****ing stereotypes. My skin is more blotchy and blemished.
I remember watching Rocky 2 and being super jealous of how smooth and rich Apollo Creed's skin was.
So let me get this straight "no homo" is offensive

First paragraph is more of the same from you. It ocntributes to the problem therefore it is part of the horse. It is a cause and if you choose to deny that then that is fine. But I deny your title of victim blamer. It is rubish.
Now for the second paragraph that I feel has some merit. As far as the "by no means solves the problem" I meant it does not solve it by itself. There is no silver bullet for the divides in America. If they choose to identify themselves that way that is fine. They have every right. But it reinforces the distinction between us.
Me personally, I think there is not true difference between me and anyone else. Skin tone, sex, religious affiliation, political party or any other method of distinction is irrelevant. I am not better and no worse than any other average American. Suddenly I have someone telling me I have to refer to them by a seperate title due to their skin tone? Rubish. All that will do is create hard feelings where they did not exist before. For example look at the Repub. v. Dem hate simply becasue they are Repub. or Dems.. Idiotic.
Exactly. But society at large does not want to dump the name. They want us all to embrace it. They do this by the abomination call Political Correctness. If we can continue to be divided then the problems as a result of that divide will always exist. Is that the sole reason for the divide? Of course not but it adds to the problem.
I see what you did there. A clever counter-punch to my use of "carte blanche".
Not to archie this thread, but does anyone else think perhaps One Brow has a new keyboard? Try as I might, I'm not able to find any typos in his last few posts.
Congrats, OB!
Please let me know if I've made an erroneous assumption, OK?
Anyhow, what I find offensive about the phrase "no homo" is that by using it, the speaker is making an assumption about what he thinks I am thinking, and making an assumption that I even care about his sexual orientation. It's rather insulting to the audience's intelligence when a speaker feels he must add that disclaimer to a statement.
Let's just get this straight - who cares?
oh heck, I'm not even sure what I just said.
No bozo.

I don't think that people are getting the context of "no homo". It is used to call attention to one's own metro-sexuality, no?
Seems to me, that it is commonly used as a means of breaking down the walls between the hetero and non-hetero communities, which is the opposite of the way people are taking it here, is it not? or not, I don't know, I'm just looking at a few things I see on the internet, I don't talk to people who actually use the phrase, but this is my impression. We really don't have any yutes here to educate us on current slang?

Its like saying "thats what she said" only "thats what she said" is Never ever ever ever funny. Ever. "No Homo" is almost always hilarious.

The only problem it contributes to is the problem people have with seeing the results of their actions.
You had a black person complain when you called them an American? In what context, outside of this type of discussion?
I wish I were that clever.
I switched from IE to Google Chrome. It's been underlining many of my mistakes, making them easier to see when I proof. There are still a few mistakes in there that I notice a couple of days later.
Bravo!
No, it's used to takes phrases like "I love that guy" and emphasize that you do mean this in any sort of sexual way, in the context that having those sorts of sexual feeling would be wrong.
