One of the few times you ever noticed a comment of mine and you had a buffoon kind of response for a professor. I didn't ACCUSE you of BEING a racist I questioned if you were. I therefore assume you are lacking the intestinal fortitude to admit the situation. For me this is a proper response to a rotten relationship.This confirms that you don't have to return my telephone call last evening, just fluck off.

Although, as a spectator, it's interesting to see both sides of this 'discussion,' I too am not going to get too directly involved. However, my 'Free-Thinking Non-Conformity' forces me to once again point out just one discrepancy in your assessment of our current president ( whether it's a 'positive' or not ): he is not an African-American, because there's no such thing as an African-American! If you're born in this country, raised in this country, work in this country, pay taxes in this country, and abide by the laws of this country, you're an American, period! Everybody here came from someplace else! My ancestors on my mother's side came from Ireland, and from Poland on my father's side, two European countries. But I don't refer to myself as a European-American! Why do people who immigrated from Africa need to be referred to as African-Americans? Egypt is in Africa, but I'll bet you wouldn't refer to an Egyption living here as an African-American! If people are going to refer to me as 'white,' then I'm going to refer to our president as 'black.' No disrespect, no condescension, nothing derogatory . . . just simple, honest, straight-forward language!

Sorry . . . I just had to get that off my chest! Peace!

Since one is my beloved Husband and the other a dear Blogit brother, I shall tiptoe out ...

I love both of you in the sense you are my dear Blogit brothers. But as a citizen of the United States and not one bit racist I find this the most immoral impostor that has ever even pursued the white house. If you will listen to one full speech you will hear him make a declaration and turn around and make the opposite. He lies on a basis no one I have ever heard of before.

I love both u Canucks but we don't our country anymore, we don't need this man in office.

An excellent explanation of your feelings there, Naut. I look forward to your responses to other comments you have planned to address.

Of course, as always, interesting comments from both of you.  I am glad though that the two of you were not in fisty-cuff range.  LOL
