The Ron Paul that Ron Paul does not want you to know

Right, because people who find racism despicable have this as their real agenda. To kill white people.

You are such a little boy. Isn't it snacktime yet? Surely mommy has some rice crispie cakes or pudding snacks abrewing for you in the kitchen. Why don't you go upstairs and check.


But you're FOR raced based discrimination. Where does your self-righteousness come from, exactly?
 
I thought you were pro-diversity?

I am pro-diversity. And having everyone look pretty much the same would have no effect on our diversity. We would still be the same person just look different.

Now if I could just get that design on the mutagenic transmitter for cell phones worked out....

Let's all just wear The groucho glasses and schnoz and call it world peace. You're losing it, ya know that?
 
Everyone wants what they don't have :) Think of how much time black women spend on their hair to style it in a non african way. Skin lightener is also a product sold at black hair care stores.

Skin lighteners are dangerous and look ridiculous. I've never understood that
 
I think the foundations of it probably lie in my fashion sense and ability to speed-read.

Sounds like a future quote from Hillary Rodham Clinton, when recalling her rationale regarding consequential matters of state.

Well, if she cites speed reading as something she did before making a decision on "consequentional matters of state" she'll have done far more than W ever did before he decided to invade Iraq.

You think she's cleverer than bush?
 
I haven't travelled to the south only down to Virginia. But from what my wife has told me we would not be appreciated as a couple there.

Being Bi-racial is a different experience for people depending on who you are. I have been always treated as being monoracial however which race I am would depend on who you ask.

Many people reject the mixed race nature of people. My wife has been told numerous times by white people that she's just black to them. Black people have given her a tough time about her lighter skin. And it's hard growing up black in a family that is all white as her father abandoned her.

As for me it was also difficult as my mother didn't grow up here and back home things are very homogeneous so she didn't have as much familiarily with racism as I had to face growing up.

Our daugher being tri-racial will inevitably face difficulty as well and I dread the day she comes home crying because someone said an awful thing to her. But this is the reality we must face. We at least feel some solace though since we both will understand how she feels and be able to support her through it as well as our son.

I wish your family all the best.

Many families like yours move to communities where the children will face less problems. Americans are growing up now so by the time your baby has to face the world perhaps this will be even less of a problem .. as long as we don't elect the Ron Paul's of the world.
 
As long as we have theocrats, we'll have "racial" bigotry. I rember Dixie explaining to me how God created the "races" - something to do with the Tower of Babel, I think. :mad:

Hopefully, someday, rationality and enlightenment will prevail. There is no scientific or biological basis for separating people into "races". We all have the same DNA. We are, in fact, ALL children of africa. Our skin pigment and hair simply changed to suit the climates our ancestors migrated to out of africa.

That is something that should be taught .. to ADULTS.

Not nearly enough emphasis has been focused on the oneness as there should be.

To avoid that truth there is "intellegent" design and creationism. A lot of adults need to grow up.
 
A comic put it nicely: even if we were all one color, people would still have a reason to be prejudiced. We'd be divided by things like big noses, ears, and mouths. "Look at those big eared people......they think they can hear everything!"

Absolutely correct my sister.

Or, divided by "faith" .. a misnomer if there was ever one .. as there are even divisions with disastrous consequences with in the same "faith".

I'm still having fun with that one.

You live in PA, right?

I really can't imagine that in PA. Racism has never been so bad in the north (excluding NYC, of course).
 
Virginia was the first place I saw truly overt racism. When I walked into a store and saw a "We Support the KKK" sign and immediately exited I was actually approached by somebody who thought my actions were "questionable".

LOL. That's so weird. Does the Klan even exist anymore? I've never seen a racial rally, and I live in Mississippi.
 
In Virginia, really?? Jesus. I've been there, but only to VA Beach.

I'm wondering is he's talking about the 70's. As I've said before, Mississippi isn't perfect at all, but the south in the 70's and the south in the '00's are completely different places.

Interestingly enough, I just saw a statistic out today that Mississippi has had a 1.8% decrease in poverty... which is rather good. With economic progress comes social progress.
 
Not only the south. A friend of mine grew up in Ohio, married a Korean girl that was adopted by White americans as an infant and grew up American.
He moved to FL to escape the biggotry in Ohio. It is not just a white black thing.

I long for the day when everyone is some shade of brown and the small group of remaining biggots really stand out.

LOL, man, FL is the north. Go far enough south and you've went around to the other part of the country almost. Well, really, it's the beaches and high immigration rates to the most southern areas that has wiped racism out mainly. Maybe that's the reason I never really noticed any serious racism, besides those idiot confederate flag wavers (maybe the Confederacy was part of Mississippi's past, I really wish it wasn't, and I wish they'd quit praising it). While the rest of the state was still under prohibition in the 60's south Mississippi's officials just turned a blind eye to the liquor stores popping up all over the place. Sometimes they'd "Fine" them. They'd come back every month and "fine" them. It was sort of like a tax.
