Totally offensive

You call them traitors, some call them freedom fighters. All a matter of perspective. The English considered the colonists to be traitors - but they won their war, so now we call them heroes. They would have hanged if they lost - and been called traitors by Englishmen. Originally Posted by Jewish Lawyer

I'm not a Obama fan, but I find this totally offensive and disrespectful.

Yes, you can - so once again you are just being a prick.

Just as we all thought, JL is Sybil

Obama hates America as it stands, love to kiss ass with muslims and is the biggest liar ever to shit between two shoes. When this piece of shit was born, they should have bitch slapped his white trash mama. All you people need to get past the "N" word as you like to refer to it. "NIgger", there it is said. It is NOT a definition of color, more of a definition of lack of class and personal character. I be's seeing plenty of WHITE niggers out there. So get over it. No one should be so stupid as to let a word assume the definition of your skin color. By jumping to take offense you only embolden the word used against you.

Ask yourself: which came first? The start of the Civil War by the Confederate traitors? Or the lynchings in NY?

So, I repeat:

He is just changing the subject.

And, for the record, the IRA were trying to overthrow a system of oppression, not prolong it like the Confederacy.

I've never really understood the hatred between the English and the Irish. The only thing different about them is that the English tend to be slightly more polite, until you get to know them, then they can be total assholes, too. Also, both sides have produced great men, and beautiful women.

Though the link fortunately doesn't have any real comments from the perp I did hear his comments on the radio. His explanation (if you want to acccept it) is that there is a difference between "black" people and persons he categorizes with the 'N' word. A thought that has been echoed in film, TV, and popular culture. One group is law abiding, responsible, and a positive credit to society and the other group acts like Justin Bieber, Eminem, 50 Cents, and Mike Tyson. So you can accept his explanation or not but you would have to condemn a lot of people who are escaping notice.
I heard the same comment frequently when I was in the navy from black sailors who were making the service a career. They were usually describing someone who may not survive even four years without an arrest.

This has nothing to do with the Confederacy or the Union. Both sides had people with little regard for intellectual capacity of freed slaves despite ample evidence to the contrary.
