I see what you're doing and it's brilliant. 99% of people probably understand tpoacher's point perfectly, but you're pretending not to in order to be the 1%, and daring him to counteract his own point by ignoring you. Bravo.

I think the reason folks don't get his point, is because he thinks the discussion is about people, rather than ideas.

So it makes sense that his point makes no sense – it has nothing to do with the idea "doing X is asking for trouble and should be interpreted as a threat" for any value of X, unless you think there's a value of X which all black people believe and 0 non-black people believe, which I imagine is pretty basic racism.
