Why would you confuse me with a conservative right-wing hero??
Besides being confused in general and a terrible conversationalist who detracts from the board because you specialize in trolling rather than substantive posts, you are using the same tactics that the Left has made an anathema. Thus, I'm simply pointing out your hypocrisy. Is that clear enough?

Being called a hypocrite by a right-wing spinster is like being called ugly by a frog, but the dept of disconnect in your post is neither surprising nor that interesting.
I had the worse experience meeting Nichelle Nichols yesterday (actor who played Lt. Uhara). I politely went up to her with my press badge and started a short conversation asking her about her time on Star Trek and she cut me short and said please buy an autograph or get out of line. I was appalled. The two people in line ahead both bought autographs and were both considered minorities. But since they bought autographs I can't guess if she treated me poorly because I didn't buy an autograph or because I'm a white male. I didn't bother waiting until no one was in line or scheduling a meeting time because of how she acted.
I've met other Star Trek actors and haven't met this type of attitude before.
Looking deeper, I found out Nichelle had quite the political agenda at the convention. Supporting and introducing the first African-American female in space Ms. Jemison and Ms. Jemison responded back saying she thought U'Hara was should have been captain and I think she was inferring she wasn't because she is a female and color. I honesly don't think Gene Roddenbury was the kind to discriminate. He is far more anti-religious and progressive than myself. I nearly fell out of my chair reading this.
Avery Brooks made statements like he wanted to be the star on Star Trek so "Black children would watch". I am like okay so just because some one is of the race means you are more likely to watch them on tv or in another way of looking just because they are also Black you are more likely to vote for them? I think more people are likely to watch if they are a great actor, regardless of color.
Then I found out she supported President Obama's run. I like some democrats. I wanted Sanders and I like Gore. I'll feel you shouldn't just vote some one in office because it's for racial equality. There are so many shows now with different genders and race. Why do we need to keep treating people poorly? It's been a couple years now since we had a huge incidents of cops only shooting African-Americans.
In sociology, this is called the "victim mentality". You keep thinking you have been oppressed and still are oppressed even when reprimations have been made. It's like African-Americans are treating every Caucasian like they are slave owners.
I vote as an independent because I feel the Democrat party is so concerned about political correctness than social issues like gun control, help protect the environment, and poverty. I felt like Hilary wasn't eevn using the "vote for first female" in her campaign, all though I knew ton of people who wanted to vote for her just because she was a female.
Thanks,

Very true.
I think black people ought to invent something and then popularize it to the point that it attracts a global audience....so that they can take true cultural or ethnic pride in something of their own instead of riding the coattails of white Europeans. (besides hip-hop....which is their own...it just sucks and is "low culture")
You probably don't realize how ironic this makes your post.
Big difference between playing the victim and expecting common courtesy. I could see if she was being mobbed, but I highly doubt the lines were out the building desperate for her ag.
There are a ton of assumptions by the OP, but we would've had to have been there to know for sure.
I'm tired of the nonstop racial divisions as well... and I'm a walking melting pot, a pure American mutt.

You mean like stop lights, security cameras, Lasic surgery... you mean like that? Maybe some day those boys can become famous brain surgeons too.
Gawd some people, DOH!

Do you need some help carrying those baskets you place everyone in?

You mean like jazz, gospel, the blues, rock, house, techno...you know, every American musical genre that the rest of the world cares about?
