Why I think the Port Issue isn't racist

[ck4829]

Here's a small personal story from me.

My Friend and I were watching TV on Wednesday. She is Somali, she is also Arabic, in fact she considers herself to be an Arab as much as a Somali.

So, we were watching a segment about the Port Deal.

Guess what she thought about us giving our ports to the UAE?

She thought it was stupid.

This ain't about race people, it doesn't have to be, that's what Ann Coulter would do. We aren't Ann Coulter now, are we?

This is about a cruel nation that owns slaves and has it's government tied to Osama bin Laden.

This same government owns a company and that company will be taking over our ports.

That in a nutshell is what this whole thing is about.

2. Your friend is exactly right

When I taught school I knew minority teachers. Sometimes they were picked for jury duty, and I never was. They told me the DA always liked to have them on juries because they realized the case wasn't about race-it was about crime. Same thing here.
