Bob.
I understood your point thanks. My point is racism is a product in every sector of life. I'm sure if interview African-Americans, you will find the same if not simular views toward white people. At some point you have to stop making excuses for people. The more you pat them on the back and say it's somebody elses fault, the more they believe it. It is funny however to see a Clarence Thomas or a Condi Rice over come it, after all Condi has a triple wammy. She's a woman, she's black and she's a conservative. Please tell me why, she is not embraced in the African American community.

That's a strong point Dorcheated. You see Bob is somewhat cruel because he continues to handicap these people's character. It is a character defect to think that people look at you beacause of your race and not your behavior. AL please have compassion for these folks because the are sick. They are no well and it will mean serious consequences for them. Anger, jealosy, arrogance, self pity, pride. Pray that they will over come and stand on their own and that people like Bob will stop enabling. It is sad to see so many lives suffer. I have compassion for these involved because I to have suffered and can relate to the character flaws. Counselors and step work helps for those that want to change.

Personal insults and assails on personal character made without factual bases are childish. I take it from your post that you assumed our neighbors' handyman was black? He's not. He's white and not very bright. He was born to an alcoholic mother with fetal alcohol syndrom.

Jim, Were you labeling people on the opposite side of this argument from you as racists in you previous posts?

Please respond.

I don't know whether Conde Rice is embraced in the African American community or not so I personally can't answer the question. I can guess; perhaps they don't like her policies? You do indeed get the point. Racism exists everywhere, in one form or another. I don't see where I made an excuse for anyone; but I'm also not sure if you directed that at me personally. My only point was simply to put racism out in the open for everyone to acknowledge its existence: the best step to a resolution to a problem is to first acknowledge that there is a problem. Then, define the problem. Not all aspects of racism are bad--for example, scientific study. It's the bad stuff that I think we're trying to "solve."

Jim, Looking back at the posts on page 6 I think Suzie's observations were in part a response to your thinly veiled assertion that folks on my side of this argument are racists. Did you back down from that position, or, did I misread your intent?

Jim,

I will take your non-response response to mean that, yes, you do believe that the people that do not agree with you on this thread are racists.

What was all that blather you posted here about labels?

You have, once again, proved my point that liberals, like yourself, can at times be intellectually dishonest.

Jim, What did you find disagreeable about my question? You seem to be angry. Why?

Angry? Jim Krow's posts reveal no anger. Disdain, perhaps, but not anger. Perhaps a look at the post in question and a count of the number of times the word "you" was employed thus indicative of someone shoving a finger in someone's face while making accusations, including an accusation that Jim Krow called all who disagree with him a racist, is in order:
"I will take your non-response response to mean that, yes, you do believe that the people that do not agree with you on this thread are racists.
What was all that blather you posted here about labels?

That's six you's in a very short post, annoyingly lengthened by the overuse of doublespacing.
Then, there's the pejoratives: three lines, three insults.
The overuse of the term "you" followed by an insult for each pair in a three line comment is the writing of someone looking for a fight or with an agenda with an obvious lack of understanding of self.

Bob, I bet you were really good at diagramming sentences in school. So, Bob, how about you? Do you believe that people on the other side of the argument here are racists? A simple yes or no will be sufficient.

four sentences; three "you's"--character trait of addicts.
