It's a beautiful thing how we can all agree to disagree...

LOL, just as i said, if you don't follow lock step with him in what HE percieves as to be the way, the truth, then you are NOT religious as he has claimed of some. You are one who despises the good book he claims. You are one of the heathens. lol
It's ok though Box, get your red pen, stop pacing around the room. Every now and then you will get something spicy like my post to break down and be critical of. Got your red pen ready oh great follower of the verb??? Ok go.........

There are so many grammatical errors in the above, I wouldn't even know where to begin. But maybe that should be your posting strategy from now on, i.e. overload your posts with so many errors that they become mazes (which would only be a true reflection of your mind, anyway) that not even the most adventurous, courageous or intrepid among us would dare explore, just out of fear of getting lost and running out of red ink.

He tarnished an otherwise useful message with the use of:

a) "Uncle Tom" - a phrase that I consider probably the most racist insult of them all. I don't like anyone calling anyone else an "Uncle Tom". It's just meant to hurt, has almost no meaning anymore other than to demonstrate that someone may actually think for him/herself.

b) "It Is What It Is" - Automatic twenty point deduction from the grade for any use of this atrocity.

c) "KFC, shoeshine, negro, n*****, monkey, chicken, etc." - You just sound like you are trying to appeal to legitimately racist whites for some reason when you toss that nonsense in for no real reason. Just ignorant insults regardless of who says them that guarantee that the only people that may agree with you are those that already agree with you and that those that don't won't even pay attention to the other words.

I am not an uncle.

Maybe the guy in the vid is a reverse racist. Maybe he's someone who thinks hes white on the inside while black on the out. (I think one of the premier race baiters said that about someone once.)

And what's up with your criticism of the "It is what it is" remark? It is grammatically correct, you know?

And in paragraph "c" who is the "you" you are addressing?

But I think the guy in the vid was behaving badly and absurdly to get across his point. And the main point that I took away from the vid was that many black people only have value to other blacks and identity politicians when their deaths were caused by whites. And the cigar smoker's observation certainly seems to be valid.

Oh, "you" like "yousall" or something. Anyone, even a black dude that's trying to make a reasonable point about something and may have a bit more influence making that point to the target audience as opposed to some cracker ass honky - you start screaming all that stereotype stuff with no comedic context whatsoever, nobody is going to even try to take your point seriously. They're just going to flip out that you made all those "shoeshine fried chicken" comments. It's just a stupid distraction that overwhelms his point even if the guy thinks he has some right to say things like that just because he's black.

I can't stand it. It's lazy. It is what it is? It's what people say when they have no answer for something but expect you to believe it anyway. Or when they just plain run out of things to say altogether about something and use it like a period at the end of a paragraph. But usually, it just means that they refuse to dig a little deeper to try to express something important to them. They feel strongly about it but are too perplexed to come with something useful so they just babble, "...but, it is what it is.", shrug their shoulders, shake their head, and that's supposed to carry some great philosophical meaning that puts it all in perspective for me. Give me a break with that crap.

[johnhannibalsmith]

Of course, this guy sees it a little different.

Or maybe it's what people say when there is no other option or alternative open to them. Do you handicap horses the way you have over-handicapped this expression? I surely hope not for your bankroll's sake.

Great grammar. And you complain about the grammatically correct, "It is what is"?

We surely are living in strange days.

P.S. And I didn't make any of those "stereotype stuff" comments. I think the cigar smokin' "black dude" did.
P.P.S. Yousall have a nice nite now, ya hear?
