You're standing on your head, that's why everything is completely backward for you. Good luck....

The writing was on the wall for everyone to see Obama's penchant for using color: People and especially the media (now proven) concsiously choose to ignore it.

R.A.C.E.= Rally Against Caucasions Everywhere

Birds of a feather flock together. Old sayings have basis in reality. Look at the other continents. Asians in one place, Whites in another, Indians in another, Blacks in another. America has been a grand experiment, but has it not been hubris to think we could be better or different from every other place on the planet? Sometimes the truth hurts and the truth here is most people prefer to be with people that look like themselves. Why is that so wrong and who said it was wrong to start with?? We are animals after all and instincts run deep.

One powerful instinct is that I/we as one of those subgroups am/are not responsible for the welfare of one of the other subgroups.

This is the reality of the split in America. Blacks and Hispanics are OK with the split. They are proud of their races and that's fine. So should we be. It's time we all acknowledged this division exists and will always exist and deal with it on its terms.

Race is merely a distraction from the hugely unpopular left-wing program of Obama and the Democrats. They've swung hard left, and the majority of voters are opposed on every single issue.

Economic stimulus, cap and trade energy taxes, health care and cost control, financial reform, illegal aliens (suing Arizona), tax increases including a VAT tax, the annual deficit and the national debt - the majority is opposed on every issue. Democrats have got to change the subject, so "racism" becomes the issue.

TJS is right. Racism really is gone. People still like to live separately but the hate and viciousness and distrust is mostly gone except for the nut cases. People do fear its return and this is what makes the left wingers use of that so insidious. The republicans must turn this around and get the American people to force the left and the media to let it go.

Marcus is right on the money. We are people who like being with others like us. Whether its those of the same race, religion, economic status, sports relationships, food, wine, or whatever. We associate with those whom we like and with whom we have interests in common. Nothing wrong with that. Minorities do the same and maybe with greater fervor. I do not regret that.

All we expect is that no one group gets favoritism from government. That is what is wrong with liberals and their approach to life. They want government to change how people live, eat, behave, enjoy life, spend their money etc. They want to take money from those who have it and give it to those they would like to see better off. Its usually along some divisive line like race or religion or national origin as the basis of the redistribution. That is just wrong then, now and always. If you want to give, give your own money not mine and do not confiscate what I worked for so you can feel better about your life.

Hey Rafael - wouldn't everything be upside down for him if he was standing on his head?

Anyone who cries "racism" is just using it as a crutch to make up for their character deficiencies.

I was taught by my father a very simple yet profoundly important lesson at a very young age. The subject of racism was first introduced to me while watching "To Kill a Mockingbird" with my father as a boy. He spoke of the core evil of racism and the subject was never raised again. "judging people by the way they look is stupid and only stupid people are racists. You are not stupid, my son." His life was a lecture to the idea that racism is stupid. I tell you it is the only lesson that will end racism!

The tribalism in any race or city is human nature..Big Deal just don't use it to get in the way of my career.

The Socialists are just using all this race nonsense to hide their real agenda take power away from all people and races and if you are a middle class guy or gal turn you into a medieval peaseant under a Socialist King with their Barons etc this is so boring yet I know their is a movie or novel in all this to write...for Hollywood oh but it would have to be a Socialist adventure!

I believe racism still exists, it's just hidden. I do believe some people fall behind the color of their skin to cover up their faults. I was recently laid off and had to move to another state to find work, why is this not an issue? We need to focus on getting America back together instead of racial issues.

Tammy, I sympathize with your distress at losing a job but would remind you that only in America can you go freely to areas where your skills are needed. In most of the world your movement across borders would be restricted. In the EU for example Polish plumbers are not allowed to ply their trade freely in most other EU countries because they are seen as unfairly competing with guild and union members. The fact that those union members have overpriced their services and limited the numbers on union members is seen as a good thing rather than the restraint of honest trade that it is.

Be thankful that you live in what is still, if only temporarily, the freest nation in the world.

I like Jesse Jackson because I like a good laugh now and then. As they say, things said in jest... and even serious things said by a jester can contain, well, a kernel of... The LeBron James issue is really a key to understand how race and Marxism go together. If LeBron James is a multimillion dollar slave because people are bidding for his services, what isn't slavery? The Left's "Wage slavery" means that someone else should do the work for you, should pick up produce from the farmer who should also work for free. The wholesaler, the infamous middleman who arranges much of this, should also work free and his children starve. There appears to be a slavery gene in man. But the employer-employee relationship, the free market of contracts freely entered into is obviously the antithesis of slavery unless someone's brains and guts can be taxed and given to those who are gutless and brainless.
