So wait...did you read Mavdog's post?
Because this:

...is referring to YOU, Silk. Are you willing to accept Murphy's statement that he was kidding, and that he in fact does belive that race has nothing to do with the ability to read?
Because you don't appear to be willing to accept his explanation. If that's the case him labeling his post with smileys or a sarcasm label would have made no difference to you and your ability to drop the race card at a moment's notice.
BTW, there are well established, well respected members of this board that are not white, and no one, before you, has ever laid down a blanket accusation of this board and its moderators as being racist. So maybe you need to look in the mirror on this one.
