It's clearly biased in favor of the human race. Therefore, it is one of the very few statements that is literally racist.

I think Peter Singer and others call that "speciesism".

I wouldn't care if it were the grand dragon of the KKK coming up with the solution. That doesn't mean I like the guy or support his agenda... but if he can solve the problem when others can't, then ship his racist a$$ to the gulf.

Peter Singer is the last person I take ethics advice from.....

Both of terms racist and homophobic are used incorrectly 99% of the time. Bigot is a better term. I have yet to meet anybody that is scared of gay of people. I do believe that those who champion affirmative action/diversity hiring have more leanings toward racism and bigotry. They really believe that blacks or others really are not good enough.

Only if you think blacks and other minorities are inferior and need quotas, affirmative action, and preferential treatment. You know, like the Democratic party.

I guess this administration has a problem with free speech. His social stances are irrelevant anyway in this situation.

I do so hope that a white,nazi,KKK,homophobic,trailer honky comes up with a way to solve this problem. I bet Obama would such the chrome off his trailer hitch to get out of this mess.

This statement in and of itself is not racist. I'd even argue we look for those traits in the people we marry, befriend, and work with. Anyone who thinks this statement is racist probably feels his particular race doesn't have the above attributes, or, worse yet, feels another race doesn't have those attributes and that would him the racist.

Never met an armless prisoner, have you?

Nevertheless, there is a great deal of fear mongering regarding homosexuals that has little support if any by statistics or fact - namely, that your children are at risk of molestation.
