I think there's one city on that list that really does not belong...

[Donger]

This really got under my skin.. primarily because it was my own cousin who wrote it.

Sounds like another pissed off, arrogant, condescending leftist that wants to get rid of the EC to me.

[ENDelt260]

Jumped out at you, too, huh?

[KCTitus]

Why? Anger, hatred, intolerance...it's ugly

[Metrolike]

Jumped out at you, too, huh?

Whats wrong with St.Louis?

[Braincase]

Not to put down the intent of the post, but if a skinhead were trying to recruit on this board, that would be a really subtle way of creating anti-semitic sentiment.

lots of Starbucks nearby. :hmmm:

[ENDelt260]

Can you not see the word 'east' on your monitor?

[Donger]

Isn't East St. Louis in Illinois?

[KCTitus]

Interesting, explain, please.

[ENDelt260]

Yes.

[Metrolike]

Are you joking, or do you really need an explanation?
(I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything, just don't wanna insult you by starteing to explain)

[KCN]

:homer:: Book me a ticket to St. Louis!

You mean East St. Louis?

:homer:: Is there any other St. Louis?

[ENDelt260]

Interesting, explain, please.
"Look at this uppity Jew bastard looking down on good midwestern Christian folk!"

etc.

[ENDelt260]

heh.

[KCTitus]

Who is the 'jew bastard' in this case? Sorry, Im not trying to be obtuse, Im obviously missing something here.

[ENDelt260]

Josh's cousin.

[KCN]

By the way, your cousin forgot to mention Houston or Dallas. Not to mention Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Denver, New Orleans, Kansas City, St. Louis, San Antonio, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Columbus, or Phoenix.

All cities in red states.

[Donger]

No he didn't.

[KCTitus]

Josh's cousin.

Josh who? Im going to file this under 'way over my head'...Ive missed something here.

[Ultra Peanut]

Okay...
maybe there's a misunderstanding. *shrug*

My cousin is not Jewish. (wondering where that came from)I think it's the menorah.

[ENDelt260]

Okay...
maybe there's a misunderstanding. *shrug*

My cousin is not Jewish, nor am I.
No misunderstanding. BrainCase was simply making a comment... not about you. I was explaining where he was coming from.

It's a hypothetical scenario.

If a person were anti-Semitic, they could take something like your cousin's text, regardless of whether he's Jewish or not, and run with it.

[Donger]

Yes.

So how large is East St. Louis?

[ENDelt260]

Josh who? Im going to file this under 'way over my head'...Ive missed something here.
Dude... the guy who started the thread.

[Saulbadguy]

I think it's the menorah.
And the Hebrew in his sig.

[Cochise]

Pretty much standard fare from today's Democratic party....

[KCTitus]

Dude... the guy who started the thread.

Ok. I'll shut up now. I missed the point, but that's ok.

[Metrolike]

Joshua's Gen said "My cousin said..." He also has a bunch of jewish denomination stuff (his av and his sig line). And then what ENDelt said.

[KCTitus]

Joshua's Gen said "My cousin said..." He also has a bunch of jewish denomination stuff (his av and his sig line). And then what ENDelt said.

I dont have AV's or Sig's turned on, so I couldnt see that....sorry.

[Saulbadguy]

Its the letter tav and the letter aleph. I dont think it really means anything.

[ENDelt260]

Ok. I'll shut up now. I missed the point, but that's ok.
It really is (and, no, I'm not being a jerk). BrainCase's post was just an offhanded comment (least, that's how I took it)... it's gotten way more discussion that it was worth, IMO.

[Lightning Rod]

It is just the typical City folk stereotyping of everyone else. It is really no different than the (welfare crack-ho-momma of 12) stereotypes the country folk toss back.

[Braincase]

Dude, it's aimed towards christians in general (not Jews).

And I'm the farthest thing from a skinhead (I support Israel).

*Agree about east St. Louis BTW :p

I've had to suffer the rantings of dimwitted skinheads, and the most dangerous kind of racist, the smart neo-nazi who weaves an elaborate web to try and snare folks that might not have gone down that path otherwise. I guess you could say I've profiled them. I'm not that familiar with your posts, but I see a low post count, I see a post that draws the eye due to more Judaica than I usually see. I read comments allegedly from a cousin, and there are blatant insults to rural church goers.

Maybe due to some of my social concerns, I'm hypersensitive to it.

That said, I don't think there's a large Hasidic community in East St. Louis.

[Metrolike]

Its the letter tav and the letter aleph. I dont think it really means anything.

Well to people who don't know Hebrew, the sig line screams "I'm Jewish".

Joshua's Gen, if you are not jewish why is your avatar and sig line such as they are?

I think he actually might be what you initially thought of him.

Haha. Nooooooo...

[Garcia Bronco]

To the original thread post:


I see a person who thinks they love Amercia...but clearly hates Amercians

[Metrolike]

Dude, are you trying to stir up crap about me?
I don't lie, sheesh.

