I recently went into a little second hand store near my home. I went in and found a beautiful old set of china and I decided to buy it. I asked the shop owner how much and was told it was already sold. So I found something else in the shop. Once again I was told it was sold.. I repeated this process numbers of times and each time was told it was sold. I have a lifetime friend who is mexican.. I told him what I wanted and he went in and bought it, and guess what, it wasn't sold afterall... Discrimination is discrimination regardless of who does it.

All racist that I know black or white have some glaring weakness that everyone around them knows about. I figure that is what makes them think they can feel superior just for being part of a race because as an individual they are pathetic.
I'm sorry but I really think that's a **** poor way to determine political policy. Oh noez I may have to explain something difficult to my child!!1! I'm already going to have to explain a lot to my child, that's life. Life's hard, wear a helmet.

I love this line of thought. If suddenly big brother decides to stop forcing us to be nice we'll all decide to just go back to the 1950's. Allowing a business to decide who it wants to serve =/= Jim Crow laws. Give me a break.

It really shows their true colors. Neo Progs truly believe that they are the only "enlightened" ones and the rest of us need the government to think for us.

I would like to add that I would never say "Oh noez' sorry I do not speak that way

Yes, because that's a really ****ty way to govern a nation. No wonder we're such a weak ass nation, we're afraid kids might have to see that life's difficult and full of strife.

Look if you want a society were racism is front and center then fine. I prefer what we have now. I do not need more racism on full display. Why do you want this so bad? It will not make you a better person because people are allowed to have full public racism on display.
