I accept that you earnestly mean this. I want to be clear: throughout this discussion, I have assumed that you feel you are being fair, impartial, and not racist in the slightest. I have no ill thoughts of you as a person.
Then we are all good.

After Obama's acceptance speech promising all this change I think the majority of the country was rallying around him. I thought that speech was amazing. The problem is that the change never came.
Yes, I agree there has been instances in about every presidency where the majority rallied... Bush for a time post 9/11 (possibly), the acceptance speech, Osama (possibly). But can't remember the last time I felt that the president had the nation's support for a prolonged period of time.
Your words are soaked in the privilege of those with lighter skin.
Osama he says.
I have to admit that this made me laugh. I experienced rascism and discrimination first hand. I have been assaulted, beaten, denied service, spit on, insulted, denied membership and other similar things on a continuing on going basis. So I do have a day to day knowledge of how it feels.
Let's get real about racism. Anyone focused on their race like it is the first and foremost thing that matters in life is a racist and spits in the face of MLK jr. and his dream.
People are jumping the gun on a "Romney" vp pick. Romney hasn't gotten the nomination yet.
After Newt's home run last night in the debate things could change in SC, and there is disputes about the Romney win in Iowa.
It's nice to know Gingrich will "continue" to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job. What are the ways he is currently using?
Discontinue welfare. Make them go find a job.
Thank you for interpreting King's dream for us, so that it puts organizaitons like the NAACP outside of it. It's amusing, shallow, and ignorant of how King himself expressed detaisl about how to achieve his dream.
One Brow said:Also, it's really fun to watch you attack the character a large group of people, whose only common charateristic is skin color, by saying they can be bought by "government goodies" and made dependent on them to the degree that they will subject their children to poverty. You're not racist, though, not a bit, right?
Addressing a packed congregation at one of the city’s largest black churches, Senator Barack Obama on Sunday invoked his own absent father to deliver a sharp message to African-American men, saying, “We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception.”
One Brow said:I'm sure there are a few small churches that were exclusive in membership. What makes you think Jeremiah Wright ran one of them? Do you have any testimony from whites turned away at the door?
It is obvious how an organization only seeking the Advancement of Colored people completely missed the point of Kings wish that people make character more important than skin color.
As Santorum said, "It’s very interesting, if you look at a study that was done by the Brookings Institute back in 2009, they determined that if Americans do three things, they can avoid poverty. Three things. Work, graduate from high school, and get married before you have children. Those three things…"
I simply said he was a racist, but I'm certain his famous "white folks’ greed runs a world in need" speech wouldn't exactly be all that appealing to them.
Why get into specifics? Being a victim is not who I am.
Denial does not alter a person having been a victim.
Denial would be be denying it happened. I admitted it so there goes your denial theory but I will not let others dictate my actions or emotions.
Denial also means denying there is an impact on you as a person. For example, when a person dies, their spouse often goes through a short period where they act like life has changed very little, and do not do much grieving. We refer to that period as "denial". It doesn'[t mean they refuse to acknowledge the death happened.
