Mr. R, It appears what we have here is ones interpretations of ones comprehension of what has been the opinion of another. With that being said, You have interpreted what was written by Mr. Gay Boy as one would expect in the manner of which you comprehend his meaning of his statement. Now you might know this Mr. Gay Boy and might have read his postings in the past and could very well have a different understanding from what another such as myself might have since I do not know him, and that I have only read a few of his postings.
There is however one very clear distinction between my postings and his on this thread. I have not retorted to a level of name calling or accusations that I am the authority speaking on behalf of all people of color and neither am I considered a "Sock Puppet".
I understand how one might pass those statements coming from one of tenure on this site (Mr. Gay Boy) and how the New person here (Myself) might not be given the extension of latitude to allow for a direct opinion on ones behalf. However let me restate and place further clarity on this response to you and others, I never needed to question one opinion because of his/her color and neither have I responded with innuendo of what ones intentions are, and elude to them as being anything other but another poster stating their opinion, Not calling them names such as a "Sock Puppet". I do find with interest how others just over look these statements by Mr. Gay Boy. But I again reflect back on what I stated earlier in this post, I do not know Mr. Gay Boy and have little experience in interpreting or comprehending his statements in his postings.
I apologized for anything offensive I might have said earlier. I certainly hope those that read that would see my sincerity in it.
In the question you have directed to me Mr. R, "What Color am I? Well I have had that exact question in the past myself. I am of a darker pigmentation of my skin. In general public opinion I am often referred to as Black. However that is simply a common stereotyping that has been passed down for generations, I have had my skin color presented several years ago on a National Program that asked the very same question you asked. The results were very surprising to others as well as myself. The color spectrum analyzer that tested my skin under controlled lighting conditions pale brown.
As a color of low intensity, brown is a tertiary color in the original technical sense: a mix of the three subtractive primary colors is brown if the cyan content is low. Brown exists as a color perception only in the presence of a brighter color contrast: yellow, orange, red, or rose objects are still perceived as such if the general illumination level is low, despite reflecting the same amount of red or orange light as a brown object would in normal lighting conditions.
I hope this has answered you question and has given a proper response to your statement as well.
