Are People so narrow minded that every disagreement is based on race?

Do they not realize, that most of the time, it is what you SAY and not

what you Look like that they disagree with.

If people would STOP saying RACE and start looking at both sides of an issue, they would be able to find the BEST parts of each parties offer.

Lord help us not ruin such a great country. Fortunately he usually saves us from ourselves.

God bless and have a great day.

Update:

By CONSTANTLY saying something, it actually comes true. So it is wise to say positive things so they will come true.I notice on some of the comments sections of articles about Obama, it is people from northern states that say Race much more than Southerners.

I was Yankee born and Southern raised.

In the south there are massive amounts of mixed relationships as I am sure there are all over the country. In one hundred years our entire country will be beige anyway. As long as we keep saying race, WE KEEP IT ALIVE.

It is like saying negative things to your children, that is what happens. SO SHUT UP ABOUT RACE. It is what he says Not what he is. HE IS WHITE ALSO ,REMEMEBER.

I just think it would be unbelievable sad if our first Half black President fails.

He is not omnipotent. But he is arrogant.

I just pray he does not ruin the best, most free country in the world. Then we all will learn a VERY sad lesson.

Update 2:

I can honestly say, I have NEVER heard the word UPPITY in regard to President Obama. Arrogant maybe but no uppity.

Update 3:

In 1950 as a small child, my family came from the midwest. The towns there were totally white. In Florida we saw water fountains for Whites only and restrooms for Whites only. These things change with evolution just like Man.

It takes time and has to be nurtured. It is like raising a healthy plant or child. They are what they see. We have to eliminate the Ugly to keep from sharing it and passing it on. Truth and education of what counts.

I have two Granddaughters. One never sees anger or hatred, the other has a toxic miserable Grandmother in her house, that fights at the drop of a hat, so she sees the same thing in her Mother and now as a young child she also shows the anger and toxicity in her personality.

All things MUST BE NURTURED TO GROW and this means kindness. If people were to stop imagining what they think people think or say instead of what they actually say, this would be a kinder world.

Update 4:

UNTIL EVERYONE DECIDES RACISM IS IN OUR PAST, IT WILL NEVER BE.

    Only Liberals think that way. Notice now how anybody who vehemently disagrees with Obama is called "racist" by the libs? Nuff said.

    No, every disagreement is not based on race.

    But it is a FACT that race has played a central part in the development of the U.S., and any fight is going to bring that out.

    Ever wonder why people who are against Obama use the word "uppity" so much? There are plenty of his _actions_ and _politics_ that can be argued with, but they so OFTEN talk about him being "uppity."

    Guess what word usually follows "uppity" in American slang?

    And there ya go, race is back into things.

    Why would you have people "stop saying race" when it's such a big part of what's going on? Does pretending that it's not, help ANYONE?

    I thought that we were almost through the raciest thing, but since Obama got into the white house it is back again.

    Racism is alive and growing unfortunately. And then we want to call this the greatest country on earth. Religion seems to be fueling the fire more and more.
