3. You are just seeing this now?

For all the racists folks in America, they sure kept this hidden for a long time!

I had a Aussie show me this within a week of the inauguration. It was passed to him by an enlightened European.
Listen, racism is everywhere, it is not just an American problem, it is not just a white problem. You will never stamp it out. If you keep highlighting the idiots when they create small minded jokes, you run out of energy to combat the real racism that actually hurts people.

6. When you elevate this to "vicious racism"....

Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 06:19 AM by rve300

you really loose perspective on what racism is. What if the originator of this crap was an African American? It isn't racism, just a small minded joke whose 15 minutes of fame should have come and gone 6 months ago.

And FYI, I have never posted on DU under any other name. Just an ex-pat in Oz with an American family and an interest in what goes on in the homeland. Not trying to disrupt, but I will not subvert my opinion to please some other anonymous poster in a political forum. But if you somehow think you know who I am, than I fooled somebody without even trying.

4. When are these fucking pubic morans going to realize....

...that once you loose something on the internets that it is out in the public domain?

Fucking Republicants, in addition to being fired for their stupidity, should lose all access to computers and the web for a minimum of five years.

7. Freedom of speech without responsible thought turns it into an ugly right.
