i am amazed at the type of thinking that still exists in the year 2013. i was also pretty amazed at how many people think its ok to act like they know what they are talking about in a subject they know completely nothing about.

It's funny how liberals brand conservatives as "racist" when all conservatives want is a colorblind society.

The only way to avoid being called a racist is to support affirmative action policies and all kinds of government goodies to non-whites.

im against affirmative action.....what i mean by racist comments are those who portray slavery as......

1) not that bad
2) blacks are better off because of it, they should thank us
3) africans had slaves too.....what we did wasnt that bad

1. I wouldn't know. I wasn't alive 150 years ago, and neither were you
2. Not so sure about the thanking whites part, but compared to what's going on over in Africa, I bet most blacks would stay here
3. True, so it's not a "white only" thing worldwide
