I find your attitude towards others "interesting". I doubt you find much in the way of significant agreement with such a narrow and limited perspective.

It is you with the narrow and limited perspective.Everyone must ignore America's wrong doings,and possible wrong doings, in order to make you and those like you 'comfortable'.Rev Wright spoke the truth.

Certainly has been a factor in any of your post thus far

There are tons of these types of individuals on this site, my intent is not to change the minds of those who won't change no matter what,but merely to statemy opinion.WHich is what forums are for.
So you are here to "state your opinion" among a bunch of posters who you think are ignorant.

I don't get your second comment,just as I don't get you and your parents total ignorance of reality.
I suspect your "not getting it" is a rather common occurrence, but thats just a hunch.

No, your "intent" is as you said earlier, to give all those people you consider ignorant your opinion. I happen to think your opinions are your cause and that you have a very high opinion of yourself, hence your incessant desire to belittle or attempt to humiliate those while hearing yourself talk from a soap box.

After reading a fair number of your postings, I have come to the conclusion that you are here less for discussion and more to troll and incite emotional responses in order get a rise from other members. So I'm sure we will be seeing more of each other in the future.

Now, back to the actual topic...

There has been rumor today that some of the Democratic demigods are signaling the same sentiments as McGovern, makes one wonder if Hillary will fight this out to the convention or bow out gracefully?

They will never believe, nor will I, that HIV was created to damage minorities.
The jury is out on whether HIV was created to kill minorities. But there is no longer any doubt about the historicity of the Tuskegee experiment and that it was aimed to harm the black population. You may disbelieve it if you wish, but you will not change the historicity of this event. You can also choose to disbelieve that the earth revolves around the sun, but that doesn't mean you are correct.

Facts are stubborn things.

These are the same people who think Wright is ''racist'' for pointing out racism.Of coarse many of the idiots on this site will think that I am ignorant for pointing out and being amused by thier true ignorance.

An off target hunch.But since you don't know me,suspect what you wish.

I just get amused by seeing just how ignorant ignorant people are.

I am curious what you believe happened during the Tuskegee experiments. I have heard people on TV getting it completely wrong. Please give us with your take. BTW I am ashamed of what happened but some people are ill-informed.

Check this out: NPR : Remembering the Tuskegee Experiment

Interestingly, Bill Clinton in 1997 in behalf of the US government even gave a formal apology to the victims' families.

I had just heard people stating that the government had given the people syphilis when they just did not treat them for the syphilis. It is still unconscionable but people need to have the facts before they speak. Our government has done some pretty terrible things and I am always concerned about government and their interferrence in individual's lives. That is why we need to get governement out of our lives. We need to let then know that we want a little government as possible.

Well you are assuming I and other are an idiot for not agree with how you see things. I personally don't think Wright is a racist and in fact I happen to agree at least in some respects with his views that our foreign policy has cause blowback and is in at least partly responsible for 9-11. After all this was basically the sentiments of many in our own CIA.

Well you would be wrong. This forum happens to have a fair balance of left and right leaning folks, many who have been hashing it out with one another for quite some time and MOST don't need to refer to those they disagree with as idiots, uneducated, or ignorant. Trust me, you don't have the great key to knowledge and understanding that no one else here has and if you think that you do, then I would recommend you find another forum for befitting a person of your education, grasp and understanding of the world around us.

You can complain that others have their own ideologies that won't allow them to see your "facts and understanding" and yet I can show you by your own posts that you are doing this exact same thing that you complain of and yet this escapes you somehow?

If you argue your position intelligently, coherently, and with tact, you might find that you can better engage folks at all levels and maybe even learn something along the way. You can make a point and argue with ferocity, but when you resort to name calling, no one will take you seriously, leading to even greater frustration and even less understanding.

Now, once again, that topic is....

McGovern urges Clinton to drop out
