I guess it must be time for me to give "Pants" and some other folks the opportunity to bash me again...here's the thing, the above post is racist, pure and simple. I don't know Nascar and frankly I have no desire to but that is a racist post! Jesse Jackson bashing is a forum activity, and as a public figure, he's fair game as is Al Sharpton and even "Calipso Lewie"...the fact that I respect all three is one man's opinion, equally valid but no more so than the opinion of those who feel differently...just because someone feels compelled to "call out" all three doesn't make their remarks racist, but what exactly, aside from being black, do the two women mentioned have to do with the subject? The woman from NC did something that harms victims of male sexual aggression everywhere...she apparently made up the entire story, possibly (I don't know) in an attempt to eventually sue a "bunch of rich folks". She was dead wrong and her lies harmed a lot of people...BUT, why mention her instead of the scumbag DA who attempted to win an election and make a name for himself by pandering to racial distrust and sensationalism? Wasn't he disbarred and last I heard possibly facing criminal prosecution?? Seems to me he would be a more fitting example of what folks here seem to think is "political whoring"...but oh yeah, he's WHITE! And the woman who accused Kobe Bryant of rape...apparently her story didn't add up but instead we hear about Tawana. Of course, that woman was WHITE! Tawana was a kid who, to escape being punished for her behavior, made up a wild story about unidentified cops...was it wrong? Of course...but how many million kids OF ALL RACES do the same thing? The difference there was that it snowballed and innocent folks once again were effected. Blame Al for responding before the facts were known and I accept the point but bring up some kid who told a lie in a thread about "political whores" and I just don't see the connection...EXCEPT SHE IS BLACK! This is racism no matter what defense is offered, and no number of snide, belittling or attack-oriented posts directed forthwidth toward me will change that!
