    Apology to Swolecat and others...

    Things around here has been really ****ty lately. I lost my brother and some friends to a drunk driver, uncle's in the hospital with cancer, and another friends' tried to commit suicide. With that being said, I have been to say the least, rude. Although, I did not agree with the thread making fun of one of our members I still made some racist comments and was beligerent to other members in other threads. You guys on here have always helped me when I needed it and I really appreaciate it. I was wrong with my comments and there is no reason for the hateful and rude comments made by me. I hope all who I offended can accept my sincere apology. God bless.

    I assume I'm included in your apology since I was on the receiving end of your racial comments. Going through a rough time is not an excuse for racism. Just remember that.

    I didn't see the post but I'm pretty sure he was trying to appolagize and yes to you also I bet. If you don't except his appology it's Ok but everyone on this board has said something racist at one time I promise. So we are all unexecusable I guess.

    In my book racism is inexcusable. When I get pissed off at someone what goes through my mind is what a ****ing asshole they are. Not Black or White or Asian or whatever. I don't make assumptions or insults based on color no matter how angry I am.

    not everybody thinks like you do carlos, maybe his parents brought him up that way, and if so, it's not that easy to change a pattern of thinking that was instilled in you since you were a baby, i'm not defending racist statements in any way, but i do have the ability to forgive ignorance, and recognize it for what it is

    We can take this to PM if you like instead of posting here. But sorry, you're wrong. My parents raised me to believe that all people are equal. I don't have racist opinions. Maybe you find that hard to believe because you have some racist feelings yourself? I don't know. But I don't have those feelings in me.

    and so can carelessness and disrespectfulness for people's problems. I didn't make this post to gain your friendship or for you to even like me, or for that matter for you to even tolerate me. I made the post to apologize for my anger getting the best of me in making bad comments.

    I agree, my thread would have been inappropriate if his problems were real. I am not the only one here who does not believe a word of it. So I feel it was not disrespectful.

    It's not racist to wonder why a variety of color is not in a film. I see it everyday walking down the street, at work, at the gym, everyday of my life. I wonder why it's not represented in film. If you took my thread as racist you took it the wrong way.

    Talk to you later.

    Carlos

    do you also see magical rings???It is make belive, that is why it is not represented. It has nothing to do with real life. Let's say you dont have a racist bone in your body and have never even thought 1 racist thought, I am sure that you have thought discriminating thoughts that would be thought of as inexcusible by someone.(i.e. that fatass,the ditsy blond, the f-ing pig,) Just because you thought it or even said it in a fit of anger does not meen you really feel that way. The fact that he has appologized and humbled hisself says alot about his charactor. Lets not judge him on one post. jmho

    Carlos--

    I would not disrespect you in anyway shape or form. Even though you totally crossed the line with me, i still made no racist comments towards you. Even if you didn't believe what I said, you could have kept it to yourself instead of being an ass. In other words, don't dish **** out if you can't learn to take it. You're whining like a five year old girl. "I hit him, and he hit me back! Punish him, not me!" As far as LOTR goes, there is nothing racist about that movie whatsoever . Coming from me this may make me sound like a hypocrite, but you're older and should be more mature. Grow up you assclown..

    It's not about dishing **** and not being able to take it. If you think I'm an ass clown then as ass clown I shall be. I can't change your opinion. You can think I'm the biggest ass clown on AR but when someone starts throwing out racial insults you've crossed the line as well as board rules.

    I think you're an annoying kid begging for attention. Did your race come into my judgment? No. You could be any color and I would still think the same. I read your post saying you're no longer posting on the forum. I see you're still posting. If that isn't begging for attention I don't know what is.

    FYI... You missed the LOTRs discussion so your insult/point is off base. I never called the movie racist. Please don't misquote me just to stir up trouble.

    I remember you whining about it in the chat. You PMed me , and I even offered you help about the whole racial thing, and you treat me like shiat anyways...If it was your mother, or girlfriend with problems and I made a thread like that, you would have gone ape**** as well...I'm done, this is too much DRAMA.

    In closing...

    Carlos, you and I both made mistakes that were both immature and unacceptable. This is a place where we come to help and support each other, not to do awful things to each other. I am trying to be fair here in saying I was at fault as well. Please, for the better of everyone on here, let's just put this behind as we want to show mew members and current members this is a place to help, not to insult or harm.
