^ If this is your smoking gun, YorkeDaddy, then on the evidence presented so far I agree with the appraisal of MicShazam and Neapolitan. It's not fair to lay the blame for segregated water fountains at rubbersoul's door, but you seem to be painting him as an outright racist regardless. To your credit, you are fair and factual enough to have included in your quote the bit that I have bolded, which rather undercuts your complaint, imo, because it is both uncontroversial and amicable.

To try and get a bit of context, I read on through that hip-hop thread expecting to find some "snide, passive aggressive comments", but instead I found this from RS:-

^ Another inoffensive post as far as I can see, which leaves me wondering why you have any issue with RS at all.

Well we were pointing out that Rubber Soul seemed to be showing subconscious racial bias as opposed to outright racism. Dismissing that out of hand and then trying to pass it off as normal for older folk is exactly the kind of thing that keeps subconscious racial biases around, which can be frustrating even if the person specifically being spoken to isn't necessarily showing any real lack of character, just lack of self-awareness. Especially since well-meaning people like you question whether we're not just imagining things (not a shot at you, just saying). YorkeDaddy is certainly a cock goblin though.

^ Thanks for trying to explain the problem, Batlord. As others have suggested, it's beginning to look like an over-analysed storm in a teacup to me. Nevertheless, I can't quite avoid topping up the teacup with another splash of analysis:-

(i) Imputing someone for subconscious racial bias based on MB posts sounds like a bit of a stretch to me. As we all know, based on the words of a post, it's often hard enough just to tell what's a joke and what's a serious comment, let alone something as subtle as subconscious bias.
(ii) I understand that coming up against subconscious racial bias can be frustrating. It's a pity that YD didn't spell that out as clearly, as dispassionately, as you have just done when he posted:-

^ I appreciate the bit in brackets, thanks. Now I'm left wondering what on earth a "cock goblin" is.
