to what end? as evidence of his character? i ask because i genuinely don't get what the point of that is in this thread.

Are you asking if it's evidence that he has always had this seething disdain for whitey? Or simply that he's a guy who stays stupid things he later comes to regret? Either way, one sentence, extracted from the past like that isn't really going to prove either.

edit: Actually, why am I even responding to that? Seems to me, Shawnski, if you want to generate a discussion on that phrase you could contribute to it by sharing your opinion or elaborating on the context of the article.
