Good point divine and thinking back when my mother explained to me how blacks were treated I was too young to even think about accepting. The conversation that took place was meant to impress on me that it was simply NOT okay.

What doesn't make sense to me is KNOWING how a person has said racist things, knowing because I was alive when it happened and I saw the affects of it first hand and facing people that want you think IT'S OKAY. That a person stands beside him even though this person pointed out the hipocracy he represents. And it isn't just once or long ago either, things are STILL stated that show it's still THERE.

YES, you are right in that it makes ZERO sense. Yet, I am told to be TOLARANT? "You aint black if you don't vote for me, I own you"? Not 40 years ago, said NOW. A black man becomes president and here is this individual literally claiming this black man's success like HE owns it? Oh, that's right I have to pretend and tolerate. And god forbid I say anything either. Why can't I be able to talk about the individual without it somehow being not allowed or erased?
