Blacks Experience Racism Everyday

Recluses were one example, not my whole argument. I was using a recluse to warn against exaggerations. I have not met such a one, that would rather make them unlikely to be a recluse, but recluses do exist and it would be racist to assume that none of them is black :D. I have, as a matter of fact, experienced racism, regardless of your assumptions (yes, racism against me even) although it's by far of course the least of my concerns :D. It's generally a fair assumption that someone believes something if they say it, and I am not to blame if you decided to state something you do not believe (which except in very specific circumstances, none of which come about on debate.org that I can think of, I condemn as dishonesty. I have as a matter of fact been stared at as I entered a store and watched until I left, though that of course had nothing to do with race. I have not been told to leave somewhere because blacks were not allowed, for obvious reasons, although I have for other reasons. Have you, and have you any evidence of it, and is it an EVERY DAY occurrence? You say at once "Have you ever been treated like you are treating me as though I believe blacks feel like 'america owes us something'" and "damn right I do," which makes zero sense, you are implying that me treating you like I supposedly am is wrong while in the same instance confirming the supposed premises upon which those actions rest. You are in short bringing up two contradictory statements, because so far the only way I have "treated you" has been based on the premise that I was dealing with someone who honestly believed X. However since you bring up "owing," I must absolutely differ there, nobody owes you anything unless they have promised it, and that includes "oppurtunity." The possessors (creators) of oppurtunities are not your slaves. You want an "oppurtunity," be it a job or something else, from someone else, earn it in the free market. If you create your own oppurtunity as you later claim, then you have no need to claim something is "owed" you, "owe" is an inappropriate term for something that requires no outside action. It is dishonest to make a request and claim in the same paragraph you are not requesting anything. There is by the way another contradiction, you claim to "create oppurtunity" and "take oppurtunity," without it being given. The former is great if true, the latter implies theft. I live in Seattle, I am originally from South Dakota, and no I am not "open minded," at least not in the literal sense. I am active minded, the result of which means I don't give a damn what race you are. It is irrelevant to the question of whether an ethnically homogenous community exists to ask me whether I have ever lived in such a place. "I consider a black man speaking intelligently as speaking properly. You come across as a person that innately feels that an anglo saxon always speaks proper english." no, as a matter of fact, you have no grounds to derive that. I consider a man speaking properly as speaking properly, without reference to any notions of either intelligence or race ( I know smart people with bad grammar, stupid people with good grammar, black and white people with both combinations and the converse.) And 95% of people I know, of all races, could use a little help in both the grammar and intelligence departments... as a matter of fact I've corrected my english teacher's grammar before (he is,as far as I know, white) so your statement about what I come across as is a bit absurd. Nothing in my previous post, by the way, implied you were any race (it called you racist but that's different :D), so your little personal story is a complete ignoratio elenchi. If you want to be considered black for the remainder of this debate, I'll take your word for it, but it's inconsequential.
