When someone asks something like "why don't all **** go back to Africa?

Do you think they are trying to be inflamatory, or do you think they are just that thick? How do you suppose they type with their heads jammed so thourougly up their butt? I guess you could type, but it would be really hard to see.

Update:

Just to let everybody know, I didn't respond to the question. I started to, then I wondered if they were just being inflamatory and thought I'd pose the question here and see what others think.

    I have a pretty bad knee jerk reaction to those sorts of things and it's hard for me to keep from answering their questions. I think the best thing to do is just not answer them at all. These guys (or gals) really do get a kick out of that kind of stuff and are amused at all the stupid white people (or what ever kind of people) that don't think their bigoted opinion is the truth. It seems to just reinforce their beliefs. know what I'm gonna try and ignore them, but I know I won't always be able to help myself.

    That said, I know I've probably said some pretty sarcastic or inflammatory remarks in some of my answers but to attack a person for their beliefs is not the same as attacking someone for something that they can't change (like skin color or a physical or mental disability) PEOPLE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THEIR BELIEFS. Let's just hope more of the bigots and racists of the world change theirs.

    Out of your choices, it's inflammatory. They're just trying to get people like you who do not realize the Internet is NOT serious business riled up.

    i don't know why people say those type of things, especially since they did bring us over here. People are just idiots and don't have anything better to do with their lives than to talk bad about someone else.

    Well, its not entirely their fault. Its the enviroment they are raised in, and I should know.. I live in a small town in North Carolina, and I have experience with other's racial views. When you are brought up and all you know is to dislike other races (black, mexican, asian, white, purple) then you'll do that in adulthood.

    Because they actually believe their own racists views.

    Since humans orginated in Africa, we are all of African ancestry. It's fun to point out stuff like this to racists and ask them when their flight leaves.

    Either way, the witty response you (or I) would like to zing them with would probably just be lost on them.

    Better to ignore them, unfortunately.

    I wish I had something clever to say about it, but "poutine" has nailed it. It is a manifestation of their pathetic condition.

    I think it is both, extreme ignorance and the desire to be inflammatory. Really skewed priorities, and really wrong.
