"How many Democrats in Congress voted to abolish slavery?"
Yet, Blacks to this day think the dems are their saviors?
how many former kkk members are in the senate? what two senators took part in waitress sandwiches? what former senator couldn't answer the question when asked, im pregnant, what should i do, he simply said we will cross that bridge when we get to it. and he didn't make it over the bridge. who was dukais' lt. governor? hint, he called our troops baby killers. how many senators already have a monument with thier name on it at a cemetary, hint he was appointed by a impeached governor for a child like president. oh wait, this is republican heritage not democrat, sorry, my bad.
The author omitted a more recent and relevant question. Which senatorial candidate from Kentucky stated that he wanted to repeal the section of the Civil Rights Act which prevented private businesses which were open to the public from discriminating? Next question. What party is he from? Let me help you out, no one cares what a major political party in America did 150 years ago. It is the current stances on the issues which should be the determining factor.
democrats/progressives have gone to great lengths to distort history.
Progressivism = Totalitarianism
Progressivism = Totalitarianism
It was DEMOCRATS that institutionalized slavery.
It was DEMOCRATS who commissioned medical professionals to proclaim that "excessive amounts of carbon in the bodies of Negroes" was the reason for their skin color and inferiority. (why do they still have a problem with the benign element Carbon)
It was DEMOCRATS that did not like the 1860 election of abolitionist REPUBLICAN Lincoln.
It was DEMOCRATS that seceded from the Union before he was even sworn in.
It was DEMOCRATS that did not like the outcome of that war so they set up a shadow government in many states, mainly the South, but many in the North too.
It was DEMOCRATS that formed their own army, the KKK. REPUBLICANS were hanged by the hundreds right alongside the Negroes, usually in the same tree. It was DEMOCRATS that set up Jim Crow laws in the South to further subjugate the Negroes.
It was DEMOCRAT President Wilson that conducted several private screening in the White House of the film "Birth of A Nation", the most savage racist product I have ever heard of.
It was also DEMOCRAT President Wilson that so admired the Progressive movement's Margret Sanger's eugenics research (number of black babies aborted far exceeds those of other demographics)
It was also DEMOCRAT President Wilson that re-segregated the military after it had been fully integrated by the Republicans in the 1870s.
It was DEMOCRATS that fawned all over Hitler, and his National Socialist Democrat Party and prevented the US from preparing for WW2.
It was DEMOCRATS that blocked three attempts during the Eisenhower Administration for comprehensive civil-rights legislation.
It was DEMOCRATS that blocked the doors to Negro school children in Topeka, Little Rock, Montgomery and elsewhere.
It was DEMOCRATS Bull Conner and George Wallace that loosed the fire hoses. It was REPUBLICAN Eisenhower that sent Federal troops to stop DEMOCRATS ONLY with the force of arms!
It is DEMOCRATS that encourage black voters with handouts a life of bare subsistence on welfare – the new slaves of the new slave owners .
Oh, haven't you heard? Those dimocrats were really republicans, and the republicans were really dimocrats and then everyone switched parties. At least that's what the liberal trolls always say. I think they might be full of crap, though.
You are correct. I look at what the Progressive Left is currently doing to this country and I could care less about what evils the democrats did in the past. The current actions ECLIPSE all previous outrages
"It is the current stances on the issues which should be the determining factor."
That's why Nov 2nd will be the start of crash and burn for the dems/progs.
It was a democrat(Vice President Biden) who called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a "smartass" after the man asked him to lower taxes.
Yes. The "progressive left" is just quaking in their shoes over Rand Paul and Sharron Angle. As far as the economy goes, the Dow is only up about 60% since early 2009.
Don't you all know that we are not allowed to discuss the dems position on slavery? Now all the libs will call us rightwing nutjobs.
Oh wait… They already do.
The left will always demonize any conservative that speaks out – as racist. That's the only tool they know how to use when confronted by truth and facts. Of course, they try to say it's the same old failed policies of the past too. But look what we've accomplished using the progressive method. Car sales dropped off after the give away. Home sales are dropping again and foreclosures are back on the rise. More people are buried in their mortgages and we spent only a trillion to get that done. Great job progressives. I am sure the 15 million unemployed are delighted.

Y0u just destroyed this nutcase with a bunker-buster bomb. Nice kill.
