Speaking as one of the "1000's" of readers of this thread that hasn't been bothered to post in the thread, I am not convinced that he's a racist. I am convinced he's a troll that wants to come across as a racist. Whether he's stupid enough to be as racist as he comes across or even more idiotic because he's not a racist but gets his jollies by playing a racist on the intertubes; he is a Conner-level Zen idiot master.
Does that count as "coming to his defense?"
They aren't the only ones attacking you because they're the only ones that take issue with you. Tom, JA, and a couple of others are the only ones here that are calling you on your BS because they are the only ones here that have the patience to play the "Whack-a-Troll" Game for this long.
But if it makes you feel any better, HA probably has 3.5 other friends that don't think you're a racist.
Well, as mentioned above, he may only be a troll that likes to play a racist. Either way, the whining about coming across as a racist is getting old. And either way, he/she is definitely an idiot.
