Any racism I have seen lately is black on white.

What is wrong with these people?

Probably better than the gay-rights campaign they’ll be doing when this gets old.

The need to aim their ads at the White House. The racism coming out of that dump is disgraceful. Americans have had enough of their commie “divide and conquer” bull****.

I have I traveled back in time. You would think it’s 1960. Never has there been so much talk of racism. Total lunacy.

How about a little diversity???

Hey, we should have proportional representatives of females, whites, hispanics..in the NFL!

And what is this height discrimination about in the NBA??

No women in the major leagues???????That’s seperate, but equal.

It seems they are wanting Whitey to show up at the polls next year in droves.

Which of the lily-white geezers on the (D) ticket are we supposed to elect to keep from being called racists?

They already do. Obama has unintentionally opened many eyes. It has been one of his few worthwhile accomplishments, though he would deny responsibility.

Largely, the racism of the Democrat party in the 60s is gone....the Democrats’ use of dogs and hoses has been beaten back by intelligent and compassionate conservatives. Just like back in the 19th century, the Democrat party’s rabid support of slavery and treating human beings as chattel was stopped by the Republican party—back when the Republican party stood for something.

The Democrat party replaced their 19th century mentality with forced segregation...and when that was made socially unacceptable, the Democrats went with the “soft” bigotry of government dependence and professional victimization.

Stephen Ross gonna take on that?

I bet not.

And the libs keep propagating the myth that racism from Evil Whitey is holding back minorities. Who actually believes that anymore? I have to believe even many hardcore libs are thoroughly exasperated with these stupid programs.

Perhaps he could concentrate more on fielding a team that can win football games instead.
