Something happened to the majority of my generation just like it will happen to yours. It might even happen to you. Check these words twenty years from now if this forum still exists. People become more conservative as they get older. It's a fatal flaw in humankind I'm sorry to say.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. I love your idealism, Yorke, I really do. But condemning everyone for being older than you isn't going to solve the world's problems. Voting and making your voice heard will. See ya  |

^ If this is your smoking gun, YorkeDaddy, then on the evidence presented so far I agree with the appraisal of MicShazam and Neapolitan. It's not fair to lay the blame for segregated water fountains at rubbersoul's door, but you seem to be painting him as an outright racist regardless. To your credit, you are fair and factual enough to have included in your quote the bit that I have bolded, which rather undercuts your complaint, imo, because it is both uncontroversial and amicable.
To try and get a bit of context, I read on through that hip-hop thread expecting to find some "snide, passive aggressive comments", but instead I found this from RS:-

Anyhow, this is supposed to be a thread about hip-hop so I'll take my leave. Keep fighting the good fight. |
^ Another inoffensive post as far as I can see, which leaves me wondering why you have any issue with RS at all.
