GUEST,The Hated Guest Minority Ignorance (62* d) RE: Minority Ignorance 18 Feb 03


Well, the subject WAS the superiority of some racial group at some point. The translating seemed to make sense. Everyone got all skewed over the use of the word 'negro', but what if I AM an 'idiot', as Lurker says? I mean an idiot in the classical definition of the word. Whatever the I.Q. range used to be used to differentiate morons and imbeciles and all that...there was one within which 'idiots' fell. Seriously...there was some old scale which graduated idiots and morons and imbeciles according to how low their I.Q.s went. I think there were ten or 15 points between the groups. So...wouldn't calling me an 'idiot' then be just as offensive as calling someone a 'negro'? I mean, BOTH would be conditions of birth beyond a person's control...skin color or inate capacity for thinking. So, as an idiot, I object to that! Yeah! Maybe I HAVE to use the translator to understand what's being said, so how DARE you call me an idiot! Maybe I can't HELP it I wasn't lucky enough to be born a MORON like you Lurker, and I was more fortunate than others on this thread because I wasn't born an IMBECILE.
