I saw that earlier too.
Pretty (*)(*)(*)(*)ing ridiculous if you ask me.
Did you happen to be online early, early this morning, by any chance? Like, between 3 and 6?
There's a poster, apparently well known, he posted 4, count 'em 4 posts that were pretty overtly racist.
I read his stuff pretty regular like, cause it's important for me to know and see that this level of bigotry, ignorance and hatred is sadly still alive and well.

I hate to see this crap and has no place in America.

i agree...America has no place for these dumbasses...

Of course it's going to happen.

America's economy was once based on the efficiency of slavery, you know.
People still take pride in that.
Though pathetic, this superior mentality is still preached, subtly or not.

Yeah, it sucks.
The best we can do is try to set an example that these antics will not be tolerated.

I know the racism is an extra component that makes this a bigger deal but nobody should be held in effige in the US outside of maybe Osama, this includes Obama and some of the anti-war signs of Bush.

Racism is always an ugly thing. We all need to unite against it. I'm against Obama, but not becuase he's black. In fact, I think a black President could be a great thing for this country, but not THIS black President.

In anycase, racism flows both ways but very often it's only recognized when blacks are the victims. The media has talked about how racism may effect people voting for Obama but they fail to acknowledge that racism will be a big part of why many people WILL vote for Obama. Obama is getting about 98% of the black vote.

Voting for Obama becuase he is black is just as bad as not voting for Obama becuase he is black.

argh

Well, I'm votin' for Obama because he's clearly the best candidate.

However I do know folks in real life who say they just couldn't vote for Obama because, uh, well, uh, he's....black.
Yes, there are people like that. asad20.gif

Your point? So it's so evil that some whites might not vote for Obama becuase he is black but it is perfectly ok for 98% of blacks to support Obama, many of which have no idea who he is or what he stands for but will be voting for him based on his skin color?
