You fill the pages with hollow words. Jim was right, after all.

Nalini Oh my goodness. Another quagmire. This note I sent yesterday, correcting your assertion that I had "retracted" something, I only sent to New Pacifica. If you want others to get it, you have my permission. I only wanted to let YOU know, and the NP list members (where I first met you) to hear my correction. That's all. > You gave your opinion about my response to Robert Knight and I extended myself to you, because you had little opportunity to know any thing of substance about me, and my life's commitments. Same can be said of me. You hardly know me at all. The difference between me and you, it seems, is that I'm judging you on what you write.....and how you conduct yourself with all these bizarre cross- posting games. But you judge me on my skin color. That I already know. But now it seems you'd LOVE to find out if I'm Jewish so that you can judge me that way as well. Tsk tsk. > > For the record: I do not acknowledge, haven given you the right to set in judgment of how, what, and the way I choose to express myself, as I have a few. Oh please. If you post messages on a public bullitan board and you lose any right to tell others what their rights are! For examply, when you write that racist statement today, "all the arrogant prerogatives of white privileged, while pretending to be Progressives, Liberals, Democrats, Greens and Pacifians" you open yourself up to the judgement of any reader. They don't have to ask your permission. If you want to avoid getting frank feedback, then simply don't make your notices public, that's all! > White people who use the ploy of "reverse racism" gained ground because pmia leadership acted irresponsibly by letting them get away with this absurdity unchallenged. First of all, I agree with something Fred said a long time ago. We're all part of the same race, and that's the human race. Second, I suspect they are different definitions of race, both literal and in the venacular or every day use. I see "racism" as "discrimination or prejudice based on race." Your repeated generalizations about "white Pacificans" and "Jewish people" are, in my mind, prejudiced statements. If you are intent on repeating them, you risk getting the same "slam" that you got from me. > > The people made in america, (pmia) can be prejudice, but not racist; According to the dictionary, prejudice based on race IS racism, and I'm getting the DISTINCT impression that you are prejudiced against whites and jews, even though you don't intend to be! >because we cannot deny white people or a white person an advantage, opportunity, justice, employment, a place to live, a loan, or other necessities of life including life itself, (as in unabated cop killings and the growing number of vigilante summery executions) based on that prejudice, as white people do every hour.< Do you understand that in this day and age there are people of color who hold positions of power and there are many "whites" who don't? > You have the right Nalini, to express how you feel or think about something I say or have said, and I have shown my willingness to respect that. But, for you to act, as you have, as if you have the right to couch me, and tell me how I should express myself, is why I tried to educate you off line in hopes of avoiding what you have now made unavoidable. Let the record show, I definately don't want to couch you. We're both just sharing our opinions. > My remarks to Mr. knight were not, nor were they intended to be racists, anti-Jewish, anti-Male or anti-white. I said that. I said that it's not your intent. But it's just how your remarks sounded. You're dealing with the fallout. > I'm not intimidated by your being white, female or perhaps even Jewish. OK....I'll tell you. I'm not Jewish. Does that make you feel better? In fact, having been raised by two secular parents, I was free to choose my own religion, which I did in my late teens. I'm a practising Vedandist, and we believe that all religions are fundamentally different paths to the same One.