Hmmm. Which is a bigger deal? Calling someone a name or refusing to serve someone based upon race?
Wow! I feel so enlightened now. This should bolster the Repuplicans ("pup" was intentional) and help guide them as they steer the ship of state to calmer waters. Trivia is SO important when you are engaged in a philosophical war with a relentless enemy who plays "no holds barred" and possesses the moral compass of a virus (which he resembles in key ways). Yes, it is good, vital even, to know history. But it is only a collection of names, dates and facts if it is not understood within the context of a coherent and consistent philosophy.
1) What is the central tenet regarding the founding of this nation?
a) We're all in it together, so gimme, gimme, gimme
b) If the consensus believes it, it must be true
c) Some people are more equal than others
d) We are all born (individually) with inalienable rights, and the government is here to enforce the law against those who would violate the rights of others, and is not allowed to deprive any citizen their rights without due process of law, i.e., "the rights of man" (and of course, the ladies too…)
2) Welfare is a bad collection of policies because:
a) It represents the violation of an individual's right to what they have earned and gives an unearned benefit to a stranger (and possible illegal).
b) distorts the market and hampers the economy by artificially inflating prices for those who do not receive a subsidy, while simultaneously depriving the market of capital that would have been put to more productive use.
c) it creates an ever growing entitlement mentality and destroys the underlying premise of the American social contract, as well as the individual work ethic.
d) is used by dishonest politicians (redundant) as a means of garnering votes to perpetuate and advance their elective careers.
e) all of the above
Multiculturalism is a vehicle for
a) all of the World's people to come together and hold hands.
b) a noble statement that all cultures are of equal value and that we should all feel esteemed no matter what dirt hole we are from.
c) expanding University payrolls and selling books to the gullible
d) the Left (commies, socialist, fascists… etc) to divide and conquer. A means to blur the meaning of the word individual and a process for "organizing" individuals into competing groups and warring factions so the "elites" can then deign which group has earned what rights, and at whose expense.
I could go on for pages, but you get my drift…
Typical idiotic response to a valid point. Ignore the point and start calling names. As far as "destroying" the country, who borrowed nearly one trillion dollars from the RED CHINESE to finance a war based upon deliberately skewed intelligence? Tough question to answer, isn't it.
And a AFL-CIO ECONOMIST who called Cavuto an asshole on live TV last week. I guess his ECONOMICS DEGREE is from the George Meany NLC although they do not offer an Economics Degree. Or did his education come from a small office in the ISLANDS? Below is admission substandards for the NLC.
"Applicants may be admitted to the College in one of three ways – with full admission provisionally, or as special students.
If it is determined that a person has at least 56 hours of credit earned either through College attendance or experiential learning, he/she may be granted full admission.
Students who do not meet the 56 credit-hour requirement, but hold a high school diploma or General Equivalency Diploma (GED) may be admitted provisionally. Provisionally admitted students will be advised by College administrators as to the appropriate steps need to achieve full admission to the program. "
Let US start using the Acorn chant for US, "No Justice, No Peace". I think the left would flip.

Here's the 'progressive left' for ya. Good ol' Woodrow Wilson, progressive dimocrat president, racist, sexist, piece a shit. Same as progs today. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGdE9mGCdMr4QA3BdXNyo...
And just where do you think we would be if the nation's largest banks had all failed? Warren Buffett has said our unemployment would be over 30%. Oh, I know you will quote some lesser individual. When they have his track record, then I will listen.
How about giving a job to someone based solely on race, how's that one workin' out, racist?
And why is the jackass Obama doubling down on the whole shootin match ? Why aren't you bitchin at him, racist?
It may not occur to someon with as limited intelligence as yourself, but people can disagree about the proper role of government without being racist. For example, what if the government required everyone to marry and have kids with someone of a different race with the intent of ending racism. It might work, but it would clearly be going too far. So the question is, where do you draw the line? Or, do you (as I suspect) just support whatever the liberals say without thinking too much about it?
Again based on your logic that has no relevance since Obama is currently large and in charge. Oh by the way he continues to borrow trillions to finance said wars in addition to the multitude of union and other special interest kickbacks..
Without the govermnet involvement we would be much better off. I just don't buy into the propaganda. How is that hope and change working for you?
He's not a racist, he's actually a……………
I know, we shouldn't be feeding this twit.
kind of like the north and south poles switching.
