Yes, racism is alive and well in this country.

I don't care. Didn't your Momma ever tell you two wrongs don't make a right? I don't care if someone is using their race to get over I don't want to have to listen to some ignorant idiot go on about N@#$ this and N!@#$ that because they see I'm white so it's ok to use racist language. And by the way it's entirely possible that any or all of those examples of yours has nothing to do with racism. Every Time someone gets away with something and happens to be black doesn't automatically mean they got away with it because of their race. There are plenty of losers that get over from every race. People can be mean threatening and abusive regardless of their race.

I can't know nor do I care if someone is racist. What I do care about is behavior. I think making racially charged statements is stupid. So is using racial charged language. If you can't make a point without it then you are honestly too stupid to make a valid point anyway. Lumping every one of a particular race in one group and thinking of them as "Those People" is stupid and lazy. And while I get the appeal putting on some big reverse racism pity party victim hat is also stupid because it will not achieve any beneficial results outside of making you feel a bit better. Kind of like kid throwing a tantrum.

Settle down, we're in agreement...there are still lots of racists in America.

To one degree or another, regardless of race, pretty much everyone i know. Except for the 4yr old and other crowd. They pretty much dont care.

Complaints were made against a Black lady at my wife's workplace for her threats to "bring a gun to work and shoot somebody". No actions were taken against her. Two young Black Females threatened to shoot my wife when their paths accidently converged in a large crowd at the Texas State fair. No apologies were issued. So far the only perpetrator of the "Knock-out" game that has been charged with a Hate crime is White. At my workplace a Black Lady constantly shows up for work late or not at all forcing her manager to scramble to get her shift covered. She walks around the facility with a "Texas is Obama Country" T-shirt inspite of company rules to the contrary and argues with anyone who disagrees with her. They just announced lay-offs in her department but she gets to keep her job. Yes, racism is alive and well in this country.

Sad but true. Society sucks!

So is using racial charged language

If one special snowflake group can use certain works...in casual conversation, what passes for music, and as slogans on clothing then those certain words are OK for casual conversation.

Period.

Good luck with that:

Heh...

Remember, the National Association for the Advancement of White People is RACIST, as is the United Cracker College Fund

And you can't say "NEGRO" or "COLORED" unless you are writing a check to the...United Negro College Fund or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People...

Right...

If I know a word or phrase will make someone feel bad then why not use a different one? Context does matter and from one person a word can mean one thing and from someone else it retains a whole different meaning. The truth is the main reason to use most of that terminology is to mess with someone and wave it in their face either because you are trying to make a point and don't care if they get upset or you want to upset someone. I can't help but feel if I want to piss someone off I can do it directly without hiding behind "Well someone else says it so I can too" or if I don't then why not have the courtesy to not use language that I dang well know will cause issues? I get being tired of PC bs and all of that but we have all kinds of social hoops we jump thru to get along. This is just one more.

all of this racist talk has me upset. I'm going to join LULAC and the Black Chamber of Commerce today.

Because then the racists win.

They want to control what goes on in your head.

No.

Interesting that the Congressional Black Caucus never said anything about their fellow Democrat and KKK senior member, Byrd.

 

[Iamntxhunter]

Bundy is a forgotten story for the most part, as now they have someone with money they can go after. Isn't America great.

Win what? Their 1st Amendment right to Free Speech? If you don't like what racists are saying, then exercise your right to tune them out, like I do when Obama or Sharpton, or Jackson, or Watters, or Brashear or any of the multitude of racists speak. It's strange how people get apoplectic when a White racist says something stupid in a private telephone conversation but completely ignore even more egregious comments made on a national forum by a Black racist.

Here you have had elected officials use the weight if not the authority of their offices to limit free speech.

That's like saying Fat Shamers win if you use language that doesn't offend overweight people. As I was trying to convey it's not about being PC with me. I just try to be reasonable courteous to others. If I'm not trying to verbally hurt someone then I try and use words that don't verbally hurt someone. I'm sorry but you don't get to decide what language bothers someone. That just isn't how it works. At the very least it's clear when you use certain language you have no concern about how people hear it feel. That just isn't courteous. To put the best face on it when someone uses language like that they care more about making a questionable political point that having manners, courtesy, or how anyone who hears you feels.

After this past Monday, they can just declare him a danger and arrest and hold him forever.

Well, now they're going after the people who pointed their guns at the officers.

I-Team: Police say Bundy ranch protesters not off the hook - 8 News NOW

Is it illegal to point a gun at a gov't official/police officer/etc?

In Nevada, we call that brandishing.

 

[jrbfishn]

That should have been expected. Too many mistakes and pushing on both sides. But LE is not going pass up the chance to let them know they have the power and resources. They can't afford to. The only way to hold power, is to keep the other side afraid of it.

Well, unless they're bringing in some three letter agency that has face recognition technology, I'm not thinking they'll be getting too many guys' info. I understand they could have had people in the ranks keeping an eye on things as well as the surrounding areas watching things, but from what I understand-a lot of people car pooled. So we'll see what happens.
