sorry, iggy. i tend towards long windedness. don't even know why i try...dave cannot be reasoned with on issues of race.
I was planning to respond, but not tonight. I've already posted a lot.
For tonight, I'll just say 1) I've responded respectfully to your points 2) there are two perspectives, I'm trying to have a civil and less high-testosterone dialogue. And just because you believe something doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong. Your opinion doesn't BEGIN to explain why Obama is regarded as a "nigger" despite that no one has used the word or made any statement that says or implies that without massive subjectivity applied. And why these same "racists" don't have the same racial hatred of Colin Powell, J.C. Watts, Mark Steele, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, and of many black Democrats as well. Gee, y'know, maybe it has to do with Obama being a leftist radical who wants to "radically transform" America, and truly has nothing to do with the fact that he's black. Except as a tool for Democrats to slander those who legitimately criticize Obama's actions and policies.
Sometimes politics is just politics. And "racist" has become a reflexive attack vehicle by the left, that is often used in the absence of real racism. To the division and detriment of the nation.
