Why do people act like they have a right to not be offended??

The title of this thread was totally explicit. THE RACE CARD.

If you are a straight male and saw a bar with a huge sign that said " THE GAY CLUB"

Would you walk in?
Its the same thing everyday. You guys start a new thread about the same thing every day and no progress is made.

A true racist would never hide from being called a racist.You think KKK members hide from being called a racist.
So its more like those who feel they are not racist whom decide to defend themselves from the term will say they are not racist.
If someone calls you a thief and you are not a thief would you defend yourself or accept the label?

Oh Please. The right has done everything in their power to divide this nation further than it even has been, all in the name of Politics, to say otherwise is delusional at best, dishonest most likely.
Oh, black still IS beautiful.

This nation was founded on bigotry and racism. But yes, slavery is over. And if you have never owned slaves, you have nothing to feel guilty about, so there should be never any reason or need to get defensive when someone black points out inequities or discrimnation. And you also have no business presumtuously trying to dictate how someone else should feel about that or get butt-hurt about the race card if your picture was never on it.

However, covert racism, the intangible undercover kind that cant be easily documented still rages.
And the perpetrators are the arrogant people who maintain an elitist slave owner mentality and outlook toward Afro Americans. Maybe they just wish they'd all go away. Pereferably "back to Africa", because blacks, like Obama, are what has been so very wrong with this great nation over the centuries, as if the Africans ever chose to come here.

Yes, all one has to do is read the posts on discussion boards such as this and it becomes very obvious where all the hate actually comes from
Wait till 2012, we ain't seen nothing yet.

These have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with individual responsibility.
You may be right about that, but I will still use it until racism is completely out the picture and/or when the percentage of the white population is equal to the black, hispanic, mexcian etc.

Are you serious? Members of the KKK wear hoods for a reason.
