I don't care one bit about whether or not I am entered into some cyber-board hall of fame. What does matter to me, is that 14 people voted for me at all. For a long time, it's been very fashionable to be opposed to most any opinions I might express. I get why. I have expressed some opinions that many found offensive and they have chosen to keep those opinions in their minds at all times. So much so, that anything else I might have posted was tainted. But this voting shows that a fair number of people have been open minded enough to see more. It's nice to see that change.
It would be nice for you to change your stated positions on people of color.
And when you are done, you can work on your obsession with yourself.
It would be .....nice??? Why is that? What possible difference might it make, that some guy you hear on the radio and see posts from on a message board espouses opinions you agree with or not? Is it because you just feel more comfortable with people who seem more like yourself??? That you are intolerant of those who are not like you?.....Hmmm....
It would actually be something far greater than nice Steve. But without you addressing the personal aspects of your narcissism. (See his other post above), I understand it is unlikely. But more on this later.
You made fun of people of color for a steak dinner for yourself. How this qualifies your behavior as normal, or even honest from an intellectual standpoint as some here mistakenly claim, is a mystery to more people than just me.
Any reading of my personal positions on any number of major social, cultural or political issues couldn't possibly be taken as majority thought in these parts either. So the feeling comfortable aspect of your response is an epic fail also.
As a policeman, you were intolerant of many behaviors. Intolerance for many things, racism not being one of them, is actually a good thing, and helpful to our society and cultural as a whole.
The real reason to dislike racism from you and others who make decisions based on skin color, is that it denies the fundamental dignity of the person and by doing so it demeans YOU personally. And as a narcissist, for that reason alone it is good for you to reconsider your past statements. The dignity of the human person is reduced when the actions of another deny this dignity, or abuse it, or judge them based upon physical traits or characteristics.
Simply put Steve, it's beneath your humanity to to be that ignorant. If you have a moment, put down the paint brush and contemplate something other than yourself and your life. You'll be better off for having done so. The rest of us will be too.
