person who is religiously attached to a particular computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see religious issues). Usually found with a specifier; thus, "Cray bigot", "ITS bigot", "APL bigot", "VMS bigot", "Berkeley bigot". Real bigots can be distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that they refuse to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or technology is threatening to obsolete the favoured tool. It is truly said "You can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much.


This is a term for bigot.......lol

I dont like any restrictions. I think if someone is so against age, weight, skin color, etc. Just put it in your damn profile. I really hate it when some bozo says something stupid to me directly on the forums and I cannot contact him privately.

Or I really want to know right away who is a judgmental a$$hole BEFORE I take the time to respond!!

not for you , there is not even one person on the face of the earth that is not judgemental. so i guess that makes everyone an a$$hole. for every guy u have ever dated that did not fit ur liking well isnt that being judgemental? u judge him nad didnt like the outcome. so everyohne is judgemental even the ones who say they are not

But it might seem shockingto hear this from ME ,but i think alot of you are over reacting to kittenshere, she has her opinion on who /what she's attracted to but i think the reason alot of you are so insulted by what she's saying is because maybe deep down your just like her?.....you'll never say what she's saying ,but if you think about YOUR pass dates/ relationships how many of them were with people outside of your race/culture?....like they say "Actions speak louder then words"

This doesn't apply to me. I have dated some black and Hispanic men in the past. Although I'm usually not attracted to Asian men, there are some exceptions to that. I did date 1 Asian man that I was attracted to.

Im actually embarrassed just reading their posts at how fake they sound! lolol

Anywayyyyy,,,,,boy o boy your poor thread certainly took on a whole new life of its own didnt it?? lmao Have a good evening. :)

yes and u will never quit trying to make something out of nothing. there is always someone who wants to start trouble. by the way i am not a racist at all but there are people who will try to turn and innocent subject into something totally different than what it was meant. gotta love the forum. and yes i do have my preference


NOT TRUE.
I am not talking about your preferences.
I do not care who you date.
I am talking about following statement, kkkiten:


people on here though should only go after white if they are white and black if htey are black. if ur black then u shoudltn even message a white woman. but then again there are some white women who date black. im one who is totally agaisnt it. but thats jsut my choice.


THAT statement is racist.^^^^Unless you think that Jim Crow laws were not racist.

Let me try to explain again... this is not just for blondie...she does not seem to get it anyway...
(based on wiki)
The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enacted in the Southern and border states of the United States and enforced between 1876 and 1965. They mandated "separate but equal" status for black Americans, and were (mostly) anulled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
One segment of those laws were the anti-miscegenation laws, also known as miscegenation laws. Those were laws that banned interracial marriage and sometimes interracial sex between whites and members of other races.

Here is example from Florida:

"Any Negro man and white woman, or any white man and Negro woman, who are not married to each other, who shall habitually live in and occupy in the nighttime the same room shall each be punished by imprisonment not exceeding twelve (12) months, or by fine not exceeding five hundred ($500.00) dollars."


Similar laws were also enforced in Nazi Germany and in South Africa during the Apartheid.

So... when you say YOU don't date outside of your race, I don't really care.
But, when you say that members of one race SHOULD ONLY GO after members of that SAME RACE... THEN you are making a RACIST statement.

And you can say whatever you want about not being racist, but THAT STATEMENT WAS A RACIST STATEMENT.

Capiche?

She is entitled to her opinion. However if an opinion is inaccurate, ignorant, or flat out racist. Then other people are entitled to criticize that person for their comments. Telling a black person not to contact a white person is racist. That is completely different that stating "I'm not attracted to black men" or any other group for that matter.


Also,,,,you touched on what i was saying in an earlier post id posted about some of these women trying to impress others in your thread by sounding holier than thou. Im actually embarrassed just reading their posts at how fake they sound! lolol


This is not true. I'm not being "fake" just to impress others. I'm simply stating my honest viewpoint.

^^^ And your argument is what?


some of these women trying to impress others in your thread by sounding holier than thou. Im actually embarrassed just reading their posts at how fake they sound


It might come as a surprise, but some people actually have strong beliefs when it comes to equality, or racism... and have enough brains to form an argument...

I am not sure what exactly are you embarrassed about? I would be embarrassed if I thought that Jim Crow laws were good... or if I believed that some people are better than others just on the basis of their skin color.

I am NOT commenting on preferences, but on normative statements that were made.
If you agree with those, than own them up - come out and say it.

I do judge the men I date. I judge how they carry a conversation. How do they smell? Do they make eye contact? NOT ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, EYES, HOW TALL THEY ARE, HOW MUCH THEY WEIGHT, IF THEIR WERE BLESSED TO HAVE 2 WORKING LEGS!! My list goes on....does he call me the second I get in the car saying that was fun? Does my phone start blowing up with text messages? Oh yeah kittenshere I judge my dates but I would never compare myself to you!!!

