Bill,
Being a member of a particular racial
makeup, does not give one the super natural abilities of detection of racial bias.
I know that might be hard to believe,
of a man of great faith like you...
However, through personal life experiences,
and other histories of controversies
raised, I know a pattern of bias that
exist even here.
Looking at the date stamped on
your membership is even questionable
to me... because unless you'd been
here to experience the server problems
which occurred, most would be natural
to assume their membership date is
correct too. However, I know better,
for I created more threads than
what the current status accounts.
Farther more, although I welcome
your statements, however, those
statements you made, has no impact
in representing a non-bias authority,
nor does it represent my sentiments
with every good intention you hoped
your injections would/could accomplish.
Frankly, I don't even understand why
you needed to bring your race, to
validate what is racially bias,
when it takes facts to prove your
statements, which I detected
(using your words) none (no facts).
Bill, I welcome your opinion, frankly
I encourage it. But, don't think one
bit, I would allow you to take a
shot at me, without me having my
rebuttal.
Furthermore, as a religious person,
my religious teachings says,
The Greatest sin, and the most
barbaric and highest sins of all
sins, are to practice racial supremacy,
and bigotry (even in the most subtle
way, it's wrong!!!).
As a African born in America, I
learned that it's not fashionable
to talk about the many achievements
we had made, even with the bias
that perpetuate the atmosphere to
prevent such benefits to the good
and to the whole of human kind,
people are fast to pull out their
rulers, and yard sticks.
Furthermore, the information I
provided was just a snippet,
of the facts on the modern (5)
and (6) string bass, and as
predicted, it was immediately a
subject of controversy. LOL!!!!
And I simply ask why do people do
this, and then they replace the
information that fits their likings
REGARDLESS OF THE FACT??? LOL!!!
So, as someone who don't mind being
wrong, I read those remarks of others
posters on this thread, and for the
most part, those who were not in
agreement with my initial thread,
simply didn't provide any fact to
remove the achievements of Tony and
Anthony.
I read, and taken every dissenting
argument raised, and gave it back
with the respect, reasoning, and
with my ideas not plagued nor dipped
in biases, nor conjectures of a
simple opinion and I didn't see
any facts strong enough to remove
the claims of these highly gifted,
and very talented human beings who
claimed of being the first of
a (5) and (6) modern string bass
that also happens to be the most
appropriate, and appreciated standard
of our modern times.
Also, I was inspired enough to
post such news, and it was never
my intentions to create any
controversy. But, there's always
someone out there who likes to
display their historical muscles,
and they always find a way to
replace the ideas with ideas their
allegiances even when they are incorrect.
Those same individuals, establishes
the same pattern, and they always try
to throw eggs, or squash the integrity of formidable, and admirable people, who are
different from themselves or cultural
orientation, and diversity.
Like the deduction comments made
...nothing new under the Sun...
Why say this now?
Clearly, Tony and Anthony's
historical claims can't be
smashed by tactics of
over-simplifications;
un-related (5) and (6) string
instruments which were never
used by professional standards;
or off the mark conjectures
which has no relevancy to benchmark
above what I had shown.
To say, there were no bias -- then
why would you even need to go beyond
to mention your own racial makeup,
contradicts why your point relevant.
Put race aside, YOU don't need to be
of any racial makeup to know what
is bias or not.
To foster of a greater assistance,
and to have your prayers reserved for me,
and not others is also pretty bias
also, and yet you'd had not proved
why you believe a bias didn't occur?
Lastly, I respect you are a religious
man who's determined to see GOD's face.
However, if you believe God looks
like very handsome white guy pictured
posted everywhere, then I would say
in truth, that's a bias too.
I hope you do pray for me, and not prey
upon my words.
Peace and Love,
Hal
