You fill your posting with terms such as 'liberal', 'conservative', KKK - frankly, my dear, you sound about as British as Rodeo Drive.

"If I can get that"?

Oh I see, you are saying I cannot understand, because of my ethnic background?

This is racism of the highest order!

@hoppy Said

Become raceless. It's a joke. You are supposed to laugh now.

@chaski Said

Someone seems obsessed with racism.

Perhaps trying to hide her own racism. [/QUOT

ah... so it (phobia) applies to racism too? f***, maybe a lil reverse psychology will work here by shouting out things racist and the idiots will scream out we are lying...

I am not sure of your point.

But, yes, (ultimately) isn't racism a form of phobia... xenophobia... bolshephobia... etc. ?

I am not sure that "shouting out things racist" will work, but have at it if you think it will work.

Black people can shout out things racist at white people while white people shout out things racist at black people... then the "yellow" and "brown" people can jump in... hell, we can all start shouting racist things at each other and see if that solves the problem. And, if we get tired of that we can add in eye color, hair color... religions are already part of the hate game...

But if you say so, sure, let's all just be intolerant and constantly yell s*** at each other and never pay any attention to the good people... but maybe there are no good people... everyone is to blame for everyone else's issues.

Is that what you mean?

Sure... maybe your reverse psychology will work.

Okay so every one is standing around yelling racist s*** and pointing at other races and cultures all the while . Now where do the people that just flat refuseto join in and be racist, stand to yell curses at everyone what losers they are all because they are racist ?

"Historians of LDS thought agree that in the late 1960s, Church leaders backed away from the legends of Cain and Ham put forward by Brigham Young and those who followed him. My research on your query suggests that the last time a General Authority (high-ranking Church leader) taught over the pulpit at General Conference that the Curse of Cain was connected to the priesthood ban was Ezra Taft Benson in 1967. (Although it should be noted that Bruce R. McConkie–an outlier on this issue–continued to incorporate obsolete doctrines on race into his writing beyond the late 1960s.) The teaching has disappeared from contemporary Church manuals. You may, however, still hear it by word of mouth, as I did when I was a kid. My professors at Brigham Young University in the late 1980s taught me to dismiss it as a distortion.

To my knowledge, no Church leader has ever stood at the pulpit and formally renounced the idea that Cain or Ham are the source of racial Blackness and the priesthood ban. Perceptive observers note that the LDS Church leadership prefers to let old doctrines fade away quietly rather than address them directly. On race issues especially, I think this leads to missed opportunities. While younger generations of Mormons may rarely think about and may not even know about the Church’s history with African-Americans, older Mormons continue to quietly harbor outmoded ideas, and many non-Mormons, especially African-Americans, are aware of the Church’s past teachings but without a formal renunciation do not know whether such doctrines continue. In 2006, Church President Gordon B. Hinckley did state over the pulpit at General Conference that racism is unequivocally wrong and totally unacceptable among Church members. His comments were welcomed by African-American Mormons and their allies."

How did you get from a Catholic school in Chicago Ill. to a Mormon University in Provo, Utah?

BTW. You sure had me believing you didn't know much about Mormons and their ways.

HUH?? I have never been to or inside of a "Mormon" anything! The post you quoted of mine, is an excerpt from an article I linked to in that same post I believe. I have no idea what you're asking me????

@chaski Said

We could a just run around screaming... that might work.

Actually I have always been a fan of what I like to call evolving-tolerance. My grandfather wasn't perfect, grew up in a time of considerable racism... but he was "better" than his father, and taught his children well... my mom wasn't perfect, but was better than her father and taught her children well... my siblings and I are not perfect.... etc.

If tolerance continues to evolve, then racism will begin to fade. It may not ever fully disappear, but will mostly fade away.

But maybe that is idealistic nonsense and we should run around pointing the finger at everyone else and yelling racist s***.
