Host Chris Rock takes Hollywood to task over diversity

Miles away, racial tensions erupt at Klan rally in Anaheim

Both show racism is a sore subject that must be addressed

Sick of hearing about the Oscars. If there had been an Oscar worthy performance by a black I feel sure he’d have won. They want affirmative action trophies now? Blacks are the only ones up in the air about race. Well, them and the Dimocrats, but we know why that is.

Well we might be if a certain Kenyan Muslim Marxist had not spent the past seven and a half years stirring the pot every chance he got.

The media is the enemy and main problem in the USA

Amen to that! We have a free press, but not a fair press.

What a load of B.S.resident Obama has done everything in his power to prove we are far from being a post racial society.

We have had plenty of experience with him throwing race in our face over the last 8 years..

Thanks to 0bama's in your face Executive Orders and off the cuff remarks there is more division in the USA today than when he took office.

That does not cause a problem for me unless you try to shove some of his liberal sick ideas in my face. Don't worry about the dog, beware the owner.

[Jonty30]

Only because the subject keeps being brought up.

The rise is racism is due to Obama. He was the one, following the Alinsky playbook, who stirred up racial resentments, targeted one group as evil (middle class and lower middle class whites, even though he never said so directly) and made them the butt of hatred and ridicule, and presented himself as a racial messiah to blacks.

This whole Trump thing is basically a reaction against Obama. I don’t think it’s the right reaction, and I think it’s really counter productive to emulate the bad policies of Obama but this time on your side and I particularly think it’s a bad and dangerous idea to follow a self-proclaimed messiah (and he only hints at the racial part, such as with his refusal to immediately condemn the KKK this weekend, but that’s enough).

However, this is all to be laid at the feet of Obama, who has been the most divisive and destructive force this country has ever known since the Civil War.

The story was ginned up by the Anti-Defamation League, so if you're gonna assign blame for this attack start there.

There are too many community organizers garnering money, prestige, power, influence for the U.S. to ever be post-racial. And, more races are being imported to keep it going into perpetuity.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Does the KKK even have enough members to swing an election anywhere? I personally doubt it. This is more like the “dead cat” day.

When the news is slow you throw a dead cat in front of a politician and report his reaction.

Now days you throw the KKK slur in front of a politician and report his reaction.

and when Obama’s Muslims take over the Old Movie Bonfire will be Glorious

If I were running .............

David Duke has a right to vote and I welcome voters who agree with me. He was a member of the Klan. I don’t support the Klan agenda, but apparently Mr. Duke supports mine and that’s what will move the country forward. I don’t disavow any one who votes for me as long as they understand I will implement my agenda and not theirs.
