I don't like the idea of Palin being discriminated against for being a woman, and the same with Hillary. Sexism is just as bad as racism and when hate is thrown in the mix, it's worse. There is also a personal connection to having dealt with racism in one way or another, and this comic strip is bluntly offensive, and it is a shame that there is such an irresponsibility that no one read that carefully before it went to print and thought, "We shouldn't print that." I'm sure (from having discussed racism with Tiki before) that this is as much offensive in that matter to her as sexism is (as well for me).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856511301891664628.post-3556633991473806522008-10-30T22:30:00.000-05:002008-10-30T22:30:00.000-05:00The reason that subgroups speak up and it's pointe...The reason that subgroups speak up and it's pointed out when those groups...nah, let's be real. The reason it's a big issue when black folks speak up about racism like this, is because there are years of laws and communities set up on legalized racism and oppression. We didn't have a voice years. Now that we have a voice and can make things happen, folks cry for equality. <BR/><BR/>Is it right? nope, but I understand.

The truth of the matter is, the exact same thing can happen to two people with two different meanings behind them.<BR/><BR/>As for me, this is history in the making and I'm truly interested in Obama and what he stands for. I'm less interested in McCain/Palin, although she is making history as well. Most of my comments and posts so far have been PRO-Obama/Biden and I would like you to continue to read and comment with your view for PRO-McCain/Palin. <BR/><BR/>We will agree to disagree!Tikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616181970989741204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856511301891664628.post-49430831748828965822008-10-30T14:29:00.000-05:002008-10-30T14:29:00.000-05:00True dat, you have that choice!

I just like to point out that people LOVE to cry and rant about the horrible things that happen to certain subgroups but I can't decide if they are ignoring the same things that happen to other subgroups they are disinterested in, or don't care they are happening, or if it's okay with them, because they don't like those subgroups. Is there another option I am missing here?hollybeth75https://www.blogger.com/profile/06349019100379403343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856511301891664628.post-51372683021362023972008-10-30T14:22:00.000-05:002008-10-30T14:22:00.000-05:00Yeah, you are right.

It was brought up by Tanja, on another post, about Palin having an effigy of her hung outside of this guys house and I made mention there in my comment to her that "Yes, I know about the Palin Effigy. That was no more right than Obama's..." and I stand by that here as well. I was not talking about McCain/Palin here and I'm sure there are alot of things that I could bring up about them but haven't and won't. As far as what the "public" has to say or what "their" opinions are, it doesn't matter to me. I have my own opinions and will continue to voice them. If I choose to never bring up McCain/Palin again so be it. It's my choice. Isn't America beautiful?Tikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616181970989741204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856511301891664628.post-17710557105381619752008-10-30T12:29:00.000-05:002008-10-30T12:29:00.000-05:00The only comment I really have is that I noticed y...The only comment I really have is that I noticed you only higlighted the "two" examples that occurred on school grounds, and by reading the examples you provided, it is clear you are talking only about Obama. I think it is interesting that there is no mention or outrage of the effigies of Sarah Palin or John McCain (which would total to three maybe four examples) and really all four are disgusting. What I have noticed are that people can be quick to notice and point fingers about what the public does to Obama, but not so much what the public does to Palin, or McCain. I think we should be fair, and equal.hollybeth75https://www.blogger.com/profile/06349019100379403343noreply@blogger.com
