Now, see? I disagree with just about all of you (strat, as always, you make me laugh!). I was quite sincere in my post and really DO want to know more about his views. I specifically asked about his favorite artists - as in painters - not music. It is not often that one comes across such a fellow who openly admits to having been called a racist and, as such, declared that to be the reason behind his online name. Sure, sounds like it is motivated by hate. The again, it would be no stretch of the imagination that this person has done time in prison. It would explain, in part, an open declaration to only trust all things caucasian.
I see it like I do talk radio. I listen to Hannity, Rush, Savage and their ilk whenever I am able. Drives most people in the car with me on long trips crazy, in fact. While I personally think Rush is a blowhard idiot / hippocrate (yeah, I remember Mr. Oxycontin his railing against all drug users and how they should all be put in jail...until HE gets caught...oops!) I like to hear the views of someone who is so out of touch with my realm of existence (or reality, IMO). I'll watch the 700 club and would love to have open conversations with Mormons and Scientologists. I even remember watching the now infamous "Geraldo Rivera nose-breaking" show live (help me out and say you remember this, old-farts!). Such views are SO far out of my own personal belief- system that I am curious.
So, that having been said, I defend and re-iterate my original and sincere request for "Racist" to say what artists (as in PAINTERS) (s)he appreciates. Early-Byzantine? Baroque or Andy Warhol? I am genuienly curious to know as one so rarely has any open dialog with such a person in this day and age. By that, I mean CENTURY.
