When conservatives party in black face and KKK sheets, there's no defending them in the court of public opinion.

It's the dual standards that tick me off. Our ex Governor (Carnahan D-MO) performed blackface skits, Robert "sheets" Byrd (also D) was an actual member of the KKK......Where's the outrage??? (Just a rhetorical question, I already know the answer)

What did the Republican party gain by sacrificing Trent Lott to Dimocrat outrage over his remarks about Strom Thurmond?

Did the party gain a single black for caving and replacing Lott with the wimpy Frist? As weak as Lott was (conspiring with the Dumocrats to find Clinton "not guilty"), he was better than Medicare Frist.

It just shows that you gain nothing by attempting to appease and be nice to the Dims. That's why I believe the College Republicans at Penn State should retract their apology and go on the offensive!

To Vicky Cangelosi if you are reading this, please reconsider resigning your USG position and come back next semester. Please don't let these meanspirited hate filled left wing hypocrites force you out of Penn State. We need more people like you here.

Where's the outrage???

Rhetorical nature of the question aside, the outrage is in you, and in me. I am as equally outraged by black-on-white racism or insensitivity, as I am at its opposite, or any other kind of manifested racial prejudice.

A lot of folks 'round here seem to be offended only by one variety. Consistency of outrage across racial lines gives me a lot more peace of mind, and peace in my relations with a diverse American populace.

At the end of the day, people will always reveal whether they feel love and respect, or hatred and disdain, for other people.
