the ......We must take the letter K out of the alphabet just in case.
All words that start with the letters N I G, too. Have to find some other word
for black. Hey, Pete, high time you wrote a new dictionary for mankind. One that
won't offend everyone. Our ancestors stuffed the last one up !Pete even
accused me of "institutionalized racism". What does he mean ? Did I catch racism
while doing time in an institution, like a psychiatric hospital or a jail. Can
you catch racism like a virus ? Does Pete think I'm a whacko and a criminal, as
well as an institutionalized racist ? The mind boggles so much I can't sleep.
Before Pete life was so uncomplicated. |

even here in America people are surprised when I say Jerry Quarry beat a lot of
good fighters such as Lyle, Shavers, and Patterson.Part of the reason is
the media only shows his losses not his wins.But since we are still
talking about him shows that Jerry is not forgotten that a lot of people still
do know what a good fighter he was. Jerry Quarry was a champion, if not with a
title, a champion for the efforts he put out and he always will
be.Regarding Foreman verses Quarry, one of things Jerry would have in
his favor is the fact that Foreman would wind up his punches and telegraph when
he was punching. Jerry, being a great counter puncher, would make Foreman pay by
anticipating Foreman's punches and beating Foreman to the punch. Counter
punching is not always punching someone back after being hit. It can be but it
is often seeing a punch coming and landing first. Also, as I stated
before, Jerry took a great punch which would give him a good chance of
weathering the early storm and coming on strong in the later part of the fight.|

results of my informal poll are in. Only 2 people on this site would and will
use the term, RELENTLESS NIGGLING when referring to me a Black Man. Knowing full
well that the term offends me, and I find it racist when used by white
people.Of the 2 people I find racist, one is from Europe, Noam. The
other is an old man who lives in the deep south, Louisville Kentucky, Howard
C.Regarding the term "institutional racism." Howard C does not
understand the meaning of the phrase. Well, I will be brief, but let me explain
it to him. It is when white people do or say offensive things to blacks
and insist they did nothing wrong.A mild example is assuming every black
person supports "affirmative Action." A severe example is assuming every black
thinks the US Goverment is against him, and out to put innocent blacks in jail.
In both cases neither are assumptions are true. But a lot of whites think all
blacks feel that way. And it simply is not true.Howard C, does that help
