Jcd,

Thank you too, and you're most welcome.

I got into it with these guys before on a thread entitled "I am not a racist but I vote BNP". Here is a post I made to that thread on August 17, 2004:

"I lived in Harlem--one block south of 125 Street--in 1967-8. I am white. My neighbours were black. ALL my neighbours were black. For friggin' miles. Everywhere I looked I saw black people. I was very easy to spot in a crowd. Long-haired white hippie with a guitar case. I never had problems.

I lived and taught on an Indian (First Nations, Aboriginal, Indigenous) Reserve in northern Alberta (1987-90 (?)) for three years and ALL my neighbours were red. I was still white. I was very easy to spot in a crowd. I never had problems.

This bullshit the BNP is talking about is just that: bullshit. Racists are rubbish (to borrow a phrase from my friend jOhn). Sleep with the devil and you'll have the devil's child. Don't let those bastards poison your mind. The BNP is trash. Put them and their policies where they belong. Beside the cat in jOhn's dumpster.

The BNP is composed of people who will lie, cheat, say anything they have to to make themselves look worthy of votes. We have that kind of garbage in Alberta also. Mostly we marginalize the fu#kers because they don't deserve a hearing. "The day will come when a man is judged not by the color of his skin but by the conduct of his character." Memorize that. Then learn to live it. You are better than the BNP. Memorize that too, SVP. Make your vote mean something good. And make your choices count. My children have to live in the world your generation is making. Think about that, OK?"

It was addressed to someone named Josh. However, David, allow me to address it to you, also. Like the man said, go peddle your papers somewhere else.

Alba: Love that post.
