I have no ignorance or hate. My reference to token minorities was aimed at how republicans use them. You see many minorities at democrat conventions. You don't see them at republican conventions.
The only thing stronger than your hate and ignorance is the irony of your statements.
If you truly judge a political party or it's members based on how many minorities they have at their conventions you're worse than I originally thought.

We do agree on that....but you do claim we liberals are brain washed alot which kinda destroys the whole "i want unity" vibe.

It would appear that you are the agent keeping us apart.
Why?
The division is on you. It is you who says you want unity, yet call others brain washed. You may truly want unity, i dont know, but you will never get to that point while downgrading others with that rhetoric.
You could stop that divide by simply not saying people who think differently than you are brainwashed. It shouldnt be that hard.

Sort of like you saying that Republicans are racist?

My comments do not call all republicans racist, i clearly stated that it is a small minority, your own party says these people exist.
im also not calling these people racist just because they disagree with my ideology. Which is exactly the opposite of what harrier is doing(simply calling people brain washed for being liberal)

I'm not a Republican so I have no "party". I do appreciate your honesty in saying that it's a small minority, at least you're being logical unlike Natalie.
plenty of Democrats AND Republicans have called out your side for racism, the head of your parties Hispanic outreach in Florida left and called your side racist while walking out the door.
calling someone a "race baiter" and saying they are using a "race card" is a defense mechanism, and its ok. We know you are all not racist and you dont want to take it on the chin for what someone else has done, but those phrases are made with the intent of shutting down a conversation and to claim that the person making a claim about race is only doing so because they have no other option.
Does it not cross your mind that people can legitimately believe something is racist while you dont ? Do you honestly think that there is no such thing as a difference of opinion, but that the other person is always simply lying ?
Your post begs the question, do you honestly believe people cannot have differences of opinion that are NOT racially motivated?
It is thinking like yours that keeps racism alive. I am a white female that has nothing but respect for MLK Jr.s words and ideas. He was a great man. However, I think his message was completely twisted over the years and made into something it was never meant to be.
No one of any race has a right to anything without working for it.
People all too often cry racism as an excuse for just about anything. It does nothing but fuel fires and is now looked at as the boy who cried wolf. This is a shame for everyone including those that truly are racially discriminated against.
The PC culture has also contributed to this and has made everyone so overly sensitive that they cannot move without looking for something wrong.
Never stop being amazed at the profound ignoranance bordering on the criminal, the unethical intent mitigated by stupidity that is demonstrated by some elected legislative represntatives.
It really reflects the same characteristics of the gerrymandered districts constructed to continually elect people whose third grade proclamations defy both reality and imagination.
and the misinformed, ignorant groupies eat this stuff up.... a window into the world democrats have created through decades of false compassion, social justice and activism in exchange for votes.

"When you look at African American males, 40% of them are unemployed, those under 30 years of age.

Frederica Wilson (D-FL) told MSNBC.
"And all of the growth in the past 30 years, we see it slipping away. From home ownership, the middle class; it's slipping away from our hands. And it has a lot to do with many issues. Racism....."
