Uh, dreama wasn't actually accusing anyone of sexism. She was relating phony cries of "racist!" to phony cries of "sexist!"

Where are people crying racist for not liking certain black people? I must have missed it.

I thought this was about people who identify their acquaintances, friends or so on by their skin color constantly>?

No one is accusing people of being racist because they aren't democrats. You continually try to make it seem that way when nothing is further from the truth. People are accused of being racist because they demonstrate racist attitudes. It has nothing to do with their political affiliation, as much as you would like to make it that way. But again, why bother with facts?

Yup. I don't consider Colin Powell an uncle Tom and I don't think the majority of the Black Community think that too even if many of them are Democrats. But then I speak as an outsider regarding the Black community.
 
There was a white teacher at my school who was the head of the diversity department. She constantly went on about how she's married to a black man. When she had a baby, she brought her baby in and went on and on about how he was biracial.

Would this be considered racist?


As for the mentioning killers' religions and so on, newspapers tend to use minorities as identifiers. For example "Lesbian Gets Caught in Sex Scandal" or "Deaf Man First Man On Mars" or what have you (just making up the titles).

And some minorities take precedence over others. For example, to vaguely bring the thread back on topic, from the conversations I've had and newspaper articles I've read, there is a lot of talk about how David Paterson is blind, but there is very little talk about how he's black. So in a way blindness takes precedence over blackness when using a minority identifier.
 
Just out of curiosity, would your views on Sarah Palin be any differant if she was a black woman?

I recall this all started when people like Jimmy Carter and our own resident psychologist, jillio, said Obama's opponents are acting out of covert racism. In other words, the "covert racists" haven't mentioned race in their criticism (otherwise they would be among the overt racists). The first ones to bring it up are people like jillio. I'm trying to figure out the logic, although I have a feeling I'm probably foolish for doing so.

I was referring to this thread so I guess I must have missed that part.

we already answered your question. Our answer is still same - no matter if she's black, yellow, brown, man, inter-sex, lesbian, gay, etc. We do not like her because of her stance on most issues.
 
Would we expect an apology from the Kos kiddies for that article?

Problem is, you seem to have a problem discerning skin color as a sign of ethnicity. Show just how superficial your thinking is.:laugh2:

It took me a while to wrap my head around the concept of Latinos being of any race.

No way! I honestly wanted a woman for vice president or president (that may be sexist of me) but after learning of Palin's views, I didnt want her in office.

Which can be a good thing sometimes (depending on the story) . We are not suppose to be colorblind or anything like that. But appreciate people who they are.

take your own advice - "If you have a complaint about this, I suggest you take it up to KOS. Don't take your complaints up to me."
