Do you not see the judgment in these types of statements? There are racial problems in every part of the world. To continue the stereotype of the South by portraying it in the view of the 60's and prior is to demean people who do not deserve it at all. I would say racism is just as bad in some large western and northern cities as it is in a small country town in Georgia. Before anyone denies that, yes, I have lived in cities in the North and the West.
Yes, I agree with this wholeheartedly. For you, Rosie, to place judgment on southerners is just as bad as judging someone on their race.
My comments were to point out that if we don't want race to be a factor...STOP BRINGING IT UP!!!!!
Nothing on Barack's own website states that he grew up poor, though his parents did, but it looks to me from his own bio that the poor factor didn't seem to be very important....since his parents met at the University of Hawaii, and Barack himself was able to live in different places around the world. Doesn't sound like a poor boy to me, Rosie.
If we want a raceless society, that means we have to create it...and the first step is to not create racial lines where there don't need to be any.
Barack supposedly has a campaign of mert and substance on his own....why, therefore, should his race play into it in any way?
And Rosie, you need to be really careful about accusing (or implying) people of being racist just because of where they live....
Since you lived in Georgia and was pointing out that this stuff doesnt exist, or shouldnt exist, that is all i was asking you!!!!!! I wasnt implying anything, except the fact that what you said in your first comment wasnt anything like your second. So maybe you should be careful how you word things!
