I know there is a lot of racism in the South. i would also say that it's more prevalent in rural America. They seem to be content with this fact.
There's a lot of racism here in Ohio, too. I've gotten racism from both blacks and whites here. It doesn't help that my mom's side of the family is white trash and I lived with them for about a decade. Ugh.

Funny how as I read Duck's comments, nothing is being said about his comments about "blacks being happy under Jim Crow." It appears the value of discussion about homosexuality and Duck's comments superceded the other horrendous remarks he made about the "Godless Japanese" etc
Hence me wondering why a lot of people in the media focused on his comments about homosexuals and less concerned about the fact that he believed blacks where he lived were happy about being under Jim Crow.

What is your ethnicity? Or to which ethnic culture do you align yourself with?
I'm mixed. I'm grey.

Charlie talking about his ex-wife?

It's hypocritical, in my opinion to highlight the negate views and commentary of a person, when you yourself, hold comparable, negate views.
O'Connor takes that jab at his faith, as if it's acceptable to do so. I find it hypocritical. Not that I'm defending Robertson. I'm simply irritated by this projection - that it's okay to take jabs at people through commentary, as if they are less intelligent and inferior and to call their views outdated and ignorant.
I don't find Robertson's views to be any worse (particularly since they're pretty well known) than the jabs that O'Connor and Margary have taken.
Ugly is ugly. Robertson is obviously being held accountable for airing his opinion. I take no issue criticizing O'Connor and Margary.

Um ok. I was asking because you mentioned you facing "racism" from whites and blacks and I was curious.
Mmmhmm. A lot of blacks and whites have a problem with accepting mixed people. Too white for the blacks and too black for the whites.

What? That's been my experience with a lot of people.

You cannot support freedom by ignoring efforts against freedom. Freedom must have limits. For freedom to exist there must be boundary and domain between individuals. Efforts to subbort the freedoms of others within their own domain needs to be called out as such or the cause for freedom in general is diminished.

This is the key....For many Americans who support this guy, they keep screaming "Free Speech" but the fact remains, "all speech isn't free."
