"Edited to add. Just so we're clear on my use of the term "basque" vs. bask I'll attempt to shed more light, AGAIN. As I've indicated previously, it was a play on words. One that is common in the context in which I employed it.
Basque nationalism is proudly racist, defining "a pure Basque" as free of any "taint" of Spanish, Jewish or Arab blood. Sabino de Arana y Giori, founder of the Basque National Party, even developed a new Basque language purged of all Spanish words.
History of Anti-Racism
"While racism has ancient and complex historical roots, there is also evidence that anti-racism is not solely a product of "modern enlightenment." Human history does not show every human group holding itself aloof from every other group in all ways and at all times. It is, in fact, the ever-shifting pattern of alliances, invasions, migrations, intermarriages and cross-cultural fusions that makes the whole concept of scientifically categorized "races" scientifically suspect and, increasingly, outright rejected. One of the historical high points of racial tolerance was Moorish Spain, when Jews, Arabs and Spaniards together forged a remarkable culture. This history is cited by Basque nationalists to justify their own racism, claiming that Spanish blood is "contaminated" with Jewish and Arab ancestry, and only the Basque region stayed "pure."
Granted, my choice of words might be considered obscure if one doesn't understand the historical context. However, the continued ignorance on display, using a play on the suffix "asque" should perhaps, be put to rest.
SORRY FOR THE DUPLICATE. I SEE THAT INSTEAD OF ALLOWING AN EDIT, THE FORUM SOFTWARE POSTED A NEW RESPONSE. "
You are a FUCKING IDIOT. That makes absolutely NO FUCKING SENSE. You made a mistake. You are so pretentious and ignorant you refuse to admit it. Instead you look up stupid shit that has absolutely no correlation to your usage. You used the wrong word in any fucking context. You aren't clever or witty, you are just an asshole for even trying that shit. The rest of the country is more educated than your shit hole community so you have no idea how stupid you really are and what an ass you are making of yourself.
You may be the only one in your family to have attended community college or a state university (whichever one pays the most for minority students), but the rest of us don't come from stupid so we aren't even close to buying your idiocy.
Douche bag. That's French, but they probably know what that is in the Pyrenees.
"when you basque in your hate filled ignorance."
We weren't discussing wine or travel you simple-minded fool. Stick to FaceBook and solving online crime from your crib. You can be a genius there.
netsleuth is an idiot.
netsleuth is anti-Semitic.
To be clear . . . this is not supposition.
If you really knew what you were talking about, “basque” is an extremely inappropriate term to decry racism.
You obviously know nothing about Franco. Franco devoted his life to “purify” Spain of the Basques. Like Hitler with the Jews. Come to think of it, Franco and Hitler were allies.
Nor do you understand the term “racist”, as stated in your edited “cut and paste” web search. Clearly, you lack basic comprehension skills.
So, simply put: By YOU using the word “basque”, a race of people who were the target of cultural and political genocide, you admire and condone the tactics and methods used by the dictators, Franco and Hitler.
Great word play, Hitler sympathizer! But then, you probably think Israeli and Jew are synonymous, too.
To be clear, Tard – Bask and Basque is an example of a homophone. You know what a “Homophone” is, don’t you?
That’s right! What YOU use to “ring-up” your same-sex escort!
And using “Cheerio” and citing the Telegraph? Did you really think this is impressive?
Hell . . . you probably live on fast-food chicken until the money in cheque register runs out.
Here’s a suggestion, Tard . . . next time you want to impress the masses with your conceit and disdain, be consistent.
If you want to play British, try “Sirah” for Sarah. At least it gives the illusion that you understand Shakespeare and thus, lends credence to your purported literacy.
Not that the greasy stains on your clothing don’t scream West Ender.
I’m sure you might fool someone that they are from Leicester square fish and chips and not really from Popeye’s.
Oh . . . to be clear, it’s not in Germany and it’ pronounced “Lester”.
Didn’t want you getting all melancholy about the “Fatherland”!
