      <![CDATA[I'm not a racist but I love racist jokes.  I have friends and family members of multiple cultures and races, and it really helps to relieve all the bullshit. If you haven't heard racist jokes about white people you aren't hanging out with the right people. Stealing someone's phone is pretty horrendous though. Happy Thanksgiving!

      <![CDATA[Personally, I'm not about to work with United Way. The King County chapter has a history of caving to fundamentalist Christians, at least as far back as its decision to drop Planned Parenthood as a member agency in '88. I wouldn't even consider volunteering with such an agency unless it was the only game in town.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, United Way isn't even close to being the only game in town. A nice alternative is <a href="http://idealist.org/">idealist.org</a>, which lists hundreds of volunteer opportunities in Seattle alone.

      <![CDATA[This Asian American liberal remembers grilling John Carlson at a City Club meeting on I-200 about how he thought he could keep himself from frying in hell if he used the talents God gave him to kick our African American brothers and sisters in the teeth.  And this Asian American liberal sits on the board of a nonprofit agency that is committed to lifting up youth of color.  Others can check out the United Way web site for board and volunteer opportunities.  And <em>meh</em> @18, in the spirit of the season, rather than rebuking you, I will point you to the immortal words of <a href="http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/johnson/archives.hom/speeches.hom/650604.asp">President Lyndon Johnson</a>.  Happy Thanksgiving, <em>meh</em> and all Sloggers.

Oh that's right! It's THANKSgiving not HATEgiving... you guys should save all the drama for anotha mama on HATEgiving day. Oh wait, there's no such thing so maybe you should just love and thank and share the piece of turkey with the wish bone so you two can share it and wish for free cell phone services instead.<br />

      <![CDATA[@12 Your reading comprehension needs work as some other posters were kind enough to point out. <br />
<br />
Anon 1 wrote this:<br />
<br />
"By the way, I also enjoyed the photos of your girlfriend, her tits, your car (with its license plate clearly legible, so you might want to park that in a safe place for awhile), your skull tattoos, and your drug paraphernalia. (Smoking pot is probably your only redeemable quality.)"<br />
<br />
He obviously viewed those photos as being of the owner of the phone, who apparently did not appear to be black to Anon 1. How did Anon 1 know that some of the pictures were of the owner of the phone? They could easily have been labeled, in files. My phone does that, so do many others.<br />
<br />
Since a search of the blog doesn't turn up any other posts by a "Leroi" in the past I assume that you are just a cowardly sock puppet who is more concerned with me than I with you. Pathetic really.<br />

      <![CDATA[Really the only way to know if they talk about the same phone is if <br />
<br />
A) anon1 sent messages using anon2's phone or <br />
<br />
B) anon1 mailed the broken pieces of anon2's phone back to them.<br />
<br />
There's nothing else identifiable beyond tattoo pics (which aren't too uncommon, and as has been pointed out, might or might not be of the phone's owner) and racist text messages (which anon1 says originated with the owner, and which anon2 says originated with his contacts)

      <![CDATA[@20 So then what evidence to you have to show unequivocally that they talk about the same phone?  Seriously, I'm curious.<br />
<br />
For this to add up, you must assume that the first anon LIED about damn near every detail to support the conclusion that they came from the same phone... sounds like blind faith to me.

      <![CDATA[@17 why would the first anonymous letter admit to stealing the phone just to berate the morality of the owner of the phone? for letter-writing purposes, it wouldn't make any sense to say, "hey, i stole your phone and i'm very upset to learn that you are a racist!"<br />
<br />
secondly, it sounds like the person who found/stole the phone made an assumption based on the photos on the phone that the pictures of the tattoos were of the OWNER'S tattoos. i don't know about you, but i don't keep very many picture of myself on my own phone.<br />
<br />
lastly, i think the second letter is pointing out that despite the phone-finder's claims, there was no embarrassing text message sent out to the phone-owner's contacts. because, you know, the phone-finder is a huge pussy.

      <![CDATA[I was with him right up until the affirmative action part:<br />
<br />
I'm sympathetic with its goals, but <i>race-based affirmative action is racist</i>.  Fighting racism with racism is the wrong way to address the problem.  Affirmative action should be based on socio-economic status instead.

      <![CDATA[When I first read the I, Anonymous, I thought that the author must have had to make alot of assumptions about those texts and the pictures to come to the conclusion that he did.  I obviously don't know exactly what the contents of the phone were, but it seems like stuff like that is usually not clear cut.<br />
<br />
But, the same thing applies to ABPWNP.  The phone in I, Anonymous may or may not be his phone.
