An apology to Caligastia

[Japher]

Is that the one that would have stopped the collection of racial data by the govt? I was in favor of that actually.

I voted for it... Since all the racists out there insist on using it to promote racial propoganda such as AA and EOE... The only data I need to show the difference is medical data, which has nothing to do with the state collections..

McClintock was the only candidate with the guts to support Prop 54.

I felt that if you are going to say race is not a factor than you shouldn't make it one!

I also feel that the state shouldn't make it a factor.

That doesn't mean that science and I can't...

I'm Sorry
Brenda Lee

I'm sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool.
I didn't know
Love could be so cruel.
Oh oh oh oh uh-oh oh yes.

You tell me mistakes
Are part of being young
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done.

[spoken]
(I'm sorry) I'm sorry -
(So sorry) So sorry.
Please accept my apology,
But love is blind,
And I was to blind to see.
Oh oh oh oh uh-oh oh yes.

Stereotypes are dangerous. In the movie, "White Men Can't Jump," a gifted white player was able to make a lot of money off blacks betting against him who believed he was an inferior basketball player simply because he was white.

Also, there have been a number of movies protraying Morgan Freeman as president. Why? I submit that it is because he truly comes off as presidential.

He can't be a racist, he supports the All Blacks.

While I agree with the sentiment here, couldn't you have found a non-fictional example to demonstrate it?

Well he has a point, skin colour is one of the most minor genetic differences there is.

You have to characterise it mathematically. what does minor mean. Maybe "existing discrimination" is minor also? It is a question of numbers.

Now link to some more songs.

Apologies! No. No. NO....you have to go for the jugular and KILL, KILL KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, it was a nice gesture. The thread is now redundant.

[Caligastia]

Stop posting in it then.

[GePap]

I guess the "being an adult" stopped at the first post.

Surely you are now fishing for more apologties later down the road, depending how this thread develops.

Racism and bigotry needs to be confronted and nipped in the bud. Don't expect people to politely debate race questions with you. We all know where that leads.

I agree, but we have different definitions of racism.

Hope springs eternal.

Sheesh, white guys must have difficulty with simple statements.

Look, another racial difference!
