Poker schmoker!

Poker's completely sucked lately. I don't know if I've completely forgotten how to play or I'm just in a really REALLY bad slump. I can't get nut flushes, top boats or even once a straight flush to hold up. Bah. Poker talk is pointless right now. Although I did start reading Sklansky's "The Theory of Poker" last night and look forward to a lot of reading in the near future.

Here's something interesting.

Now, here's what concerns me about this site, and truthfully, it's concerned me a lot lately because I'm faced with a similar situation in my life. Read:

"I don't get it. You guys can't be white, can you? I don't know if this is some racist shit or what. It'd kinda funny but from who's perspective. I'm not bigging up any racist shit so fuck you guys if your racist, and keep up the good work if your black (it's still confusing)."

So what this person is saying in their response letter to the site, essentially, is; If it was written by a black person, praise. If it was written by a white person, fuck you!

Isn't the entire point of the site to point out racism in BOTH directions? Why is it the world doesn't have ONE set of goddamn standards? Why couldn't a white person address rascism against someone not of their skin color? In order for it to be valid it has to be initiated by that race???? Now I'm confused. I thought I got it. I thought when I checked out this site it all made sense; a purely satirical middle finger to ALL people white or black who treat each other differently. But then reading the letters, how can people view this site and think it's in any way negative?

Food for thought...
