I noticed it, but I think what I said spoke for itself. A person will feel how they feel and believe what they want to believe.

I'm certainly not saying Nick is wrong for being offended by DN's shtick -- some people do find it offensive. On the surface, it may appear to him (and to some others) to be racist. In my opinion, an opinion which seems to be supported by the definition of racism itself, there's a difference between offensive and racist, but I can't tell the man how he's supposed to think and I understand that.

We ain't gonna solve it in this thread, so we may as well let it go. Everybody's position has been made clear.

The rest of the school were Blacks and Hispanics.

He told what it was like to be in the minority in his school. It was not like that in my school at all.

In one school, a minority was elected Senior Class President. In the other school, they were beaten because of their color.

Can you guess which one minority received the beatings?
Can you guess which minority won the class presidency?

Too easy; give me a harder one.
