Where have there been disparaging racial remarks? Unless I didn't receive it, I don't recall seeing anyone here making a disparaging remark.

It is quite evident that not everyone on the list identify as white (not many I believe)... However, from the other discussion threads generated on this list, there has been "blatant" disparaging racial remarks... I just did not have the time to comment. Either you agree or don't agree, but don't add content to my statements. Don't tell me what I assume, I have gathered data based upon REAL experiences, perhaps not your experience, but very real people. And according to the information I have received, racial attacks and discrimination is on the rise, especially during these difficult economic times. What comes out of the mouth is usually what is in the heart... I am passionate about making America a melting pot, and I would love for everyone to feel this way. Some will continue to foster hate and violence on those they deem inferior, I want NO parts of that...and I hope we all agree on that!
