>> I wish you had travelled outside your own neck of the woods, to other countries and places, where race is a lot less of an issue or not an issue altogether. << such as? >> To the contrary. I think our country was founded by forward thinking men. They were bound by the prejudices of their time, but rose above them. At a time where the layfolk talked about monarchies, they instituted democracy. At a time where people considered the right of the king divine, they proclaimed the right of the people to be free as God given. << ahh, i see. only people of this current generation who acknowledge differences in skin color are racists, such as jesse jackson and the naacp. people with pictures on our currency get a pass because they were bound by the prejudices of their time. >> These men saw --over two hundred years ago-- much beyond where you and other racists bigots can see today. << oh really? perhaps i need to post a few more quotes and enlighten you some more on what some of our founders believed. you liberals are always in need of a proper education anyway. >> These are people who were at the forefront of society, morally and scientifically << i see. so when ben franklin says he wished to see more white people it was not racist, he was simply "at the forefront of society, morally and scientifically". yet if craig crawford says the exact same thing, he is a racist! i just love the logic from you liberals. >> If you are truly a patriot you should do as our founding fathers did: look forward and propose a new, better society instead of proposing to send us back to America as it was just before the civil war. << you pinko commies have been doing that for centuries and you haven't come up with a good idea yet! i prefer to stick to the tried and true traditions that made this country safe for filthy liberals like you.
