That would be just about as ignorant as everything else you've said.

I'd expect white people, yellow people, green people, and martians would react negatively to someone who insults them to their face .. especially someone who has the perspective of a person who has lived all their life in a box.

If you insult me to my face because I'm black and you're not, you should expect that drama will ensue .. that is, after I'm done having fun with your ignorance.

What kind of pussy-man thinks he should be able to purposefully insult people to their face without consequence?

The very reason you resort to insults in the first place is because you don't have the intelligence to engage in civil conversation.

So republican of you.

Telling people that racial discrimination is wrong does not warrant a beatdown, not it any context. Are you gonna go L.A. Riot on our asses? Kill some innocent white bystanders because some pcp addict goes berzerk on six defenseless cops? shame on you.

Minorities are not a prize to be bandied about like a trophy. I can’t personally speak for why minorities and women overwhelmingly support Democrats and liberals. But, I give them credit for being smart enough to know where their best interests lie, and which institutions or political parties work against their interests. They know what they're doing, and why they vote the way they do.

The Democratic Party’s hierarchy, sadly, takes minorities and women for granted much of the time. I don’t disagree that the Party leadership is 80 percent white males. Which is indeed ironic, given that minorities and women are the backbone of the party; the voting bloc that keeps them in power.

But, you can’t spin your way out of the facts. Your party is, overwhelmingly a white party. And, to a large degree, a white party of Christians from the South and the bible belt. I realize there is a large contingent of embarrassed republicans who like to claim that the Democratic Party is equally to blame and equally responsible for everything from the Iraq War, the economic meltdown, and on issues of race and quality. But, that's just coming from a place of deep-seated embarrassement and projection.

I, for one, would be uncomfortable being in a nearly-all-white party. America comes in shades of brown, white, and black. Male and female in equal proportions. Gay and straight. It’s a melting pot, and I would definetly think there was something fundamentally wrong with a political party that only reflected the white, Christian heritage of America. You obviously, feel differently about diversity and equality, Spurt.



• All 42 African-American members of the House and Senate are Democrats.

• The LGBT community supports Democrats by about a 3-1 ratio. Both of the LGBT member of Congress are Democrats.

• Non-Christians support Democrats by a 3-1 ratio. Both Buddhists and both Muslims in Congress are Democrats.

• 40 of the 4 3 Jewish members of the House and Senate are Democrats.

• I'm also going to take a guess here and state that there are no publicly declared atheist Republicans in Congress.

• Latinos support Democrats by more than a 2-1 ratio. Twenty-one of the twenty-five Latino members of Congress are Democrats.

• More than 60% of Asian-American voters choose Democrats. All eight of the Asian-American members of Congress are Democrats.

• Union members, single women, and whites who self-identify their religion as either "none" or "other" than the main world denominations also vote for Democrats by more than 2-1 margins.

what an ignorant post....they are not trophies....yet you parade their numbers around as trophies and then conclude that this must mean i feel different about diversity and equality.....

pure bullshit....look at your fellow dems on this site who are in fact treating minorities as trophies....using it as a cudgel to hit the gop over the head with....many libs here are touting the fact that since the democratic party has more minorities as members, though your party leadership is all white, six old white males and one female, that this must mean the gop is racist or is not about equality or diversity......

fact is, bush's cabinent was diverse, he nominated the first hispanic AG, yet somehow because more minorities join the dem party, this means the gop is racist.....stupid logic

It amazes me how there can be a 600 lb gorrilla in the room and people like you can just ignore it.

The most obvious evidence of entrenched racist policy in Republican party platform is that of supporting tax policies that reward investment over waged incomes. One of the main purposes of shifting the burden of taxation on wage earners is that it reinforces the economic disparity in minority communities that are mostly wage earners and makes it that much more difficult for minorities and minority communities to create wealth through hard work and effort.