What a good little serf you are, Husky Honey. We don't serve them, They serve us.
And….let's continue forward….Hussein more than doubled this amount since becoming King of the United States. Talk about deliberately skewed intelligence. But I've seen this little troll game played out by you repeatedly and funny how it shows up in your reputation. Go clean the feces off your bow rug.
- Vice President Biden called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a "smartass" after the man asked him to lower taxes. –
"Typical idiotic response to a valid point. Ignore the point and start calling names."
I think you just called the Vice President an idiot.
Well then, Huckster and I agree on ONE thing.
Sorry, but that would be against the law.
George Bush was POTUS 150 years ago. Now that is a new one.
Thanks for proving mine with that non answer, racist.
What kinda stupid idiotic comment is that, racist ? Do you have a point?
Now are you a racist parrot ? Wanna cracker with that kool-aid, racist?
I don't get why no one pointed out Rand Paul has never talked about repeal. So I guess the question is which party can contain a more bigoted straw man?
No, that is the racist law supported by racist dimocrats. It's called 'affirmative action', I'm sure you've heard of it, racist.
1. is D. 2. is E. 3. is all the above. You forget to include it. Otherwise excellent.
isn't it up to the kentucky voters to decide if rand paul is what they are looking for? also, 150 years ago the constitution did not have anything in it about killing babies, but it was found in 1973, today there is nothing in the constitution that allows the federal government make it manditory that all us citizens purchase something, just because they are here. i do know, i can see november from my house, and it says socialists need not apply!
Here are the facts:
January 2007 Dow Jones: 12,463 (Bush 's economy)
January 2nd, 2008 Dow Jones: 13,338.23 ( Bush's legacy to Obama)
January 20, 2009 Dow Jones: 8279.00 ( Ofumbles idiotic policy of instituting Islamic Index into DJ)
60% doesn't even cut it.
Hmm…Paul Rand does NOT want to put racism back in the private business industry, for anyone with a brain the size of a pea would know that people would boycott racist businesses nowadays. As a LIBERTARIAN, he strongly believes that government should stay completely out of the private industry, and believes that portion of the Civil Rights Act of '64 should be repealed. This is not a big deal at all. Good try though.
STANDING O !………………."go on for pages"……..please do!
Not only did the Democrats vote against the abolition of slavery, but after the civil war the Republican controlled Congress granted voting rights to the freed slaves. When the Democrats later reclaimed control of Congress, they abolished those rights. I find it absolutely stupifying how the blacks in this country bow down to the Democrat party, a party that has historically screwed them, and who keeps them in "slavery" today with their withering entitlement programs (' I'm going to get money from Obama's stash') that have all but destroyed the black culture.
"The author omitted a more recent and relevant question…"
"More" relevant? The previous questions were 'irrelevant?' Not only were they relevant but little has changed other than, now, the Liberal Left can no longer disguise their malevolence.
ok, nobody got it, byrd democrat, dodd and kennedy, democrats both, one has since past on, the other is retiring. kennedy again, he never could drive over that bridge, poor mary. kerry, who served in vietnam, and is a democrat. burris, also a democrat, with a monument.
Hmmm. It was all built on smoke and mirrors, wasn't it. I have one better. In Warren Buffett's 2002 newsletter he warned of the danger the derivatives posed to our economy. Who was in the White House and did not listen?
Which highly revered ( by only stupid people and Dems ; same things ) late and unlamented Senator, who was also a well known drunk, sexual pervert, and murderer made contact with the KGB and premier of the USSR, pledging to do all in his power to subvert and undo American policies ?
Which DEM presidents' policies helped to cause the housing mess?
Which Dem president not only believed that Saddam had WMDs, but whosze entire caninet did as well ?
And before you start to post any more DNC talking points, banal gibberish, and flagrant ad hominems, you should educate yourself about actual, factually correct, unbiased recent American history; husksfor brains.
Really, now. I guess you watched a different interview. I watched the one from the Louisville Courier, you watched the softball on Faux News.
Oh, I see, the anti-choice card.
Huskersuxbo. Any comments to these wonderful Democrat footntes added by kitman3?
Warren does know how to look afer himself.
The R's freed the slaves, the Dems keep us all in slavery!!
