How may of you have had a black person as a house guest?

I find this to be very amusing.

Are you aware of how condescending you sound?

That you are so righteous as to allow a (gasp!!!) black person to actually enter your home??!!!

A fine example of liberal racism - disguised as moral superiority.

 

I wonder if black people question each other whether they've had a white person as a houseguest?

Q- Why won't Reverend Jeremiah Wright eat caviar?

A- He heard you are supposed to eat it with crackers.

 

But nobody from Upstate? Maybe Salty was on to something.

 

Hey, wait a minute, I think I can one-up everyone...

I am white and I was a house guest at a black man's home!

Of course he and I are brothers in Christ and were members of the same Baptist Church.

Because the premise has been destroyed. Post #35 is especially brilliant.

 

No, just another off the topic reply. Lots of those in this thread.

 

Nope. It's directly on-topic. You just cannot justify your looking at race, first. You actually count the races. Sanctimonious, if'n you ask me.....

You guys look silly. You should just let this one go.

 

Allow me to answer.
What's it to you?
Why does it matter?

BillWald: "I have."

Well, don't you feel superior.
(Notice that that was not a question.)
Get a life.
Just Christian/Alatide/SuperiorThanYou just said she had a twin in another thread.
Are you it?

 

Simply because that is the question that was asked in the op of this thread.

I feel it would have been a better question to have made the question broader and have included all ethnic groups. But the question was restricted to one group. That being so, why not just answer the question?

 

Why are you so obsessed with race?

I for one will not answer the question because I find it to be racist and insipid.

Why do old the white guys assume that everyone else on the board is white?

 

Actually I'm not. But a simple question was asked and many refuse to answer. Refusing to answer is all right. Answering the question is all right. Answering 'yes' or 'no' does not indicate racism or a lack of racism. It is simply an answer. To some extend it depends on where a person lives, that is in some places there are few or no African Americans whereas in other places there are many. If there are no African Americans in an area, say like where my friend in Vermont lives, it is much more unlikely that an African American has stayed in his house than in a city like Washington, DC or Baltimore.

Why was it racist? Would it have been racist if the question has asked "Has an oriental stayed in your home?"

I do not assume it, nor did I ask the question. I would have asked it differently ... a much broader question.

 

The question assumes that the reader is not black.

The addition of "I have" after the question smacks of moral superiority. The author of the OP thinks that he has done something exceptional or special because he has stooped to allowing a black person in his home.

I am skeptical.

I recall you repeatedly telling me to "ask your African American friends" about their opinions of the state of race relations.

This would indicate that you are assuming that I am not black.

 

Will it make you happy if in the future I say my Chinese friends, or my Estonian friends, or my Russian friends, or my Serbian friends, my Lithuanian, my Scottish friends, my Ukrainian friends -- etc., etc.

Never assume.

 

Both the question and the questioner are racist in action, but I'll answer, yes.

 

Is this a serious question???

 

Of course it isn't. billwald is a troll that loves to post one shot posts and see how they turn out. This is just another one of them.
