Obsession with 'the other' is a total waste of time. From outside it is obviously and digustingly racist, but discussing it is like nazis discussing the percentiage of Jewish 'blood' in, say, Stauss. Why don't you recognise the crime of enslaving people and say it happened before your time, to other people. Why are you all so keen to take on the guilt?

Guilt? What "guilt"?

(1) Wrong, You are being hasty, jumping to conclusions, and being rude, imo.

OK. Rude? lol.

Wake said:
(2) So, there seems to be a double-standard in this country.
Click to expand...

Never said anything about a double standard. You have conservative hacks that do exactly the same thing. Nothing double about that.

Wake said:
(3) I am not, and you are wrong.
Click to expand...

I am going to disagree because the evidence says different.

Wake said:
(4) That is you, Not me. I think there's a double standard in this country and I want that standard erased and replaced with fairness for all, in which black and white racists are called out equally, and given equal castigation. You may not think the possible or practical, but it's a belief worth sticking to because it's fair.

It happens on both sides of the political isle, what part of that are you misunderstanding? It is not a race issue, it is political game playing and nothing more.

Wake said:
(5) That was directed at Redress, not you.
Click to expand...

Fair enough. I don't think Red has anything to acknowledge either, but that's on him.

Your avatar is not racist. In fact considering his comments about the shooting without knowing any details I understand the parody value.

without knowing any details huh?

if that were the case, I'd be one of the race-baiting sheep defending Zimmerman.

I didn't vote for Herman Cain precisely for doing that.

What might that tell you, TPD?

It tells me that your actions are inconsistent with what you are saying here.

Wake. This thread isn't about you. Nobody gives a ****. Besides, Herman Cain dropped out of the race months before the Minnesota primary so you couldn't have voted for him even if you had wanted to (if my memory servers me correctly about you being from Minnesota).
 
Wake said:
At least you're being fair on that point.

Thunder illuminates my point VERY clearly, in that he doesn't think AL is a racist, yet he claims Neal is for having that avatar. My pov is that all men and women should be treated fairly regarding race.

again, you are blind to the race-baiting of Conservatives.

how pathetic.

Your refusal to back up your charge that my avatar is racist is noted.

putting Obama in a hoody, accusing him of race-baiting?

please. That added with your obsessive attacks against Obama for every issue under the sun, including his BC, suggests bigotry.

(1) When you start calling me a political hack, insult my intelligence, and whatnot, you're being rude.

(2) I KNOW some conservatives do it, but when you see on the media that there's an outrage when 5 white students attack a black student, yet practical silence when 5 black students attack a white student, there IS a major double-standard in this country.

(3) Then you had better prove it, because I am not a partisan hack. And no, I'm not going to start a major argument to disprove your stupid accusation, because that would derail this thread.

(4) It does happen on both sides of the aisle, but the media doesn't seem to acknowledge that, among other people.

I agree, but we all know Thunder is a left leaning political hack, Redress may be left leaning but a hack he is not. We also have right leaning hacks like Apdst and crew, You seem to be painting with a huge brush that only includes liberals.

Before you start your accusations, how about you take a look and realize I was responding to a question. Yeah, if someone asks me a question I'm going to respond.

This really is a good example of screaming racism where it does not exist.

Nobody asked you who you voted for or wanted to vote for or didn't want to vote for.

um......aren't you the one who said that one should be able to say negative things about races, without being called a racist?

you doth protest too much.

Pardon?

I just said/acknowledged there are conservatives that play the race card as well as liberals.

Did you somehow not hear that?

Look again. I was responding to this:

ThePlayDrive said:
Are you forgetting all the race card playing certain conservatives when Herman Cain was running? I guess so.
Click to expand...

If you think I'm not going to respond to such a smarmy comment, you're wrong. And if you think I'm "talking about myself" because I'm directly responding to a personal comment directed at me, you're wrong.

but you choose to only name Liberal/Progressive ones.

that's called being a hypocrite.

I'm well aware that conservatives do it too.

However, imhfo, liberals do it more often.
