okay... brian was adding emphasis to the "being black" quote simply to point out its stupidity, not to try to say that you (the silverballoon webmaster) were trying to emphasize that more than any other points. people do that all the time when they want to point out particular passages of a quote while leaving it in context. it's the reason highlighter pens were invented. anyway, the issue is... why would you consider "being black" a disability? that's exactly what you said... we're not changing your words around, or emphasizing anything... so... why?
