[quote] If you are including those of us on this thread as being too quick in slapping the label of racism then I disagree with your delusion.[/quote] I'm not viewing it as a "left" thing. You get your share of its use on both sides. I would venture to say that it is more so a...personality or maturity (intelligence? How hard is it to analyze something and determine whether it was out right racism or not) thing. ~AJ</

[quote]Did anyone make the claim that West is a racist?[/quote] There are of course, many opinions that claim that going around on the internet from what I've heard and read. Likewise, there was an assertion on this thread (by you AD) that said that you felt that there could possibilty be a hint of racism with the Kanye West deal. Now, mind addressing the point of m

Note: I've gone back and read, and re-read what I wrote and have edited in hopes that what I'm intending to say/imply is coming across clear(er). *** Been thinking about this over since late Monday when I got sick, so if I sound a bit disorganized, just speak up and ask me to clarify. I’ll make every attempt. Boy 1 shouts "You're wrong!" as Boy 3 (class president is speaking). Boy 2 shouts something as girl 1 (other race) accepts award.

[quote]Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for constantly bringing up racism as the motivation of every Conservative and Republican. I am outraged, I feel insulted, I am ashamed of them. I deserve an apology from the Democrats for calling me a Racist every chance they get with nothing but speculation as proof. No, I demand an apology. You serve us, not the other way around.[/quote] I agree; though I would go further that it is utter bullshit when anyone plays the ra

[quote]I'm not gunning for you by any means AJ. So why do I mention it at all? Probably because I'm interested why one would argue points (on a wide range of articles) that went against their claimed political leanings. If it were a one (or couple) off thing, it wouldn't be of much interest. But, it seems to be a pattern over time. I have no problem with a person having their convictions, be it liberal or conservative. In fact I admire those that stick to their guns if they truly b

Just wanted AJ to know how he appears to my eyes on your thread and others, for when he asks for proof, but I'm sure you're aware.[/quote] The reason I often defend them is because they're fallaciously lumped together by morons. Seriously though, Leauki, and many others on this site tend to just put them all in the same pile - which makes them easier to dismiss. I mean hell, why would anyone want to address the

If people like it that way, then what right do we or anyone have to change that?

They were---and are--watching, and possibly trying to demonize, conservatives.[/quote] Agreed, though I'm curious - do you feel that the desire to protect ourselves from any and all terrorists or

Mmm, that's the thing - I don't consider myself a liberal largely because I don't associate myself with the current liberal party (democrats). I feel they've gone away from what liberalism, in it's purest form, means. I'm actually writing something on that topic, currently, it might help explain it.
