Whew! all this just to get your` picture on a Wheaties box !

Once again, Gorbash brings race into the picture.

As I detailed in my own blog, "lynching" has been around longer than black people in America. If you want to feel extremely stupid, I should point out that it took place in the Greek and Roman Empires -- long before America was known to exist!

Yes, racism needs to be addressed -- but only when something is racist to begin with. Seems to me that you are exhibiting racist tendencies since you keep focusing in on how it is so "wrong" to say a black man should be lynched.

Again I ask, why does it have to be a black man you shouldn't say that about? Does it make it any more appropriate if you say a white person should be lynched?

Karl -- good point in your post, I'm glad you made this important point too. I just became disgusted when I read that Al Sharpton was sticking his nose into this. Maybe those youth golfers should lynch him too. (relax Gorbash, I'm using this part of speech called SARCASM here.)

Racism is going on right now, because we have people like this suggesting that a black man be lynched- most sane and decent people know that this is wrong.

And now you are accusing people who are against suggesting that black people should be lynched as racist? Outrageous and ridiculous.

Clearly Conservatives do not have good judgment or decency.

First- there is nothing funny about your "joke"

Secondly- I became disgusted when the person said that a black man should be lynched, that was what was disturbing to me- apparently you hate Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson MORE than you hate the racism that they are trying to fight against.

Perhaps you also came to the defense of Don Imus when he made racist comments about the black college basketball player women?

Maybe you also came to the defense of Mel Gibson when he made anti-semetic remarks when he was arrested for DUI?

Did you also come to the defense of Michael Richards when he called some hecklers the N-Word?

"Clearly Conservatives do not have good judgment or decency."

I love when people hide behind political parties and throw politics into a topic which has nothing to do with politics.

First, you have no idea what political viewpoints anyone has based on this topic. Second, if you must know, I do not align myself with either political party because I do not agree with everything either side says or does. Third, it is you who seems incapable of listening to reason because you have your opinion and that is aparently the only one here which can be correct.

I'm done. You can consider this a win if you'd like because I just don't care to argue with you over something your mind obviously cannot grasp.

I can grasp the concept of racism, and how it threatens our society and must be stamped out!

When I see racism, my first question I ask is: How do I destroy it?

I agree with you - I believe people need to get past race and focus on people as people, not as black people, white people or purple polka-dotted people. But that has nothing to do with this news story.

Funny thing about racism is that it isn't just white on black. It takes many forms. Equally funny is the folks who see everything as racism, even when race has nothing to do with it.

I noticed you didn't reply in my blog after I gave you a history lesson on "lynching" not being specific against ANY one race. Instead, you came here to this post where Karl has another great point.
