I'm not a racist. It just happens that Obama originates from Africa and was raised a muslim. Calling a person born and raised in USA (and running for President as such) - "an incompetent Islamic African" can only be interpreted as a racist comment in my opinion.  | | | Berak

For the record, I also thought it was hilarious. I only took issue with the sidetrack that we got off on ... not your fault! | | | Thanks for your support.

Rico Rico, I did not turn this into a political debate. I simply pointed out that if that is the way it was going to go the original remarks were inappropriate. I simply pointed out that if the person was going to make such comments and dislike the candidate to do it for factual reasons. |

The fact that you included Obama's religious and racial origins in your post, and did not do the same for McCain, makes it look racist. Except that most other immigrants to this country do not refer to themselves as Italian-Americans or Irish-Americans or German-Americans. They simply call themselves Americans. Not only do African-Americans refer to themselves as such, but they consider other "older" terms as a slight, if not downright racist. EDIT: I agree that the reference to Islam was purely inflammatory. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

Normally people aren't insulted by mentioning their religious and racial origins, but I confess that it was wrong to use them in a person comparison without mentioning the ones of the opponent. And I like to apologize to everyone who felt offended by my comment. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | Guys,
A quick count shows "21 OFF Topic Posts" regarding an entertainment link. Are OFF topic comments 'red arrow' issues. A moderator probably would have made the comment about Off Topic if we had one. Also one can start his/her own thread regarding the other issues.

Rico Your original post sparked an unintended conversation. It happens. I do not believe off topic comments are 'red arrow' issues. Going off topic is the 'norm' around here...has been for quite a while. If I were the moderator of these forums, I would have to take that into account. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
