YOUR light ? What if most people don't agree with your light ?

Mangolo,
I agree racial profiling is terrible, and just institutionalized racism, there's really no too ways about it. I got harassed after 9/11 as well, fairly seriously, so I think that part of it was just an overdose of paranoia.
As for race, it's interesting you bring it up. I realized I had mental pictures of everyone here. I thought you and Niki were both black.
Wulf as well (okay, that was a joke.) I know what Wulf, Frem and Pirate look like, so I don't have to guess. It never occurred to me that Kathy or Sig might be non-white, but it does now... IIRC they live in a white minority area.
The internet is strangely anonymous that way.

My eye:
Where I live it is quite a beautiful blend. 30% Hawaiian or Part-Hawaiian, 15% Filipino, 15% Japanese, 15% European descent, and a bunch of other ethnicities.

Then you DISCUSS, you NEGOTIATE, something which, despite all his trashtalk, Wulf does in fact seem to making his best stab at - and gettin mucha nothin but sweat and regret back.
Yeah, telling someone to siddown and shut up when what they want in their hearts is to make the world a better place for everyone, even if they're going about it in a messed up kinda way - that's NOT a plan imma get on board with, and never will be.
Frankly, I find it offensive.

Thanks, now I can use your retina scan to steal your identity 
Frem
I just give Wulf a rough time because I think he's race baiting to make himself the topic of conversation, sorta like Kanye West.

Mwahahaha. You only have my iris. You're going to have to go a lot deeper for the retina.
