I'm curious, after 23 pages, has anyone said that their own side is the racist one? If so, how do they reconcile loyalty to that side, what do they think is the cause of this problem for their side, and what should they be doing about it? That's pretty much the only opinion in all this that would be worth hearing.

The conservatives I have dealt with tend to be more racist, especially the fundamentalist Christian ones. There--I just did.

In my entire life I've never heard anyone claim to being racist. The closest you'll get is the use of the word "pride."

That's exactly what he is saying. Of course, that's what Mitt Richboy said last year in the campaign.
 
The Right is not racist. They just espouse racist bull**** every now and again.

I and at least a couple others have refused to vote one way or another since it is a stupid question. How do you judge? How do you define racist? Why do we need to demonize the other side by calling them names instead of debating their policies?
 
Easily the right wing, though those kind of right wingers are a dying breed.

Hence why I tried to seer things a little by talking about problems on one's own side, rather than attacking the other.

Random out of date dictionary that is uncheckable is not what you would call reliable. That is why I gave verifiable sources. As it is, your comments are just some random guy on the internet, no credibility at all. Your track record for accuracy is painfully bad, which makes it all the worse. Provide some evidence please. Until you do that, you are wasting both our time.

Orgin of the word "RACE"

Spanish

raza:
In horse breeding, the strain of thourghbred horses branded in order to be distinguished; in cloth, the uneven thread that is different from others in the weft; in families. slightly derogatory

Source:
Sebastian de Covarrubias Horozco, Tesoro de la lungua o espanola, Madrid: Luis Sanzhez, 1811.



If I wanted to find out the orgin of the word "volkswagen" I'm not going to use a Spanish or English dictionary or Wiki.
 
You know what I like about this thread? According to the results, it's a pretty well balanced debate site. Good to know.

No... but a large portion are dependent. 46 million is a lot.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau data released September 13, 2011, the nation's poverty rate rose to 15.1% (46.2 million) in 2010

Welfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The best estimate of the cost of the 185 federal means tested welfare programs for 2010 for the federal government alone is nearly $700 billion, up a third since 2008, according to the Heritage Foundation. Counting state spending, total welfare spending for 2010 reached nearly $900 billion, up nearly one-fourth since 2008 (24.3%).

America's Ever Expanding Welfare Empire - Forbes

As you can see there is a lot of money in the "keeping people dependent business" and that means people jobs. There are a lot of people working in this industry.

You guys stick to your rheteric like glue even tho it is meaningless garble....

The POTUS has been tarred and feathered figuratively from day one..The bar is so low for racist righties it's below sea level..Palin, Cruz, and Confederate Klayman on the same stage would be despicable if from the left..The USA is numb to the rightist racists so lefties do stand out .

Post for me one racist quote from Palin or Cruz. I don't know who Klayman is, so I'll leave that be for now.

I suppose anyone who would think that they are on the racist side would be busy having their hood and sheet dress fitted and wouldn't be on this forum at all.

Or maybe it's a matter of facing up to ugly truths about your own side that you'd rather not have to see, and doing some internal policing.

It seems like every day that some prominent talking person from the left is making some racist comment against someone from the right especially on MSNBC.

Whatever is the political leaning of the poster, the opposition is unquestionably the most racist based on truth, integrity and objectivity!

Let's do this. Post a racist quote from a prominent conservative (try and keep it recent enough to be meaningful), just one, and I'll see if it deserves policing. If so I will publicly denounce that person in my sig line from here on out. OK

They are usually completely accurate? My political predictions are frequently usually completely accurate as well.

Some of us don't call everything racist. The definition I use for racism actually makes it hard to call racism on any one of either side. I think we overuse the term, diluting its impact. Just because something is not racist does not make it good. For example, one that came up not long ago, calling some one an Uncle Tom is not racist by my definition as it does not have a presumption of either superiority or inferiority of a race. It is racial, and it is a vile accusation, but not racist.

Unless we look at Legislation and those who are against certain legislation. That's when you will see genuine racism in action.

The former is "Affirmative Action" and the second is voter ID.

It's an expression used to keep Black people in line. It is hugely demeaning and makes the user as ignorant as someone who would use the word nigger.
