“Don’t try to put words in my mouth. You take that issue up with the young girls who said exactly that. By such a railing, you make yourself look misogynistic—and racist to boot. Nobody made any assumptions in this thread, least of all me.”

Wow, you must be looking to pick a fight. Have you started many threads? Let me fill you in on a little something: people tend to post a lot to the original poster. I do so whenever responding directly to the article. I was taking it up with the whoever I quoted. Not directly, of course, but for the edification of the FR community.

As for misogyny, no. Not even close. That’s a wild swing on you part, but it can’t compete with racist. Ha! I was specifically admonishing against racial stereotypes. Where do you fit me being racist into that? Or is it that I’m not allowed to address myself to black females ever without being misogynistic and racist. I guess so.

I really would love for youto demonstrate to me how I was being racist and misogynistic, though I doubt you could even if you tried.

It's possible to post while removing all handles from the "To" field. That way, I don't get the idea that you are addressing me by using personal pronouns.

Given the manner of your addressing, that characterization might be accurate in the first respect. The comments of the two young ladies had nothing to do with the buyers, but the sellers. Also, nowhere was all rap or hip-hop music so characterized by these young ladies; it'd certainly be folly to accuse "Rapper's Delight" or even "The Message" of "dumbing down" a whole community of people or promoting misogyny.
