It aqll goes back to square one. If we can't wee people as living beings, created by God, and worth at least as much as ourselves, we have lost. People a measured by what they produce in life. Let the record of each individual stand on it's merits and defects.

heya!

interesting. it's always a rather large kettle of fish when the 'R' word is raised!
i think your approach is a good one: one's outlook upon others depends very much on background and experience. i've had the good fortune to travel a lot so i see people first. i'm sure that if i came out of high-school and got a job, my views on the world would be quite a bit narrower.
so i think that a good attack is simply facilitating contact between people so they end up saying, 'oh! that (insert race name here) guy's not so bad a fellow!'

good luck and welcome to thoughts.com!!
cheers!

That approach works well. I talk with everybody. Let them have their say. Some call me names. Some tell me I'm wrong. They can't say that I didn't allow them the floor. It's the only way that works. Just lay an issue out on the table and open it up to the light of day.

When people say they don't like OBama, what they mean is they don't like his thinking. Until black people, as well as democrats and liberals in general, understand that I reject the man's far-left ideals, not necessarily the man himself, we have nothing to talk about. Until people stop insisting that my loathing of Obama's socialized agenda is due to racism, we have nothing to talk about. Never in America's history has such a far-left, socialized-minded individual sat in the presidency. I don't like it. I never will. I don't give a hoot about his race, or what anyone thinks of my opinion.

As soon as a white person mentions anything negative about OBama, we're slapped down and accused of being racists. Don't tell me that white people are not willing to talk about important issues of our day. We are. We're simply not going to take punches in silence. Are you listening? I think not.
