You think people who exercise their First Amendment right to protest are stupid?

Got it.

Cough Fascism cough.

for anyone who feels that hearing constant squeals about imagined 'racism' confers a privilege - sure.

I suspect that is a rather small group of people.

Read through the location sections.
People see what they want to see. There are just as many that say they want to live in the city.

On the other hand, I don't think you will find many requests for people to re-locate to Ferguson, Mo. no matter what color they are.

yes i do. its rare when protesting gets anything done, especially these days when some protesters cause problems during the protest. take the ferguson protests for instance. does it really do any good to damage property of innocent people?

note however i NEVER said that protesters shouldnt be allowed to protest, and i never will. i support the constitution, and freedom of speech. i merely said that protesters are going to protest, and that the are generally stupid. YOU are the one that suggested fascism for what ever reason.

Do you feel that everyone who exercises their First Amendment right to protest are smart?

Do you feel the Westboro Baptist Church people are especially enlightened?

I personally think most people in the world are extremely stupid.

With that being said, I respect everyone's right to protest. Even if I disagree with their message, they deserve praise for standing up for what they believe in.

I gave up when I started being labeled a racist just for being white, and am expected to prove Im NOT racist. The other day I had to call the cops on a neighbor who was tossing around his wife, he (a black man) called me the N word.....I don't even think they know what theyre talking about anymore......

All okay. So I feel it's only right I have white pride.
Racial pride is one of the dumbest concepts known to man.

So I'm not surprised that you feel that way.

Do you have pride in the fact that you drink water too?

Lol..."white pride."

Not an opinion. "I don't see color" is a racist statement. You ignore the social privileges that a racist society has granted you.

I have pride that my neighbor and I have the same melanin content in our skin.
