70% of the country has the emotional maturity of a 3rd grader. Don't take such pride in your shallow, ignorant majority.

Are they racist when they point at me and single me out of security lines at Hartsfield? 
And, I personally don't appreciate the area being called 'Ground Zero' either. I will say that I was in a meeting last week led by a guy whose HQ was in one of the Towers and they lost 80% of their work force that day. So, you start to climb out from under that loss, shock, despair and you literally have to rebuild records.
It was powerful. We can all relate in some fashion, know someone who lost someone, etc. But, this was the first time I had experienced something to this magnitude. Literally, you could hear a pin drop. That said, I can certainly empathize with those whose feelings are still raw. Not everyone is a racist, but this is one of those issues that IS bringing out the worst in people. (Issues don't bring out the worst, however; it's how one reacts to life....yep, more accountability and it should be directed to both sides.) It's really sad and if the mosque group does move uptown a few blocks, my hat's off to them for seeing past 'principle' and holding onto the wisdom in that decision. If they decide to remain on their property, they have that right and will be supported as well as protected. I respect their decision either way.
I have only seen one other person on this board express concern for both sides.

:roll: No, I don't. I don't care to watch it.
Nice edit, Lucifer.
The principle of racism, making a judgment about someone's outer appearance is elementary no matter the environment. The left likes to spin it to their benefit.

Making a judgment and threatening somebody with physical violence due to ignorance shouldn't be elementary. That's what the video portrayed. If you'd have watched it, you might know that. Oh yeah, and nice edit.

No, I just see intolerance and lack of understanding. I see a lot of that in a lot of places.

I don't know about you, but I think intolerance and lack of understanding are the defining qualities of racism. It's just as bad I think. Well, actually I think they are one and the same. I'm not trying to create pariahs, I'm saying it's just plain wrong. The more thoughtful among us have an obligation to put a stop to this.
