My POV on this thread. Evince posted it, I think, in response to some thread that Volsrock -- a beloved-by-the-RW-and-oft-thanked-by-the-racist-posters guy -- thread this morning regarding an Alabama school district who banded together to buy a [black guy] school janitor a new car. This was, of course, evidence that southerners aren't racist.
That being said, sometimes Evince's passion for justice and righteousness is her undoing. How I would have started the thread: Same title. Posted a snippet from the MSN story, plus the link to it. Wait a while... half an hour or something. Then posted something like "Anyone want to see this story? It's pretty epic! A dog attacked a child and a teen stepped in to save the day!"
Evince, I love your spirit and passion.... but we don't need to scream RACISM to win the day. I will slightly side with Toxic Top on this one, but only because you did accuse non-responders-to-your-thread of being racist. Other than that, Toxic is as racist as they come so it's best to ignore the bint.
