Exactly where are the underlying racial tones? I really don't see it at all. If there are any, it's because you put them there. Am I going to attempt to analyze or defend others statements, (racially motivated or not)? No. My point (interpreted from Chris Rock's Never Scared) was that people who come into money (ie. the rich) squander it away and don't properly invest for or prepare for the future. When I look at that picture, drinking cristal out of the bottle, or every single person having a diamond studded watch, I get the impression this is occuring. I find this to be particularly amusing, as would I if someone continually multi tabled the 6's, cashing out profits and never moving up in buy ins. I looked for a transcript of "Never Scared", but didn't find one (to see if it was blatantly racist, or if you could reasonably take my original comment as such). Since I don't personally know them, I could very well be wrong. You obviously missed the point of his bit, as the point of most of my posts this evening.
