Racism

[devilindisguise]

Is it only racist if a white person says they don't like a black person? What about a Black Ex-Mayor saying that he couldn't please blacks because they want all their problems solved, and it cannot be done. I saw the Black ex-mayor of Los Angelos on television a few weeks ago, and he said that he didn't win with the black vote, but from other groups. He said that the black community wants all their problems solved (apparently by the politicians) and it couldn't be done. So by the racist label, if I said that as a white person, I would be called a racist. Actually the word is tossed about too much. A racist hates a race of people. I've noticed some on here want to play the race card if you just say something about Obama. Like maybe "I'm for Hillary".

1. "Racist" implies a belief in racial superiority.

The rest of your post is stupid. :)

2. It sounds to me like the ex Mayor was in over his head.

That sounds like he didn't understand the problems and never came up with a plan to try to solve them.

No when you say that when people say that they are going to vote for Hillary and are called racist, well that's just plain ridiculous.

People seem to forget this is America and people can choose who they want based on whatever criteria they deem important to themselves.

3. So was Sylvia Browne on the program too with the black former mayor of LA? n/t

4. The USA played the 'Race Card' when it enslaved millions of

blacks and murdered untold numbers of American Indians. This 'they played the race card' crap is a canard and a hedge when someone doesn't want to face the truth about what America has done to blacks and what it continues to do to blacks. Racism knows no color.
It's simply hate of a race that is not your own.
Why do you think major cities always place the city dump in the poor, mostly minority, neighborhoods? Nashville, TN has moved the dump several times over the last 100 years and it was never considered placing the dump in Belle Meade. When was the city dump in LA last located in Beverly Hills. I think a good guest would be never. :dem:
