    Back on the plantation is flagrantly provocative. Complaining about the cotton in aspirin is ridiculous,imo. Distinguishing between the two is using good judgment and discretion.

    It only repels those who are uber-sensitive. There are some folks who have hurt feelings over what happened 150 years ago....really? Time to grow up and move on.

    Reality 101 there is no such thing as a conservative democrat. Sorry but you cannot have of both ways. Democrats seceded to keep and expand slavery and when they lost they enacted segregation.....sad.

    Careful, Ronstar. Defending visible minorities is now deemed "race baiting".

    It's not about hurt feelings. It's about inane statements and poor taste.

    Actually the precise technical tone in this O.P. example would be Race-Agitating. Not that it's a big deal. Way too many leftists practice Race Hustling, Baiting, and Agitating as a matter of course and so the precise term for the precise offense is rather irrelevant.

    +1 for not mentioning Obama, Sharpton or Jackson.

    I don't care what you call it. I proudly defend any minority, especially when I see the effects of the low social and economic power that comes from their minority group membership. If racists need to attack me for this, bring it on and make it snappy.

    Then I suggest not voting or supporting politiicians that use those terms you find so offensive.

    I know this is about political opinions, but it does seem strange to me to just give an opinion, without any rationale behind it. I could give my opinion of Obama, and sans any reasons why I think he is the worst POTUS ever, it would just be...

    an opinion.

    Why would I bother? Personally, I wouldn't.

    I'll stop saying racist terms when they stop using race as an excuse. Besides, if it's not a racial insult, it would be an insult of another kind, like an insult on sexual orientation.

    No, I don't think there were yet 300 million people living in a country back then.

    You know there's only room for 160 million people in America.

    In my live time I have watched the population of America double and will see the state of California population quadruple.

    There's no water shortage in California, there enough water for 18 million Californians.

    But there is a water shortage for agriculture, and California plays a major role in U.S. agriculture.

    When you manage to do less damage to African American families than the damn KKK, we'll stop complaining about you treating them like slaves. And it was Democrats established Jim Crow.

    The point is, racism was popular across the board.

    Well when Jim Crow was written they were progressives in good standing right along with the damnable Margaret Sanger Smith and the rest of the Eugenics crowd. In fact they were less progressive than the more radical eugenicists who thought African Americans and other undesirables should be eradicated from the earth by forced sterilization if nothing else. The hands of the progressive are elbow deep in African American blood and it isn't much better now than it was then.

    There wouldn't be a water shortage for California agriculture if we as a nation would have controlled our population.

    California threatens it's people with big fines if they don't smell and take a 3 minute shower but they still have the welcome mat at the Mexican border saying welcome to California where the stupid tax payers will take care of you. We have sanctuary cities, we will educate (babysit) your children, provide free healthcare, food stamps, subsidizing housing, public transportation and even a high speed train that go no where and even jail cells if some bad cop decides to enforce the law.

    Lose the ridiculous rhetoric and you might have an easier time winning Presidential elections.
