Chuck, I don't recall your part of Indiana having any lynchings, so Taz must be hallucinating again. That happens when you drink too much of the kool aid and believe in ancient myths.Quote:

Full disclousure. Where I live now, Northern Indiana, I don't believe had any lynchings. However, where I grew up, Southern Indiana, did. That is a sad fact of my life. I never participated in any of that, too young. However, when I was in High School I found out that there was still a small KKK group in town. I heard that a few of my "friends" were in that group. I spoke to them to see why, and show them the light, but to no avail. I have not spoken to them since, nor will I.Quote:

Fundamentalist Christians are generally considered on the right.
The Church of Jesus Christ Christian sounds suspiciously right wing!
But hey as Mark says I'm hallucinating :mark:
You guys slay me!

Well you are certainly more "culturally" acceptable which is what people do to eliminate the racist tag. If people were truly non-racist there should be a Darfurian in every house to offset there tremendous problems. It seems that people are generally non racist when the race card is not affecting them. But none of these great non racists seem to be doing anything for the under privileged ethnic groups that exist in the world. Gee could this make the dictionary under "Hypocrite"Quote:

If you want to get rid of the "racist" tag you can just be like me a "equal opportunity hater" That way you don't have to try and bullsh!t people
Gee Taz, you calling all Fundamentalist Christians right wing racists? How about the large number of born again Christians that voted for Obama?Quote:

Furthermore, lets put ole Jermiah Wright on the stand. You listen to his sermons Taz? The man hates white America. He HATES you. Listen to his sermon...and look at whom he supported in the election, and then tell me how a Christian Minister who votes left isn't a racist because he is from the left? Oh right...blacks are not allowed to be racist because of their past? BS......
You Taz only see what you want to see...and in many ways that makes you the racist you claim Chuck and I are.
My comment at the start of this thread was only that I am tired of this attitude that right wing voters are racists. IT is a fallacy that any one political stripe is racist. Both sides have at one point or another wrapped themselves in the flag of whatever nation and used xenophobic language and ideas to promote some goal at a particular time in a nation's history.
Heck...look no further than the UK. The first major industrial power in the world was the first to ban slavery, but anyone who has ever read Victorian novels or history knows how the upper classes felt about the "wogs" and inferiors (as they saw it). You can pretend your noble and self serving, while still being a racist. No political party or ideal has ever held much of a high ground historically on this one.....it is a shameful history in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ or any other new colony. The Indians have been "racist" towards their Islamic/Pakistani minorities, not to mention the Sikhs. The Sinhalese in Sri Lanka just knocked out the Tamil movement in their country. You want to bet there isn't any racism going on there????
We wont even get into the Arabs and how they feel about Jews and Infidels as they see it. Lots or racist stuff there.
IT isn't a left vs right thing guys....it is part of the human condition and politicians of whatever stripe exploit your gullibility on it if you will let them.
You are an ass plain and simple. I don't think that labeling someone a racist, especially if you know nothing about the person, is wrong. No matter the "imagery".Quote:
