<nod>...  I've seen a lot more stupid posts and arguments...    As for 
racism, I see a lot more of it in everyday life that is defended under our 
"right to free speech and freedom of expression."

If these people are so offended by his words (which were pretty weak and I 
find a stretch to call racism), I implore them to step away from their CRT 
screens, look at what is going on in the own neighbourhoods, and initiate some 
sort of change.

Then again, I guess it's alot easier to try to crucify somebody from the 
comfort of their own armchair than it is to get up and initiate some sort of 
change in the real world.
