I wish I were more patient, but I am just so damn sick and tired of liberals. If there is one policy – just ONE – that you guys have put in place that has worked like it is supposed to, or returned one nickel of taxpayers’ “investment”, PLEASE tell us all about it. Otherwise, please feel free to fall at the feet of this nitwit President and come back in two years when NONE of us have jobs so we can all see how we are doing.

There was nothing racist about that cartoon, in either its execution or its intent. Neither Murdock nor Delonas should apologize for the fact that liberals saw a chimpanzee and automatically thought it depicted the President of the United States because he’s black.

That’s their problem.

But being a “centrist”, you would be of weak character and cowardice so it’s no surprise that you would seek the path of least resistance and “apologize.”

What a waste of space you people are.

Maybe hatred is too strong a word, and the ultimate underlying reason goes back to the Tower of Babel and even Eve.

I think humans fear the “other” and often seek to exalt themselves thru pulling others down, and that this is what is at the base of many alienations personally and between nations.

But I accept your point.

I guess my point is racism exists all over the world, it is not just a white black thing. Now that I have said it exists everywhere, that does not deny your point it is not as strong and is less prevelant. Prejudice does not always = hate, in fact, I would say it rarely does. Prejudice almost always = ignorance and lack of understanding. For example, GC is from the South, in the South blacks and whites interact every day. OTOH, in northern cities such as Boston and Philly, racism is stronger, the groups do not mix as much. The most non predjudiced state I have visited, a place where blacks and whites mix the most, is Mississippi.

Now in the Mid Atlantic you have a chattering class that would never even dream of thinking in race terms, they divide among class, not race.

I don’t agree with you GC about Europe, those nations where not created because of racism or hate, but you can elaborate if you want, but I agree with you on the rest. I might say racism is wider than you think, but it is also quite shallow. When good men meet good men, they know it.

Hillary with a big rack….

One of Barry was rejected when he said he hung out with people that approved of 911…..

Come to think of it…….Race really has no place in Political humor…..

For one thing, the word racist has different meanings and as to the word “is”, its hard to boil a person down to one word. So lets judge what they do. We can’t know people’s hearts and often you will find people with good hearts that do bad.

Some examples:

Let’s say that someone believes that as a GROUP, one race is, ON AVERAGE, less intelligent than another. But, this person treats people on an individual basis. This is the classic definition of racist, yet what this person actually does is what matters, not the belief.

I have found that many liberals view blacks as disabled children and never hire them, but would never use the “n” word.

Example #2

But I know white people that use the “n” word, but treat blacks as equals and hire them and socialize with them.

I told my staff engineer that I hired him because he was the best candidate with the best attitude that could benefit me in the business. A truly free market is color blind where the incentive to suceed and make money suppresses bigotry. I am going to hire the best person for my business or my company benefit and that decision will be made on qualifications and personality. Any other way and I will find myself without a job or losses for my company.

Maybe we need to do the same thing with “racist”.

However, as a white person, it kinda sticks when I try to say it. Too many years of bending over backward trying to be PC, I guess. Too many times being told I must be evil because of something some ancestor may or may not have done.

But let me screw up my courage to the sticking point, and boldly declare: “Maybe it’s racist of me, but I believe everyone should be responsible for themselves and no one should get special privileges because of the color of their skin. If this be racism, then I’m a racist.”

There; I said it.
