and here I go again, voluntaringly stepping in the trap. watch me go.
Haus, i did not lie. i was not maliciously misrepresenting him to cover him up. i said in my previous post here MFreitas wasn't misrepresenting you in my interpretation. yeah, his choice of words could have been better and you in your attempt to educate him, or whatever that was, made a fool of yourself by trying to show how sarcastic you were, while only showing bling rage. if you and your close friends here think that was pedagogical then i believe you're failing to see what a shot to your own foot you took there.
i shot my own foot too, when i pulled the blackface act to what i believed was a patronizing tone in yours and Natural Way's attitude torwards my so called inability to understand what you guys were writing. that was what i saw in my interpretation as the 'almost racist' way you talked down on me.
i recognized i was reinforcing racial stereotypes while trying to criticize this and apologized for that. i didn't see you apologizing for MFreitas for your enraged outburst and the subsequent "nit-picky posts full of poisonous irony". i'm not the only one in this very same thread that pointed that you pile irony over irony to make your point. that alienates people a lot and make you look like a troll, not the best way to make your point or educate anybody. but that's the way yo work: you push until people snap, so you look better in comparison.
see your remark torwards Portuguese-speaking people. pure sarcasm. the LULs is more than welcomed, but in this discussion - when we're trying to set the record straight, it doesn't work. the 'looking down upon' thing i mentioned is torwards Latins, the way you said i feel better prepared to discuss this for having been born in Brazil.
i don't, i just feel a lot of Latin countries have a better integration of blacks and whites, helping shape our perception of race in a different way than most Anglophile countries, where segregation is made much more clear [i.e: at the risk of generalizing, it always baffled me how "inter-racial" in North America is a porn sub-genre at all].
it's curious that all this happened because of different perpsectives of a racial discussion, in the end. because that's what it's all about: how you perceive other races, how do you treat people, how do you look at them. from WHERE do you look at them.
the Batman comic thread incorporates all kinds of discussions; MFreitas didn't think the racial stereotypes in the comic were strongly portraited enough to justify the discussion; me neither. he could have chosen better words to go back to the Black Glove discussion of the comic; you, specially as a moderator, could have chosen other much better ones to helping him see his faux pas. and that was that, to me.
ban me if you will, i don't care anymore. rule Barbelith with an iron hand, cast inside a Black Glove. i enjoyed the part you played, Haus, you made me think about all that. you were the infection my system needed to develop antibodies. you've been a crazy semantic adversary, and in a twisted twisted way, in the end you educated me. thank you, you won.
