Don't worry pal, I think humour's the best way to tackle racist lunatics - that's my personal opinion - and I make fun of them as often as i can - takes their power away I reckon.

I'm agreeing with my new best friend, Cashy--this is what I wrote on the dog question thread...perhaps it's more appropriate here....

"I agree that one effective method of dealing with offensive people/groups is satire or any other way of showing how absurd are their positions--Dave Chappell comes to mind...this brilliant African American comedian/satirist made mincemeat out of the Klan by totally mocking them...or his comedy skit, "The Niggars," one of the most brilliant skits I have ever seen in which a white family has "Niggar" as a last name--the endless playing with the word in the context of this family was not only hilarious it showed racial prejudice for the absurdity it really is....both I and my African American partner watch this skit periodically on DVD--and it gets more brilliant the more you watch it....

"Of course, there are definitely different approaches to uncomfortable topics...but satire and even broader humor can be very effective..."

Bird, Morrison made a comment on the dog thread that got some attention.

I would love to be everyone's BFF!!

Not your fault, Cashy--been diagnosed bipolar for years! :H

((((Lushy)))) BFF!! And never mind that extra 100lbs, baby!!

Oh, Bird--sorry, the Cashy thing started with me ALMOST getting upset about misunderstanding a post on the "dog question" thread...Cashy swooped right in and straightened me out! (Well, "straight" and me don't really go together--:H )

And, even before that, on the "wedding" thread Lushy and I exchanged something about surreptitiously getting rid of photos of us that look bad--even though those photos actually belong to someone else...

You can be BFF too! Best Friends Forever (the sort of thing Paris Hilton would say in a text message...) ((((Bird))))

I think collecting BFF's becomes very insincere at some point. I believe I will change my member title to reflect my status with her before the rest of you can.

Ohhhhhh, Luuuushy--how small, how limited....BFF is ever unfolding, fluid and irridescent--infinitely able to encompass each and every worthy creature....

Your words are too ethereal for my pea brain this evening.

Never mind, Lushy...tomorrow...is...another...day!!

(Although I AM struck by the juxtaposition of "sujul's BFF" and "bitchy" mood....sigh...)
