Exactly man. And thats the worst part about it, its such a massive complex of control from so many angles both conservative and liberal, (not nearly as much as the conservative side but still the influence is there), that its this ever-evolving beast that no one can fight so all you really can do is try to continually expose these fucks.

LMAO.....here's what should happen to Mr. Preacher man everyday until he's no longer breathing!!!!!!
LET HIM TELL THIS STORY RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENS FOR THE REST OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE!
Don't do what the Police say, "get fucked up".....it's quite simple. He's lucky he's white...had that been me the only video footage would have been of me up under a white sheet with one of my big toes tagged.....

racism is only really as painful as you let it be. it's important to realize the people who perpetrate racism are a "waste of skin", and moreover a waste of your time.
ps. the bible doesn't mandate the execution of homosexuals........
ps. the bible doesn't mandate the execution of homosexuals........
Tell that to all the people who have killed as a result of racism over the years, who have been wrongly jailed, beaten, etc.
If racism stayed at the feelings level what you say would be true. Unfortunately people act on those feelings.
Word...
Tell that to the families of those lynched by mobs of racists.....Or the black guy who can't support his family because is shunned away from a job because of his skin color and not because he's unqualified...
Painful as you let it be? That's probably because it hasn't affected your life as much as others

Alright, but I know for a matter of fact none of you guys have been lynched, nor, likely have any of your immediate family members.
I was referring mostly to verbal racism.
I'm just trying to get across is that things are only as serious as you take them. No, that idea does not apply to being killed because of your race. So maybe you didn't get the job because of the color of your skin, it's not like that's the only job available in the world! Things will only affect you in the ways that you let them.
People are always going to be racist, there's nothing you can do about it and there's nothing you can do to change these people. A war against racism is like a war on drugs, you can try, but you will never completely eliminate the problem. So the healthiest thing you can do is just let the shit roll off your back.
Racists are worthless and the words they speak are meaningless.
And yes, white people are discriminated against in some parts of the world... Don't assume that I've never been the target of racism or never had racism directly or indirectly affect my life.

I humbly diagree man.....Time is the only true test, and I believe in time we really will begin to see improvements. Look at how far weve come thus far. Thats not to say shit isnt fucked up right now cuz it clearly is, but with time comes progress IMO.
But to say things will only effect you in the ways that you let them is a bit convoluted considering many instanced occur without any control on your part....and if one of those instances happens to be highly racist thats entirely on the accusing party, its not like you cant brush it off your shoulder but that doesnt change the fact that motherfuckers are racist if you dig what im saying.

Radical Arizona preacher hopes ‘God strikes Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy.’
Arizona Pastor Steven Anderson has received national attention for dedicating an entire sermon to “Why I hate Barack Obama,” and for having a parishioner who brought an AR-15 to a protest outside a speech delivered by President Obama. Calling Obama a “socialist devil” and a “murderer,” Anderson declared, “I’m not gonna pray for his good. I’m going to pray that he dies and goes to hell.” A CNN analyst said last week Secret Service agents had likely visited Anderson because of the content of his sermons. In the face of all the controversy, Anderson decided not to apologize or retract his remarks, but rather, he escalated his rhetoric yesterday:

No, none of my family has been lynched...
I dealt with it growing up, especially when I lived in Brooklyn...It does affect those who've experienced it. It changes your perception on racism as a whole...the more you've dealt with it, the more you acknowledge it exists. You've probably haven't been discriminated against as much as I did..or as much as LDB, or even Relic... But if it has affected you, it will stay with you forever, no matter what you try to do to "forget it" or "not let it affect you". That shit stays in your conscience forever....

Exactly!
I've witnessed b.s, been a victim of racist b.s and it affects the soul of a man. Unless you've been there and done that you can never really understand. The county in which my mom lives is so blatantly racist that I actually get physically sick when I'm down there for more than a couple of hours. I was in West Virgina a few years ago tagging along with my brother on one of his job assignments and witnessed "broad daylight" skin head marches in front of the Mayors office who happened to be black....why were they marching. Simply because he was the FIRST black Mayor ever there. Stayed there a week and got so sick that I was about to catch a flight home. Just so happen my brother got a new assignment a day later so we dip'd to Michigan. The easy part is saying "fuck it" and throwing in the towel. The hard way is to endure it and try not to "lose it" in the process. Racism is a way of life...it's not just words that you can tune out. The most racist acts perpetrated against people of color are rarely spoken! But once again, if you don't walk around in the "skin I'm in" you could never OVERSTAND where we're coming from.

'Slavery' talk at health care session?
By Vicki Taylor
Special to the Observer
Posted: Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2009
" TROUTMAN What does slavery have to do with health care reform? The connection was made for me last week at U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry's town hall meeting in Mooresville. An audience of mostly senior citizens spoke of death panels, Nazi Germany and fear. Mostly fear.
One woman said she was afraid of President Obama's “sticky fingers” raiding her Medicare. She didn't want any part of a government-funded health program – apparently oblivious that Medicare is precisely that.
Another wanted to make sure she could decide for herself what measures should be taken if she becomes incapacitated or close to death. She had no idea that the proposed health care bill she was attacking would pay her costs to do just that – sit down with her doctor and decide for herself.
Another asked how much penalty she would have to pay under the health care reform bill if she lost her job and couldn't pay for mandatory health care. The bill she is afraid of is designed to give her coverage if she loses her job – that's one of the main points. But McHenry, a Gaston County Republican, just said he didn't know and moved on.
One man stood and said he had fought in two wars and that he would never stand for America becoming a socialist country. McHenry said, “Amen.”
I listened to about three hours of this before I got a chance to ask a question. I mentioned that it was not true that America has the best health care in the world – we rank at the bottom of industrialized nations. I mentioned that I had lived in Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom and enjoyed excellent health care in all three. All three provide universal health care, with Britain and Australia offering government-run health care systems as well as private health insurance options.
I suggested that we learn from other countries – find out what works, what doesn't work, and use American ingenuity to come up with something that really is the best in the world. I asked the congressman why he didn't correct the untruths and misinformation being broadcast for the past three hours. I requested that he promote civil discourse. He said he would but that it had been a long day, the meeting had lasted three hours and sometimes he makes mistakes and, “would I forgive him?”
As I left the meeting I was confronted by an angry woman who demanded to know whether, if she broke her leg on the way out, I should pay for it. I said, not all of it, but my payment into the health care system would contribute part of what it would take. Whether I pay it in taxes or health insurance premiums, I said, I will be helping pay for her treatment.
She called me a liar, and when I rolled my eyes she narrowed hers and spit out how I was making fun of her because I was educated and she was not.
A man approached and launched into a speech about how Obama is secretly working to build a socialist state, like the Nazis – “They want to take over our country.”
And then another woman asked me where slavery was started. Without waiting for a response she said “Africa! They started it themselves.”
Slavery? “They”?
The small crowd around me nodded.
I was stunned and dismayed. Who are these people? They look like my neighbors. They are people I see at the store.
What has happened to them?
Somehow, to some people, health care reform looks like reparations.
Somehow it has become a symbol of the passing of the old order. Somehow it has tapped into deep fears about the uncertainty of the future, and fears lingering from a history that remains unresolved. And then I realized why I cannot forgive McHenry and his colleagues in the right wing of the Republican Party. Not only are they distorting what is proposed for health care reform, and in some cases promulgating outright lies, they are deliberately igniting racist fears and stoking racist anger – the Southern strategy, repackaged.
This is un-American.
This is unforgivable."