With many stocks trading at their lowest point, or gone, gold at a remarkable high, as is silver, IPOS no longer being done here, but in European markets, due to DEM rules, and new DEM rules to be inflicted, which most assuredly WILL cost you, husksfcorbrains, and the American economy greatly.
It is blatantly obvious that you have little to no understanding of American financial markets; ergo, you should refrain from talking about the topic.
I think your literary comprehension is lacking, Huskers, because that is not at all what Rand Paul was suggesting. Maybe you need to re read what was said because there is a difference between private and public. For example, the Fraternal Order of Police is an organization for retiree and or working police officers, in your view a person off the street(non-police person)should be able to enter the organization. The private club F.O.E. is another example, both places have the right to refuse service to ANYONE. The problem starts when we mix up private and public. The Gov. has make it a law that a bar tender has the right to refuse service to a customer, DOCTOR Rand Paul was pointing out that distinction with the 10th amendment to the Civil Rights Act.
Only got three out of five. Missed #3 and #4. Better get back to the history books. BTW, if Black Americans discovered the truth, would they really care? They have been fed the dim pap for over one hundred years. How many even know that Lincoln was a republican?
All I have heard for years is it's Whitey's fault. There, as yet, has not been a clear distinction made between the dims and repubs. And I'm sure the LSM will not clarify the situation unless prodded with a pitchfork.
I assume that the history books currently adorning high school library book shelves are lacking these facts(haven't been at a high school lib in years). Back in the day, one had to really dig out the factual history from dusty tomes hidden in the dark recesses of the stacks in large city libraries.
However, due to modern technology and the Internet, information is only a few key strokes away and will remain available until the govt takes over and declares it to be inappropriate since it is not PC.
That was done in the SOUTH, by DEMS, a very long time ago; not within the past 1/2 century.
The writer of this comment neglected to notice that the key words in this article are "Republican Heritage", hence history is a key aspect of this article.
Yes, because writers on a conservative blog have to gear their writings to appease liberal contrarians. Get out of here.
I'm not arguing about some of Bush's decisions BUT the economy was strong compared to what this -soup kitchen-idiot-in chief has done with his 'no-experience" catastrophic spending. Our debt has quadrupled while stick man golfs and plays.
i am not anti choice, i am pro choice, the choice is life. oh, you mean you are pro death, i see. next thing you are going to say you are a independant, or a moderate. moderates and independants are just coward liberals. they want to vote to kill babies, they just don't want to have that stigma of being a democrat socialist hanging around thier neck. they hate this country, they just don't want thier neighbors to think ill of them. do you know what happens to a moderate chicken? he gets hit in the middle of the road, because he does not know what side to be on.
No, in hindsight I should have added "e) both c an d above". The best available answer is?
An interesting fact as relates to the first paragraph of the article. Years ago, the Denocratic Party had a rallying cry: "Save our land, join the Klan". Evidently, it caught Bob Byrds attention.
History has erased that factoid.
faux news, oh for fake news i watch cnn or msnbc. for real news, i just go to drudge, or breitbart. why don't you go over to huffington post, that is where you will fit right in. just remember to bring the tin foil, and say hi to arianna, ask her if she loves the baby killer party?
It was George Bush who bailed out the banks and I hope you'll now stop saying that he left us a 1.3 trillion deficit when he left office because even you have said the bail out worked and the TARP money was returned with interest. Warren Buffet has also said that we need to stop the deficit spending, I think that has been on your watch, Mr. Dimwit.
"Oh, I see, the anti-choice card."
That's right and, lucky for you, your Mama didn't leave home without it.
It was the DEMOCRAT agent John Wilkes Booth that assassinated Lincoln, it was the DEMOCRATS that used religion to convince slaves that remaining on the plantation was their lot in life (think Jim Wallis, as a present example). It was the DEMOCRAT Andrew Johnson that institutionalized slavery. It was the DEMOCRATS the killed MLK!
THE CIVIL WAR HAS NEVER ENDED!
History IS important and knowing it well, would preclude the American populace from buying the lies of the DEM candidates and calling all candidates out, should they make specious claims.
Your "drift" is pointless; not to mention inane, incoherent, and nonexistant. HOW SO ? Because candidates don't talk about,let alone run on the irritants you posted. By dredging up factual history, it would give GOP candidates a great jumping-off point, upon which to build. It would also destroy centuries of now believed lies told by spinmiesters.
