Dude, seriously. Your whole first reply to me was focused completely on race. My apologies if my words triggered you. Now you want to call me...
Is it comfortable up there on your cross? Like I said. It's all about politics now, and that's a shame. My apologies for all the "whiteness"...
And you think having that chip on your shoulder is going to lead to any kind of solution?
