We not only "get away" with it, we consider it a necessary
exercise of free speech. After all the word is simply Latin
for black. Sometimes the more academic term, "negroid", is
used to shock the sensibilities.

If one word can be legally banned then any word can be
banned. It is better that people can display bias and have
that addressed in public than suppressing thought and have
this tension accumulate and emerge as overt conflict.

>Your language and thinking could get you into trouble over here.

Which indicates that not much has changed in the land
of repression and suppression since the 1930s.

We know that skin color does not in itself mean lessor
capability per individual, but as Americans we find that
using politically incorrect speech in order to make a point,
desensitizes words, keeps socialists off balance and government
in its place.

However, we are eagerly awaiting the first arrest for 'hate
speech' and 'hate thoughts'. It will be interesting.

Sad? Why is it sad? Some people have doubts about the
efficacy and capability of black culture, foreign and
domestic. Combined with the forced support of government
programs over the past 50 years, frustration builds. I'm
sure you're aware of this. Those same people might also
see that these political and legal endeavors have actually
created a very bad situation at home and abroad.

Have you no biases? Of course you do. Perhaps you are of
a mind that certain speech should be repressed like that
of Canada, the UK or Germany. Repression that is sure to
result in undesired consequences, like burning unapproved
books, to be closely followed by burning unapproved people.

That would be sad.

If you are sad then you apparently believe that by 2004
mankind should be perfected, that a utopia is or even should be,
achievable. And if you believe this then you must believe that
your are perfected. That's sad.

Interesting spin Ma'am. Given that the Dems are Nanny Staters, who
use any method to further their agenda, Id have to say you should put
"Vote for Any Dem Politician" in place of Dubya in your little bit of
spew.

Speaking of Deception., dishonesty, How is Bill Clinton and his evil
step son Michael The Hutt Moore doing.

Speaking of oppression, repression and big brother, what did they ever
do with those 975 FBI files? And I understand that there is an
interesting memorial over in Waco where the Dems murdered all those
kids.
I visited Manzanar a couple weeks ago..you remember..where a Democrat
put all those Japanese Americans in concentration camps. But
then...Dems have traditionally been pretty good for getting the US
into wars. WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Bosnia, etc etc..the
usual places where they like to send our children to die. Course it
was probably better than to Put them into dependant slave mode Like
LBJs Great Society did for at least 2 generations of Americans.

Speaking of Theft....think we should do a listing of tax increases and
entitlement programs forced on the American Public over the last 40
yrs and see who introduced them, voted for them and inforced them?

Might make for interesting reading to see all those -D besides the
names. Ya think?

Then we can take a long hard look at all the Liberties the Left
removed from the public over the years..Gun Control, Fathers Rights,
Free Political Speech, Political Correctness run amok, etc etc..all
the usual things the Leftwingers in their guise of Big Nanny have
crammed down the publics throat. Shall we compare notes, sweet
cheeks?

Then of course we can do a bit of digging on how the Left eviserated
the educational system in this country. Sure you want to go there?

Nah..I dont think that anyone with any intelligence is going to vote
for Kerry, particularly when his only claim to fame is a demolished,
made up military history and the fact he is "anyone but Bush" .

Lets see..19 yrs in Congress with absolutely NO significant
legislation with his name on it...seems pretty much to me to be a
public tit hanger-on. Course his voting record puts him as the most
liberal of all Congress critters, even to the Left of that rat bastard
Kennedy, and that skid mark in the skivies of life, Chucky
Schumer..and Swinestine, etc etc. Quite a little band of brothers
(and sistas) there on the Far Left Extremist side of the asle..no?

What can you expect from a political party that has largely based
itself on keeping minorities dependant on them, since the advent of
the Great Society? A political party that has destroyed more families
than did the Holocost..shrug. They are racist to the core..and worst
of all Condescendingly Racist.

Oddly enough..as an ex police officer..the list above looks more like
the Democrats Ive encountered in the line of duty, than anything else.
And what electorial successes in the last 40 yrs are you referring to?
Its only been since 1994 that the Right has had any significant input
to the process, 104th Congress as I recall. So that would clearly
indicate that the prior 30 yrs of malfeasance in office was a Democrat
thing, no?

Chuckle..indeed. They are about the same level as the greenie and that
ilk. Nutcases abound on both sides of the political asle.

Though..it is of some note that the KKK and other haters were
Democrats. Lester Maddox- Dem, Bull Conners- Dem, George Wallace-
Dem, Sen. KKK Byrd- Dem. The list goes on and on. If it wasnt for
the Republicans..the Civil Rights Acts would never have been passed as
the Democrats were staunch racists. Shrug..

And even today..given the terrorist tactics of other Democrat/Lefty
organizations like ALF/ELF etc..with their burnings, and their
murdering of innocent people..it simply shows what their stripe is.

Civil Rights Act of 1964:

House:
Democrats 152 for, 96 against.
Republicans 138 for, 34 against.

Senate:
Democrats 46 for, 21 against.
Republicans 27 for, 6 against.

You may note large majorities in both houses. The biggest threat to the
act was a 74-day filibuster in the Senate performed by southern Democrats.
Ending the filibuster would not have been possible without strong
Republican support.

There were several previous civil rights acts during the Eisenhower
administration (promoted by the administration, watered down by congressional
Democrats).

We now return you to your regularly scheduled off-topic drivel.

if the choice is between a nanny state and the repressive totalitarian
state that Bush and his cronies want to impose, I'll choose the nanny
state. You have a better chance rebelling against a nanny than against
a murderous group of thugs.

I will have to disagree with you on that matter. Most police officers
have above average intelligence, are well educated, and come from just
about every walk of life. True, there are some who are bullies who hide
behind a badge, but the vast majority are honest, hard working people
who take their oaths to uphold the law very seriously.
