People being defensive and it hindering productive conversation is such **** tbh lol and an argument exclusive to white ppl who don't want to admit they're racist or that they benefit from white supremacy

I don't think it really matters why it's racebaity, the fact that it is automatically puts people on the defensive, as youve pointed out, which reduces the possibility for productive discussion. There's a time and a place for shoving something in the face of the oblivious and entitled beneficiary.
You're going to make them mad with the argument even if you get past their defenses with a disingenuous term. It's not like these people would be perfectly willing to listen if "white" wasn't mentioned up front.

It's a very stupid observation and you should edit your last few posts into "." so that we don't have to read them. If you do I'll do the same so we can pretend this never happened.

Not useless ones that don't make relevant points and which are fit only to line bird cages.

YorkeDaddy seems to think that my posts in other threads we're directed at him. Guess, what, Yorkie, they weren't. They were general frustrations at the "What Sucks" forum in general. For example...
Actually, this was directed at several people who were basically saying you must be a racist if you don't like hip hop, kind of like a bad Jeff Foxworthy joke. I also was a bit frustrated that I was labeled subliminally racist when I said I preferred classic soul over hip hop. Seriously, everyone? Yorkie, your mistake was taking this and other comments way too personally.
Your reaction to this quote was what really set me off, Yorkie. And you know what? I wasn't talking about you at all you conceited little a**, It was actually directed at TH (sorry) and his going overboard with all these 'what sucks' threads. It had absolutely zero to do with you, pal.
And finally
There is nothing passive aggressive about this quote either. I truly do believe people here are more interested in throwing insults at each other than talking about music. It's probably why you can't get anybody new to stay. I started with Gunmouth Grace and Maajo. Grace is pretty much sporadic and Maajo is just plain gone. Guess they're not big music fans huh? Anyway, again, this was not directed at you, Yorkie.
In fact the only thing passive aggressive about this post is calling Yorkie, Yorkie, and you're damn right I'm being passive aggressive there.
Before I end this little rant with a dedication to Yorkie, I do want to thank the people who supported me here. Again, this is hardly just about me; all I did was start this thread. There are quite a few others here who are no doubt fed up with the personal attacks and insinuations. Don't worry, Hawk, I'm leaving and I won't be coming back. If everything goes right, it will be the exclusive club Dreadnought denies it is but about eight of you or so truly believes it is. If anyone does want to keep in touch, drop me a PM. I can still see them in my E-Mail.
And as promised, my dedication to YorkeDaddy. Hopefully, when the dust has settled, there will be no hard feelings, but then again, I guess I won't really know, will I?
Bye everybody
And to Yorke...
