"The latent and endemic bigotry as bad as it is," writes Post blogger Edward Troy in comment #3, "is a mask for deeper economic troubles the bigots refuse to acknowledge and then address. The scape goating bigotry covers the voting based on the pathos of the strong silent simple minded morons who voted for a party based on one thing they were told through implied rumor; the republican party was for the "white working man." This stupid myth was dismissed by those who wanted the best person in contention for the job."
"It struck me as I watched Obama give his acceptance speech," writes Post blogger reckless G, "that now African Americans must truly be seen as Americans."
"Well done, my friend," Post blogger B. Jon Traylor writes in comment #1 to Ed Troy. "Within weeks in the 7th grade, that brother of another color and I became very good friends.'
American citizens in their own country suffer more deaths via illegal aliens in the United States annually than combat soldiers in Iraq.
Recent rifle blasts into a Basalt 7-11 illustrate the Roaring Fork Valley's dilemma. A Glenwood Springs officer shot in the chest by an illegal alien proves our vulnerability. When will Aspen businesses shun lawlessness by not hiring illegal aliens? Since they won't stop illegal hiring practices, when will the next shooting become the "Aspen Massacre" or "Aspen Rape"?
I've cooled off a little today, and present you with this anectdotal missive.
"They're coming! They're coming! More and more, 12 million all. Not only are they taking our jobs, and sending remittances back to Mexico, and other countries, but they are selling coke and bringing al Qaida, to our land of milk and honey, given to us by special manifest, our destiny."
Having royally had it, on April 1, 2005, hundreds of peaceful but righteously indignant civilian volunteers of the month-long Minuteman Project assembled in the storied southeastern Arizona city of Tombstone to petition their government for a redress of their grievances—probably thinking they'd catch some hell for doing so, but not knowing the holy-half of it.
ASPEN, COLORADO (Post Time News)--Aspen schools will be closed Friday after a written threat appeared in a middle school portable toilet claiming that whites would be shot at 8:46 AM May 11.
The threat is similar to a racial threat on a portable toilet in Snowmass last week that also specified a time and date for a shooting in a threat against Hispanics.
Few things have me as outraged as the discussion about "race" as when someone can't experience what it mean simply because they don't live it.
First: "Race" is nothing more than a social construct, according to anthropologists. There are no distinct phylogenetic demographics, yet there are genetic markers seen and unseen. The problem with these markers are that there are so many; choosing hair and skin as the only ones of relevance out of millions is statistical idiocy.
Did Mel Gibson's despicable comments about Jewish people prevent movie goers from attending his last movie? Not much. Was his movie considered for academy award contention? Yes. Was there outrage? Yes, there was some, and rightfully so.
