Next you guys will be saying someone who answers the question "what color is the newly paved road" a racist when they answer "black"

Some of you people REALLY need to look up the definition of racism
Rush is encouraging racist fears that having a black president emboldens blacks to attack whites. Simple as that. It's a variation of the Willie Horton tactic.

I can't believe that people are still trying to pass off this bus incident as a racial incident when, upon investigation, it was found to have nothing to do with race:

"A student on a Belleville West High School bus was beaten for his choice of seat, not because he was white, according to a witness and police.

'The incident appears now to be more about a couple of bullies on a bus dictating where people sit,' said Belleville Police Capt. Don Sax, who originally said Monday's attack may have been racially motivated."
Dispute over seat sparked attack on school bus, student says - STLtoday.com (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/illinoisnews/story/60D37B6EC5FF4711862576320011605B?OpenDocument - broken link)

And if you want to dispute what the Police Captain said, try some actual evidence to the contrary instead of your gut feeling. Have the parents of the the child that was attacked come out and stated that this incident was racially motivated? Has their lawyer? Have their been other racial incidents involving children at the school they attend?

Perhaps some of you need to think long and hard about why you want this incident to be racially-motivated, when, based upon the conclusions of those who actually conducted the investigation, it is not.

Limbaugh is not racist, not matter how many silly, edited, looped videos or out of context examples you people come up with.

I guess you didn't notice that according to your post, then it WOULD be correct for liberals to call a racist a racist. After all, it's genetic, right? So, there you have it. I find it weird that anyone would listen to any type of commentator. Why even bother wasting time idolizing someone who's only lot in life is to spread lies & hate? It's not like they actually know anything, they're not scientists, economists, politicians, etc., they're just people who decided instead of doing something intellectual or positive for society, they instead use their gift of BS to yap ignorance. Weird that people would value that.

You're referring to that Newsweek story, that said 6 month old white kids were racists, because they cried when they saw a a person looking at them with a dark completion? I have news for Newsweek, if the father does not have a beard, they are afraid of men with beards too. But they did not factor in that with their desire to find racism behind every bush, did they?

That's rich.

It would appear that you have missed the point.

My comment was not directed at this thread. This flagrant baseless racist labeling that is mostly coming from the far left leadership is only causing racial tensions where none previously existed. They are doing this because they are losing their arguments and can no longer legitimately blame someone else.

The result can not be good but it would seem they don't care as long as they get what they want, they don't appear to care what they leave in their path.

I'm referring to someone else's post about that article. I haven't read it.

So why on the thread where the white man who attacked a black army officer you are saying this:

So in spite of your own words in the quote above, you are dismissing the words of the police captain in the case of the bus incident and instead insisting that the incident was due to race, when the police captain clearly stated that race didn't have anything to do with it?

Do you have some investment in the bus incident being racially motivated and the incident with the army officer not being racially motivated?

This comment is so ignorant. The only "evidence" of it being racially motivated would be someone actually admitting that they either punched the kid because he was white, or egged on other kids because the kid was white. Possibly if they were in some anti-white gang, that would be enough to be considered justifiable circumstance. But other then that, they are working with personal admittance.

Who the hell with half a brain cell is going to admit that?

So the cops interview the black students involved in the incident, and, surprise, they dont get a one of them to say that race had anything to do with it. Gee, who could have predicted that outcome. You either have to be a brazen idiot, or so proud of your racism that you dont care about the additional penalties hate crimes carry to actually admit to race having motivation in an action.
