Going by the way you interpret things, wouldn't the thowing around of
one's name be derogatory? Could it not be taken (by some) as an insult
to the very being?

Maybe there his views. You don't always think you have the market
cornered on intelligence do you? After all some white people never
"evolved" very well either. Is that a racist remark? Naw, you can say
anything toward a *white man* and it could not possibly be anything
but the truth. Right? How come you failed to repost the part of that
person being "proud of his race" meaning the black man. That part is
not to positive I guess for a  negative person. Notice that I used a
word that can fit most situations, without name-calling. Why do people
have to use "racist", "sexist", "chauvinist" etc to describe. I'll
tell you. *they are carrying around to much of their own baggage".
