>>I actually don't like disagreeing with you

Yes, everybody here will have noticed that ;-)

>>but it won't stop me from saying that you're really taking the concept of "devil's advocate" too far, by taking an incredibly ignorant comment and trying to give credibility to it.

/edit/

Credibility? Ignorance? All I saw was retaliation by people claiming vicarious hurt from a sentence about somebody on a podium who undeniably has a black complexion and was not recognized by the commentator. I accept that the choice of words may have carried a slap against you and yours. If so, it was a tremendous success and the result must have been delicious.

IME it's easy enough (and usually less effort) to divert an intended attack into hyperspace where it can do no harm. ;-) Or as mom used to say, "ignore it."
