hahahahaha.

I'm sorry, I know it's not really funny, but it struck me as funny.

I really respect the people who chose to protest. I don't necessarily agree with everything, but it's their right and I agree with the sentiments.

But don't you know that EVERYTHING has to do with race.<<i say with sarcasm>>

Good grief. Why can't people just get over it! There is a gathering of people somewhere, and you can almost count of someone saying "well there aren't any (fill in the race) people there."

Why the heck does everything have to go back to race? Some people are white, some black, some brown, ect. After how many years on the planet, we still just can't get over it?! I hope someday I can live in a world where someone's race is just an adjective. Maybe then, people will realize that [i]everyone[/i] is different. [i]Everyone[/i] is unique, and [i]everyone[/i] is created and loved by God equally. And race has nothing to do with it.

If everyone who is part of an ethnic, racial, or religious group that had been discriminated against in the past were continually talking about it, there would be a very, very small group of people who would ever be able to do anything productive.

Ok ? I was just answering the question asked. Black people couldn't vote or drink out of the same waterfountain not to along ago. Read what I posted ealier in the thread I think its stupid what this lady said. But it still doesnt change the disgusting not to reacent history of this country. And most black peole I've hung out with dont even bring it up and I think that makes them even that much more better of people. But if they were to bring it up im right there listening because its very real to them and what probally their grandparents went though. Peace

...not to mention, blacks were chased down and hung from trees...i don't think that's something that can easily be swept under the rug and forgotten....not to mention that people of all races and colors are continually discriminated against...(even whites)...racism is not dead...

jeanine garafalo, though, is playing the racist card...and i think in doing that, she might as well be calling blacks the "n" word, because she is using the whole brutal history of racism, and all that the black people suffered to propagate her own liberal/leftist/commie agenda...

Obviously our country has unresolved race issues, but J.G. knows thats not what was going on here. She also knows that is the one issue that she can throw out and everyone will bite their lip.

The tea parties were not about racism and to bring that up (even given our countries history) without a single racially motivated speach or sign reported is ignorant.

Agreed 100 % phamily.

[Guest]

and this might be taken as racist but obama is not the kind of black guys i've hung out with.
my black friends like little babies and dont want them murdered.

[Mercy me]

I wish that I could have attended one of the tea parties. Unfortunately, they held it during my working hours.

I really hope that someone gets a clue. These idiots in Washington are testing de Toucqueville's hypothesis a too much for my taste.

Yes.Culturally, the blacks in this country are very socially disparate from the Democrats. When looking at issues like abortion, gay marriage, so forth, you'll find that the stances of most blacks and the Democratic party do not mesh.

I couldn't agree with you more. This is the most moderate position to take, and the most logical...to deny that racism is an issue is ignorant, yet to use the race card to such a subject that it doesn't apply is worse. I'd met many white people that say their not racist because they don't use the "N-Werd" and yet by their actions considered most people of color [including myself, native america, my foster sister, Moroccan Muslim, etc] to be lessor of a person.

I find it difficult to consider that to be classified as a "tea party", as if it was anything close to that which was known as the boston tea party. Protests are hardly as serious [and are never taken as serious] as what went down at the Bostom Tea Party, which was actions, not just words.

Loosing can be tough, but it can be nice to be graceful in defeat.

Just a suggustion
