so some liberal ivory tower racist redefined the word to mean they were no racist random thoughts Send a noteboard - 26/07/2013 01:16:48 PM

One the things that is causing a lot of the white push back on racism these days. Cracker isn't racist but not agreeing that Zimmerman is really a Nazi is.

Holder is going after Texas and the argument that is being used is Texas has used racist redistricting. The problem is minorities tend to be overwhelming democratic so when the democrats controlled the state legislature and gerrymandered to dilute white republican votes to the extent where they continued to control the state legislature long after the state had gone red it was just politics. When the republicans finally took over and flipped thing against democrats it hurt minorities since they more likely to be democrats and the same practice was suddenly racist.

We need to get past the equal ideal of equality.

My interpretation is that he's being incredibly racist...against blacks - 19/07/2013 11:52:37 PM 786 Views
I think you're right - 19/07/2013 11:54:41 PM 736 Views
From the litlle I heard on NPR I had a couple real problems with it - 20/07/2013 12:53:40 AM 755 Views
Would he just shut up about it already? *pukes a little in mouth* *NM* - 20/07/2013 04:20:07 AM 317 Views
Yeah. As someone who voted for Obama and would do so again, this is embarrassing. - 20/07/2013 10:10:53 AM 654 Views
Ditto. Except I didn't vote for him a second time. - 21/07/2013 01:34:54 AM 762 Views
Does it matter now? Martin is still dead and Zimmerman will stay free. It's over. - 20/07/2013 04:24:43 AM 660 Views
It makes a great deal of difference - 20/07/2013 04:40:55 AM 705 Views
C'mon guys. It's sounding very "I'm not a racist, I swear!" in here. - 20/07/2013 03:32:08 PM 842 Views
I can't like your reply enough. *NM* - 20/07/2013 03:42:00 PM 334 Views
"I am not a racist I swear it" is what we are reduced for not agreeing on race - 20/07/2013 04:44:52 PM 702 Views
No. As I'll say to Isaac in a minute, I'll apologize for lumping everyone in - 20/07/2013 08:06:49 PM 693 Views
for me his about what will work not what is fair - 22/07/2013 06:06:13 PM 753 Views
It has to be both. Period. Nobody will accept someone else trying to change them - 22/07/2013 07:29:15 PM 746 Views
sorry I don't see where he says a change in behaviour is part of the solution - 23/07/2013 06:29:16 PM 641 Views
He did not talk about the case - 23/07/2013 07:32:44 PM 658 Views
A touch over the top don't you think? - 20/07/2013 05:20:21 PM 675 Views
One comment, maybe. If anyone has taken offense - 20/07/2013 09:09:45 PM 681 Views
Re: One comment, maybe. If anyone has taken offense - 20/07/2013 11:53:08 PM 712 Views
As mentioned - 21/07/2013 12:18:14 AM 756 Views
Re: As mentioned - 21/07/2013 02:25:30 PM 679 Views
You just EXACTLY quoted the point I was making - 20/07/2013 06:04:25 PM 751 Views
Em... not so sure I did. - 20/07/2013 10:19:54 PM 606 Views
I think he's wrong for continuing to talk about it, and doing so in this manner - 21/07/2013 06:59:11 AM 775 Views
We will also have to agree to disagree. - 21/07/2013 10:25:13 AM 806 Views
There are more important things for him to be focusing on, I think. That said, I think you're right. *NM* - 21/07/2013 08:16:34 AM 331 Views
There will always be something "more important." *NM* - 21/07/2013 10:25:46 AM 301 Views
That's specious reasoning. - 21/07/2013 12:02:17 PM 639 Views
It is if you sidestep my point. - 21/07/2013 05:15:19 PM 607 Views
I am of two minds on the issue. *edit* - 21/07/2013 02:04:48 PM 697 Views
Well, that's good. I feel like I'm working on 3 or 4 at this point. - 21/07/2013 05:41:21 PM 733 Views
I'm one of those annoying people who corrects others with "biracial". - 22/07/2013 08:03:10 PM 761 Views
That's not appropriate. Obama identifies as black. *NM* - 23/07/2013 06:22:06 AM 356 Views
So do lots of white kids. - 23/07/2013 08:50:12 AM 600 Views
It is the truth, though. - 23/07/2013 06:30:53 PM 653 Views
I do not agree. - 23/07/2013 07:06:33 PM 684 Views
I know, and I find that weird. - 23/07/2013 12:57:39 PM 698 Views
This is a complex issue. - 23/07/2013 01:09:00 PM 605 Views
Because he looks black, he's been treated like a black person. - 23/07/2013 06:28:41 PM 603 Views
Yes - 23/07/2013 07:11:54 PM 769 Views
Perusing. - 24/07/2013 04:02:53 AM 681 Views
That makes sense. Generally, though, one should go by whatever the person in question identifies as. *NM* - 24/07/2013 06:13:28 AM 313 Views
I noticed the press wasn't aboard with idea when it came to Zimmerman - 24/07/2013 12:49:00 PM 643 Views
Which is silly, because anyone can be racist. You are right, though. *NM* - 24/07/2013 10:32:55 PM 315 Views
No, only white people can be racist. /sarcasm - 25/07/2013 04:38:13 PM 677 Views
No, not really. - 26/07/2013 07:40:45 AM 593 Views
so some liberal ivory tower racist redefined the word to mean they were no racist - 26/07/2013 01:16:48 PM 668 Views
My reply to Nossy above. - 24/07/2013 02:25:49 PM 635 Views
As always, the voice of reason when I am about to discount the US as fucking mental. *NM* - 21/07/2013 03:17:15 PM 303 Views
That's not very nice. - 21/07/2013 09:03:55 PM 696 Views
No, probably not. - 21/07/2013 10:01:36 PM 662 Views
Its unfortunate you see us the way you do - 22/07/2013 06:05:30 AM 712 Views
So Obama smoked weed, punched school bus drivers, and got arrested for theft? - 21/07/2013 05:10:26 AM 637 Views
No, but he could have. - 21/07/2013 01:08:26 PM 603 Views
