I'm Lew Scannon, and i was raised a rich black child. I was the only white guy who the "blacks" understood....WTF, are you the white guy running for office trying to let everyone know how much those “colored” folks liked you? Just shut up. Your as white as white gets. <BR/>Tell the folks why you were working in agriculture that year…tell them, and stop making it look like you were the odd guy out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-58234037392762038012008-05-18T09:38:00.000-07:002008-05-18T09:38:00.000-07:00"There are also people who are voting for Hillary ..."There are also people who are voting for Hillary solely because of her gender, which is as sexist as the opposite."<BR/><BR/>Just like there are black people voting for Obama solely because of his race, and I can't really blame them. This reminds me of "Native Americans vs. Jews: Who Had It Worse?" argument. <BR/><BR/>The much easier question is, "Who has it the easiest?"<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it's really useful to compare injustices, tit-for-tat. <BR/><BR/>The world is not where it should be.

They'd never burn a cross or talk about the KKK -- that's much too undignified. But the hatred and small-mindedness was there.<BR/><BR/>Actually, there was one black family in town. The father was a state judge and both of his kids went to private schools because of too much harrassment at the local public school. One year (1967) our foreign exchange student was from South Vietnam. With all the taunts she had to endure, she probably couldn't wait to get back home.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-50119997533033283102008-05-15T23:57:00.000-07:002008-05-15T23:57:00.000-07:00North Dakota is racist as hell too.

She would make a really shitty president) But there are people who <I>won't </I> vote for Obama because of his race. This is disturbing for a party that is supposed to be progressive.<BR/> I will admit there is still sexist pigs in this world, nor has sexism entirely gone away, but the strides that feminism have made out pace any steps the Civil rights movement has made.Lew Scannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788033661013005904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-6303535715359749632008-05-15T12:45:00.000-07:002008-05-15T12:45:00.000-07:00Lew, is this really true?
