“In this election, I saw a lot more racism and hate from your team.”
That’s just silly, IMO.
Heck, listen to some of the racist filth coming from Republican party “leaders” today regarding this election.
Shall I post some links for ya’?
“Uppity, pallin’ around with terrorists, doesn’t see America like WE do”, etc.
Flyers with Barack eating watermelon, fried chicken, etc.
Based on what I’ve seen at the Palin rallies, I’m for a peaceful division of the US.
What are we united about exactly?
Many of these people are ignorant, hateful, violent freaks.
“Kill him, Traitor!”, etc.
Good lord.
I want no part of what I’ve seen at those rallies or, IMO, their “thinly veiled KKK meetings”.
Palin should just don the white sheets and pillowcase and call it a day.
McCain has disgraced himself and his legacy, IMO.
If he has a soul, he’ll go to the grave regretting what he has done.
Country first? What a joke.
He picked Palin for the good of the country? Not.
“So you’re void of all racism and hate? Be honest with your self.”
I’m only human, as we all are.
However, my family is multi-cultural (black, white, asian and hispanic).
My son is “biracial”. I suppose I’m “white”, although being half Jewish, Hitler might disagree. Lol.
My wife is from Central America and she’s beautifully “brown”.
We also have many religions represented in our family (Christian, Catholic, Jewish and Muslim).
So no, I have no irrational racial (or religious) hate issues, IMO.
Do I struggle with hate at times?
Well, of course I struggle with that emotion, like everyone.
But my hate is not based in racism.
“So I guess this was a war you supported by the pride you exude”
Yes, I am very relieved, happy and proud that the North won.
Is that what you mean?
“If you’re going to play the line that the Confederacy stood for slaves, that’s just a bunch of bull.”
We will just have to disagree on this one.
IMO, the Confederacy stood FOR “slavery”, not their slaves.
Not slavery alone, but yes, many wanted to preserve their “way of life” and “culture”.
We all know what that means, “bless their hearts”.
The Northerners wanted slavery? Lol. Talk about revisionism. Oy vey.
The culture of racism is still evident in many pockets of the South (and in some places here too, but it’s not quite the same, IMO).
The South embraced segregation (institutionalized racism) less than 50 years ago.
If some folks down there had their way, it would still be going on; David Duke, Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott, Jesse Helms, and yes, Robert Byrd (a Democrat), etc.
IMO, Byrd will be asked to retire very soon (and that’s a goo thing, IMO).
Hopefully we can disagree without being disagreeable.
But you can still have the deep South. ; )
I’m off to a Halloween party in an hour so, have a happy one.
Cheers to you MPB and happy growing.
