loquitur

consider as well that most of us don't have racial hangups and have better things to do with our time than try to figure out how to stick it to people who are different.

I also find it distressing, as well as intellectually dishonest, that many left-leaners will try to make every discussion about race even if it has nothing to do with race. We were discussing economics, host, not race. My argument has zero to do with anyone's skin color. And I resent it deeply that you are trying to make this into a racial thing. I would venture to say I probably have more people of different races, ethnicities and sexual orientations in my life than most people, and I don't appreciate the insinuation that if I don't agree with your view of things it makes me a racist.
