Wow Sandwichh, I have looked between all the lines of all the postings and I cannot find where anyone called anyone a racist…..Indivual celebrities were accused of race baiting as one of the causes.

Policies are meant to be disagreed with, since we are not robots.

Bush was bashed for eight years and Clinton for 16 years, so what does that have to do with the topic of this thread.

My main point is that haters do not have a particular idealogy, political party, or race. Another poster listed (his/hers?)Indivuals.I listed mine…A tit for tat.

PC, kool-aid?

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I do appreciate that.

I like that article you tossed in, Mike. That's exactly what I was talking about. That's great! And yes, I believe the better man won, too.

But Mike, please don't poke me in the ribs, but you know, I occasionally enjoyed listening to Glen Beck when he was on CNN. I just had to know when it was time to turn him off, and turn on NPR.

Calling someone a race baiter can be construde as a racists?
WOW, talk about PC!!
Welcome to Nobama world.

Let's see, I have said I don't care what color, race, sex, etc. they are,....and I AM THE RACIST???!!!

I am against POLICY! Has nothing to do with race, etc...

The haters are on the left, no doubt what so ever in these here and coming PC days.

If you are against policy you are a racist? I'l take it if that is what you pc'ers. And wear it proudly coming from the kool aid crowd.

Bush was bashed for 8 years, from the start. If you dish it out, you need to take it.

Hey,When you throw a rock over the fence, the hit dog howls.
Now that could apply to Air American, NPR etc....But quotes from the aforementioned are available, so  I am not worried about backing up my post.

Calling someone a race baiter could be construed as hate also. And I bet Air American never spewed any hate over the air waves either.

Race baiters like Sean Hannity,Glen Beck,Rush Limbaugh,Bill Cunningham and Michael Savage do their part in keeping the racism alive.
The KKK is broke and has very little influence today but the noise coming from hate radio is a constant.
Especially on this this day ,I am glad to post a positive message.
In McCain Country, Acceptance of Obama
By KIRK JOHNSON 2 minutes ago
In Oklahoma, where not a single county voted Obama, attitudes about his presidency are now softening. “I’ve come to think the better man won,” said Leonard Nelson

Lol,,,That's one of those left-handed compliments.

I do not wish Obama to fail as president, I wish him to fail by what he said during his campaign. Socialization, government growth, shutting down the coal power plants, nuclear plants, high gasoline taxes, restricted energy exploration, increasing taxes on middle and high income as well as greatly increased welfare to higher incomes.

That is what he said he would do. That is what I hope does not happen. And it doesn't make any difference to me if he is black or white or blue or green, male or female or both.

mracp - I wish there were more like you out there but we all know better. I agree with your comments. However, reality is it will never happen. To me race wars are like death and taxes. Dr. King was right about one thing... It will always be just a dream....

RE:mracp
Good post.

To start off with - I'm a white Czech, raised and lived in a rural area most of my life.

Yes, a long way to go, sad to say. I don't think any race issues will be resolved for a long time to come, for I think racism is further fueled by the never-ending criticism and accusations by all sides, not just one side.

Racism is a disgusting waste. Can any good come of it? No. Can any good come of laying blame to either side? No. Is it a downright shame? You bet it is - to all sides - regardless of color, race, or nationality.

I preferred McCain over Obama, but, like always, I'm going to give my President my full support until he gives me a solid reason not to. This will not change with Obama. Unlike some people, I do not hope he fails just so we can say "I told you so." I hope he succeeds tremendously! I hope he's the most successful President in our history, because that will mean our nation will reap, or at least start reaping, the benefits of this administration.

I've heard people discuss him, and for them to hope that he fails or gets assassinated is mental treason, pathetic, and it absolutely disgusts me.

As long as we have the race baters wanting more money and there cohearts in the main stream meadia playing along, the perception is that things will never be near equal.

I understand where you are coming from N45. However, it has been my observation that those wealthy who mistreat others are just as you said. For the most part, they just think they are wealthy. Those who are truly wealthy don't usually do that. They tend to be philanthropists and try to put a good share of their own resources where it will help others. Most of the "new" rich aren't that way and just want to satisfy their own tastes.

It would be very interesting to know if the "study" being talked about where people were videotaped making racist comments included blacks and hispanics as well as whites. Personally, I believe racism is being kept alive by those for which it serves a purpose. Those purposes include affirmative employment (formerly known as affirmative action)a program designed to make up for the "injustices" of the past. What is "equitable" about that? Don't we all want to be judged based on what we do and not by our race and national origin? Give me a break!

I suppose that when race based Chamber of Commerces are disbanded we can call the world "good".

Perhaps Obama's election will end at least one self-destructive pathology of black American culture. When kids who try to achieve academically or speak Standard Received English, their peers ridicule them for "acting white." Black students who strive now have a good retort. They can say they are trying to be more like the president.
