I hate discussions of race. I really do. It always winds up with us getting angry and forgetting that we are individuals, not stereotypes. rf- let’s drop it.
benson — you agree, then, that it’s an appropriate use of the term “blood libel”? You also think she still has a reasonable shot at being elected prez in 2012?
Perhaps I agree with you on one point. I’m just agog at how much attention she gets and she is masterful at getting it. She knows just how to go far enough over the line to draw all kinds of attention and criticism, then plays the victim card to her advantage. To my mind, she’s the Lady Gaga of politics at this point.
Of the NYPD’s 33,000 officers, 47.5 percent are white, 28.9 percent are Hispanic, 17.9 percent are black and 5.5 are Asian – which is almost a mirror of the city’s ethnic makeup (44 percent white, 27 percent Hispanic, 25 percent black and 11 percent Asian, according to the most recent census data).
I dunno arkady. I find the quality of her thinking, combined with her ignorance makes her stupid. Intelligent people don’t like being ignorant and she seems to love it.
rf, I have a suggestion for you. Not today with that particular discussion. It doesn’t go anywhere here and you are upset today. You should try to relax. Ok, I am finished channeling my mother. Peace.

if Palin is pres, you can mark my words now – I’m leaving this country. I’ll take my chances in Canada or back in China
Good points slope re blood libel. And to think she used in reference to the shooting of one of the only jewish members of congress.
