I find the term "white trash" offensive (voted, Georgia, minorities)

I saw some black crack burnouts the other day.

Sorry, that's the only way I could describe those trashy souls.

Actually gay with children and with a husband of another race. I guess I'll go to my KKK rally now

OK.

It seems that you want to assume that all conservatives are opposed to interracial marriage.

If so - then you are guilty of faulty reaoning and are using hasty generalization.

Your antecdotes of "plenty of conservatives" does not mean that the majority of conservatives oppose such relationships - and we as a whole, do not.

Speaking for myself - I do not oppose interracial relationships - and I resent anyone whom claims the opposite.

I freely admit that I often lump all liberals into one group. I do so in direct response to liberals doing the same to conservatives - an example of which you just provided.

If you want me to stop throwing the same back in your face - then stop the broad brush strokes and ad hominem attacks when debating conservatives such as I, whom just want to rationally discuss the issues.

I think that the end product will be much more enlightening for both sides.

He never cited any particular race(s) as accociated with ghettos.

One definition of ghetto is a homogenously comprised geographical area.

That can apply to any racial demographic - which are largely meaningless.

How come some people are so hung up on skin color?

I don't get it.

Someone claimed that supporting interacial dating is liberal and I said it wasn't, and you deduced this?? You really have an issue with reading comprehension.

But why do liberals get away with it, but if anyone else uses those terms, all hell breaks loose and people scream bloody murder?

Are you a novelist?

Who are you mad at exactly? Black people never use the term as far as I can tell.
