Yep... he’s a marxist, islamo-facist loving air head. I am being FAR too kind.

I kind of think, like after some sports contests, if Obama is elected, if they will burn down their cities and if he is not electd, they will burn down their cities.

Lynching has an undeniable racial connotation in our country.

Not in my world.

If you want to do that sort of thing, black shoe polish should be banned, as well as the color black, since the word translates as "negro".

Frankly, I am very tired of this crappola.

I heard a black actress say yesterday in a “Black History Month” mini-interview that so-and-so was the first “Bl .. African-American” to do such-and-such.

I thought it was kind of funny that she didn’t think “black” was the right term to use, so switched mid-thought to “African-American” - and this was a spot for “Black History Month.”

How is anyone supposed to know the “speech rules” when they keep changing?

Everybody needs to check the definition of racist out before using the damn word! Racism is the belief that your race is better than others. Example, the Nazis during WW2. Using the words, "lynching party" is at most -- obnoxious. I seriously doubt Bill has it in for black folks -- so it would have fallen under brain fart...

The second comment I would make is lynching was NOT exclusively used for blacks. Jewish people, Irish people and even Italians were lynched for spurious reasons too...

In short, don't use the word "lynch" at all -- nothing good can come from it.

Well, sort of! Spoken Ebonics is unintelligible to me, but the Urban Dictionary manages to put some of this stuff in writing that can be read and somewhat comprehended, lol.

To me it is simple.

I just don't see people as colors or nationalities. I judge them on their acts and words, as I should. I then decide whether I want a association or not.

I suppose that if everyone did the same, all these problems would not be possible.

Nobody will ever be allowed to lay a guilt trip on me and I resent the attempts to do so. When that stops, the racial divides will also stop.

The first place to start is to stop naming a month for any race color or creed. The very act is racial on it's face no matter what the intent is.

All this must end before racism is history.

That’s what “blacks” want whites to do? “I say never apologize to these race pimps?”

What do you mean by “blacks”? I guarantee you most blacks could give a crap about what Bill O’Reilly said or what Star Jones said about what Bill O’Reilly said. Star Jones deserves discredit here, not “blacks”, who are not some monolithic group identical to another called “race pimps”.

No one should be able to tell us what words we can use in conversation. The first amendment guarantees free speech, and that’s exactly what it means.

It WORKS. Especially with black women. You should see the shock on their faces. Another good one is to laugh right in their faces. They completely melt down.

OHMYGOD, that big, fat, poorly dressed Bahama Mama compared to Jackie, who just rolled over in her grave. She was a fashion model compared to Bahama Mama Michelle.

Okay MOST blacks want whites to do the apology bit. Star is trying to stir up blacks. I have experienced it, like we should be “guilty” for slavery. I tell them to can the race-baiting, and I don’t care.

“Star is Dumb, but here replacement on view is Dumber. (She didn’t know if the world was round - honest)”

That’s because every time she tried to look at it her torso blocked the view. She thought it was flat because everything that’s even been under her feet ended up that way.(childish enough for ya??? LOL)

I have never seen more neurosis on parade than this obsession with racism.

As for my fellow whites.

Grow a pair and stand up for once.

Whites have allowed themsleves to be browbeaten into total submission by folks who simply by and large don’t merit such deference.

This utter spinelessness is what will kill America.

Anyone here think American whites can completely lose their cultural identity and the nation survive as it is has to be delusional.

It goes without saying that PC Freepers who troll threads looking to wag the race bait finger know where I stand.
