STG suspends Central Arkansas chapter for offensive Halloween costume

[Tom Earp]

What gets me is what people call racism!

Maybe, sometimes it is with respect!! Went to as party painted as the jolly green giant and the amazon. I was painted green and my girl friend in brown with a bone in her hair as the amazon! It was from a song and not racist at all!
Is it respect or not that is the question!

I for one and really tired of all this Bull Shit!Everything like this so over blown I want to puke!

That's actually racist. You don't have to believe it for it to be so. You also don't have to care that it is racist, but that's indeed what it was.

And you know this how? Were you in this persons mind or just surmising what he ment when he did it?

If and only if you say things like this, then what you are saying that any one who makes a statement against any race, gender, or religion can be called a racist! Is this correct?

I have a question for you??

Have you ever dated any one out side of your race or religion? I have but you probably never have! Is there anything that you do not like out of your comfort zone? I would imagine yes!

It is a racist message regardless of how the person sending it meant it. The meaning of that message has been established in our society. It has a racist effect. It denigrates other people and cultures. You might not have meant to do that and might have done it because you are ignorant, rather than cruel, but it is still racist.

And lots of racists date outside their race. Strom Thurmand had an AA daughter. That doesn't make him a good man.

It seems today, that every one wants to throw the RACIST CARD OUT WAY TO MUCH!

So, if I do not care for a female neighbor or her dog, am I racist against females and dogs?

Or the guy across the street rides a motor cycle and has A pony tail, does that mean I am racist against pony tales and motor cycles?

Way to many people go way over the bounds of throwing words out acuseing people of things because of ignorance.

There is a difference between ignorant or just plain dumb!!!

What catagory do you fit in?
