the problem is that people that believe this will never be able to change and they teach their kids the same things by their comments and attitudes.
Exactly. It is a cycle.

Sorry Cie, that explanation just doesn't wash anymore.When I operated the sales dept for my family business, I used to hear things that made me cringe inside, but I moved past it because I am not going to blow a sale or piss off a client because he is ignorant about race. Some of my friends, guys that I have known since I was 5 years old, feel that they are superior to blacks. Are they bad folks because of the manner in which they were raised? I say no. These are good people who care for their families, donate time and $ to the community, and are regular guys like us....well, at least like me.
Being raised a bigot does not make you a bad person, it just makes you a bigot.

this is where the trouble starts. And I can just about guarantee that Dogs and Mags both feel they are superior to blacks.
Its a attitude of never giving a black person a chance and its wrong.
Now if I meet a black person and he is a moron I dont say hey that n....... is lower than dog shit.
I just say that guy was nuts and move on.
:facepalm:

Come on Mags... no one's buying your "I know you are but what am I?" routine. You know as well as everyone else in this forum that Scotty's anything but a racist.Funny thing, Archie-Atlanta, I've never said anything about blacks. Only you do, you racist piece of dung.
Yes, you, 50+ year old white man living in GA with your confederate flag and bumper sticker on your truck.
Leave me out of your racist tirades - I don't discuss race in my posts (unless I'm responding to your racist dribble), so leave me out of them.
I commented on Dogs being a good guy based on my brief encounter with him. I do not condone any form of bigotry, and I have called out Dogs in the past for racist comments far more severe than what is going on in this thread.
I live in the south. I don't know how it is in your area, but here racist and simple-minded thoughts on race are common from the uneducated masses, to high level executives, and everyone in between. The reason I thought Obama could not win an election was because of my thoughts on the prevalence of racism throughout the country. In fact, this cost me a couple of hundred bucks that I layed on McCain at +160:mj07: I thought that it was the same way everywhere:shrug:

Cie would you (or anyone else) please bring back any deemed "racist comment" I've made. I am curious what they would be.
Most post that have been contrued as racist have merely been statistical data. Now if one being statisically predjudice to facts is racist--then guilty as charged--but I can assure I treat everyone I meet the same--the reason I am not dropping a bunch of kids off on tenth street to go trick or treating on halloween--is not be cause I'm racist but because I am statisically prudent.

Well they say "Dogs" don't possess self-awareness. That's why a Chihuahua will try to back down an Irish Wolfhound... :shrug:....................................................................
