Ok, I have been called a racsist, most white people have. Now I'm gonna point out something fast:

Black people have their own college fund for black people. If white people had a white college fund, would that be racsist?

Black people have BET, Black Entertainment Television. If white people have CET, Caucasian Entertainment Television, would that be racsist?

Some Black people can call us whitey, The Man, honkey, and it seems to be acceptable. But once you say N1gg@r or sp00k, you're racsist.

Some Blacks claim that NYC police are racsist in regards to the law as 70% of accused criminals are black. Well in a city of 70% black people, its not state law thats against you, its the law of probability.

I am not a racsist, i think most racsist people are idiots, this includes homophobes and antisemetics, but I just do not understand how we can be racsist when they have so many more rights than we do.

Will a vote of non confidence just make you mad that we are back at the polls ? Does Layton stand a chance - Ontario looks like it might swing to NDP - just look at how many seats are NDP in Toronto ............Who is the Liberal leader anyway ?

I don't think the Mulrroney closeness with Regan and the Harper Bush thing will be missed by Canadian voters at all.

Do you think the Sun calling the liberals fiberals will make any impact .............

They call it the "chocolate" city. Isn't that racist terminology? Don't they select white-washed blacks like Powell and Rice to represent them?

There are many ways to change the USA. I encourage EVERYONE to vote for a 3rd party candidate in ALL elections, especially the presidential election. Break the 2-party system! That would change the USA forever and give more opportunities for everyone. How do YOU propose to change the USA?

Is it not that very poor conduct, bad behavior, lies about it, attempts to spin it away and the coverup of it that leads a nation or it's military to wage wars less and less effectively and justly in such a way that makes wars drag out longer, victories much more difficult or impossible to achieve or even define and futher encouraging even worse behavior sliding ever further down a slipperly slope? Does it lead the nation, it's leaders, it's military and it's people to self delusion? Is truely always trying to honestly and justly conduct ourselves in all our endevors instead of just trying to appear that way what keeps us honest, just, grounded, and good?
