- Dear Terry,
- You are much too high- strung for any conversation. First, I stand
- by my statement that it is not difficult to imagine whites or any other race
- acting in the manner that Dowdy states. I believe that many of the
- misunderstandings that happen between the many races of America is due to
- preconceptions that individuals hold of other races. I believe that
- Dowdy specifically brought up whites in response to another poster.
- Essentially the other poster says something to the effect , "I am
- white and I don't act in that manner." Dowdy reponds with the above quote
- "(paraphrase) Well i know alot of whites that act in that manner."
- You seem to constantly antagonize others with having an intellectual
- exchange of information.
