1.) That statement/opinion does not prove that he hated Asians. Come on, man. You know this!
2.) I understand, but even the example you use here is not an example of hatred. It's like you're being in the advertising business and you have to choose between a good looking white person with perfect teeth and a good looking black person with crooked teeth to be featured smiling on a billboard. Are you being racist for not picked the black person or is it a smart business decision?
3.) No one in this thread has stated or even indicated that American slavery wasn't a bad thing, but to sit here and conclude that it was the worst form of slavery ever without even considering the slavery that still exist is, well, intolerant and ignorant.
4.) If slavery lasted in America for 246 years (if you count 1619 to 1865), how does that compare to nations where it is still ongoing?
5.) And I personally know of some who live in SC that is not bothered by the Confederate flag.
6.) Known criminals are portrayed as Saints whereas police are portrayed as known criminals.
7.) Marriage is now portrayed as a mere contract that anyone consenting adult can enter and leave at will regardless of gender preference.
8.) The Bible and the Constitution are now portrayed as 'outdated', 'old-fashioned', 'oppressive', 'hate-filled', and unimportant. See the pattern?
1.) No, I'm sorry, I really don't.
2.) This is flawed. He didn't say my partner shouldn't come because he had crooked teeth. He said my partner being Jewish might be offensive to the client. My partner has perfect teeth. He uses the same Iranian Dentist that I use. And truth be told. If he walked past you on Park Ave you wouldn't be able to distinguish him from any other white guy walking down the Ave. So why would the Merril Lynch guy "assume" that the client in Kentucky would be offended by a Jew at the meeting? Stop pretending man.
This is America. We have an obligation to stand up and say if you discriminate for it's own sake, we as American will not tolerate this and you will not prosper here.
3 & 4.) Who in this thread has actually stated that American Slavery was the worst ever. Please, show me that post. And what does one thing have to do with another anyway. Why does if have to be the 'worst' as you put for some to say that it was wrong.
Why does it have to be a matter of extremely this or that?
5.) And they are abosolutley correct. My argument is about it's hanging at the State Capital funded by tax payers.
6.) Let's live in Reality. Some cops ARE criminals and should never have been given a badge. I'm a big supporter of the NYPD, but bad cops should be found and removed because historically they'll always do more harm than good.
7.) What do I care who chooses to get married? The history of the marriage license was never about religious purpose. It was about property rights and inheritance. Read up on this. This is factually true.
In fact, for many years after the founding of this country, Common-law marriage was the law of the land. No one needed a license to get married.
The purpose of the "marriage license" movement and blood tests(which is now illegal) was largely to prevent blacks from marrying whites. I wonder if you actually knew this or not.
8.) What does the Bible have to do with anything? And whose bible anyway? My Jewish partner has his own "bible". My Iranian dentist proably also has his own. Both are good men. So, what does that bible have to do with anything?
