Gerry be more careful about the word racist. A racist is just about the worst thing you can be in the world. Before you call someone that, you should satisfy yourself with proof to the highest possible standard that what you say is true, because it is one of the worst things you can say about a person.
I know it's a free country and you can use whatever standard you wish before making such a claim. I myself feel recism is such an important issue that I will never trivialize it by just yelling racist without proof beyond doubt. To call people racist who don't deserve it takes the spotlight off actual racists. For the record, Kevin is certainly not one. --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Joe, to deny that the mayor showed favoritism to the woman who spoke against > Rita by applauding her comments is, in fact, to deny the reality of what > happened at the meeting.
