These people in those examples are stupid and make stupid comments just like the rest of us, but they need to think about what they say more than we do because they are in the spotlight. The majority of Conservatives I know, most of whom are Republican, have no issue with race. It seems to generally be the liberals who pull the "race card" constantly, and divide the country along lines of race through certain issues.


I think it's interesting, because the Democrats for a long time were the proponents of segregation and intolerance in America.

Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) for example:

Wiki wrote:

Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan when he was 24 in 1942. His local chapter unanimously elected him Exalted Cyclops.
According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did." Byrd held the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops.
In 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:[9]
“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
   
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944

Tell me that's not racism.

How the hell did he manage to get elected?

Michael
Richards better known as Kramer from
TVs Seinfeld does make a good
point.


This
was his defense speech in court after making
racial comments in his comedy act.  He
makes some very interesting
points...


Someone
finally said it.  How many are actually
paying attention to this?  There are African Americans,
Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab
Americans, etc.

And then there are
just Americans.  You pass me on the street
and sneer in my direction.  You call me
'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,'
'Caveman'... and that's
OK..


But
when I call you, N*gger, K*ke, Towel head,
Sand-n*gger, Camel Jockey, Be*ner, G*ok, or
Ch*nk .. You call me a
racist.


You
say that whites commit a lot of violence against
you... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous
places to live?


You
have the United Negro College
Fund. You have Martin Luther King
Day.


You
have Black History
Month.  You have Cesar
Chavez Day.


You
have Yom Hashoah.  You have Ma'uled
Al-Nabi.


You
have the NAACP.  You
have BET.... If we had WET (White Entertainment
Television), we'd be racists.  If we had a
White
Pride Day, you would call us
racists.


If
we had White History Month, we'd be
racists.


If
we had any organization for only whites to
'advance' OUR lives, we'd be
racists.


We
have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black
Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the
plain Chamber of Commerce.  Wonder who pays
for that??


A
white woman could not be in the Miss Black
American pageant, but any color can be in the
Miss America pageant.


If
we had a college fund that only gave white
students scholarships... You know we'd be
racists.


There
are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in
the US ..  Yet if there were 'White
colleges', that would be a racist
college.


In
the Million Man March,
you believed that you were marching for your
race and rights.  If we marched for our
race and rights, you would call us
racists.


You
are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,
and you're not afraid to announce it.  But
when we announce our white pride, you call us
racists.


You
rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a
white police officer shoots a black gang member
or beats up a black drug dealer running from the
law and posing a threat to society, you call him
a racist.


I
am proud.... But you call me a
racist.


Why
is it that only whites can be
racists??


There
is nothing improper about this e-mail..
Let's see which of you are proud enough to
send it on.  I sadly don't think many will.
That's why we
have LOST most of OUR
RIGHTS in this country.  We won't
stand up for ourselves!


BE
PROUD TO BE
WHITE!


It's
not a crime YET... but
getting very close!

I don't necessarily agree with this, but thought I'd share it just the same.

Agreed. And like I said, I didn't write it, but I do agree with some of it. This is a prime example of the pussification of America. In some states like California, whites ARE the minority. (I have no link to back up that last statement, but I did hear it somewhere recently, correct me if I'm wrong)

You probably saw it in another stupid e-mail

A quick search shows:

Aren't you the same people that excuse Letterman, and crusify Imus? Shouldn't Obama just get a "thick skin". He is a politician remember, like Palin. If fucking Palins underage daughter is fair game, Obamas skin color certainly is............................. Isn't it?

Who here crucified Imus?

Yer kidding right, even you called for him to apologize. All the while Sara Palins 14 year old needs to grow a "thick skin"..The double standards in the opinions of this forums members are rediculous.


What I am saying is the tone of threads changes depending upon WHO we are talking about and not what has been said.
