20. I am in Oregon
Edited on Mon May-12-08 02:06 PM by DeschutesRiver
and as I've mentioned before - I know people here who firmly believe that black people have no business being in competition with them in any way, more less leading their country. They are no longer in the majority, which has whipped some of them up to a frenzy, not that anyone listens seriously to rants like that. It is the most stupid behavior you've ever seen adults engage in - there is absolutely nothing logical about their positions. It is almost sad to watch.

I've had enough contact with KY people to know this same mental disease infects a percentage of the people who live there as well. Heck, growing up while I was too young to read yet, those white folks only signs were still up, and quite a few of my people from Oklahoma had the same retarded beliefs. My parents sure did - and even as a young kid, I thought their opinions on race were whacked out. Told them so too. Made for lively days and nights at my house.

So my thoughts - in the real world, I don't spend time with reason resistant people like this, of any color (whites who bitch about blacks; blacks who bitch about whites; blacks who bitch about Asians; whites who bitch about latinos...). If I can't escape the racist talk, I start delivering my own opinions about it, until they leave.

If there are people voting based on pigment, I don't care about the results - because people who vote based on pigment first are backwards - don't care if it is white v. black, or a latino who picks latinos first based on their pigment. Pigment phobias are a plague on the earth. When I was young, I sought to change minds and hearts about this issue - because it never made a lick of sense to me. As an older women, true, I will still try to change hearts that seem willing to embrace a change; however, those who are esp. resistant I avoid. Because the world as they define it in the USA is going away - and if racists of any color want to keep on hanging out together, I'd prefer they do so and stay out of polite company.

A victory claimed by Hillary Clinton, based on her pandering to pigment challenged people, is something she should be embarassed about - at least if she had any good ambitions other than polluted personal ones. Imagine the thrill of a victory based on appealing to people's weaknesses, bias, and stupidity on economic matters. Wow, I am like so jealous..
