have you ever wondered to yourself why is it so bad to be a racist? most people are by the medias standards, as a white person you are more inclined to move to a neighbourhood that is white, and as a coloured person you are more inclined to move to a neighbourhood that is coloured, castes stick together!!, black comedians slur the white man and vice versa, whilst as a white man i must respect a coloured mans history and ethnicity i must not single him out because of his colour or creed, i have no hatred of ethnic people, i treat each person as an individual. why is it so wrong to disagree with homosexuality?, we do not have hetrosexual march's, once again i treat everyone as an individual, it is however all of these groups who wish to be treated as a whole, but we are not allowed to do this or we are accused of generalising, it confuses a lot of people, and unfortunately this results in despair and eventually hate, but it is their own free choice what they think and should not be critisised for what they choose to think, would you rather vote for a man who thinks gook or 'n-word' (a hateful and disrespectful word) or honky but does not let you know this or would you rather they were honest. i am a bastard (in the true essence of the word), when i hear people complaining about how their religon or race or whatever has been slandered i often hear people use this word, with no thought as to its meaning or how it may offend people born out of wedlock that their position may be used as an insult, you should all think about these things and truly ask yourself, is it so bad to be a bigot, its whether you act on it is what makes you a bad person

A corrolation. You hear some black people call each other 'n-word', you use it and you're in deep. I see it the same way with gay folks. If some want to use those terms, fine.

I can not tolerate racial, gender, enthnic intolerance. I am intolerant of intolerance

I believe its the difference in cultural norms that have each other at odds, not skin color.

Nothing else matters.
Osama will support the anti-gun crowd/NWO/communists.
A vote for Osama is a vote for muslim/NWO and the destruction of the USA.

I have kept current with Detroits Mayor, the cities issues etc. As best I can tell you have a corrupt Mayor and some real economic issues in detroit. Because he is Black has little to do with it. I would be up for days straight listing more corrupt white politicians.
The Mayor of detroit had an affair with an associate, lied about it under oath, abused his power etc etc. Elliot Spitzer was a paying customer of a prostitute ring while having built a career on busting up organized crime. Race has nothing to do with it.
