Ignorance - When Does It Stop?

[Southside Playa]

Check this out:

Obama effigy hanged on Oregon campus - Race & ethnicity - MSNBC.com

This is the type of shid that is senseless and need to stop. This is not about politics. This is the type of shid that needs to be addressed. This is why people bring up race.

I know we have kicked this around time and time again. But this is the low-lying undertone at the bottom of this election that cannot be overlooked.

I hope all the McCain supporters would find no more humor in this than I would some one disrespecting him in the same manner. The guys may represent two differing oppinions, but they should still be respected as people, parents, husbands, wives, etc.

It is just sad for lack of a better term.

End of the day we are all Americans, or at least most of us are. But I see that really doesn't matter to some people.

If anyone has ever wondered why I am passionate about this type of stuff, it is because it still exists. If it didn't then there would be no conversation. I pray for the day that it is truly a mute point.

Sad.

...and sadly, as long as there are people, there will be ignorance.

Still looking for the similie of the guy shaking his head in disgust.

Race issues are like oil threads. Everyone is right, and it will never stop, lol

 

[thrasherfox]

No humor in that at all. whoever did that has some serious issues.

All I can do is shake my head at the ignorance of whomever did that.

Just when I think the whole racism issue is getting better in this country some stupid small group of idiots have to do something like this.

Sad, very sad indeed. It is sad that things like this happen and I do not condone anyone who does such things. It is a cowardly act in my opinion and uncalled for.

We must remember though, not everyone on this planet is a good person. We have evil persons amongst us and they are all colors and both sexes. We, the ones who disagree with these types of acts, must always be on the lookout for those who do these things and address them. Even though we have no tolerance for these acts we must also understand we will never stop everyone who wishes to do acts such as these. It would be like stopping every single murder ever, it won't happen, at least not until after the second coming Christ.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN
15% (no change)

OBAMA
39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN

(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN
- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA
Restore the inheritance tax

Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

The race issues in this campain so far has been played by the Democratic Party themselves.

All part of Liberal plan.

I will admit there is no cause or reason for those actions in your link.

WRONG

The racism in this election is not isolated to one party, and it dayum sure isn't part of any "Liberal Plan".

There are plenty of Dems that were pushing for Hilary that won't vote for Obama, cause of gender and/or possibly race. Also, no matter how much everyone hates to admit it, that is a significant contingent of people that actually like Obama's message, however they won't vote for him because they are historically predispositioned to not support a black candidate.

Vote how you like, just as long as I don't vote for him JUST becasue he is Black, and make sure that you don't NOT vote for him JUST because he is Black. If everyone sticks to that there would be no issue.

Again, racism in the US is still exists and cannot be overlooked. I will give you that fact that people like Jesse Jackson and Quannel X (local Houston Figure) have severely worn out the print on the "Race Card", which is ironic given the lack of credibility on their parts. However, there should always be an awareness of the playing field not being 100% leveled.

I hope to make up my mind by November. It is such a close race..........

Race issues are like oil threads. Everyone is right, and it will never stop, lol

When it comes to racism, it's not like oil threads, everyone is NOT right.

Just thought I'd clarify that for you.

Why is his support weakest among White Males?

 

[CTA_Busa_LE]

Why is his support weakest among White Males?

??? because they are smart enough to know an empty suit when they see one?

 

[Southside Playa]

??? because they are smart enough to know an empty suit when they see one?
