Stalin and Hitler used the exact same tactic. Do some research.

Children turning in parents? Where did you get that harebrained idea?

Children of today can hardly complain or compare themselves to those in the 1950's.....these kids are not a product of the 50's they happen to be given more than most. If racism is going on it's on the people as an individual and we don't need to go around nagging at everything "Uncle Buck" says!

Funny, how certain people think certain people sit and talk about them all day. What kind of thinking is this?

Kind of strange Pelosi and Geithner are having the same kind of discussions......the strangest coincidence or what!

Pelosi compares illegal immigration to the Irish.....on what planet would you say she came from?

I do this sometimes with the various people I know but I must admit that if it is funny I'll laugh.

No one was attempting to compare to the 1950's or say they should nag at every single thing. What was said is that we have made great strides regarding equality, have come a long way, but we aren't there. And that there are things people in the younger generation (such as those who are graduating high school), can do to help us get all the way there.

There is nothing even remotely controversial with her remarks.

This only makes matter worse, not better in the least.

Had an agenda by gosh, and sticking to it.
No they arent, thats like that stupid montra that if you are against gay marriage then you are secretly gay. Its stupid basis for an argument from both sides.

To the actually discussion. The whole backwards racism crap is getting tiring. Claiming that someone who speaks up against racism is the problem is just more proof that this nation hasnt moved as far as we wish it has.

If you dont want to talk about racism, then dont start, click on, or read forums about it. But stop trying to call others race baiters or racist for not having the same cowardice as you.
