You're OK with that?
Say what? I think you misunderstood.

That is whate this lady attempted to do with the President of this country.

Because of his stature, he must diplomatically address it, most other Black People don't have that position to contend with.
And then YOU become the aggressor! Then YOU lose credibility and any sympathy! OK yeah the dude probably had it coming and I believe you reap what you sow, but now you're the one going to jail for assault. Now on the other hand if this guy makes a move to physically assault you then the gloves are off! Now you have a right to use force, and defend yourself! Other than that... take the high road. There is no shame in doing so.

Look I realize it's hard to do sometimes. I mean, seriously sometimes you want to break a foot off in someone's a** who disrespects you, and what not. But again, is it worth sitting in a jail cell and facing an assault charge over some idiot running his mouth? Like I said to the person above, defend yourself if physically assaulted. Other than that, smile, walk away, and watch them get even more p***ed off!

No. The only thing that will happen, and has been happening is, they will become more closeted and shrink in numbers as the society as a whole matures further.

If using logic could convince black racists like Lucario and reconmark to release their viselike grips on the race card worked they would have done so long ago. They enjoy playing the perpetual victim FAR too much to ever say " I am self confident enough to shrug off meaningless insults from nitwits without reacting ."
If there is no truth to the insult than why get offended? Would a skinny person get angry if someone called him "fatso"?
Would a straight A student care if the drop out called him stupid?
People who use racial slurs are not flattering themselves, why not just leave it at that? Why the need to become part of the idiocy? (rhetorical question).

People like you would like that wouldn't you? There was a time "lest we forget" that whites called blacks these names and nothing had better be said. Oh yeah those names were not true then either, but right wing whites(these are the same people) used them constantly and the black man had better not utter a word of defiance or hell would come down on him. I know some would love to use monkey and boy and ni66er and all the rest that I'm sure some of the experts on here can name but those days are gone. And they will stay gone.

Let's see. It's not racist when Bush has his face photoshopped on a chimp but it's racist because Obama is black and we all know the sterotype that claims blacks look like monkeys so it's racist? Is that why it's racist to call Obama a chimp or photoshop his face on a chimpanzee, but it's not racist to do it to Bush?



Bush or Chimp? YOU DECIDE

Obama as chimp racist? Bush as chimp not? « Dvorak News Blog
Photo-shopping Obama's face on a chimpanzee is racist. And those arguing against this fact are racist as well... Deal with it...

Can't agree with you more! The days of blacks not being able to speak/act against ignorance is long gone.
