In reply to the discussion: Why I choose to be a counterproductive left wingnut. [View all]ConservativeDemocrat
(2,720 posts)And I have no login on Redstate. There are a lot of Conservative Democrats out in the nation (2 to 1 over very liberal Democrats), and I'm only one.
I will say that race relations are a difficult issue and believe that all sides have work to do. I am supportive of the President's remarks on the MLK anniversary, where he both celebrated the progress that needed to be made, noted that we as a nation (including the white community) needed to go further, and specifically challenged the black community to step up and compete - not to use even obvious racism as an excuse to do nothing.
With the stop-and-frisk in New York and the kinds of attacks on the President, it is exceptionally clear that we're not there yet, but I believe that in 50 to 100 years, the kind of racial animosity that makes Affirmative Action necessary will die away. I do agree that it should not be a permanent program.
Oh, and again thank you for once again showing the kind of hatred I was talking about. You went out of your way to find something you disliked by someone who took the tag as a Conservative Democrat on Redstate just so that you could call me an asshole, while imputing to me a position I do not take.
