How does that make Nascar's post racist?
Not all of us here are.......
but it doesn't make us racists.

The original post was about a specific topic and Jackson's remarks about same...throwing Sharpton and Lewie into the mix is typical of the responses I read here and no...mentioning them doesn't make one a racist or their post racist BUT Tawana and Crystal have nothing to do with the topic, except for being black. Sure Sharpton bloodied his own nose with the Brawley mess but he was not part of the original subject himself until Nascar started throwing names of black folks around. What does "bleeding heart" have to do with anything? When did I call Nascar a racist? I was very careful to state that I don't know the individual and that it was the post not the person that I referred to as racist. Your oversimplification of the issue is interesting but not enough to keep me involved in a debate that, as usual, quickly deviates from the subject at hand to folk's tirades.
