There is good news, however. We now know who the idiots are. We can immediately discount their opinions as the rantings of disgruntled racists. There is something to be said for litmus tests.

This said by the person who believes Bill Clinton over Juanita Broaddrick.
Don't be so quick to jump ship and join DU. What you are perceiving as racism is simply a lot of white people fed up with the abhorrent double standard. No one here loves Hitler or wants to join the Aryan Nation. No one.
What is apparent is that there are many of us completely fed up with the toleration of blatant racism coming from some blacks, vs the instant condemnation of racism coming from some whites. Neither is right and both must be soundly condemned.
Yes, it's true that we should immediately condemn the white racist community such as the message coming from these girls (and their parents). I condemn it, we all condemn it. Don't label us as racists or idiots if we dare to point out the elephant in the room.
Now this comment is completely unrelated to the Hitlerian racism coming from the twins. Understand? Unrelated. Let's take for example Time Magazine's 'smartest rapper in the world' Kanye West. His brilliance includes his latest song 'Gold Digger' whose lyrics include and rhyme with you-know-what and promotes the drug-cognac-bling-rap lifestyle. Let's examine Professor Kamau Kambon who wants to exterminate the white people. Let's listen if we can stand it to any speaker at the recent Millions More March.
Now again, these are unrelated to the bigotry being expressed by the twins. Unrelated. But yet, they all get a pass. They get awards and contracts. They get accolades and applause. And I for one don't like it, I don't like it one bit.
So you see, my problem (and I'm sure I speak for others here) is not with the obviously hateful message being sent by these 2 girls, but with the pervasive message being broadcast from so many in the black community. And no, I don't lump all black people together any more than I would for whites. This is all ignorant and bad. All of it.
Don't judge anyone who dares to discuss the issues of race as a racist or an idiot. This board is meant to be able to discuss the difficult things. We're neither racists nor ignorant, we want to end all that BS from both sides. If you want to label people unfairly, discount what they have to say and ignore their input, FR is not the place for you. We're here to talk about the tough things, like them or not. I'm ready to listen to your opinions.
