Well said. 
Are you implying that Black people always sound like idiots when they speak. I think ALL uneducated people sound like idiots when they speak but clearly being in south dakota doesn't give you the opportunity to know otherwise. Ignorant people make me sick.

LOL! Where did I ever say that? Hey buddy you know what there is such a thing as black on white racism and guess what you qualify. My point is that he uses slang jargin in everything he says and he is an idiot. I didn't say that black people are idiots. I didn't say black men speaking are uneducated. You read into this what you wanted because you want to point the finger. Looks like someone is trying to find racist statements. It wasn't coming from me. I would never make a hasty generalization about one race, religion, sex, nationality, etc but looks like you sure did. Who is the uneducated one now?
A wise man once said it is better to be thought a fool and say nothing then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. You my friend proved to be a fool.

LMFAO 
Holy crapolla Mr bookie. Now on some things I will agree with you. Has the African gotten the shaft over the years? Sure, absolutely. Has slavery been going on, and continues, all over the world. Check on that one as well. But do you really think Africans jumped on a ship to go pick cotton in the New World. Nope, the vast majority of "workers" were captured by rival clans in Africa.
Still say your version of genocide is extremely flawed. When the black folks ( who survived ) got off the ship they were expected to work. They were not exterminated. That wouldn't make any sense if some Whitey family just purchased you to pick cotton. In the 3 examples I gave, and there are many more going on in Africa depending on who has the most AK47's at the current moment, the sole purpose is/was to liquidate the enemy. That did not happen in N. America. Do not get me wrong. Slavery of another human is vile. But what happened to the Blacks in the US was never, ever genocide.

Read the words above. Do they look familiar. This is what I was referring to when I made my comment highlighted in blue. Can you explain what you meant? And please don't call me racist for pointing out facts. If south dakota has a population that includes less than 1% percent black(according to 2005 census) then maybe just maybe you don't know better. If I was somewhere with VERY little diversity I'd have some preconceived stereotypes regardless of how educated I was. You can be ignorant and not be racist. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you were the former. Have a good night.

I will leave it alone after this but you basically said b/c he speaks in "ebonics" or slang terms you inferred that he was black. Am I missing something? Also let me repeat ignorance is different than racism and with S. Dakotas demographics looking like this below people will give you a pass for being ignorant on certain things:
In 2005, the Census Bureau estimated that 88.5% of South Dakotans were White, 8.8% were American Indian or Alaskan Native, 2.1 were Hispanic (of any race), 0.8% were Black, 0.7% were Asian, while 2.1% belonged to more than one race.

The funny thing is you know nothing about me, where I came from, where I lived most of my life or for that matter if I am really from South Dakota. Yet between you and I you are the one making hasty generalizations. This is the last I am going to engage in this conversation because you appear both ignorant and a racist making the extremely hasty generalization you continue to make time and time again.

There was a 2005 census? 
If there was I wasn't included in it. 
Sure it matters HOW it happened you pleb. What would be the point in some plantation owner gassing/shooting a whole family that he wanted to work the land. None. Sorry if that sounds crass and obtuse. But genocide, strictly speaking, is the calculated determined effort to wipe a particular group of people off the map. There is no positive spin on slavery.
Don't get me started on MLK. He was a brilliant man, imo. And if the rest of the world adopted a tenth of what he was trying to preach - look at the contents of a person's heart, not the color of his skin - then we wouldn't be in the absolute divisional political shitstorm that we are in now.

The funny thing is you can't answer my question. Or what you meant by what I'd highlighted. Everyone knows that when folks can't answer questions they go on the attack. I did ask a very simple question but hey what should I have expected. Funny thing is I was giving you the benefit of the doubt saying you were from South Dakota. If you aren't from there then my bad . When i say people who live in areas that aren't diverse WHATSOEVER might have preconceived misconceptions of those outside their race you think that's racist?!?
BOTTOM LINE: Can you explain what you meant by what you said below or would you like to just keep attacking me and deflecting the question?
"IF Big Ben was black. WTF I thought he was. He sure likes people to think that he is. If anyone ever listened to this idiot talk you would understand".
"My point is that he uses slang jargin in everything he says and he is an idiot"
I doubt you'll answer but maybe look in the mirror and you'll realize that A you are too ignorant to realize you're racist or B you have sterotyped a certain group based on prejudice. But hey I guess I'm the racist one.

This is the last time I will discuss this with you and frankly I don't know you an explaination but I had this exact same discussion with a gentlemen about 13 years ago when I was living in DC. This gentlemen kept thinking everything was racist and kept reading racism into everything. Guess what sometimes a comment is just a comment.
Ben Roethlisberger consistently speaks like a man who is from where I lived the vast majority of my life than someone who is from Lima, OH. He doesn't use words that most people can understand and some of the words he does use don't even make sense in the context he says them. In other words, he is an idiot. Finally, his consistent uses of slang and other jargon is unbecoming. I know he can speak without using colloquial terms but he seems to think he is cool speaking the way he does. Again he is an idiot.
Not once did I say that all blacks (or any other race for that matter) are idiots or uneducated. Not once did I say that blacks are uneducated. Instead you infer what you want into my statement. From where I am from that is racism. But hey be happy the way you want to see it. Again I am done with this because as I have found in life that are just as many black racists as white racists and frankly this issue will never be put to rest until both sides can get past their own color vision. I had over two decades ago... apparently you cannot.

I never make a hasty generalization about one race
Blue is what you said my friend. You wouldn't make hasty generalizations but you assumed I was black b/c I deemed your comment ignorant/racist. Hmmm - I guess you must be black to defend prejudicial comments made about blacks. I would have let this go if you just said, " hey man I'm from south dakoka and I don't know any better"...lol

If reading this, "IF Big Ben was black. WTF I thought he was. He sure likes people to think that he is. If anyone ever listened to this idiot talk you would understand".
And inferring that you made an ignorant comment makes me racist then so be it. If you asked 10 people what they thought when you said this I'd bet you be calling 8 of them racist b/c they'd infer something similar to what I did.
