Again doth thee protest too much? I wish I could ignore white guys like you who freely throw the race card around and pretend to be a victimized minority. Hey, I call it as a see it. Maybe if your leaders would stop with the racist comments I wouldn't have to keep pointing them out. And when have I ever pretended to be a victimized minority? Unfortunately, you have succeeded in turning this nation into a place where you can't even discuss race in a rational manner. How so? Hence I can never protest too much against your kind, because (a) all you want to do is silence those who don't believe in your brand of liberalism, and (b) your brand of liberalism fails minorities every single time it's tried. Just like Detroit, Chicago, D.C., and even L.A. which you yourself fled for the "wonderful weather" in Seattle. You really don't understand that some people don't think like you at all. I will repeat what I have said previously........race was the last thing I was thinking about when moving to Seattle. And unlike you, I have always lived in the city and never ever took my white ass to the suburbs.......something you consistently do. Again, why are you so uncomfortable talking about race?

We can't find honest and open discussion on serious issues infecting our culture do to the code speak politicians insist upon using to quash the voices of their counter parts. Words like crime, urban, welfare, immigration, drugs etc are more likely to conjure up images of racial stereotypes than a rational discussion of issues, whether or not they are valid associations. Use of code words is ubiquitous in implying some insidious agenda. They are as common as popcorn at the movies and used by both left and right to pander to their voting base, which has paralyzed the processes of government in America for decades.
