Blame the liberals I say. They are the ones adept at creating racial divisions in society so they can earn more votes from minorities and make them feel oppressed so they vote Democrat
One of the comforting aspect about this world is that you must be the only one to believe that stinky crap.

Yep, pull out that race card on all who oppose the policies of Dear Leader.

How do you explain the enthusiasm of conservatives in '95 when there was talk of a Colin Powell presidency? How do you explain conservative support of Herman Cain and Allen West?

Your Narrative fails.

Obama has reminded me repeatedly there are two America's, one black and one white, and he's pointedly demonstrating he is not on my side.
I'm with ya. All we can do is protect our families and ourselves and try to stay out of the crosshairs. Ain't nothing going to change. All the outrage over one incident or another where racial tensions played a role will not change a thing.
So why worry.....that's the most sense I've heard all day

So then it shouldn't be an issue of race, therefore it shouldn't be an issue of liberal's reaction to racial violence, which was my original point.

Colin Powell was never a candidate, Cain and West don't stand a chance.

Obama made it to the Presidency. That is the difference, the unacceptable reality.

Do you ever get tired of playing the race card ad naseum? Why aren't you outraged at the 30%+ unemployment of black Americans under Obama?

The vision of the USA is one in which everyone is able to prosper economically with maximum individual liberty and the least government intrusion into our daily lives and our wallets as possible. So, why doesn't Obama back this vision of our Constituion? Why is his vision one which limits economic opportunity, limits personal liberty, and increases government intrusion into the wallets of those who produce and into the daily lives of every citizen?

I don't think race plays a role. Many Americans indeed seem very aggressive, most of them don't give a crap about society as long as they are doing fine themselves. Except for superficial things such as patriotism there isn't any real cohesion. Just 300+ million individuals happening to live within the same borders and considering each other competition or even enemies...

I love how I couldn't even get through the first 3 post pages and all the usual Conservative "I'm not a racist" on here are glad that these racist killed this innocent man. You know who you are and you need to stop being lil and say what you really feel which is you are glad that the black man was killed because blacks are getting to uppity for you. You are all trash and someday that hate will visit you.

All that needed to be said for the attacks in Wisconsin and this senseless tragedy was the criminals who did these things needed to pay. But NOOOO lets all of us decent law abiding citizens race war with each other. That will make the world a better place. Stop being so stupid.
