Does your theme camp embrace racial diversity?

[ygmir]

Confession: We have Fords, Chevys, and (gasp!) even a Dodge or two in our camp. We pride ourselves on our diversity!

IMHO if someone wants to be an idiot and start some bad pooky over random labels, trucks make a lot more sense than dunning people due to their race. You are STUCK with your race (well, there is Michael Jackson I guess) but you can trade-in a truck on a whim.

Darned Dodge drivers anyway. (((-shudder-)))

egad, what therefore, am I?:?

Dodge W350
Ford F250
FordF600
AM General M35A2 (x2)
Mack fire engine

Detroit , that requires a brave I do not possess.
It mixes white corporate in . eliminates the free sound

[Simon of the Playa]

For the record, our racial make up is Whities, Indian and Israeli.

oh thats right, i forgot....some of you still believe thats a race.....how do you say 'How Quaint' in German?

Learned to drive in my Moms Plymouth Fury station wagon. Three on the tree, 2-bbl, 360 cid. 8 mpg. Chicks loved it (not!). Then I got 440 magnum Challenger with a factory 6-pack and MOPAR made a believer out of me.

(BTW Yigmir, I think if you have a fire truck, it doesnt much matter what else you drive since everyone gets out of your way! Hopefully they wont notice the camper shell until after you have passed them.)

When in doubt, go for "gemütlich".

That is true! and I've found they don't have much of a sense of humor either. I spent 15 minutes in line, at the store listening to some guy argue with the cashier, after refusing to pay. his purchase totalled $6.66.

I can't wait to move back to California!

so, if no cities have been "bailed out", where does the question and statement about Detroit, it's make up, and any bailout, come from?
how is it pertinent, at all?

It's not, which is what makes Doc's comment even more egregious, it I'm correctly understanding what he was inferring.

I'd disagree. to me, he was trying to be as ridiculous as the statement was. Illustrating like with like ( I know there's a term for that, but can't remember it).

Which is why I asked him to clarify, as the illustration obviously escaped me. (Not to mention that the comment was stereotypically racist.)

[Lonesomebri]

If she has the kind of legs I like, embracing racial diversity is what I'm thinking about 48% of the time.

Nonsense. Simon stated, and that's what I commented on, that if Detroit was 83% white it "...already would have been bailed out..." That is the only racist comment made. And it smacks of typical left-wing racism: Whites rule the world and everyone else is just in their way. So get off my back.

[Simon of the Playa]

nd it smacks of typical left-wing racism: Whites rule the world and everyone else is just in their way.

no i'm afraid it smacks of the truth.


and obviously, you can't handle it.

[lemur]

for all of the claims that people have made that they embrace whomever and that basically, the question of race is unimportant to them... there sure is a lot of bickering and fighting whenever the subject comes up...

even in this thread!


so, perhaps we 'embrace' racial diversity in our camps.. but its likely that we've still not resolved all of the lingering divisive issues among ourselves.

[theCryptofishist]

I certainly haven't. Within myself, before I even get to the rest of you!

And you wonder why I raised an eyebrow?
BTW Have you noticed that the leader of the free world just happens to be black?
Can't take the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

[Lonesomebri]

Can't we all for once just pretend we are all the same color, no race?

Let's say, Green, and then we can segragate into light green and dark green camps.

Sorry sir, this bench is for Light Greens only....

[Simon of the Playa]

but what if you're half-blueish?

[Lonesomebri]

A half-blueish killed my parents.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

BLUE OR NOT BLUE

there is no green.
