I'm not suggesting anyone is racist. But, it was a poor choice of words (and I'm not a p.c. person).

Ummm...if you find that racist merely because of the use of the word "apes", you are in fact a very PC person.

White hipsters are renovating inner-city areas and the black folk are getting upset with that. There's no winning.


I'm an old movie buff and that reminds me of what Lionel Barrymore's character says in "Key Largo" when two Seminole Native Americans get shot after they get "help" from Barrymore:

"It seems we can't do anything but harm to those people. Even when we go to help ..."

There was context too, as I pointed out. I am not the least bit P.C. in my opinion, which in this case is a fact.

FYI: Seminoles are Native Americans so you don't need both terms; it's redundant.

Thanks for making it about race


I did not "make it about race." I said "poor choice of words."

The context is that people who disagree with liberalism are shouted down and shamed by those who carry the liberalism banner.

The choices are: Becoming a liberal or moving on. I'll choose moving on.

When the people who prop up this liberal society decide to move on, it'll collapse. Is it our fault that a taking society can't survive without those whose backs are supporting the entire thing?

You are correct (and very smart).

I like your avatar too, very sweet. It reminds me of slowflowpro's, but he can be mean.

I believe very staunchly that everyone should be able to state their political positions without being shouted down. I think the KKK should be able to march (and responding to them is stupid, the better tactic would be to ignore them).

The "backs" that support the system are the workers, no the uber wealthy fat cats who exploit them.

The middle class is footing the bill for the rest. So much for the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Luckily, we now have a champion for the middle class. Are you familiar with Mr Trump?

I like the Trump is not afraid of the media and speaks his mind. But, I'm not going to vote for him, he is kind of crazy. Bernie Sanders is my candidate, which probably means I'm out of luck.

He was mumbling something about going third party earlier today. Maybe the Bernouts can get one started.
