    I mean what I say and I think what I mean.

     

    I see my role as more of an informed character who is here to get to the bottom of things, and to reveal the truth, via an unlfiltered lens, regardless of the efforts of a few others who are disciples of the PC religion, and who are in the business of suppressing the truth.

    that word, slavery...i do not think it means what you think it means.




    You shouldn't take the written word so literally. I do not mean that they are still physically in chains or have less freedom than others, at least not in the US.

     

    The overwhelming majority are slaves to the Democrat party, which is quite pathetic.

(What were they thinking?)




    It does but you're not eliminating the racism, you're just shifting the racism around to a new target and not really addressing the problem.

    We hear this all the time from the conservative politicians. What is the solution to racial inequality in your opinion?

    I have no solution for that, as it's not really my problem, nor do I really care about those who are affected, since it's their own choice.

    Doesn't apply to me in this situation, as I do not lead those kind of people, and I certainly do not follow.

    You can't walk the talk can you? You know going any further with your hate speech would put you in jail. Smart move.

    Liberals are more likely to end up behind bars. A person such as myself doesn't go to prison.

    On May 1, 1972, Helen Gandy, Hoover’s personal secretary, handed him the first in a series of exposés by ++Jack Anderson++[http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/09/15/nixon-white-house-plot-to-kill-journalist-jack-anderson.html], whose column appeared in The Washington Post. Previously, Anderson had enraged Hoover by assigning a reporter to rummage through his trash at home. The resulting column revealed that on Sundays, Hoover ate a hearty breakfast of poached eggs and hotcakes. It also revealed that he brushed his teeth with Ultra Brite, washed with Palmolive, and shaved with Noxzema shaving cream. Now, in his latest column, Anderson revealed that the FBI had conducted surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s sex life.

    Besides attending sex orgies, King was having an affair with a young woman in his office, says an agent who monitored wiretaps on King’s office and home phones.

    “Besides his home, King had an apartment,” the former agent says. “On Tuesdays, he’d go to the apartment, ostensibly to meditate and write sermons.” In fact, King’s girlfriend would meet him there for sex.

    Ignorant intolerant people who hold irrational prejudices are much more likely to find themselves on the wrong side of the law than openminded people who accept and embrace cultural diversity.

    Sure, you are free to believe whatever you wish to believe, no matter how wrong or misguided said beliefs are.

    It does but you're not eliminating the racism, you're just shifting the racism around to a new target and not really addressing the problem.
    As has been pointed out, it is a temporary adjustment to open eyes and shift entrenched behaviour. To equate what you would call 'reverse discrimination' or racism with the original racism and its causes that the affirmative action sets out to challenge is ignorant at best and merely serves to emphasize the need for such steps.

    So you are aligning yourself with the ignorant intolerant group against the accepting embracing group?

    In each varying situation, I align myself with the correct group, depending upon what the particular cause is.
