Has anyone seen his message on the Top Five Lists thread on ILE?

(http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0077y9)

We had a little chat about this on instant messager...

Ray : I guess it's intended to be quasi-ironic humor or something.

cac: Well apparently "Watermelon Agua Fresca" is actually a real drink.

Ray : If they're real drinks that makes it somewhat more clever, but regardless it's got to have a dual meaning. You can't put "negro" and "watermelon" that close to each other referring to a black poster and not intend it in a racial sense.

Cecil: Yeah, the chances of him just randomly mentioning those two foods to Nitsuh coincidentally are astronomical

Cecil: I mean, it's always been so obvious Ned is a racist to begin with, like that thing he said about Dan's wife too.

Ray: I think the idea is he's supposed to be in an "It's okay, because I'm clearly joking" mode, but I'd be interested to know how Nitsuh takes it

cac: He seems a lot more asserted in his blackness than Ned, don't you think?

cac: i.e. "not a big fat oreo Uncle Tom"

Ray: You meant to say Dan which makes it even more ironic.

cac: Haha, you're right.

Probably too busy masturbating over badly photocopied pictures of Thora Birch to actually, y'know, cultivate a life.

Hm, I gather somebody has problems. The name of the beer is either Negro or Negra Modelo, I forget which. It happens to be a Mexican beer which the venue serves, it's most tasty. And watermelon agua fresca is another tasty thing served at Taco Mesa. Nitsuh expressed his revulsion regarding horchata, so I offered up my other two fave drinks at Taco Mesa, nothing more. *shrug* Sorry if it bugs ya. The idea that I'm racist is so perfectly laughable I can't be bothered to deal with it.

But the sad thing is that "cac" is too wussy to actually make any comment about it on ile, and instead runs over hear to bitch and whine about it. I'm guessing because he's got smacked down over there big time before and his ego is to fragile to handle any more.

Ned like being in races? I had no idea he was athletic

The irony of someone accusing Ned of racism going on to call me a "big fat oreo Uncle Tom" is astounding.

I am not really a homosexual. Ally is not really a woman . And you are not a crackpot. If you have a problem w. Ned or Dan talk to them . Do not start another forum you motherfucking backstabbing asshole .

Ned Raggett is a racist, a closest racist at that. The only thing that I am sure of is that he smells really bad sorta like ass. And that hair has to go. Ned never mentions black music. Only eighties white music. Surely higher education is wasted on some people.

*scratches head* Considering at the beginning of September it was Ally and I evangelizing just about everybody regarding the new Jay-Z album, to name one example, saying I never talk about 'black music,' however defined, is a bit strange.
