Oh yea! I forgot about the "those Hymies" remark.

Yes... keeping racism alive is big business to some, and people profit off of it. Had a local talk show host here in Cleveland say the very same thing the other day when the story about Sterling broke.

My reasoning for this thread is to show how racism has no political affiliation. As a person of mixed heritage and a Libertarian who sides with the TEA movement, I take offense that the race card is being used ad nauseam, and the irrational belief that all conservatives are racists.

If a conservative had said anything like the quotes I cited, would they be allowed to stay in office?

All conservatives are not racist. Racism is just far more common in conservative ideology. Progressivism as a whole is about tolerance and equality. Racism has no political party.. because not all Democrats are progressive, and not all Republicans are conservative.


Jessee Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, and all the "race hustlers" may profit off race sensationalizing. HOWEVER, they are not discriminating against white people by doing so. Sharpton picking sides in a racial discussion doesn't prevent whites from enjoying equal rights and opportunities.

Stop this crap please. Ignorant people say ignorant remarks, and ignorant for most of us comes from both ignorant sides of the aisle.

Racist people can be your neighbor can be black or white, rich or poor D OR R does not matter because ignorant knows no boundaries.
