Too far from God, too close to the USA

[chollybocker]

Meta-irony? Doubtful. I can't hardly tell anymore.

File under 'Conservatives Not Getting It, #13,667.'

Gives the south shit. I live in Arizona, so I can kind of relate, but our legislature is fucked up and Phoenix dominates the state.

Opps, forgot the point. This is why they give them shit.

6. what the fuck????????

I am so ashamed and enraged that this is still happening and seems to be increasing in this country. I can't even imagine how African Americans are feeling right now.

7. They are appalled, outraged, sick to the stomach, resolute, resigned, it's the samo o samo,...

that is just a sampling of what I am able to gather. This case is really pissing me off to no end. I wish I wasn't so obsessed. But, I am even if I haven't replied to a lot of threads on the issue. Some of the things I have read make me so sick, I can't make myself respond. Some make me so mad, I dare not respond.

I have three girls, all bi-racial. Their father is a dark Hispanic. I have worried that they will suffer discrimination at various times during their life. They have on a few occasions. But, I was terrified of how my own family would treat them. It was actually ok, cause he was Hispanic and at least I didn't have kids with a black man, that's what my mom said after she asked me why I couldn't find a white man. Anyway, I digress.

I know all to well about the undercurrents of racism in this country. White people are fairly open about their racism at least to other white people. My last job my boss wanted me to profile people. It was very stressful cause I didn't know what a shoplifter looked like. Except I pretty much knew he meant black people especially if they had a backpack. Oh that's helpful when we are close to at least two schools.

Okey dokey, this is why I usually leave these threads alone.

8. What talent

I'm sure some shitbag paper will hire him.

[spanone]

9. it's sad to have to acknowledge that racism is alive and well in america

[yardwork]

10. That is not going to look good to prospective employers.

[rufus dog]

11. To expand upon Jon Stewart

Maybe Texas was feeling left out of the Florida/Arizona Harms race.
