Kinda like the most recent stuff that you MUST hate... where if you disagree with Obama, it must come from some deeply rooted racism within you. If anyone is making race an issue, it must come from the left... Just because Wilson disagreed out loud with Obama (in the WRONG way and WRONG venue IMO), he must have done it out of racism. There's a poll on FB now about Jimmy Carter saying that most disagreements with Obama must be RACE driven. HMMMMMM... What's up with that?
If race is to be a non-issue... then let's stop talking about race!!! But IMO, it is the left that is playing the old race card again.
Fred, I respect you as one of the most politically non-invested non-prejudiced people on this forum. And I hope I conveyed the thought I intended in the right words. In that I am complimenting and agreeing with you.
I have family,...aunts, uncles, and one grandfather still living who went though at least the most recent World War. And I listen to what they say, and what is in between the lines that they
do not say.
I respect former president Carter as an elder statesman, with
some accomplishments, but I find myself listening to him like I do my relatives. It is my
opinion that because of his age, his era, and national history,...that he cannot objectify and see a situation or circumstance
without his pre-1970's-era-tinted-glasses.
I try to empathize (from afar) with his antiquated "institutionalized white guilt" (see post #17), but I decline to be subject to it. If jews, women, blacks, and homosexuals can break the chains that fetter them to prejudice and discrimination,.......I demand every right to unburden myself of a century-plus of walking on eggshells because of institutionalized white guilt. When
I can critique and criticize truly freely,.....will symbolize when we are all free from racism. And not before.
"Don't say 'black' or 'african american' too loudly or too many times" is archaic institutionalized white guilt at it's disgraceful and disgusting superlative.
