 DD>Ain't it obvious to you, Earl?!?!? It sure is to me. Ross was referring to

people" but a

 TR> So......you support Sauer's racism? Why am I not surprised?

And you miss the point that I was making to Earl that Sauer *DID* refer to a
specific group of people. A point on which he (and you) seem to be clueless. I
wonder why I am not surprised by that???

 DD>Not red, pink, yellow, copper-toned, black, chocolate, or even green but,
 DD>"other brown people".

 TR> Ah yes.....all this `toleration' you leftists are constantly spouting

Has nothing to do with "toleration". Has everything to with being
able to read,
parse a sentence, and comprehend what one has read. Not surprising that you and
Earl have trouble with that.

 DD>That should be clear enough for even the most dull intellect.

 TR> Oh it is..........your racism is clear as a bell! So is Sauer's! You

I dunno how a simple grammar lesson (that wasn't even directed at you -
although you can use a few lessons in that subject) got off onto racism.

 TR> You're laughable! All three of you!

Glad to provide a chuckle for someone with as dismal an outlook as most school
yard bullies seem to have.

... Why are a "wise man" and a "wise guy" opposites?
