It seems as though people have misunderstood me here. I was trying to make a
sarcastic comment directed at Mr. Varkevisser and now people think I'm the
fuckin' Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan or something.
Let me clear things up here:
Q: Do I actually want black people to leave America?
A: NO! And I didn't mean to say that I did at all.
Q: So what was I trying to say?
A: When Mr. Varvekisser said something to the extent that "If black people
think the Grammies are racist, then they shouldn't be in them," and WHAT I WAS
TRYING TO SAY was that, "Oh yeah? Well, black people think America is racist
too. Are you trying to say they shouldn't live here anymore"?
Maybe I should have said that. Now I've probably made a hundred enemies tonight
just because my sarcasm wasn't clear. Maybe I should stop being sarcastic.
Sarcasm doesn't work on the Internet.
Sheesh.
This whole thread is stupid. Whoever brought up this whole Lauryn Hill/Grammy
thing, I want to come right up and kick your ass.
Just kidding. I was only being sarc...oh never mind.
