As I've said to Kevin before, Kevin's posting style hasn't change a whit since he switched teams. He's as much an asshole online as he used to be.


Well, at least we can agree on that much, but forgive me if I don't use your terminology.

They would never let me live it down, and it would end up in someone's sig line.

I don't know if Nancy Sinatra was weird or not, but she wasn't weird looking.

This is the very same logic that creates "white Hispanics" for self justification purposes.


You just jumped the track. Hispanic is not a race; Hispanic is an ethnicity. White is a race. So yes... white Hispanic is a person of the white race with Hispanic ethnicity.

And if that's an example of your logic, you lose again.

Good grief. TAKE A CLASS, Droopy!

You don't have to mention who it is. I already know.

In all my years of experience I have never heard of anyone being excommunicated from Christian churches....but plenty from the Mormon Church. Of course God never excommunicates anyone from his church, the body of believers...he is far too gracious for that.

The bottom line is, Zimmerman is not racially white per se at all, but an American (nationality, not ethnicity) of Peruvian descent (ethnicity). His father was white, and that is more than enough to light the racial brush fire and tend to the standard leftist narrative (as well as trying, convicting, and executing him in public and on the Internet with nary a scrap of evidence or fact).


"No Limit Nigga", on the other hand, was apparently not a white black.

Droopy wrote:No one is ever going to be excommunicated unless they commit a clearly excommunicable offense, and even then, the Spirit decides on a case by case basis, what conditions will be. In my own experience with Church disciplinary counsels, the bias is against excommunication except as a last resort.


I want to hear more about this. Church disciplinary counsels are not open to just anyone. My understanding is they are only open to members of the High Council, bishoprics, and stake presidency. So Droopy... what priesthood office did you hold in the experience to which you refer?

I have not called for the excommunication of anyone, so I'm confused by the constant haranguing by critics here about it.


There we have it, folks! Proof positive that Droopy is not Packer.

Droopy wrote:No, it was the mainstream leftist media who jumped that track. This was the designation given George Zimmerman for several days during the initial racial mob frenzy the media tried to create around the Trayvon Martin killing. I'm just pointing out that the term "white Hispanic," like church members who think apostasy is justified by legitimate criticisms, is a linguistic sign of desperation. "White Hispanic" is a contradiction in terms.


Good grief. You realize it's on the Census, right? You realize it's taught in every sociology class on the planet, right? You realize the government uses it to classify people, right? You realize your ignorance is showing again... RIGHT?

So yes... white Hispanic is a person of the white race with Hispanic ethnicity.


I've never yet met a Caucasian with Mexican, Ecuadorian, or Panamanian ethnicity, or a member of the "white race" who is also not a member of the "white race." (try telling someone from La Raza that they're all a bunch of crackers).

Push the reset button, Harmony.


Take a class, Droopy. Your ignorance is branding you as poor white trash (another catagory altogether).