I added to this post after I read further....I would have never responded to "kittenshere" if I had read her previous posts. Everyone please forgive me. After seeing what she wrote and how she refers to her fellow human being....well enough said:(


almondcookie ur right i wouldnt want my daughter to date much less marry one. but freinds is great jsut nothing beyond that. would u date what u are not intereested in .......the answer is no u would not. if blacks are not my interest then why would i date them? i dont feel im doing anything wrong im jsut doing what i feel is right for me.

Most women have experienced discrimination........that is why we are so appalled at her behavior....and it isn't just about race. It is about sexual orientation, religious and yes race. Most women are not like her most have had to pull theirselves up by the boot straps and deal with plenty....Actions do speak louder than words.

Quackers and cookies
Cookies don't quack and ducks don't whisper
It looks like you don't have a whisper (of truth) in you
Ducks know it's best to fly south in the winter
Some how you need to understand (if that's possible)
That this is America and people are given the right of freedom of association by the United States Constitution.
Possibly it might seep into your creepy mind that preferences DO NOT necessarily equate to predjudice.
But with people like yourself, the rush to condemn is a priority
That exceeds all other ambitions

kittenshere your quote: almondcookie if u dont have anything good to say dont say anyting at all. ur accusations are stupid. never accuse one when u have no idea what ur talking about or who ur even talking about. since u dont know me personally u have nothing further to say about me.

First of all, if you can't stand someone's opinion differing from your own then maybe you shouldn't be in the forums, it's not a place for those who can't take the judgment/criticism/opinions of others.

Secondly, I've read this entire forum, along with each and every incoherent post you have made. A racist is a racist.....you can simply say that you 'prefer' to date w/in your race and leave it at that. But, unfortunately you didn't, you opened yourself up for a royal hosing when you posted the things you did in regards to whom should be allow to contact whom, about races "sticking" to their own, about 'blacks chasing down whites'....and the drivel, nonsensical, racist remarks go on and on. Why don't you just drag out the white robes and burning crosses now and admit to being a racist. If it is something you believe in so strongly and wholeheartedly then by all means stop being a coward and hiding behind your utterances and cries of "preferences".

Preferences are just that, whether it be to date an older/young gentleman, someone with a particular eye/hair/height/body type/lifestyle, etc. etc. , nationality, religion, or any number of other things that might make you have second thoughts about dating someone else. But, unfortunately you went way beyond simple "preferences" and into the flames of racism.

You should really spend your time educating yourself on spelling and growing beyond your backward prejudices. It's quite apparent that there is a fundamental difference in how you classify yourself and if you consider yourself to have "preferences", then I'd sure hate to see what your definition of true "racism" would be. People like you have nothing better to do then spout off hatred under the guise of racial preferences....my best advice to you is just stay in your trailer and wait for Jerry Spring or Maury to call you!!!!!!!

Nobody can force you to date outside your preferences and nobody would have slammed you if you had been a bit more thoughtful and eloquent, instead of just being so blatantly rude and uncouth! I could stereotype you just due to the area in which you live, but then that would surely be an insult to the others in your area..........what is it they say about every village has an idiot??? I hear yours is missing you right about now!

no lilbee. it does not matter how i would have worded it ..there is always soomeone who will find fault in it. and its not her opinion i cant stand...its the fact she is accuseing me being something im not. i will not admit to being a racist when i aitn one. a racist is not likeing a certain race at all ..well i happen to like all races jsut my prefence not to date all races. if that is hard for u to understand than that is ur problem...not mine. myabe u should take ur own advice and get educated. as far as spouting off hatred ..think about the things u have said..full of hatred.its like the black man who started this post said he wished more people would put it in their profile of what they want and dont wnat about races. if he doesnt have a problem with it then neither should u. he has not attacked me nor have i attacked him. reading some of his post he seems like a nice man. i am not a racist waht i am is a good woman who unfortunatly come across people like u who wnat to make a mountain out of a molehill. why dont u grow up and realize u are no better than me. ever heard the saying remove the LOG from ur own eye so u can see to remove the STICK from someone else's eye. after all u have said .....u think about that for awhile.

I have nothing to contribute to this thread outside of a simple observation.

This is the biggest "walking-on-eggshells" intellectual circle jerk thread I've seen in a while.

I think someone of you need to step back and really take a look at things.

Kittenshere honestly why are you letting some strangers off the Internet annoy you?So they are calling you a racist,so what.Why do you care what these people think?Just let it roll off your back.I only date within my race and i couldn't give a frig if others call me a racist for this.That's their problem not mine.I know what i am and what i am not so some strangers opinion of me is irrelevant.


You are missing the entire point. Very few people are criticizing her because she isn't interested in black men. She is being criticized because she stated that a black person should NOT date or contact a white person. Who other people date is none of her concern. See messages 61 and 147. BTW I'm black and I could care less if you and kittenshere wouldn't date me because of my race. I don't expect every woman to be interested in me.
