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 think he's amused at the notion that a schwarze could, in fact, be educated.
why would you assume that?
but it's nice to confirm that liberals always use the racism card.
no I'm amused by the notion that liberals are better educated then conservatives and that NAACP board members are more educated then other blacks.


personally I'd assume that Memphis is racist.

He also called me anti-Semitic for being opposed to Kahanism so...
no I called you an anti semite for calling Borough Park fascist.

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 define education as knowledge.

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.

educated has a few meanings and according to this meaning

I would argue they are avg at best.

Alcon, I think Mr. Moderate's post sums NY Jew fairly well; he is ridiculously homophobic, eager to label others anti-Semitic, and not much else.
I don't have a phobia.  (I hate that term)

I know several people who dislike that usage as well, although probably for a radically different set of reasons to yours. Would you prefer anti-gay?
I like this term.
anti practitioners of homosexuality.

So, you're not opposed, necessarily, to homosexuality.. just the people practicing it?
no I'm opposed to practicing homosexuality and therefore by default the practitioners (and if they stop practicing it I would have no problem).

His only topics are 1) Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn and 1a) what they think of gays.
don't forget Queens they also voted against Weprin  because of it.

of course you missed the other statements that I said that have nothing at all to do with gays.
