I'm going to hope you were trying to be intentionally funny and ironic because the alternative explanation is just sad if true.
My point is that basically this thread is 15-16 pages of outrage towards minorities because some minority did something stupid.

It's one crazy person. Nothing to see here.

The bolded part makes you sound just as bad as the people you are talking about. Just because they are white, they don't have anything meaningful to add to the conversation? Not only that, but it is not fair to act as if white people have never been on the receiving end of racism.

no it is NOT one crazy person if that were the case it would not be as bad
but since Obama has been elected it is becoming more an more about division
class division gender division and race division
this idiot thought it pretty cool no white were allowed well if she had said no blacks are allowed she would have been burned at the stake
whites are now being staked out just because we are white
and by some who want to get even
hell I have not done anything to a black person
I grew up in the 1960's I was a kid and well remember that horror
I saw the KKK marching and was terrified I did not understand but I knew it was wrong
well it is still wrong for race fights
but I for one am NOT going to sit down like a good little girl and say nothing to see here
there is plenty to see
this shi^ is coming from a small number but if it is not called out it will continue to grow
this hack that sits in the white house and his fat wife are racists
so is have of the progressive blacks in Washington
I for one am mad as hell and I am not going to shut up

most of the politicians are scared to death of this black president
but thank God that is slowly changing
but it is going to take all of us who are not afraid to speak out

so what pray tell does slavery have to do with anything
were you a slave
do you know a slave
well I have not owned a slave
and slavery has not ONE thing to do with this
the other things you brought are relevant as much as you want to deny it
and the progressives have done much to keep black folks tied down
look at the racism in the black community towards other black who point out problems AND a solution
but they are called Uncle Tom
take Col Allen West
he is amazing
but he is attacked all the time
look I am a recovering alcoholic and in order for me to get sober I had to face facts then take steps for the rest of my life
when I was caught up in domestic violence I wanted to just be a victim it got me a load of sympathy and attention it also almost cost me my life I finally had to wake up and do something
people got tired of me pissing and moaning and staying in my shi^
well I as a white woman am sick of the pissing and moaning of a lot of black folks that who does not want to change anything but want to be catered to and have us grovel and cower down
well this old lady says not just no, but hell fuc8ing no!!
quit bitching and do something about your life
then help someone else
that is what we do in AA we get sober then we help the next drunk and on and on

This rant makes no sense.

You admit that it's a small number who do this, but claim that Obama is making this number grow larger.

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.

You're pulling things out of the air. I don't know what you mean but please don't explain. I have said nothing that should get your underwear in a bunch. I said my opinion, and you don't like my answer. I see the school situation offended you. I am hope you feel better. My comments were based on my personal experience and how I understood the meeting. 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.
