If looking for a suspect, that is one matter. LePage, on the other hand, went off the deep end by specifically singling out White women. Pretty much ignored the rest of the female population.

By that logic, I could just say that what you are saying is an attack on anyone who actually judges the individual and not the whole race.

By that standard, being colorblind should not be called "racism". MLK called for colorblindness. I guess us white folks are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

Yes, he called for a society where individuals are judged by what they do, and not their skin color. If that is such a problem, well, tough.

Talk to the DNC. They have the opposite viewpoint. If you don't acknowledge racial differences then you are a racist. Of course if you do, and are the wrong color, and aren't politically correct, then you are the devil himself. Pretty convenient, eh?

How is not looking at racial differences make someone a racist? Last I checked, not thinking about race can't be considered racist, because there is no thinking about race.

You complain about the left, but you are the one obsessing about race. Hypocritical. I'm not talking about left or right. You are.

I don't know if I can help you if you aren't paying attention. The new left line is that anyone who is not a leftist and mentions MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech is racist because they are promoting colorblindness and not acknowledging "blackness" or the "black experience". Social Justice Warriors have spent a couple generations trying to make sure that blacks are "equal" and now that they are, they have done a 180 and are criticizing anyone who doesn't talk about differences. Like I said, white folks can't win. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't. I am one white man who refuses to feel guilty for what I didn't do and if you are black did not happen to you.

I'm not asking you to feel guilty for what you didn't do. I'm tired of the racially bigoted tirades. And I don't care about you trying to "help" me understand.

So politicians never talk about and single out blacks and non-whites as the poor victims? That's all they do especially liberals. How many times has Obama said 'people of color' are victimized in society?

Same old stuff. If you tell the truth today you are a "racist" and a "bigot".
