Don't fret. Just three more years of that, then we can move on to at least four years of sexism.

The left can win a policy debate, so they have no choice but to allege racism in every situation.

I'd be doing the same thing if I was a leftist.

16 trillion in debt. Economy continues to falter. IRS. NSA. Benghazi, Obamacare rollout etc.
Race is what they have to use to try and change the subject, so they shamelessly use it. God forbid this regime gets any blame for their failures.

We passed 16 Trillion last year, almost a year ago.
I think we all are tired about racist comments, except for the left agitators that normally are using them.

I'm not tired of hearing about racism. Racism is a real problem.

I'm only tired of hearing about people exercising their rights and duties to demand accountability from their government being described as racists.

That is really two distinct and valid reasons to be tired of hearing about racism, so I'd say yes on both counts.

Racism is NOT a real problem. Prejudice is. What true racism is has been watered down by the left.

Please. Over the last 30 years, in the corporate world, less qualified minorities & women have been promoted over more qualified white males.

The problem with claims of racism, is typically the accusation of such
is either based in ignorance, hyperbole or mean mean-spiritedness.

This past weekend my wife (while visiting the neighbors house)
commented on the topic being discussed about shot glasses, saying
that we (that being she and I) owned some goofy looking Polish shot glasses.
One of the other ladies in attendance said that my wife's comment was racist.

Of course my wife explained in a most diplomatic way that we call then goofy
looking Polish shot glasses simply because they are tubed shaped, with tiny
handles and were made in Warsaw… and even if the description of the shot
glasses is assumed as derogatory, Polish is a nationality, not a race.

The woman replied, "still, it sounds racist"

The latest fiasco over the weekend. The truckers and million vet march. Are people that incredibly tone deaf not to see the image of the confederate flag being waved in front of the White House is not helpful? I know it's red meat stuff. It appeals to the 25% of the population that is your base, but to the rest of the country? It looks like the GOP wants to take us back to 1861. Is that forward looking? Is that a party or movement on the rise? Remember that Republican Autopsy we posted on a year back. What image do you think the GOP is projecting. Do you think any of this looks like outreach?

Confederate imagery is only racist when convenient.

Every year millions of African-Americans enthusiastically enjoy family picnics while sitting
in the shadows of Stone Mountain... featuring the world largest relief carving depicting
Confederate heroes of the Civil War.

I say if blacks have no problem with a monument of Robert E. Lee the size of a bus,
then no one should have a problem with the Confederate battle flag.

25% of the population? Wrong.

Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016

I know you say... but think about all the other people who don't live in the south. Think about how it represents you? You're not winning right now and by turning into this aggressive wounded animal you won't be winning for awhile. It's the total opposite of outreach.

Take a look at the favorability of the GOP. 25% is right on.

Sorry shorted you 3 points.

Racism is big money these days, so it isn't going away any time soon. Unfortunately, many folks tend to ignore racism cries as sometimes they are proven false. It's the whole "boy who cried wolf" thing going on.

True, cries of racism are like activated car alarms...since the late 1980's, no one really pays much attention to them.

Damn I hate people like that. I don't know how your wife didn't just smack that b*tch up... I still remember when people had thick skin... Saw Blazing Saddles the other day for the first time since I was a kid and it reminded me of how far we've dropped in the last 18 to 20 years or so.

No, I think people are too incredibly tone deaf to understand what the Confederate Flag means... You have proof that it only appeals to 25% of the country?
