In other words, my point was almost everything someone says at some point will / can be taken as insensitive. But anyways, when called out on that hypocrisy, it is simply deny, obfuscate, and attack again. For this, he is applauded. Go figure."
This dear krissy is a total distortion of what went on and I deeply resent your suggestion that I was - in any way - racist. You are posting a totally distorted and poisonous version of our exchange.
I did not IN ANY WAY accuse you of insensitivity. That was the point made by Chaos not me.
I simply pointed out that your joke was unfunny and that a few folks here who had expressed sympathy when you posted what was on the face of it a genuine remark about seeking help with an addiction probably felt foolish afterwards. You blew it up into something more serious.
I compared your joke to the sort of joke I commonly encountered when working with Navajo indians. I spent several months with them. Have you?
As I also pointed out i regularly challenge people for racism. My record is spotless in this regard.
You accuse me now of obfuscation. Totally NOT true. Please look again at our exhange and stop making distorted accusations.
It is YOU who should learn you have made a mistake on this occasion.
