If you do, fine by me. I am the only one that live by my code. No one else has to do it.
Arpaio and Pierce are trying to find ways to help enforce Federal laws. They aren't creating laws. If your insinuation is that these guys have proven links to neo nazi organizations due to their contributors I would have to cry foul. Most people don't even ever meet their contributors. When I contribute to things I usually get a form letter thanking me with a copied signature on it. I rarely meet the people I contribute to. They don't know me from Adam.

I take offense that you would suggest that i am a racist or bigot because I try to change the beliefs of those that rely on stereo-types when they meet peole. How do you think the world will get better if we react in anger and hatred to everyone we disagree with? That is what keeps stereo-types alive. If we treat people with intolerance we can only expect that in return.

I do not tolerate bigotry. If a person is a racist imo they do not deserve my friendship at all. I am not trying to offend you. If you feel ok with people that are racist good for you. I dont. Live and let live.

What's kinda interesting though is that you are in what is supposed to be an "enlightened" or somewhat liberal area. Sorry, I just get tired of all the stereotypes of red-necks in flyover country being the source of all racism.

That's the other real truth of racism, in some ways it's worse in urban areas, it's just *different*.

You are 100% correct about the ongoing stupidity of the "lighter skinned" model of beauty....and again I think it's important to note whom is still pushing it through the media.
With the bolded part I can understand you on that, on the other hand I get tired of blacks being blamed for everything bad that happens in this country..


As far as the media goes who runs it?

As you say, some here never disappoint.

Label me as you will, simple consideration of the source will spare me from any tears.
I will not label you, you made statements and when asked to provide proof of your statements you could not, that means you are either very confused or a Liar I will let the readers here descide which is the correct label. Wear your label with pride, it fits you perfectly

I give you 0/10. I'm not here to pander to your laziness or deliberate obfuscation. I'm sure plenty of people have taken your measure and that of others like you. I'm not worried.

Chew on those facts and stop whining.
Okay, clam down brother/sister... the fact that there is more white poverty in America just screws them all up. They are taught that it is the white man that's holding them down. If we keep this in perspective, it's usually a white dude (professor (tenored)) who is doing the teaching.

WTF IS UP with that?

Why do you start a thread with the intent of squashing alternate views and deflecting reasonable arguements?
THE OP HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

go figure!!

Now I will remind you that if you cannot come up with some good examples I will and others will not label you a racist for not being able to do it, but you may very well end up losing any credibility here along with being labeled as a Liar. We will wit to see how long it takes, 24 hours should be plenty of time. Better get to work

...

So let's see your "evidence" and we can discuss them, or don't and well ...........

Wynternight may be trying to take some sort of higher road, I don't know for sure, but I'm not. Now I don't really care that much either way, but there definitely are people on this forum that have the type of thinking Wynternight is talking about. For you to imply there isn't a single poster on this forum that does is factually wrong. I guess I just don't like to see condescending, sarcastic self-righteousness coming from someone in repeated posts when they are in reality not right. It only took a single search to find them.

There were many examples in the post I linked to a few pages ago. Maybe you missed it - so here it is again.
