led..  I am sure that it has not escaped anyones attention that you were the first to call people racist.   I just pointed out the irony of that.  If you want to not have to listen to people make racist charges then you would first have to muzzle yourself.

I did find your comment about the ride here kind of amusing tho...  lighthearted even.   No problem with that..

affirmative action + black history month

The sum of those two idiocies should just about cover whatever suffering the great great great grandsons/daughters of slaves undergo as a result of their ancestor's bondage... The rest of the suffering is their own doing.

The moment the civil rights movement went from 'give us freedom' to just plain 'give us', all sympathy should have been withdrawn.

I suppose Lasz calling what i'm saying "BS" is not considered flaming or insulting another member?

well, I took the time to read this. 

I feel like I'm missing something... I didn't understand the discord.  Maybe its because I'm sleep deprived today...

Anyway, I think government enforced payments of slave reparations of any kind are so extremely undo-able, unproductive and divisive in our country, not to mention undeserved by people who are alive today, that the idea should be dismissed out of hand..  I say we acknowledge that people who lived in the continental US and many other places in the world engaged in slavery some time ago, and move on.  Lets not dismiss the fact that white racism and black racism exist today.  Let's acknowledge it, and move on. 

Stand up for what is right and fair and true in your own time.  What more can a person do?

Yea Lasz i responded in kind when i saw the topic about Barack Obama possibly making reparations a part of his campaign. Why would he make reparations a part of his campaign, any more than any one else.

I then commented and said in that case he might as well make providing, watermelon, fried chicken and collard greens for everyone a major campaign issue.

The shear ignorance and blind insulting stupidity of that statement inscensed me.

Would i be wrong for saying that all Hispanics drive lowriders, or all jewish are money hungry bankers, lawyers. Or that all whites drive pickups and live in double wides, or some other ignorant comment like that. Yea i'd be wrong for it. Who even thinks like that anymore?

In never ceases to amaze me how some folks around here can lob shells like that around but when someone responds to it and refutes it they get see rule number whatever.

I shouldn't have to say anything about it, shouldn't even be an issue. Who still thinks in those ways in these days?

So it's ok to note elements that tipify cultures, only if they've never been used derogatorily?

What the hell's wrong with watermelon, fried chicken, and collard greens?!? That's southern food and probably eaten by more whites than blacks. To speak of it as if it were somehow disparaging is insulting. Damn yankees.  :P
