Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak explains why he became a philanthropist, talks about Apple, his plane crash and subsequent memory loss, and more on PBS’s Tavis Smiley program:
“So thirty years ago, Steve Wozniak came up with an idea that must have seemed like a hair-brained idea at the time. Take a regular typewriter keyboard and combine it with computer circuitry and a video monitor. Of course, that silly idea turned into the personal computer, perhaps the single most important invention of the entire twentieth century.” – Tavis Smiley

Dave –
Your racism doesn’t combat anything thelonuis said, it’s just racist all on it’s own. “You bet your sweet, scrawny, pimply white ass it’s all about race. Then, shut the f*&k up, you piece of crap” Are you arguing that your words are not racist in return? Are you arguing that racism directed at white people is not racism?
More racism doesn’t solve anything. I don’t see Thelonuis’ remarks as inherently racist, but I would agree with “no plight here” that his/her remarks were certainly race baiting.
Look at it this way. If your statement would have been “You bet your sweet, scrawny, pimply BLACK ass it’s all about race” it would have been seen as racist.
As far as I can tell, no one said or implied on this thread that their isn’t a “deep undercurrent of racism in this country”. Your arguments that people are thinking that, and bringing up the pain and anguish of the debacle in New Orleans as proof of a larger problem that isn’t being discussed on this board only proves that your response is based on an agenda other than what is going on in front of you, or you are trying to diffuse the issue of your own racism.
Just because you hijack a thread and accuse people of having their heads in the sand doesn’t mean it is so, but it is evidence that you might have anger issues and other problems taking ownership of your own areas of growth.
Your original response was over the top. Your second response was weak and self serving. Frankly, you are the kind of person who thinks he’s doing good when actually you are hurting the cause of racial healing and understanding. We call people who act like you “well intentioned dragons.”
Until you learn to respond to hate without hate, please don’t respond. You’re not helping.
I didn’t realize this was Tavis daily news.
Perhaps we could talk about something related to Apple.
