myself in their shoes...i wont judge women either usually, though when it comes to Sarah Palin and a few others I admit i have


I think the Gay republicans are crazy but, oops, but I wont judge them either, not Gay, have no idea why they do that but they have had to deal with shit I cant even imagine

I hate Clarence Thomas with a passion, but I shouldnt because I cant judge him either

Maybe my idea that other people who are Gay or Black or Latino being allowed to judge when I cant is wrong too, I just know I am not going to judge someone who I cant put my self in their place

That was my point, maybe i wasnt very good at expressing it, dont know

in one case I know who I am criticizing, in the other I have no idea what was done to him as a Black man in America, to make him be this fucked up and he is fucked up

Sean Hannity has NO excuse, he has benefited from racism, had most everything handed to him, so I judge him and quickly...



Being that I am a white man, who has benefited from racism like all white people, I try and resist judging those who I cant possibly walk in their shoes.

Maybe what I am doing is racist, not being willing to judge him, could be.

I dont know


(but off the record and since nobody is watching, the guy pisses me off to no end, I see his fucking commercials on Rachel's show and I yell at the tv so loud my wife thinks I am having my 3rd heart attack)

7. It's not really necessary to understand what Carson had to go through as a Black man in America

Are you bothering to wonder what Hannity had to go through as a White man in America?

It's seems that if you're applying a double standard according to race against the two.

There is absolutely no point in doing that.

Repigs have turned off their ability to think; it's so much easier to leave that to their superiors.
