You said "colored". This word, along with the N-word is no longer socially acceptable. Only Obama's mentor Reverend Wright can use such hateful terms.
Like i said before get over the race issue and stop pulling the card every chance you get....

The posts were far from funny, John. One of the most egregious is reproduced below. And I don't think it's something that ought to be defended.
"Its very different. If Barrack Obama was white, how many of these first time voting color persons would of come out to vote for another battle between to "crackers" running for president? Hmmm what demographic typically has the worst turn out in elections? Hmmm those colored brotha's are the ones who typically dont come out and vote.....but when a black man was running they crawled out from the wood work like a bunch of roach's during a feeding frenzy. Correct me if im wrong"

hey hey hey... i have seen you randomly bash bush before....
What's with every thread developing into a intense political discussion? not that i care. I love to hate politics. I will probably be a politician one day.

I' gave up on my former political ambitions a long time ago so I don't care what I write -- I write what I believe. But if you intend to run for office, you definitely should watch what you write here as someone will dig up your posts and tie them to you.
I am not going near the political debate raging in this thread as I don't see that any good could come of it.

Like i said above is it coincidence that more black people voted in the last election than any other election? No it isnt. Get over your skin color and stop using it against white people. Its not an excuse anymore. Black people have the same rights and opprotunities as white people. If you think about black people have more. For instance in the NFL when a team is hiring a new coach they are required by the nfl to interview a BLACK coach. They arent required to interview a white coach but are a black coach. Pretty unfair if you ask me.

Brett, you do need to clean it up but I do not think you are a racist. White people are not allowed to use the same words as black people, be careful.
96% of black voters voted for Obama while 45% of white voters voted for Obama. Are these black people racist? What about the rest of the white voters, are they racist for not voting for Obama?
BTW, my father, who is 75yrs old, occasionally says "colored". I have to correct him and tell him that term is not ok, is he racist? No, he is not racist, he grew up in a time when that word meant black.
My point is while Brett did use derogatory terms and made a horrible anology(not simile), I do not think she is racist, just ignorant. I mean, hell, she said simile...she is obviously not a wordsmith. There is a difference between ignorant and racist.
