You can't raise the way "minorities" rally around their race without being called a racist. One just has to read any of Z's posts - or even ER's to realize race is one of their first and last forms of identification and by which they see the world.

I was raised color-blind in uber-liberal CA. When I read a post like Buck's or all these other guilt-ridden whites, I wonder just how racist and discriminatory they have been throughout their lives - because I already was raised in a color-blind neighborhood over three decades ago. Vote for a black President because of some guilt or to break some racial glass ceiling is swell and fine for those who have some reason to FEEL guilty. For the rest its SHEER stupidity. It's reverse discrimination based on race - it's exactly what an intelligent person avoids doing!

And please! For many, none of this is even about race. No one gave diddly squat about Colin Powell or Condi Rice when they achieved the highest positions in the land. No one celebrated - only defamed them. Suddenly Colin was a brother again when he endorsed Obama, before that he was Bush's sleazy liar at the UN.

The black, brown, white "communities" both aren't worth squat because they ARE racist, and are hate-mongers. If you don't follow the herd you are persona non-grata. The treatment of Condi has been shameful.

And we have folks here who spew hate and then claim enlightenment because they are happy black Obama has been elected. Lying hypocrites each last one!

If it weren't so full of pathos it would be hysterically funny. As it is - it's sick.

When folks act stupid - I'll point it out. I discriminate against stupidity and ignorance regardless of the color the brain is housed in.

If you let race guide you like the rest of these racist hypocrites here do...you will be lost along with them.

Rise above it Lee. Don't let them goad you into the spot they want you to be in. The real racists and those who acknowledge only "correct thinking" want you to join them by playing their game. Don't play it.
