    I do ascribe to that mostly. I feel this discussion of race is in everyone's face right now and that can only be a good thing for America. Closet bigotry will always exist but that IMO is no longer than norm. I agree the color of Barack's skin is a benefit. I just wish it was Condelleza Rice or Colin Powell.

    By the way Vernon was always one of my favorite Rockets. I met him twice in bars and contrary to popular opinion I thought he was a pretty nice guy. Amazing how the masses hate him.

    He's hated?

    I think most people are generally ok with Max, they know he had some demons but he was never a perpetual knucklehead like you see in pro sports today.

    Well said. Obama's election can not only change how our country is veiwed around the world but it will change how many minorities view their opportunities in this country. It'll be the first time there'll be a real live example that a person of any race can become the most powerul person in the world. It'll no longer be a theoretical belief.


    To the original question, I think even racists can read a tax plan. Money may trump racist beliefs for a lot of people, especially casual racists.

    CaseyH is intentionally r****ded. Blah blah incoming "Nice argument insulting me instead of talking about the topic." You're intentionally r****ded, and a racist. Not going to convince me otherwise.

    For the sake of sounding ridiculously obvious, you can like certain black people and still be racist against blacks. It's not like all racist rednecks aren't sports fanatics just because the best player on their team is a black athlete.

    It's so true. My sister is a good example. She invites mexican coworkers to her wedding. She says she hates Mexicans and thinks they are stupid and violent. However, her coworkers are different in her eyes.

    I think a better thing would be to reveal . . .to whom he is racist
    just to have it out there

    I'm not racist. I just love one race more than others.

    It's not wrong to love, right?

    eh, I really shouldn't have responded to it, but i always get irritated when I read that. Attitudes towards other races and cultures has come a long long way in my lifetime and when folks say that I feel that all that progress I have seen with my own eyes is marginalized.
    We shouldn't spend all our time looking for racists, they are nothing other than willfully ignorant neanderthals that will hopefully one day die out like the relics they are.

    I find it far more rewarding looking for ways that we are alike.

    Call it the old hippy in me, but I feel life is far too short to hate your neighbor.

    yes, really. Wake up and get out more. I like how you think the world should be like this and more like that. Doesn't work that way. Thanks for your videos though.

    In this day in age, yes you are a racist. Be proud of what you love no matter who it offends.

    Well of course they don't. You quote right-wing nonsense lies and pretend they are truth. Why would they care?
