He linked you to a Stormfront page as a joke. He put a ****ing little winking smiley behind it, for God's sake. If you are getting all worked up over a (hilarious) joke, that suggests you have deeper issues. Let's face it. You are trying to justify superficial profiling. It is YOU who brought this upon yourself by stating that "so they have every right to make unjust accusations, however unfair they are.". That comment is SCREAMING for cries of racism. Axis was fortunately joking about it. Some others would not be. By saying that, you were are unintentionally justifying all the profiling done toward black men by police in some areas of the country, justifying the internment of Japanese-Americans in US prison camps during WWII, justifying the attacks on Arab-Americans in the aftermath of September 11, and multiple other forms of profiling. You don't agree with that (at least, I hope you don't), but making the comments you did, you have to expect some backlash. As Lucas said, if you want to avoid this in the future, choose your words more carefully.

thyham, please PM me with any questions or comments so you won't have to worry about what other people are saying. I'm still not totally clear on what the problem is here.
