The problem with this analogy -- much like with your metaphor -- is that it's completely random. See, nobody would mention Eskimo Pie and instantly think of Merle Haggard. NE and the KKK have that same strong connection, pal. If you'd said Georgia and the Klan, then yes, you'd be spot on. But not New England.

However, in your world, racism is still this big, scary monster that's out to get everyone who isn't white, so I'm sure you and the FBI know more about it than I.

Also, nice use of the personal attacks again, by calling the man retarded. Way to build your reputation.
As opposed the the high road, which is to be intellectually dishonest by continuing to argue the literal meaning of something already explained as metaphor.

You sure showed me by not being intelligent enough to grasp the difference between a literal statement and a figurative one. Dishonesty and false arguments are definitely mature.
