Comments: Good Friday
Comment by Brian J.:

On the "most solemn of days in the Christian calendar" are these the two best links we can come up with?

Surely we can do better.

Comment by Dara:

Linking to a racist's blog on Good Friday? I'd say something, but you've already invoked "Gott Mit Uns" law.

Comment by kathy:

Hey Dara, I'm still waiting for you to list the 10 inventions by Muslims in the last 100 years. You can't can you.

Yep, a racist is a conservative who's winning an argument with a liberal. Actually thanks to people like you, the word is completely meaningless. If being brave enough to discuss issues of race, religion etc in public makes me a racist, I'd rather be a "racist" than a brainwashed sheep like you.

If you're going to throw out an allegation like that, you should tell us which race or races she is racist toward.

Cue deafening silence; like Rob't, Dara prefers to smear and run.

Comment by Ellie in T.O.:

If Dara's referring to Muslims in the "racism" charge, then for the umpteenth time, Islam is a creed NOT a race!

Comment by Dara:

I'll refer back to the last post where Kathy, after being called out on being racist by me, informed everyone that she knew that the two black kids who blocked her way in the subway were just as racist as her and also homophobic, all gleaned from the colour of their skin and some baggy jeans.

Racist, QED.

Comment by Bruce Rheinstein:

Without a link, I have no way to judge the context of your allegation against Kathy, but there is a difference between stereotyping and racism.

For example, this comment to Kathy could easily be construed as bigoted:

"in your eyes, Israel is one lost war away from losing its right to exist since if the Jewish people do get displaced by war, they will have no right to return and they'll have to "move on" somewhere else. There are a lot of people out there who share your views, I think they're all worth about as much as you are." [External Link]

Comment by Kathy Shaidle:

Yes dara, because even younger black kids tend to be "homophobic" as are members of most protected ethnic minorities. They are, in other words, more "socially conservative" in a manner of speaking than you would ever like to admit. Listen in on a conversation between two "ghetto" kids on a mississauga bus going in the direction of the courthouse (as I have every workday for 3 years) and you will overhear racial slurs that would curl your hair if you had any (why do I always picture Dara as this prematurely balding young dude with a goatee?)

If you mean I'm a racist because I dare to notice differences in behaviour between members of other races, then yes, I am a racist. So are all honest, non-brainwashed members of planet earth with working sensory apparatus. Ask a japanese person what they really think of jews or the chinese. Ask a Trinidadian what they think of Jamaicans. Ask Chris Rock what he thinks of the people he calls "niggers." It will be an education for you. A much needed one. You are hopelessly naive.

Comment by Kathy Shaidle:

Oh and Dara. That list of 10 20th century inventions by Muslims? You can't come up with one, can you? Nope.

Comment by Dara:

Here's the link Bruce: [External Link]

Moot point though since she doesn't deny the charge, just the idea that racism isn't justified and that since everyone else is doing it, she'd be stupid not to.

I don't see how that comment of mine could be construed as biased against anyone except those who put forward the idea that "might makes right". Perhaps you're overestimating how much I think Kathy's worth. Please reread assuming the value of a pile of dung on a hot summer day.

Kathy, I'll make you a deal. I'll do the research and find out if I can actually find any examples if you can simply provide your source for insight into the Jamaican community that I requested in the post linked above. A link or info about a publication will suffice, bus routes don't count. Otherwise you can just admit that you made it up because it sounds to you like it should be true.

"why do I always picture Dara as this prematurely balding young dude with a goatee?"

I don't know why, but please stop. Your mind is not the type of place I'd like to hang out in.
