So I went away for a bit, and had to come back and reply again.. you defintiely accomplished your goal of being inflammatory.

If you are able to listen to comments such as those made by Bennett and say with all sincerity that it is in no way racist, then you are part of the problem.

This quote smacks of the unfortunate "its my way or the highway" type of logic that prevents people from seeing the gray in life. I urge you to consider the fact that nothing in life, except the colors themselves, are truly black-and-white. By saying "unless you agree with my intepretation of his comments, you're helping racism" its pretty evident that your viewpoint is the ONLY nonracist one. I'm not trying to flame anyone in particular, but realize that your way is not the only way. Although some would say that unless you support bush, you're unpatriotic, or unless you see this as racist, you're helping racism -- its quite simply not true. You can support your troops without supporting their Commander in Chief, just like you can fight racism without seeing it in Bennet's statements. There is always a gray, and saying that it's "your way or the highway" is an ignorant viewpoint if you ever hope to understand other people.
