    Default Racists on craigslist

    I've been reading the rants and raves section lately, posting for the PA House Bill to legalize medical marijuana..

    And, there are so many, or just a few, racist assholes who keep posting the most noxious crap about black people.

    I posted something against it all becuase even if there is free speech, I can't imagine this not hurting someone or a lot of people so much. They say all that stuff about sticks and stones, but even the rants of a few can hurt someone.

    So, now it seems to have died down or at least gotten less hateful. But still, it bothers me.

    Why are there so many racists and sexists who spew hateful crap not caring how it could hurt someone. The latest wave was fat chicks, which I have been in my life (i've been anorexic too, but the fat stuff is more prevalent). Who are these people that have time to hate people they have nothing to do with?

    I'm still playing vigilante, and will, but it's really starting to bother me.

    Not looking for an answer, just saying it really bothers me that idiots can hurt and not give an F.

    Seems the racists have gotten worse since Obama was elected. They hate that not just white males are in power now. However, the racism is all through Craigslist. I've flagged a few job ads that state "white only apply" or related. I can't stand racist jerks and have told off many in my time. Same with sexists, homophobes, etc. I once told off a man who told me my place was at home being submissive to my boyfriend.

    Btw, just to make it clear (in case someone says something) I am not saying someone is racist because they didn't vote Obama. I'm not. I have to put that disclaimer because on another site someone accused me of saying that. Personally, I don't care who anyone voted for.

    Its panic, pure and simple. The farther the country gets from their fucked up ideals the more they will screech and yell. Just wait a few years when same sex marriage is a done deal, you'll see the exact same thing about gays.

    It bothers me, too. I call my friends out on their racist jokes and comments. Many of them really have no idea that what they are saying is racist, and I'm just like "wow, really? How could you see that joke as anything but racist?"

    I also think some of it is plain old ignorance. When I was a teen, I use to refer to Asian boat people as "Gooks". That is what my dad called them, and I figured that was the name of the country they were from or something. That is, until a friend of mine responded in horror to the term when I was referring to another kid at school. I had no idea that the word was deogratory and I felt so ashamed of myself once she told me how terrible it was to call that kid a gook.

    Who is "they"? Do you realize that is a racist accusation in and of itself?

    I can't stand Obama because I believe he is a naive radical leftist college professor who is in way over his head and we will all have to pay for the mistake of electing him. It has nothing to do with his race, though those who support have no problem playing the race card or the W card whenever he hits a rough stretch.

    99.9% of the opposition to him is based on his actions, attitudes, and associations. I don't doubt that there was a certain segment bound to oppose him because of his race, but that amounts to a miniscule fraction of the population. May I remind you there were probably a greater number of people who supported him for racial reasons than opposed him for racial reasons.

    Exactly how is that a racist statement? I don't know anyone who voted for him strictly for being black. And I know many black people. Since you claim that people voted for him because of race, please post articles supporting that (and no, Fox News doesn't count). Oh, and if you want to talk about the "mistake" of electing anyone, you don't need to go farther than Bush. But of course since he's white, many had no problem with electing him. Many of those same people who say Obama has no experience love Palin, who has less experience than Bush or Obama. The country is already messed up courtesy of the neo cons so Obama couldn't make it worse.

    The racists are far worse than they have ever been and it's because of Obama. Membership in hate groups like the KKK are on the rise.

    And btw, I am not a leftist. Neither btw is Obama. If you want to see true socialism, go to a Socialist Workers Party, or Communists meeting. Those are leftwing.

    "They" obviously refers to "racists", how in the world that wasn't perfectly clear in that phrase you quoted is simply beyond me.

    I am waiting for him or someone else to state that the NAACP or some other organization like that is just as evil as the KKK (yes I saw that on another forum). Either that, or he thinks I mean "Republicans" when I say racists, but I do not think all Republicans are racist.

    What I didn't tell him was that I don't like either party (both are corrupt).

    Amen to that.

    Yeah I went to a couple of those in college to see what it was all about. My first SO was pretty much a moderate socialist type. There were so many little splinter groups and competing factions. I used to get the various aspiring leaders trying to convert me arguing with each other, it was funny--and so easy to do!

    Obama is so far removed from that it is a joke to compare them.


    Anyway let's try to keep things pleasant, or I will have to either close or move this. Thanks!

    I took your "they" as meaning any white person opposed to Obama. That's generally what "they" means when such statements are made. If you meant otherwise, I apologize.

    If black folks didn't support Obama because he was black, how do you account for the near 100% support he has ( or had) among black people. If an equal percentage of whites opposed him, people would be screaming racism. One of the main reasons he was elected was because it made certain white people feel good about themselves to vote for a black guy. It's called "white guilt". As it is, anyone who opposes him is branded a racist right off the bat.

    All racists are idiots, from the KKK to the neo-Nazis to Reverend Wright and anyone ( including Obama, if applicable) who listened to his rants.

    Obama had less experience entering office than Palin had at the time. He'd been a Senator for less than two years when he started running for President. He had a track record of not voting and had zero executive experience. Palin had some executive experience though I am not a fan of her's and don't think she is electable ( but she'd be better than Obama). Bush was governor of Texas for several years before running for President. Obama had the least experience of the three by far and he's turned out to be as bad, if not much worse, than it was feared he would be.
