[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 886374, member: 60724"] Richard L, I wasn't WAY off subject. Someone above, maybe you, said that it's up to the targeted race to determine what is and isn't racist. That opened the door for me to say that is pretty "convenient", and to show examples of where those that are targeted often, emotionally, cry racism when there is none, or see things through a racist lense themselves. I have absolutely no issue with minorities. I have issues with bad behavior. I also have issue with people that pull out the race card, either because they don't like what is being said, or because they are being admonished for bad behavior. Old images that blacks might find offense are just that. Images. Get over it. Anyone that thinks that Disney's "Song of the South" is or was racist, at the time, and even now, is smoking crack. Sure, I will agree, that it might no longer be considered politically correct, but I don't care much for political correctness. If minorites get to define what the feel is offensive, and racist, then everyone else should be able to call them on it. I'm seeing that more and more with our current president. Heck, even HE is calling them on it (and I applaud him for it). TJR [/QUOTE]