I'll even post my picture for all the trouble it's worth.

I'm not trying to stir up anything...

What's the point of your post, if not to stirr crap up?

[ENDelt260]

Goshdangit, BrainCase... look what you've started. :p

[Metrolike]

Yes, I have that stuff there (I haven't posted in awhile so I forgot they were set to those things) because I'm one of those "crazy evangelical christians" who happens to have a passion for studying out God and His word.. which is why the comment got under my skin - from my own cousin.

I just came here to ask for perspective on it, since my reasoning is clouded sometimes by emotion.

I see. Well I was just stating what it looked like. What I said made sense at the time.

[Braincase]

We've had other whackjobs post anti-something or other crap on the board. Just trying to stay vigilant, not vigilante.

[ENDelt260]

MOHillbilly makes a distinction between skinhead and neo nazi.

Tru - and the distinction between neo-nazi and klan.

Hey, I'm not here to make his argument for him... but, when he identifies himself as a skinhead, he's referring to some group of people whose purpose isn't hatred of nonwhites.

[KCTitus]

Whatever this purpose of this thread...Ive read worse at democraticunderground and that didnt have me running into the arms of any hate group.

[Amnorix]

Sounds like another pissed off, arrogant, condescending leftist that wants to get rid of the EC to me.

Has nothing to do with the EC, actually. Bush wins either way.

[MOhillbilly]

Lots of NA/Klan *skins* are into witchcraft care of the SS Austura(sp?) odinism ect.
Bottomline they are a joke.
They appeal to the young uneducated middleclass doucebag jock type.
All the more fun to kick there teeth in.

[PastorMikH]

Those big cities would get awful hungry if it weren't for all those inbred, uniformed, redneck, Christians in the midwest. And since a lot of those same people have a big part in producing coal, natural gas, and refining oil so the city dwellers can heat their homes, they'll probably get pretty cold too.


On the other hand, I'm pretty sure those inbread hicks can make it without the city slickers.

[MOhillbilly]

*highly doubts any racists would be sporting Judaica emblems rather than burning or breaking them*




Lots of jewish skinheads there slick. Israel has it own firms.
If youd like i can put you in touch.
And i wouldnt put it past a NA to take the route of look what someone else did,just to put it out there instead of coming out and saying they are NA/WP and this is my agenda.

[MadProphetMargin]

Their office is right next to the African-American KKK Caucus.

Major Rep for that! Awesome perspective :thumb:

[MOhillbilly]

Some of the coolest people ive talked to. There are also black,mexican,asian and every other ethnic and religious back ground.
Were not all parodies of what society wants the mass to believe.

[patteeu]

This really got under my skin.. primarily because it was my own cousin who wrote it.

The thing that jumps out at me is that your cousin lumped East St. Louis in with all the big cities on his list. Where does THAT come from?

[patteeu]

I think there's one city on that list that really does not belong...

LOL, I guess I should have read at least one response before thinking I had a contribution to make to this thread. My idiot quotient just went up by one point. You're the man, Psicosis.

[patteeu]

So in conclusion; I'm not a skinhead. ROFL

*highly doubts any racists would be sporting Judaica emblems rather than burning or breaking them*

(It's all water on a ducks back, I'm just poking in good fun)

Anyway, the real point is: thanks to all for all your feedback.
It was genuinely appreciated, and I've calmed down a bit some since seeing these comments from my cousin. :)

Good times :thumb:

At the risk of belaboring this, Braincase's original observation was that it would be a subtle way for an anti-semite to rile folks up over what a presumably jewish cousin said about christians.

So the fact that you have Judaica emblems in your sig/av fit right into his theory.

Having said that, I understand that you've already assured us this isn't the case, which is all I need to hear.

It was an astute observation on Braincase's part though. The thought wouldn't have crossed my mind.

[patteeu]

Dude! NO.
sheesh, some people don't listen.

I love black people.
I love red people.
I love yellow people.
I love white people.
I love brown people.
I love blue people.
I love purple people.
I love polka-dotted people.



Well you can go stay paranoid somewhere else, because it's pointless around here - I have no agenda. I came here with a legitimate bother as evidenced by my prior posts (if you'd actually read them).

I've already spoken the truth with evidence, breed ignorance and hate aside from me.

I'm 19, male, love the Chiefs, love God, love my mom and pops, support Israel, and love my fellow man.

I'm a born-again, blood-bought believer in Jesus Christ, with a passion for God's Word, and His people.

I've shown absolutely no affinity towards anything skin-head, I was even annoyed by MOhillbilly's profession of being one (hello?), and it's ironic he deems it neccessary to pester me in here.

:shake:


Relax man, he's not pestering you. You seem to be under the impression that all skinheads are bigots. He's trying to point out that that is not the case. I think everyone here understands where you are coming from now. It's all good.
