Uh, you do know freedom of speech doesn't apply on a PRIVATE website right?

The 1st Amendment only protects you from the FEDERAL Government infringing upon your right to speak your mind.

Wow...you really do get the winner of the day award. So history as it has been written from MANY sources is all wrong because your "common sense" ?

Reading your posts is starting to hurt my brain.

You don't realize what you are getting in trouble for on a PRIVATE website but you want us to buy into your "anti-jew" "common sense"?

As far as the racist undertones are concerned, there is never justification. By rationalizing the use of "them and they" and then comparing it to Obama, you merely lower yourself to a racist standpoint. Yes, his remarks could be construed as racist, but that does not justify following in those footsteps. Just because someone else does it, does not mean that there is no accountability for personal actions. Racism is racism, regardless how you rationalize it. Riots are caused by anger due to a frustrating situation. We would rather label racism and the poor as the problem, instead of looking at the mechanisms that perpetuate the disparities.

For the riots, there won't be any. Have you looked around at the state of our country? We are in a state of learned helplessness. There may be a few individuals here and there who cause a small ruckus, but large scale riots are not going to happen. We haven't rioted by now, we're not going to in the near future. The population at large knows that our votes don't matter, but we live in a comfortable country. We would rather be able to go buy our iphones, than start riots in the streets. In my opinion, the average American just doesn't have that revolutionary spirit anymore. Most of us would rather be badly fed and slightly comfortable, than living free but lacking the luxuries which we have become accustomed to. Only time will tell of course, I just don't think this election will be any different than the previous, just my opinion.

Pointing out fact is never racist, and people that designate it as such are simply weak minded morons who cannot comprehend the unpleasant truth.

I have been called racist numerous times for pointing out the disparity in violent crime rates, welfare rates, and other proven facts that reflect negatively on the black community.

Instead of attacking the messenger, people would do themselves a world of good by addressing the problem instead.

Most people who cry Racism usually do so out of self insecurities about how they, themselves feel about the issue.

The problem with rioting is that the rioters don't stay on task. They tend to take side trips to vandalize, loot, rape, and murder.

What these things have to do with protesting eludes me..

There will be riots?

Most of my american friends of color would probably utter to me a 'told you so'.

I read somewhere that something like 1 million legally 'cast' ballots in the US 2004 Presidential election where illegally rejected - using engineered electoral tactics which largly target by race and class.

What would make dissenfranchised dissapointment so different this time around
