I thought that is what I said, X. You are free to dislike anybody you like in private life, as long as you do not discriminate against them in public life (e.g., at the polls, in employment, in education).

Edit:
P.S. Just in case anyone should misunderstand the phrase "at the polls": I, of course, meant that no one should be prevented from voting, not that you have to vote in a "non-discriminatory fashion".

<<Not really- in Hayward California the CITY has put up a sign that states "No Room For Racism" - >>

We have similar signs on all the roads into town. Racism with an X through it like a European sign.

Before the signs we had a quiet town. Now we have streets closed off because the niggers and the spicks are shooting at each other. The Japs have made their own community after bringing in the car plant. The Hebes have their own section and the whites are scared to death. They have further subdivided into white and blue collar and then into family trees.

When I grew up I would stop by a black family and give them some extra rabbits, when I had them, and have coffee and cake with them. My doctor was Jewish and stopped by the house to have a drink on the way home. Latino? What the hell was a Latino? Just another person in my school class like the black guy or the Jewish guy. We ate lunch together, got drunk at times, fought and hugged and got along. Signs and labels. I don't live in town now. Still have friends of different races and cultures though.

It is really quite simple:

The city government of Hayward supports Amerika... not America, because they do not understand (or worse, are against) the philosophical foundation this country was built upon.

I am very proud of that sign. I pass it every day on my way to work.

I think it was in response to the cross burning in Castro Valley.

Maybe they should have just put up a sign "We don't welcome cross burnings" Would that be o.k. with you?
