AB: I think there are very few people here who have real problems with what you say with regard to race issues, and many more who really appreciate your frankness. I’m with SJC on that one in that as a non-American I couldn’t understand how anybody could think OJ was innocent. From where we stand he was clearly guilty. BUT, this just goes to show how the context that one exists in/lives in influences the meaning of events. Your frankness helped me to understand what the situation might have looked like to an African American. That’s a very good thing. It’s also interesting to see the responses you trigger from people like TJ. Also very illuminating. So, keep it up. Speak your mind and listen to what other people are saying too. Isn't that the only way we all can increase the level of common understanding in this world?
for days I avoided this thread because i didn't really have an opinion if Shockey was an embarrasssment to football but after it reached 5 pages I had to find out what everyone was talking about... Now I'm sorry I did. I think i'll go back to the dog eating thread and see if fatcow has posted any recipes yet...
