A white man insults Obama= he is a racist.
A black man insults Bush= he's funny?
That's called a double standard. The only reason racism is still alive today is because black people won't let it die (yes I said it). Every little thing a white guy does that a black person doesn't like, they turn it into a race thing. Whites are NOT holding the Black man down.....the Black man is holding the Black man down. You want people to treat you equally, treat yourself equally.

Comments last week: "Sure, we specifically mention that Obama is Black and White and stinks like a skunk, but just because we bring up his race for no reason other than a joke, that does not mean we are racists. You liberals are the real racists for pointing out when we are racist."

We can never truly get rid of racism, because people will always not like people that are different. We can and to a large degree have eliminated much of the institutional racism that existed. There are people of many races that do benefit from crying about racism and getting votes/power because of it.

What I'm getting at is...if this exact same thing happened at A&M or another stereotypical "intolerant" school, maybe Ole Miss, Miss State, etc, it would be jumped on immediately as more justification of why that school is viewed that way by some.
The subject came up during A&Ms coaching search.

that doesn't mean it would affect recruiting. A&M had no trouble recruiting black players in the 80's and 90's when they had better coaches.
However, the overall precption of the schools is a lot different than some comment by 1 or 2 students.

It is absolutely stunning to read such an ignorant statement...is it more than just a coincidence that you spell Cajun with a K??

I know how cajun is spelled. I live in southern Louisiana but I'm not FROM here, thus I'm not a "Cajun." I don't need a spelling lesson from a Texas fan in Florida, thanks.

Do you have anything to add other than the fact I can't spell? Maybe you would like to back up your statement that my post was ignorant.

Your statement seems to imply that racism is now some myth or fallacy and that it went the way of the dinosaur...extinct/doesn't exist...and it only appears when blacks use it as a crutch or excuse when they feel wronged. That is completely ignorant. Racism does exist and there are hundreds of groups/organizations that practice it to this day!
Here's a 2010 story about KKK recruiting in Flagler County, Florida LINK
“It’s not just in Palm Coast,” Thornton told FlaglerLive on Sunday. “We have people from the Keys up to Fort Walton, to Tallahasse, Gainesville, Orlando–all over Florida.”
I'll leave this topic alone and won't add any further comments...The End.

Ugh!!! you cant be that slow. Just in case you are here's a question How many times in your life was any president besides Obama was referred to his color? Don't worry I'll wait on a response

How many white men have called Obama a Black "anything"
eta: How many times was Bush called a Redneck while he was in office? Were they called racist? Was it ONLY white people calling him a redneck?
The answer to the last two is NO, and he was call a redceck MANY times in 8 years. No one made a shite about it.

Not untill Obama took office.......but here's the killer, it's not white people that's bring attention to his race, it other black men and women. But you let one person go on the record as saying they don't believe he is a good president, it gets turned into a race thing. If you can't see that....you're blind.

But I'm called ignorant for pointing it out. I'm not the only one who sees this shite, most people are just too damn scared to say it, I'm Not. I served my time in uniform giving me the right to say what the frick I want.
If you think I'm a racist for saying that Obama is the worst pres since Carter, then say what you need to. Then pull the "racism" dick out of your arse and think for your self for a change.
