How many times have you brought that up? That was one incident that occurred eight months ago in Palm Springs. The woman wasn't old, and she wasn't injured in any way.

Does it still really bother you that much, or is it that you just enjoy bringing it up as a way to say something negative about gays? Either way - I think you should get over it.

A dyed in the wool Multi-culturalist would say "We cannot condemn the Somali Youth for their views or actions because they are accepted norms in their culture. Who are we to declare that their actions are inappropriate because they offend our cultural values of tolerance and pluralism? Our cultural values are no more legitimate then theirs"

Wonder if this video may change a few minds. Thanks for posting.

No. Race, per se, is not the issue. The issue is intelligence. The average IQ in Africa south of the Sahara is about 70. The average IQ of Whites in America is 100. So we can assume that the average IQ of the harrassers was 70 and the IQ of the gay man was 100. I think the behavior of each as presented in the video reflects this difference.

Geeez! I agree with the LuckyGem! Who would have known that there was common ground?

Just to be perfectly clear, though, you believe that there is a strong correlation between IQ and/or native intelligence, and race, yes?

And how does everyone know they are not citizens of the United States? Most of them look young, so they're probably natural born citizens. That have as much right to this land as any one here. They are Americans exercising their right to free speech, even if its hate speech. This country tolerates hate speech, like the stuff coming from yours mouths and organizations like the westboro baptist church. Unless you are a member of the indigenous tribes of Minnesota, you don't have claim on that land. And if you don't like the First Amendment, I suggest you move to another country.

Hate speech is legal, but I believe harassment is not.
