If you are truly a southerner(and not a NY'er in disguise) then you know not to act like you've been doing. Now go and bring me a switch. I'm not a NYer, no way, I'm a soulfood eating Bible toting southern black man from the country. OMG, i can't believe this woman is saying bring her a switch, lol.

That is one thing I know about is switches. Believe it. I know about the strong hand of a grandmother.

aroundtheworld, what do you expect from SSA and black posters here when they read your indirectly condescending attitude towards us? Im assuming its indirect because as far as I can tell theres no axe to grinde from your part, you seem very sincere. Interesting. And yet you see nothing "indirectly condescending" of Abdul's analysis of Arabs being "greasy", "dirty", and here's the kicker: "ape-like"?

abdul's abdul, if theres someone out there that takes his posts serious enough to find offence in it..well, I've got nothing to say...besides, why would i find him personally condescending if he cals arabs apes? Im not an Arab...more importantly aroundtheworld's opinions should not be equated with abdul's

Hmm. Okay. So you're insinuating that people shouldn't take Abdul seriously. Yet you stated that he was informative.
I'm not talking about aroundtheworld. I'm just pointing out that posters tend to carry a bias in their messages, as you pretty much stated.
I am not Black but I have found certain posts on here to be condescending towards blacks. How can that be? One doesn't have to be a member of a certain ethnicity to notice attacks against that ethnicity.

Way tiki sees it:
Aroundtheworld: like blackish type boys so feels sort of black, may end up being mother to black kids so feels kinship with black plus shes not white,
PlanetAsia: had crushy on Tyra banks, so mad if someone says shes white, kind of mad cause of racists, sort of attacks too much cause already in attack mode, dont think non black can really understand black life

^^tikiitorch you seemed to hit the nail on the head. I think I mentioned being in attack mode due to contstant negativity which I make it clear I am not on here to contribute.

I'm sorry but names like Quadroon, Octoroon and mulatto are downright offensive, they sound like names for animals and it the case of mulatto[which comes from the word I think] this is very offending. I can certainly appreciate that. Rather than use Mulatto, Quadroon, or Octoroon, use Half-Caste, Quarter-Caste or Eighth-Caste respectively?
