As this plays out on the BB, I am still trying to get over LD's racist diatribe directed at RPM at the last LSB. I honestly would be hard pressed to think that anyone at the meeting was an out right racist, other than the accuser(s). I feel so hurt and angered by what happened. I along with many have their problems with the AIDS deniers, Null & Co., but this form of outright race baiting tactics is so disrespectful of the common good of the station that is is nothing short of criminal. Please excuse this slight digression. But yes, prejudice does come in all colors.<BR/><BR/>Fanogrendel, <BR/><BR/>As for Prop 8., it has been pointed out by many that only 7% of the population of California is black and in no way vote in a block. Blame the blacks doesn't work. And of course this no excuse, but it is only something to consider as part of the larger mix with the Mormon church putting up CASH and missionaries to swing the vote, in clear violation of the separation clause of the Constitution. My point here is that racial behavior, if you want to opt into that concept, is not monolithic, but organized religion is a totally different matter. The CLDS has a long history of being openly racist, and notoriously sexist.<BR/><BR/>There is much buzz on about Hillary being chosen for Sec. of State. I hope not. The logical place for her is on the Supreme Court where we can expect decades of not only a secure ideology on choice but also the rule of law in our bedrooms.a11endehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847881964347218802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916031369325814810.post-64052789123461914582008-11-11T22:44:00.000-05:002008-11-11T22:44:00.000-05:00True we still have a seriously long way to go. Als...True we still have a seriously long way to go. Also yes the Black support for Queer Bashing makes me Crazy.<BR/><BR/>Btw it's always been there. Even Obama told Blacks that they 'have' to deal will the cancer of homophobia, and anti-semitism common amongst them<BR/><BR/>Yes "Common".<BR/><BR/>I see, and here it every day.

True, Obama carried my state, but Hillary would have carried it by a bigger margin, I think. The economy was the big deal here and green trumped black.<BR/><BR/>Much progress has been made in our country. More is still needed.<BR/><BR/>That goes for the overwhelming percentage of blacks that voted for prop 8 in California. Prejudice can come in all colors.fanofgrendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571223272198477100noreply@blogger.com
