Ok. But why do you care so much about what Charlie Rangel said? He's your representative? You're from Harlem?

If the only thing the dirtbag was involved with was his district I don't think anyone would care, but since he's involved with quite a bit more than that......

You really can't be that ignorant about American politics can you?

I can hardly believe you've never heard this word applied to a political or societal scenario.

I agree with you 100%, one must have been living under a rock all their lives not to know what polarization means in the context you used it.....

Polarization

a : division into two opposites
b : concentration about opposing extremes of groups or interests formerly ranged on a continuum

Polarization - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Thank you.

The next question that immediately comes to my mind is this - why should I purchase a dictionary when I can peruse the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary online?

Please. Can you vote him out? No.

Worry about things that you can control.

Exactly, and we do have an identifying culture. The rest are all minority cultures. I'd like to know how it is diversity when we have million of Mexicans pouring over our border illegally along with them enjoying the largest quotas for legal immigration also. How about we start really diversifying again rather than favoring one ethnic/national group as we are today? Wonder what Rangel's response would be to that?

Multiculturalism, or more specifically racial diversity has NEVER proven to be beneficial.

It is an emotional issue for some retards, but in this place we live called reality, it leads to nothing but conflict. There is no demonstrable benefit in regards to racial diversity.
