NAACP E-board endorses gay marriage

[Alcon]

FWIW, the National Civil Rights Museum here in Memphis has had an area about the gays for years. Just like whites, blacks who are more educated and such (like those on the NAACP board) are more supportive of gay rights.

funniest thing I've seen on this board in a long time.

Which part?  All of that sounds accurate to me...

it all depends how you define educated.

It's "funny" because you define "educated" differently than the guy you're quoting obviously meant it (i.e, the strictly objective sense)?  That is the funniest thing you've seen in a long time?  You must be great at parties

I will bet you a free pizza (this is how I bet people online!) that the NAACP board members have more formal education than the average black person, which is obviously what most people mean when they say "educated" in this context.

The fact that you find a sentence "hilarious" when you substitute your own definition for a subjective phrase, which contradicts the original meaning, suggests that you're trying a little too hard.

I definition of education means knowledge.

"Education" differs from "knowledge" in that people almost always refer to systematized or institutionalized instruction.  You've obviously lived long enough to figure out how to use the Internet, so I assume you've noticed "education" has this connotation for people.  (You also inexplicably seem to believe the same does not apply to "knowledge.")  In other words, you find this "hilarious" because you substituted what you had to know was a different-than-intended sense of the world.  You managed to be condescending, dismissive, disingenuous and humorless in one sentence flat.

I haven't run into you before, but I hope you are not this ridiculous in other topics.