The fact that GOPers used to call themselves "THE PARTY OF LINCOLN", with great regularity, reinforced, in blacks' minds, why they were, for the most part, staunch REPUBLICANS; which extended through Nixon's two successful presidential runs.
You've yet to make a point, so just whom are you thanking for what?
Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe?
"Which senatorial candidate from Kentucky stated that he wanted to repeal the section of the Civil Rights Act which prevented private businesses which were open to the public from discriminating?"
Answer: None.
You *think* the answer is Rand Paul, because you are peddling the conscious lies and misrepresentation the leftist smear machine has concocted regarding what Paul actually said.
"It is the current stances on the issues which should be the determining factor."
Quite right. Which party, today, favors legally-mandated discrimination on the basis of race in hiring, promotion and education?
And who developed and sold real-estate derivatives? The Democrat run Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They intentionally hid subprime mortgage products in MBSs, and when they inevitably failed, left the rest of us, you included, holding the bag. Which we're still filling, btw, and has specifically not been addressed in the current "financial reform" legislation. GWB tried to reform those two, as it was evident even in 2003 that what they were doing was unsustainable, but Teddy Kennedy and Barney Frank, to name two, made sure that went nowhere.
I can point to 17 attempts by the Bush admin to get Congress to rein in Fannie and Freddie before they imploded- thwarted every time by Frank and Dodd.
I love this list. Thank you. It will be printed out and distributed amongst some of these progressive people that I have tolerated listening to for the last 2 years. Maybe on some trees late at night before the mid terms.
I doubt huskerdingdong could answer any of your questions HONESTLY!
That is hilarious, peteee363. You know it's a slow day when you're responding to your own comments.
FANTASTIC COMMENT, JUST MARVELOUS!
Hell copper, I'm putting it on their doors!
Your love affair with buffy is quite telling – hint to the brain dead huskerdingdong, buffy is in it for himself – read it and weep fool –
why are you here anyway? making a few dimes to buy your beer?!
keep going, it's great entertainment watching you implode at every turn – ah, the pointless rambling of a kool aid drinker, priceless -
Oh, but I made them SO easy to answer…………………..correctly and the topics are all within recent memory !
Yet, you're correct, the factually correct answer would stick in his/her/its craw.
Whoa–that was some kind of comment!
I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about SuckersForBO. lol
well, with all the taxes, they are making claims against more and more of or property. soon, we will have to pay them to work. the city, county, state and feds, all want to stake a claim on everything, what happens when we, atm's run out of cash, do they sell us off to china to work in slave labor camps to pay off our debt to them?
Did I mention today how much I despise kool aid drinkers???
Should'nt the "black" conservatives be using these talking points plus all that kitman3 wrote above. Maybe Michael Steele has no idea what this is all about? Maybe a lot of progressives who call us rascists should get this in the mail? Maybe a lot of inner city newspapers should print these facts? Maybe all of the above and more.
Ooh! A little "Red bait" for the GaltFan? Sorry, I demeaned "trivia", not the importance of knowing history. Perhaps you should read more carefully –
"…vital even, to know history. But it is only a collection of names, dates and facts if it is not understood within the context of a coherent and consistent philosophy." How did you miss that? I presume you are smart enough to agree?
"By dredging up factual history…" and not placing it in the context of the Founding philosophy, candidates are merely making emotional pronouncements about "better times" without providing REASON as a foundation for their ideas and observations. Nope, simply "argument" the way you would have it, and arguments are easily shifted when there is no understanding of the underlying philosophies of the differing sides. That is why so many successful campaigns are based on emotional rhetoric and empty platitudes.
Despite your piss-poor (failed) attempt to insult me, your reply actually buttresses my point quite nicely. If you wish to insult me in the future you will have to try much harder than the pathetic attempt above. Sorry you didn't enjoy the quiz…
Printed out in 12 x 18 and glued to the Democratic headquarters main window here in my town for all to read. I live in a blue state and time for these people to "repent" as Leonard Cohen sang.
A) I don't see where colasguy called anyone any names, except Progressive Left, and if that's name calling, then how sad are you with your identity crisis?
B) You can say idiot, but we can't say nutcase? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, hypocrite…oops, sorry for the redundancy, I forgot, you're most likely a democrat, same thing.
