I guess "Stormfront" has taken over CD now with all of these "race based" threads.

Personally, I don't feel comfortable talking about racism with other groups on the job or at school so many things could be misconstrued and hurt me. When I talk about racism with my people, it is to learn how to overcome racism and build a strong Black community. I love my people, but most of all I'm proud to be human. We all are human. We should love one another like we love ourselves.
As long as some are excluded it seems.

Hmm, you did not understand my post. The meeting was for people of color to freely express their experiences with racism and learn how to deal with it without someone interjecting that their experience was not racism. The meeting organizer offered an alternative for Whites.

An "alternative for whites" is called segregation.

You claim not to be a racist, yet you use demeaning terms to describe Obama and his family, and have no problem emphasizing his race. I have a hard time believing this.

This original incident didn't even involve a black person, which makes your rant ridiculous. There have always been crazies who get a little too wrapped up in their activism to recognize that it's not a zero sum game. It didn't start with Obama.


I could care less to be called something I am not~
that might shut some folks up, but it does not work with me
I said Obama because he IS a racist and since he has been in office it has gotten worse
good lord every frigging thing is about race
in case you have not noticed
some hot dog called the NFL RACISIT because a "bunch of white folks" want to band the N word from the NFL
listen to HIS rant if you want to hear a rant
and what I am saying is I am sick of it so wow the nerve of me to say something on a public forum
how dare I
you do not know me nor do you know anything about me yet you think it is alright to call me a name that is supposed to send fear in my heart
well that is one of the ways we got here
the left scared white folks about race
hell they even played the "race card" on Bill Clinton
who I voted for twice AND supported his wife
this is not news Obama is a huge race baiter he brings it up every chance he gets
good grief
I am saying I am sick to death about it

When liberals start screaming "stormfront" they are toast. I've never been to that site but it appears they do often. Liberals are all about racism anymore........just leave folks alone.

I didn't even bring up Obama in the first place. All I said was that some left wing wacko person (who happens to be Native American, not black by the way) was being all left wing wacky. It happens at times in the intellectualized diversity community when they forget what diversity really means. From my experience, I don't think her views represent minorities very well, just as "racist" views don't represent white people very well either (yourself included.) I think that Obama is wholly irrelevant in this discussion.

Basically, I was calling out those who made generalizations about all minorities in the U.S. based on the actions that took place at this one community college. That's all.
