Sorry pal, get use to it!!! The talk of racism will be with us well past the election in November. Racism is this country is very real. Folks have been using racism for political gain well before the Mayflower landed on Plymonth Rock. Racism is enwoven into the fabric of our society.

Racism, people who are prejudiced against fat people, people with zits, people who are from Germany, Ireland, latin america whatever, the biggest threat to working people and the masses are those who vie for private elite rule.

Global corporate libertarians don''t want the people to rise above the petty divisions, the right wing plays on them and creates them to divide and conquer the masses. It''s an old trick that the Kings practiced in the old world.

is that why when speaking to some Indians about outsourcing she stated she would continue outsourcing and then when speaking to the unions she said she was opposed to outsourcing. Now where is she really taking a stand at?

The n word today actually applies to virtually everyone that is not in the top 1% of the wealthy in America. We are all slaves now to the corporate world be it blue collar or white collar and the sad thing is we have through our diverseness have allowed it to happen.

Right wingers fear Hillary. They know she is a viable opponent and can effectively defeat them and their contract against america by bringing engaging the public in the business of their government.

Bush said he is the only one who needs to worry about government matters, it''s the american people''s job to get back to their business. Now that is scary.

STOP IT! Just stop talking about this non-issue. To call the Clintons racist is ludicrous in the extreme.

If Obama should get the nomination and subsequently win the election I fear for him for his family and their well being there are far to many idiots left in America, that aside I still want to know why he voted present 130 times.

"There is NEVER an excuse for black youth to climb aboard a public bus and yell at the top of their lungs "*****" Those who are unaccountable for their behavior and role lose respect. To blame others is like a drug addict blaming others for their failures." Posted by l8c6

If that is what they wish to communicate is it not their choice to do so? We do still have freedom of speech, and also the responsibility to accept the consequences of our free speech.

Respect? That is a patronizing courtesy reserved only for those chosen few, like Ms. Winfrey, and Mr. Cosby. The US doesn''t show, and never has shown respect for the "common" "Black" man, so where is the loss?

In fact, I, a "Black" man, a survivor of the violence of the civil rights struggle in Detroit, say that the "N-word" should not be banned, let everyone, "Black", "White" "Green" or whatever shade of the rainbow, use it freely, because we all will know the context in which it is used, and we will all know who the enemy is.
