That's racist!

I do when they watch roots. It's hilarious, the real racists come out.

Should I start hating and threatening attacks on Japanese when I watch Pearl Harbor?

You should start threatening attacks on Ben Affleck and Michael Bay when you watch Pearl Harbor.

Alright guys, who is going to post the racist twitter rage from last night's episode?

There are some gems! The show apparently brings out the racism and hatred in people. Lots of talk about Nat Turners's rebellion and how they should have killed more white people and black power blah blah blah..And some of these people wonder why their circumstances are what they are. :birgits_giggle:

Absolutely.

I have always found that when you single out certain segments of the population to celebrate its' differences, that it is affront to unity among the population. How can we be one American people when we say "You are black, you are different" or "you are Hispanic, you are different"? That leads to people wanting to truly be different and thoughts of exclusion. No matter what anyone's past is we are all American. Yeah, America has had a rough and sometimes dark history, I get it. No one alive today we there for slavery. You may have had some old timers around for segregation. But point to me one ethnic group that has not been oppressed in history?

When my Roma (Gypsy) grandmother came to the United States in the 1930s, despite many generations of treatment that would make the Jim Crow Laws look weak, all they wanted to do was assimilate. There was no, I am Roma, look at me, you don't understand me. It was, let's be members of our communities we live in, let's be American.

Just my thoughts.

Don't compare me to those dirty Irish! (I do have Irish blood on my fathers side).

The Irish are only dirty when they're drunk.

Personally I don't have a problem with Gypsies except when they try to steal my wallet or pester me to let them tell my future.

Yeah, but that's just about always.

When people regardless of race have a commonality, aka common culture, things work out. When you have and promote multiculturalism you get the sh@t show most of our world has become.
