Have you forgotten to use your newspeak guidebook? The term "racism" does not apply when conduct is in furtherance of foreign policy -- the correct phrase is then "preservation of the American way of life."
You could chop 8 consecutive words out of anyone's speech or writing and make them look like something they are not. Poor terminology on my part. Also keep in mind that I'm not a senator, so since I don't represent this country in the same way that he does, I can be a little more spontaneous in my writing.
Your true colors are glowing like the neon in Vegas. The extreme minority were in the "main house," the majority lived in abject squalor. And where else would a slave owner put the house servants, a 100 yards away in a shack? And Aphster, if for your entire life your perception was that of being tacitly and/or openly despised and reviled by whites, you'd have an attitude also. Next you'll be saying slavery was ok because it was Africans that captured neighboring tribes and sold them to the slave traders.

I'm tired of people using the argument: "slavery was over a hundred years ago" NEWS FLASH: Jim Crow laws were still in place in the 1960's. There are still people alive today that can remember racially motivated hangings in the south. I have sympathy for an african american that hates whites. I laugh at a white person that hates african americans. Prejudice is far more prevalent than racism these days. The above quote is moronic. Think before you talk, you spoiled, narrow minded child.
(I have sympathy for an african american that hates whites. I laugh at a white person that hates african americans. ) now there's bigotry for you
You must be able to comprehend the ideas of minority, majority and oppression before you'd realize why your statement makes little sense. I'll bet black bigotry affects your life every day, huh? Messes with your freedoms and pursuit of happiness? White bigotry must be no big deal these days... After all, slavery was over 100 years ago, and I'm not a racist... Duh...
