"We originally sought to redeem the soul of America from the triple evils of race, war and poverty. Most of the issues that we're dealing with now are related to poverty. But we still want to put everything in a racial context. The problem with the – and the reason I feel uncomfortable condemning the Klan types is – they are almost the poorest of the poor. They are the forgotten Americans. And, um, they have been used and abused and neglected. Instead of giving them affordable health care, they give them black lung jobs, and they're happy. And that just doesn't make sense in today's world. And they see progress in the black community and on television and everywhere and they don't share it. Now it's not our fault. We've had a struggle from slavery. But black – while they call themselves militants, but they're not militants, they're chicken – we never tried to take advantage of anybody else. Our job was not to put down white people. Our job was to lift everybody up together."

You posted it here without issue?

Yeah, it's supposed to convert that hyphen - seems to work in advanced mode, but not quick reply. I'm still working on it.

Cool, was frustrating. =)

I wasn't able to filter out the special hyphens and quotes in the quick reply, but all you have to do is click Go Advanced to help filter it.

Thanks for taking a look.

I had the same error msg today on another thread, so I took a look through my post and didn't notice any odd characters (though I did "-" hyphenate a few words).

The odd thing is I went to advanced mode to look at the text, didn't change a thing and hit submit and it posted just fine.

Advanced mode filters it out, while quick reply doesn't have that capability.

All you have to do is replace the commas and quotation marks and stuff and your post will go through. Not a big deal.

Easier to click the "Go Advanced" button and simply post from there.
