You do realize that the whole draft thing is bunkum, yes? The military doesn’t want it (lesson of Vietnam), and anyone who does actually touch the issue is committing political suicide.

Think with your brain, not your heart. That’s what the brain is for.

Fiona: You should be proud to have your boy serve. Tell him “with your sheild or on it”. And mean it.

You’re all going to say I’m crazy but this race and these candidates have Supreme Court written all over them. Score another ‘D’ for democracy.

My point is that loud, angry, blanket denunciations of entire races are irrational, immoral and racist *even* when there is a supposed “reason” for the denunciations, and no matter which races the denouncer and the denounced are. Reason doesn’t enter into it, because racism is irrational. Racism is prejudice and discrimination based on race, period. There is no definition of racism that says, oh, by the way, it’s not racism if you have a good reason for your hate. After all, *every* racist – no matter what their race – will be able to provide you with what they view as “good reasons” for their hate. If you accept one set of blanket denunciations as “valid”, that opens the gate to accept all of them, and that way lies madness.

Wright should not get a pass just because he is black and in the past, some whites have perpetrated injustices on some blacks. The idea of eternal collective guilt for the entire white race is absurd, unjust, and (yes) nothing less than racist.

JJ, So if you have a reason to be angry, you’re not really being racist when you express that anger?

Josh, racism doesn’t require a “reason”. That is why it is fundamentally irrational.

JJ Well, what would you say about a white person who was loud and angry about black people? The same thing I’d say about a straight person who was loud and angry at gay people. That they have no *reason* to be loud or angry. Oh. Of course. How reasonable.
