Subject: RE: BS: King/Sharpton v. Beck/Palin Saturday!!!
What, Q??? Webster's... What did I say??? I said that, inspite of the dictionary definition, the term "bigot" has a special meaning to folks who were part of the civil rights movement... I doubt that you know about those experiences...

For you or anyone to ****devalue****, to ****gentrify****, to ****sanitize**** the3 word "bigot" is not only insensitive to the civil right movement but to black people in general...

No, I'm not going to allow ya'll to do that without callin' you out... Hey, disagree with me... Post a million words on why what I say doesn't agree with what you think... I couldn't care less... Don't ****trivialize****, ****patronize****, ****marginialize**** a word that means more than you will ever understand about "bigotry"!!!

I been in the trenches and I understand that there are certain words that white folks shouldn't just throw around unless they are talkin' about the real deal... Disagreein' with someone ain't "bigotry"... It's called, ahhhhhhhh, disagreein'...

Hey??? Don't believe what I'm talkin' about here??? I'll tell you the same thing that I told Sawz... Run this post off, take it to any professor that teaches "race studies" and they perhaps can explain it better...

Until then???

Peace,
