel insulted by GWH, I would think that PMs would be the appropriate way to deal with it.
