Welcome and leave your victim mentality at the door
All men are created equal but his choices determine his value and what's in his heart determines his worth.

All discussions are fine as long as y'all agree with me.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

It's unfortunate but a fact. It's "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" effect. So while true racism is unacceptable in our society, the mis/over use of the racism accusation has lost it's stigma because of the very people who would use this claim so often to stop truths and facts from coming to light. In other words, the use of the "racist" card has become a joke. True racism is in NO way a joke and should not be tolerated but the people who would so readily attack true racism should be as disgusted and vocal about the media's misuse of the racism card. This is one area I can respect Obama in his speaking out and denying that it is racist to simply oppose the health care bill/law as reported by most media outlets.
So, the very people who use the "Racism" claim because of the power it once carried have diminished it's effect by crying wolf far to often and turned the claim of racism (not the true act of racism) into a meaningless joke.All men are created equal but his choices determine his value and what's in his heart determines his worth.

The "Racist" card has been so over used and mis used in the last 1.5 years that it is no longer effective. In fact it is a common tactic for stopping any honest and thoughtful discussion based on facts and merits when someone is lacking the ability to provide factual support for ones position.
