Agreed, and while Hillary has not won my vote by any means. I will not discount her because of how other countries view women in their societies. Maybe a female President will help the plight of women across the globe maybe not. We will never know until we have something other than a WASP president in office how the world or our people will react.
While I understand the concept of racism, I don't think anyone who has experienced the racism of the south prior to the 60's can talk about it with the same understanding as someone who is growing up in the post civil rights movement.
It's interesting to differ in the types of racism-Northern and Southern...because I really think there is. I mean, the best way I can put it is that in the North there is a sort of hateful mistrust towards minorities, where as in the South, racism isn't really an outwardly hateful thing, it's more of a "cultural understanding" based on ignorance.[/color]
Wise words there Dankie. One didn't have to grow up in the South to experience racism either. It was very prevalent here on the West Coast as well. I remember grown Black men calling me "sir" when I was around seven years old. They were unable to own homes because the banks wouldn't lend to them. They were treated as second class citizens and the real shame was ... they bought into it hook, line and sinker.

I want a woman that's a woman... not a woman pretending to be a man... We already have to many MEN pretending to act like men...

Yo Knowm, I was wondering...Now, you were responding to Vi's comment--the real shame was ... they bought into it hook, line and sinker.lol... look around... your staring at a lot of them...and race has nothing to do with it...
ANYONE who believes a single thought... is guilty of this... ANYBODY
But admit it Silk, they put up with the US, but they won't have to for long. Does the World notice that we are hanging ourselves with our own sumg self-satisfaction?I'm not sure the U.S. is willing to have a female president. People will deal with the U.S. because it's the U.S. ...
Look Knowm, I like you and all, but just because you're a mod doesn't give you the right to post twice. ~LOL~Hey Uncle Sunny..
VI says a lot of profound shit .. the funny part is.. he doesn't even KNOW it.... lol...
WHAT I am saying is that all thought is bullshit, slanted, self promoting propaganda... and there is nothing wrong with that... but if one is not aware of this.... it will eventually lead to misery and manifest as fear!
Just read the posts in this forum and you can see that 50% of the posts are screaming " I AM SCARED "... lol
YOU pegged it perfect when you said that people who are against RACISM are also racist...(or can be)...
The people who "fight" terrorism are the terrorists.. the story that THEY tell themselves about the "terrorists" is JUST EGOCENTRIC PROPAGANDA....
the people who say that others are buying the propaganda "hook line and sinker" are also buying the propaganda hook line and sinker.....
THERE is no way to achieve peace through violence... peace is not a GOAL... it is the way... make it your way and just watch the others flounder....
That's a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full. There is only 1 human species. Race is a belief system like politics and religion.
We all have racists thoughts. It's just that when you consider that there are more than two or three races, everybody is skeeved out by somebody else, and any culture in a geographic area is going to have a hierarchy of the "IgotHereFirsts".
Dead nutz on silk. Racism is of the world. In the Spirit we are one.That's a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full. There is only 1 human species. Race is a belief system like politics and religion.
Admit what? Watch out for wildfires and that sun and that smog. You nutter!But admit it Silk, they put up with the US, but they won't have to for long. Does the World notice that we are hanging ourselves with our own sumg self-satisfaction?
I mean, you can tell me, I'm a Californian...