C)To answer your question in terms YOU'RE asking….NOT George Bush. Congress did the borrowing and the authorizing for war, and if any intel was skewed, see the intel department, cause they seem to have skewed it for the entire world.
D) We didn't spend a TRILLION dollars on the war in one fell swoop, if we spent that much at all, and if we had of, it's in defense of our country, remember? Oh, I forgot, you're a Democrat and think all our enemies will be scared to attack us if we just lay down our arms, and don't shoot back, or fight back, or even scowl very hard. Uh, where was that successful, again, I forget?
"soup kitchen-idiot-in chief "
lol

Hey Alpha, nice to see you're having a good time. "racist parrot"? Priceless…
XO ;^)
Doesn't the public schools teach that Lincoln was a Republican? And the KKK was not formed by him?
The import of slaves into the USA was halted on Jan 1 1808. I wonder why no one knows. Why don't blacks celebrate that day? It was agreed upon at the Constitution's signing, I think.
I knew Michelle was going to rewrite history for the USA, but didn't know she had gotten to that part. What's with Democrat rewriting history anyway? They must not like that Wilson was an abject racist and don't want anyone to know.
Well you know those governors in the south that MLK was marhing against? They sure weren't Republican governors.
Man do we need a history lesson, real history lesson.
That was KKK Byrd wasn't it Bo….ohhh wait it was Lester Maddox…no no…ummmman you got me there BO Husky
You obviously don't get out in the world. There are racist businesses all over the country NOW and they aren't boycotted, they're PATRONIZED. Papa Patron Pizza, Fiesta Grocery, the list goes on and on, right down to all the little mom and pop grocery stores where a white man takes his life in his hands going. I can remember going into stores as a kid where they didn't speak English, right here in the middle of Dallas, and having some guy tell me, "hey, kid, you better scoot, you don't belong here". All we, or Rand Paul, or anyone else along these lines is saying, is that it's wrong to make it illegal for ONE race to be guilty of racially profiling, of racial crimes, when it's BLACKS who commit ten times the amount of racially motivated crime, Mexicans who commit eight times (down here it's been called out at 15 times) the racially motivated crimes as whites. They kidnap and kill thousands along our borders to as far north as Phoenix, Sacramento, Oklahoma City, and North Carolina. His point of staying out is to stop making hate crime laws, where it's more illegal to be white than black or any other race.
No, not yet today, but we agree about that !
Well said.
I'd just like to point out that one of the things we argue about in here is split along these lines, too, or almost. There were some exceptions, but for the most part, those in the South who fought for the states rights issue were against slavery, but they were also against the increasingly encroaching power of the Federal Government. There were many divisions, and many who were stalwart opposites who had to choose to fight on the same side or against each other, simply because they considered slavery more important so they fought for the North, or state's rights more important, so they fought for the South. The phrase "brother against brother", spoke not just of families, but of those in long-held belief systems who had to choose, or who were told they had no choice. It has always been the conservatives on the side of individual freedom, liberty, and equality of opportunity, and the progressive who was for the side of governmental control, redistribution of wealth, and equal outcome, regardless of input. But that is only the lie they tell you. It's not equality they seek, but dominance for them, those who think they know better how to live, so they can tell the masses.
3. d.
A much grittier quiz….kudos to you! ;^)
Dang right!
Too many freaks, not enough circuses. We're doomed!
mmm…You'll have to tell me. I know Rand Paul has stated he doesn't agree with that section of the Civil Rights Act. I know he has also stated he is NOT in favor of repealing it.
So, what is the answer?
I hate to break this to you Red but Blacks DID NOT go for Nixon in either of the '68 or '72 …YOU may want to learn some history yourself….
Eventhough you probably do remember Lincoln….er the "Party of Lincoln" days…..
GaltFan has good points….Even at your advanced age, what are you now, like 95?, you could learn… Nah,..Probably not…

Well, I know that there are companies that have "reverse racism" as well, so trust me, I do get out in the world. But the liberal commenting on here probably doesn't know that racism exists against white people. I see a lot more people boycotting companies that exhibit "racism" against minorities (when that may not even be their intentions) than I do for people boycotting companies that exhibit "reverse racism", which is what my post was directed towards. But don't get me wrong, your post is right. Sorry for not being more specific in mine.
