There's really no point in responding to basso guys. He will say something inflammatory, refuse to elucidate the implication he's making, and then stubbornly resist any rational or verifiable statement that contradicts his initial statement. That's what he does, and he's been doing it for years. It's not going to change.
Exactly. As far as I'm concerned, my limit to beating myself over the head attempting to have a "conversation" with basso was reached some time ago. It is simply not worth the effort.
Remember all those pictures depicting Bush as a monkey? Everybody loved it, frequently shown on TV and talked about on radio.
Is there a long history in this country of depicting people of Bush's race as monkeys/apes to dehumanize them and justify enslaving/oppressing/murdering them?
Uh, DD, when you paint a huge target on your back (how do you reach your back?? Damn! You don't look like your arms are that long, or that you're a gymnast!), you shouldn't be surprised, although you definitely have a point about personal ribbing, slams, etc. in signatures, regardless of who they are aimed at.
