->> I do not believe I have ever referred to anyone as an oreo.

 EC> Would it be a racist remark to call a black person an "oreo
 EC> cookie?"

 I wouldn't say. I can imagine a black person would say it to
 another black person. In fact, I have known it to happen. It
 implies a sellout.

 However, I would not use the term.

 EC>> your interpretation that the term "poverty pimp" had
 EC>> to refer to a specific racial group,

->> Where has it ever been used to refer to anyone other than a black
->> liberal or a democrat who is working for racial justice?

 EC> An irrelevant question, but the part after the "or"
 EC> undercuts the notion that it is racially exclusive.

 Uh... what is your point? That makes your original statment a
 non-sequitor.

 For that matter, I never once even suggested the term "poverty
 pimp" had to apply only to blacks. However, when it is applied
 to Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton it's not an unreasonable
 interpretation for that particular person's usage.

 And remember, that was not a statement on my part, but an
 interpretation of another's statement, which appeared to
 interpret it the way he meant it, as no one has ever corrected
 it.

 EC>> and your racial stereotypes for the occupations of cook and

->> Black people have long been stereotyped as cooks, in movies and TV.

 EC> And by you.  You asked.  All three answers stand.

 Nope. I never said those things. So they were racist statements,
 but on the part of someone else, never me. Show where I made a
 racist statment. Not where you did, or someone else did, and I
 interpreted it correctly.

 Oh, and you completely deleted the part where I pointed out that
 no one used the term "launder" or anything close to it.

 Of course, deleting material when you are caught red handed is
 your usual modus operandi. You seem to think you can pretend it
 didn't happen.

 Instead you are caught. You lie again.
