Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 09:41 PM by southernleftylady

I just asked a question if "America" is ready for a black man or woman and I (a white female) as called sexist and racist...
For asking if america is ready..
Thats it...
nothing negative or anything hate filled...
and I was called a racist and sexist...
So instead of being called "Anti American" and terrorist... for the last 8 years... if they when will we be called a racist or sexist if we question anything they do?
just wondering.. and lets see how many times ill be called just that for asking this simple question..

1. You didn't question anything they did.

You questioned their skin color and their gender.

5. It's an issue.

But if you hold their race and gender against them, YOU and the people like you would be the issue.

13. At this point, it's race/gender baiting

Flame bait. The question serves no purpose. It's been beat to death. The only reason someone would bring it up at this point is to scare people away from the big bad black man or the wimpy wiley woman. Enough already. It's time for people to look at the character of the candidates and vote.
