    Please do use the search function of this forum. This is serious matter. Please do find where and when I admitted being a racist. Or even better, please do find posts of mine can qualify me as a racist. Otherwise, you owe an apology.

    I'm sure communists do it. As do democratic leaders. And kings. And just about every other leader in the world of politics, business, and anything else. McCain's entire reformist image is based on his response to his Keating Five scandal. Hillary's image as resilient is based on her failures in health care and the maritial issues with Bill. Taking negatives and minimizing them is a key aspect of leadership in general, because everyone is going to run into negatives. It's the response of the person to those challenges that show what kind of person they are. It's easy to be good when you're not challenged.

    Well it must not have been you then....sorry...

    I just remember some guy with a similar posting style and moniker to yours explaining how he truly disliked the non-Asians he had met here.......I think he said he was living somewhere in CA and preferred buying Japanese cars, etc

    Back on topic, I don't like what I see from Obama over this.

    She's a big-time advisor and she made a mistake, probably from a combo of fatigue, stress, and frustration. Even Harvard types sometimes find it hard to handle a campaign... it's a different dynamic than academia or even everyday governing. No big deal... she learned her lesson.

    But now they project weakness by having her resign and appearing to give the Clinton camp some say in their personnel decisions... and that's the kind of games Repubs have played for so long.

    If she had made a racist remark or something egregious, then yes, get rid of her. But all she did was use strong language in reference to an opponent. Admit the mistake and then tell the Clinton camp to shove it when they demand a resignation.

    I remember that thread and it was absolutely out of line. As minority myself, I am offended by any racially offensive comments, directing at any race/ethnic group.

    As apology to pgabriel, I remembered it wrong. SamFisher was the one did that, and I believe I might have some exchange with pgabriel as well in the same thread, so I mixed it up.

    I think they're different, which brings up another point...
