    Liberals think they can change human nature. Racism is part of the human makeup. It is an instinct born from tribal instinct thousands of years ago and it is impossible to eliminate.

    As a free people, we have instilled constitutional rights for every american citizen and those rights are protected by laws. practicing racism is not a crime, it is part of the human condition and it only becomes a crime when it leads to a violation of someone else's constitutional rights.

    Liberals try to use mind control to eliminate it and this is totalitarian.

    Wrong, so wrong, and fortunately, dinosaurs like you are dying off. My son is dating a beautiful black woman, the young are a future to a better world because they don’t believe the bs you spew. They embrace the human race.

    How about you? Would you be black for a day? Why won’t you answer the question? I sincerely doubt you would.

    What would it accomplish? Can I be any black person? Can I be Caucasian for a day too?

    Hey, I've got an idea, how about we just be ourselves?

    She's interesting, is she not? A bit different experience when the audience is primarily black, though...but she does deliver a most powerful message.
    That racism is learned. Odd that she would chose to kick around a group of young children as part of the experiment...and then suggest a similar project... that people spend the day as a person of another color....she is fascinating...
    So....How do you think we get everyone else on board? ..."We could destroy it (racism), if we had to. But that would take education."
    What about that "human race concept"? When do our children start to learn that? When does racism begin

    Hispanics isn’t a race, it’s an ethnicity and you are either white, or black, generally. There is no Hispanic race.

    The question still stands and you are still dodging it.

    Really? Mexicans aren't "people of color"? Then why do libs accuse conservatives of "hating brown people" when we oppose illegal immigration?

    No, I wouldn't be black for a day. For one thing, it would accomplish nothing, for another, it's not truly possible. It's just another idiotic hypothetical "gotcha" talking point by leftist loons.

    ...and she bites like a fish on a worm.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Have you shared what your background or ethnicity is before? (honest question)

    Yes, I have. I am a Mexican American, third generation. My grandparents on both sides immigrated to the United States legally.
