And it doesn't define what tastes said person may have in any form of entertainment. Therefore, applying the term to someone based on their tastes or interests is, in fact, erroneous, no matter what your "estimation" may be. If you want to cite textbook definitions in an argument, let's stick to textbook definitions throughout.

Again, the dictionary definition you yourself cited is about physical characteristics, not what you ascribe to them based on the music they may listen to.

Hmmm, sounds like someone has come up with their own label to label those who dare to label him. Must be what Elton John was singing about in "The Circle of Life." But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

Kind of like the way you make fun of the screen names of those who disagree with you, and call someone loony. But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

Let's see...someone can't say you sound like something (in this case a racist or bigot) without evidence. Fair enough. So where's your proof that any other poster doesn't function mentally above that of a child? The fact that they disagree with you? Assailing someone's intelligence is hardly the mark of someone who can win a debate on merit alone. But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point.

Oh wow, BOOKS. That clearly makes one qualified to know the situation first hand. Yet again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

He'd likely be more embarrassed if he forgot that second "r" twice in once sentence. But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

Maybe you just forgot to quote the part of the dictionary definition that talks about how people who share a certain physical characteristic must also share lower intelligence and tastes in entertainment. Must have been an oversight. After all, we are talking only about what Webster's says, aren't we? Or are only you qualified to determine what those additinoal characteristics all by virtue of reading books on the black man's struggle? But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

Good to know you're not one who generalizes, the way you so graciously take others to task for doing and say you never do. But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

Just like at the klan meeting. Ooops, sorry, that was a generalization like you just made. But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?

Must be a sign of mental inspiration to call someone a name and chastise them for name calling all in the same sentence. But again, by your own argument in subsequent posts, not relevant to the point. You're talking about rap music only, remember?
