Larry Merchant is racist.

[billeau2]

... as if "the truth" wasn't a human notion, expressed within the human language... and the ancient Greek (those who "invented" philosophy) didn't even have a word for "the truth", in fact...

Yes but the ancient greeks had many many words for the appearance of truth... Also a fact. Isn't that the basis of phenomenology?

Merchant comes from a different world. He is not willing to change because people decide that controlling language is a form of power.

**** Gregory explains very well why he believes a Black man cannot be a racist. It is not even to be taken literally but to explain something much more relevant to the concept of racism. People continue to misquote and abuse what Gregory stated:

In order to be a racist one must have the power to affect the lives of individuals. So, the white guy who works next to you, he is not the racist, the black guy using a slur, is also not the racist. The racist is the one who controls wealth and power, who can make your life a living hell, and who hates Black people. This kind of White man reads the stock charts (said tongue in cheek).

Now, whether one agrees, or disagrees with Gregory, we can at least understand what he is actually saying. Merchant is a *** who grew up at a time when Blacks and ***s were friends...He might feel like he even has somewhat of a pass. So it is not so suprising he may say something like that, Cosel was the same way, yet stuck by Ali when every major media figure was gang tackling him for his decision to not fight in the war.

Everyone knows that already, that's why Mayweather put him in his place on TV

The TS isn't black, he's actually posted photographs of himself.

He's a shit stirrer though.

He's posted a number of pictures of himself, so no idea why that other poster took his statement as an opening to attack black people. Even minus his pictures, people just need to think before they post.

exactly.. ali loved billy crystal or whatever his name is or spelled.. billy loved ali, cosel loved ali, and it seems many ***s loved ali.. they over looked his NOI stuff. and focused on the man, not the beliefs..

man... ***s died for black men in civil rights movements.. my ex *** bosses, told me, when times get tough, you take a pay cut, not your team... if you do not.. then you are not with us, and you are gone..

kinda like cinderalla man, where dudes manager sold all of his stuff to look like he was still doing well, and then, it paid off.

samurai, an expression..bushi wa kuwannedo takayoji...

samurai, often pretended to be employed and the above means never show your down side, stay up..

samurai always need to act like they just ate a big meal, even if they are starving to death. so as not to panic everyone else who look to them for strength.

Great insights as usual! reminds me of a scene in th blind Samurai where the samurai gives the kid a ball of rice, and acts like he has eaten already.

True F ag has never told me how to milk an almond yet... I wanted to ask him about Bee stings also, as I know a farmer who lets arthritic people get stung by his bees, it helps their arthritis. I was going to ask true f ag about this, but somehow I think he will just want to talk about his pecker, or some perversion.

You would love my sword trainer.. he is always about giving, of your time, your self, your soul... give away the things that you feel you need and love..

tru fphgg is wanting a rematch, and he wants me to show up and he will leave me holding a burrito and wondering, why do i trust so easily.

bees do all the work, bats too for avocados.. my uncle, ex nam vet said, do not kill anything unless you know the implications..

he was a hard core guy. he said the bible, the torah says that we should not murder, but it says nothing about killing to save others... murder is a crime. dying or killing to save another... that is the essence of humanity.. he was a bronze star winner, korean war.. guys like our dads, man, they were cut from some amazing cloth. I see old japanese guys, and they tell my wife, keep him, he is a good guy. and my wife jokingly says, something funny. like.. yeah, he is good for what? they say something back, and then we all laugh. my wife is a character, and i love it... so funny..

my dad said something to me early in life,... if you got it, share it, and GOD will bless you for it..

I tested this theory many times, and i have been broke, shared my little, only to see it bloom and come back many fold..

too religious.. ok i get that..

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

No not too religious, that is the law of attraction. Yes, always share what you have and it will indeed come back multifold. I give because I hate to see individuals in need, I don't give to get back, but the universe does not care, you will get back because that is how it works.

Especially when broke is the time to be most generous. Always worked for me.

hell yeah.. i do not know how or why, but my dad, and some japanese fortune teller told my wife, as long as he keeps doing like this, you guys will always have what you need, not what you want, but what you need.. i trust the universe to provide.
