(919 posts)I cannot believe there are still people out there with such small, narrow minds.

(20,805 posts)...I'm sorry but in the 21st century there is NO EXCUSE for tolerating that sort of hatred and blind bigotry..
Anthony McCarthy
(507 posts)This is what the Republican Party has relied on for the past four years. And it lost them the election. I say let them lose the 2014 mid-terms too.

(3,491 posts)that the '08 election signalled some kind of "post-racial" America. I could only laugh at the preposterous nature of the phrase.

(23,295 posts)than I've seen in a long time. Such good, moral people. It's heartwarming.
I just have to add this: Can you imagine, the President of the United States has to wake up every morning and explain to his daughters why people are screaming obscenities in his face? He has to explain why people phone in bomb threats to their school. He has to explain why so-called 'Christian' ministers are praying for his death. He has to explain to them why someone would say he's not REALLY who he pretends to be, that he's some sort of monster.

They DO check on this stuff, as well as anything on Facebook and Google.

(2,781 posts)because most of these fuckers are really YOUNG! (I.e. were not raised in a more-prejudiced time ... then again, unfortunately, prejudice has made a comeback in certain circles, damn it).

(157 posts)Everybody can be BillyBadAss on Twitter. LOL!! Why don't they ride down to their nearest Martin Luther King Blvd and say that to a brotha or sista's face? I'll wait.

(19,458 posts)this is the effect of the shittiest educational system in the Country. And these people being raised by and near other people who have never ventured more than 15 miles from their home.
Racism and ignorance thrives among the people who have never experienced the rest of the world, or even the Country. I cannot fathom signing my NAME and PHOTO to that shit. It's just unreal.
I'm sorry to my fellow DUers who happen to be living in a Red State. Seriously, how can you stand it? My niece and her boyfriend moved to North Carolina a few years ago, because he had family there. They left because they got tired of being harassed on the street because he is hispanic and she is not. It's just sick.

(190 posts)every one of these tweeters is a big fan of Larry the Cable Guy.
Sad to say, but 19th century holdover bigotry is alive and well in this country. I see it all the time in the Midwest. The good news, though, is it no longer carries the PV or the EV. To me, that is progress from a time when Rappin' Ron breezed his way into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave by decrying "welfare queens".
