And neither has your side's belief.

Right! Use our tax dollars which are infinite!

Duh! Don't go to class?

Good grief! This ill-logic is mind-boggling!

No, no! If they get over it, there will be less for those of us who love all sorts of food!

Good take on the situation!

My local, near Detroit, Mexican restaurant has he stamp of approval of two Mexican national colleagues. And, yes, I have been to Mexico, where the food was super fine.

I am a college faculty member in Detroit. The vast majority of my students are Black. I am accepted well enough that I am allowed to listen in on some rather uninhibited discussions of what is wrong with Detroit and its citizens. I just zip my lips to indicate that I will not be a contributor to the discussion and gesture that they may proceed. They can be exceedingly critical of Blacks in general and those for whom they use the "n-word" in particular. They just don't want to hear it out of a white mouth. And, quite frankly, I don't know any non-Blacks who are as critical of them as they are of themselves.

Enlighten us, please.

I don't know about him or about you, but the vast majority of the people that I know are complex beings. No one of their characteristics "define" them.

I have no problem with that. The question remains, when and with whom does one have that discussion? If I am to grade a students paper, I would rather not be put in the position of grading religious beliefs. Further, while I say I am not religious, neither do I appreciate others thinking that there labels apply to me, and I do not shove my non-simplistic belief system down the throats of others.
