I'm a racist, like how  ??
Arrogant.......yes,
Intimidating(at times) attitude.....yes
Bigoted (against certain IGNORANCES that I see/hear) perhaps,
but racist,......NO !

~sigh~

 

[Ms Tree]

You mean using the "N" word like BaRack? Yep, no double standard there!
Can you imagine the repercussions if a white politician had done the same?

First listen to what he said. Then you might be able to tell the difference.

Clinton could have gotten away with it. Any white politician would have been treated the way that Dr. Laura was after her infamous call-in episode five years ago:

Had Bill O'Rielly or even Bill Maher said Obama's comment verbatim, they'd be off the air by lunchtime tomorrow.

Would it have mattered what context it was used in, if a white politician had used it?

Don't really see how you can defer anything at all!

When it comes to a White Supremacist proving there is no such thing as White Supremacy,  you got the cred.

I do not see O'Reilly every saying that racism is still alive an well so no. If he were to use the N word things would definitely have turned out different.

Schlessinger is a hate monger. Not even a valid comparison. That's like mentioning Jackson or Sharpton.

Context does matter. Who says it matters. If a KKK member tells a joke about jews it probably has a different meaning than if John Stewart says the same joke. Fair? Sometimes. Get over it.

Next on the list.... one of the most popular movies of all time, owned ironically by the same studio that just banned the "Dukes of Hazzard" toys.

Times change. What is your point? Minorities have much more political clout and more legal protections so they now can speak out against things that are wrong.

And there you have it folks, Whites are the only ethnicity that's capable of racism!

 

[Ms Tree]

That is not even close to what he wrote. Wishing it so does not make it so.

After all these times I pointed out how much you and Al Sharpton have in common.

Truth be told 'Dog,........the DUMB  BAS-TARD can't help it. In other words to a large extent it's NOT his fault.
 
If you or I or anyone WITH A BRAIN (for that matter) takes a look at how the east coast of the US was populated, you'd have a better understanding of the F'd-Up South.
The More highly educated europeans, be they Irish/English/German/Italian etc.  gravitated more to the larger US east coast CITIES.  Back in the day, there weren't ANY large metropolitan areas in the south.  ZERO / NONE.  (HOT-LANTA  back then was just a rural shiit-hole)   Critical thinking / reasoning  is more easily accomplished by Highly Intelligent people, who as I mentioned above, gravitated to the large US cities, which were all in the area of DC, northward.  It's why there is a disproportionate number of world class universities from DC, all the way up to Harvard.
Now I'm speaking specifically about populating the Atlantic (US) coast BEFORE the early westward expansions (Thinking of cities like Pittsburg/Cleveland/Detroit/Chicago  etc.)
 
So when the 'baseline' DNA was first laid down along the east coast (from maine to florida) the south wound up (as usual) with the 'Shiit-end of the stick'  !!
 
THEN came an additional HUGE denominator, ...White EVANGELICAL / Protestant Religion.. aka..known as the BAPTIST Church.
more specifically the " Southern Baptist " Church.
 
Dog. If we were around back in 1860, you and I could have walked into ANY Episcopal church on any given sunday, and found black folks in the congregations in cities like Boston / Providence / New Haven / NY City / Newark / Trenton / Philadelphia / Baltimore / and DCA,........................However...THAT would be the " End of the Line" so to speak.
 
It really isn't rocket science.  It's FACTUAL early United States History !

Yeah...... that's why they have more clout and legal protections.
 
Just keep telling yourself that.

 

[Dog Wonder]

Maybe Southwind and Troll La La have so much in common with Sharpton because they belong to the same race.
