I think you’re falling into the trap of the liberal definition of “racist”.

Thats a cop out.
There are gulfs between calling someone a racist because they oppose the ridiculous idea of reparations and calling them racist because they call a black woman a "ho, and a 'monkey*" That's the language of idiotic, bigoted, maniacs.

And did it ever occur to you that maybe a few of the black folks in this country vote Dem because they don't feel welcome in our Party? If I was a Black American looking for a logical alternative to the "weak" party of handouts and oppression and I stumbled on a thread like this I would probably never give Conservatives a second look. Which is sad because Conservative ideals actually appeal to more than the votes suggest. I wonder why? (Psss, here's your chance to stereotype all them lazy, thieving, "gimme my gumint cheese" ho's and pimps.)

And as for the assertion that we lost this election because we didn't play "dirty?" That's just hogwash. I do believe that we should have been more assertive. We should have been "in their faces." But you win by VOTES and you don't gain voters from other parties by speaking like an ignorant fanatic.

I didn’t see anyone call the Obama’s a monkey. I asked what posts were racist. So we’ve descended to where there can be no pop culture referneces, I would never call Michelle a “ho”, but someone did say Jackie Ho. I’ll admit I laughed, it’s not like rappers and many people use the term ho constantly, it’s common and points to a double standard. It doesn’t make the poster racist, it’s not PC, but it’s not racist. Again, it’s not something I would say, I’ll grant you that.

I don’t have a problem with ethnic jokes, etc. which have been washed out of our culture, stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, because there’s some truth to them, and can be funny. Notice that minorities can mock whites and others unscathed, let Andrew Dice Clay do the same and he’s blackballed from comedy.

I won’t submit to the double standard. I saw some jokes that weren’t in great taste, but I saw nothing RACIST, unless we’re using the left wing watered down version of the word.

I asked for the “racist” posts on the thread that you and the other person found so offensive, please point me out to the racist posts and I’ll condemn them along with you.

Now that you've gotten your exercise for the day (jumping to conclusions) lets straighten out some things.

First of all, according to Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and other leaders of the race industry it wasn't possible for the black man to be racist because he wasn't in power. Every time they said something that sounded racist to white people that was their reply.

Well, now the black man is in power, so, by their own rules it is now not possible for whites to be racist. As a white man I can now say anything that I want to about any body and not have to fear being labeled a 'racist'. (Like I gave a crap about that anyway.............)

Second, my use of the word Ho was an attempt at satire. I'm sorry if that was lost on you but, as I said above, like I give a crap.

Third, the Republican party has bent over backwards to lure the black vote by becoming almost as liberal as the Democrats. If that's your idea of conservatism and success for the Republican party then you need to reevaluate.

Fourth, its the blacks that have popularized and mainstreamed words like Ho and Bitch as terms of endearment for their women. Now that it's not possible for me to be a racist I can use these terms with reckless abandon.

Fifth, I don't advocate playing 'dirty'. I advocate playing hard. There's a hugh difference.

And last, I'm tired of walking on eggs in order to protect the delicate sensibilities of ~13% of the US population.
