Why Isn't This Racism?

Yes or No: Is it racist to vote for, or against, any candidate for office on the basis of his or hier race?

 

Even that is no concern to me. But why would a Christian swear on the Q'uran? There is no religious test for public office, nor is there a Constitutional requirement to swear in on ANY book. If I were elected, I'd probably use a stack of Superman comics! :thumbs:

 

And yet, you continue to project your own racist struggles onto everyone else. Your Nyquil is doing your talking...exposing your own problems to all.

 

Thought

Gag me, some of you posters are so politically correct, so artificial, that you cannot even read the gist of something without getting your panties in a wad. I spoke of "what passes" for black culture. I am an equal opportunity racist. I don't like "red neck" culture either. I don't particularly like Moslem culture (at least as it'd portrayed in the media), and most of all I wouldn't care to hang around a country club with leaders of industry. I don't hate anyone in particular, not a red neck, or a black man, nor a Muslim, nor a Wall Street crook. I just have no desire to embrace the stereotype - even if it is politically correct. I was bored, had the flu, and watched Barkley being interviewed on CNN and thought that his comments were racist, which led to my original post. What did it reveal? Several responses from people so politically correct that they cannot tell the truth even in a semi anonymous forum. Even the Pope, Billy Graham and Sister Theresa had to wrestle with being human. However, this board has a much superior brand of Christian. We Baptist are simply the finest of people.

 

It has nothing to do with PC, mes. It has to do that not all of us give any thought to a person's race. If you can't accept that, then you do have an issue of your own. Of course we have eyes and can see the level of melanin in someone's skin. But that doesn't mean it plays into any decision about voting. Yes, there are racists of all colors. So what?

 

Thats just what we want, "I swear by superman to do a good job as president".
It demeans the oath of office for our presidency.

 

Baloney. Lighten up. It was a joke. However, maybe if Bush had followed Superman's code against killing, we'd all be a lot better off!

You must be a racist against the Kryptonian race. Your avatar shows you are for that pretender, The Batman!

 

Which is superior to God's?.. who ordered the Israelits to wipe out 7 nations in Canaan and later to genocide the Amalekytes, and in Revelation 18 for believers to "reward 'Babylon' double for the deeds she has done to us?"

 

This is where you came on this thread and made an accusation against me to another brother on this thread, without even discussing anything to me. If that is not sowing discord, then what is??

You will not find on this thread where I said one comment to you, friendly or unfriendly. Not one!!! You just thought it was your duty to tell rbell, what you thought of me. That is sowing discord and the fact you do not acknowledge it, even makes it worse.

Also, you said you were not going to post on this thread anymore, but here you are.

1Pe 4:15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

BBob,

 

So you are an equal opportunity hater, then? Gee, how many stereotypes can you fit into one post!

Superman Vs. Batman...

Golly Gee....

Give me CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

BTW, I am not a racist... but won't vote for Obama... I would for Alan Keyes though.

Voting for someone based on race, may not be racist... but it is stupid.

 

He left off blondes... and soprannos... or soprannos that are blonde....

 

Give an example of when voting for someone baed on race is not racist, but is stupid. And, within this context, explain the difference between the 2.

 

German-Irish-Scotish American

I believe it is racism. For a person of any color to come out and say they are voting for someone because of their color is clearly racism.

I took offense on super Tuesday when they were showing stats on Fox News and they stated that African Americans voted this way and Hispanics voted this way and then said WHITES voted this way. Why am I not a German-Irish-Scotish American?

 

I think only unpantied middle class white guys are safe, tiny Tim! We're all DOOMED...DOOMED, I say!

love,

Sopranette

 

If that is not racism, then what is. It was the first statement I agreed with, and got called a racist. It is not a racist, it is the truth, there is a difference you know.

BBob,

 

Truth

Sopranett, even Billy Graham, caught on tape advising Nixon about not trusting the "Jews". Had to face up to it. I don't think Mr. Graham ever discriminated against anyone in his life and by all accounts he is a fine Christian. The whole point about being racist is to overcome that proclivity and let the higher elements of human existence guide you. I hope to reach the lofty heights you've apparently already arrived at. I'm still down here with Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell (he never discriminated against anyone either), and at least one Apostle. And all the other truthful Christians that ever lived. Honestly, I don't think I've ever discriminated against anyone, at least knowingly. Best regards and have a great day.

 

This thread degenerated fast and I am closing it per the OP's request.
