Agreed. I have to say, I have very much enjoyed this discussion. A few of us have agreed to disagree along the way, such as myself, upsscott, and pmax. But, you know, I respect them and the manner in which they presented their respective ideas and arguments. This is pretty sensitive subject matter but, for the most part, we have all remained civil and have stayed on point. Very enjoyable.

Against that background, one participant stands apart from the rest. This Black73 guy has yet to address the actual subject matter. He has chosen instead to attack the guy he disagrees with - me. He appears unable to articulate his disagreement, or to form any sort of a reasoned counter argument, so he chooses to try to make it personal instead - with a guy he has never met, assigning all manner of undesirable personality traits, unsavory thoughts, and ulterior motives. All products of his imagination, of course, and all meant to cast me in the worst possible light.

I wouldn't blame you guys if you started to suspect that "Black73" was merely an alter ego I have created in an effort to "sock puppet" myself to help me raise additional points. He's just too convenient, too "on point", to predictable. A way too useful example of the "other side". Lacking the intellectual tools to engage in the topics at hand, all he sees is that we are discussing problems in the black community, so we must be "racists" with our own selfish motives for doing so. There can be no other explanation...

Alas, no, it's not me. I'm not that conniving, nor do I have the energy for that. Unfortunately, he appears to be quite real. Worse than that, he is representative of an intellectual underclass who are incapable of understanding these discussions, and who see a "racist" behind every tree. They are out there, they are who we are up against. And, as I've already pointed out, their presence leaves me with little hope of ever having a national discussion on these matters. The shrill fools, like Black73, will simply drown us out with their accusations of racist driven ulterior motives. What a shame that is...
