Hence my point. Nothing of any intelligent content can be accomplished with opinions like yours.

It’s hard being you, isn’t it?

I don't agree with what happened in the beginning with the tree but for Gods sake, These are school kids doing stupid things to get a reaction and the DID the whole thing became national news, Parents and Jackson, Sharpton. Two embarrassment's representing the black race as far as I am concerned storming down the street. Hea put your energy and outrage into the lack of educational opportunities for poor and minorities, or the ever escalating violence gun violence , drug abuse and you might just accomplish something. Shake your fist at that, stomp down the street with signs demanding a better America, instead it just brought up OLD scabs and the focus was in the "Poor black" students. it accomplished NOTHING.

My entire point was that stupid reactions like this one are the ones that empower silly rants like yours. Oh, nonsense, Ellen.

It means nothing to me anymore. I close my eyes and ears as soon as I hear the word because it is usually one long SOB, LIFE'S UNFAIR story about someone not getting what they wanted WHEN they wanted it and HOW , not about being beaten, working 18 hours a day 7 days a week sleeping on cold floors, eating every other day. Those people and only those have earned the right to use the term racism. If people had gotten sick at the Barbeque because the LAW wasn't enforced about no food not cooked on sight they would call THAT racism.

I've been called a lot of things for prohibiting home-prepared foods at licensed food events. Hell, I'm nearly certain a local PTA put a hit out on my life. But racist? No, that's not one I've ever heard. The story surprises me because it's not a regulation that's usually enforced by very many health departments - at least that's been my experience.
