Shortly after Kennedy’s nationwide television address Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had ordered Soviet ships outside the quarantine line to turn around. “We’re eyeball to eyeball,” Secretary of State Dean Rusk whispered to National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy, “and I think the other fellow just blinked.”
Well, Andrew, we're "eyeball to eyeball" and, just like Cuba, YOU blinked and backed down.
Andrew, so you feel berated, really? How do you think "people of color" feel when you post lies and overtly misleading information, well? You berate "people of color" when you ignore or re-imagine the actual life experience endured by "people of color" and women, and the disabled, etc. FACT: My great-grandfather grew-up as a slave on the former R.J. Reynolds tobacco plantation (that's where I got my last name, duh); and "White history" frequently "re-interprets" history to its advantage. Case in point, have you missed how Florida has "re-defined" slavery as a "benefit" to Black people. Did you miss that, Andrew? Have you experience life on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (incarceration camp)? How come the U.S. literally re-built Japan, but continues to incarcerate Native Americans in 3rd-world-or-worse like conditions? How come, Andrew?
Foul language? Grow a pair, Andrew. It's okay for "White men" (Bill Maher, George Carlin, Robin Williams, etc.) to use graphic language, but I can't (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-umc.htm)? OH, THE HYPOCRISY! I've made absolutely no "personal" attacks. To be accurate, I've used explicit and graphic language that accurately assesses your skewed "opinions" as ridiculous and stupid, which accurately reflects the frequently inaccurate, uncaring, aloof, and condescending tone of your narratives. Plus, Andrew, as detailed in my editorials, I don't treat White people any different than Black people (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-blackpeople4.htm), or women (http://www.tripoetry.com/Writing/Marriage/Relationships.htm), or Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-ukraine.htm), or LGBT+ (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-evils.htm), etc. Notably, given that I only convey facts, you've NEVER, again, NEVER identified any errors, inaccuracies, falsehoods in my data - data primarily produced by White people!!! As posted with my editorials (over the past 30 years), if my facts are incorrect I'll promptly acknowledge such and post a correction. I've never had to correct any of my editorials due to incorrect data, facts, etc.
Facts will only take you so far, really? Denying the truth, denying facts will only take you so far too, Andrew! The "truthfulness" of apartheid South Africa lead to its fall, because the indigenous African people had enough of White truths. Likewise, if Great Britain had refused to leave Hong Kong, the mainland Chinese government would have responded with their "truth" to White colonialism. Wake up, Andrew!
YOUR COMMENT: I have read Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X, and your page about “systemic racism” and other issues.
RESPONSE: That's awfully "White" of you, Andrew. Conversely, throughout my entire life I've actually "experienced" the discrimination, racism, and oppression that Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X and millions of "people of color" endured, face, and write about. Your pseudo-empathy only goes so far. Get it???
What's this, Andrew, now your a "subject matter expert" on the psychology of Black millionaires, really?
Oh my, the shit you're shoveling, the re-imaging of the Black experience, you failure to accurately address facts, it only represents the stupidity of your "dogma."
Put up or shut up: Join me for a one-on-one "facts only" debate to be recorded "live" before an public audience (date, time, location to be determined), and the "unedited" video will subsequently be posted on YouTube.com.
How can I take your proposal as sincere when you have persistently berated me in your posts to my pages and used foul language in the process? I have read Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X, and your page about “systemic racism” and other issues. Facts will only take you so far. People will interpret facts and seek more information.
Andrew, hopefully, you remember the Cuban missile crisis (https://www.cfr.org/blog/twe-remembers-eyeball-eyeball-and-other-fellow-just-blinked-cuban-missile-crisis-day-nine). Consider this:
Shortly after Kennedy’s nationwide television address Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had ordered Soviet ships outside the quarantine line to turn around. “We’re eyeball to eyeball,” Secretary of State Dean Rusk whispered to National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy, “and I think the other fellow just blinked.”
Well, Andrew, we're "eyeball to eyeball" and, just like Cuba, YOU blinked and backed down.
'Nuff said.

Scared to debate? Like the overwhelming majority of "people like you (http://tripoetry.com/White.htm)," when challenged to put up or shut up, well, you back down, make excuses. Scared. Scared because you realize your "position" is weak, you have absolutely no standing, no proof to actually validate your skewed vision of "facts (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/REYNOLDSRAP/RACISM/SYSTEMIC-RACISM-101LG.jpg)."
Perhaps, it best you avoid debating me, Andrew, because I'm not a person to be trifled with. I don't have an agenda like one of those right-leaning (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-blame.htm) or left-leaning pundits (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-blackconservatives.htm). I represent a linear, empirical, unadulterated presentation of facts (http://tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-trump2024.htm). No emotion. No conspiracy. No White-washing.
Clearly, you're not "sincere" or confident in your facts, beliefs, principles, etc. Tis. Tis. Tis.
'Nuff said.

Trip,
How can I take your proposal as sincere when you have persistently berated me in your posts to my pages and used foul language in the process? I have read Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X, and your page about “systemic racism” and other issues. Facts will only take you so far. People will interpret facts and seek more information.
