Open up the flood gates

I am going go into something on this one that i never really go into. Race. I know what i am going to say is going to just down right piss someone off. But if what i say pisses a person, that person needs to look deep and see if it is actually true. Because nothing pisses some people off more than the truth.

Let me start by saying this. I am a Caucasian. I have more friends that are minorities than your average person. Black, White, Blue, Brown, Yellow to me it doesn't matter what the outward color of a persons skin may be. I am friends with people not for the color of their skin, but more important who they are as a person. In fact my ancestors in the Ohio valley were part of the underground railroad prior to and during the Civil War.

But what gets to me is all the talk of race in this country. You constantly hear about race in politics, and people will pull the race card at a moments notice. You constantly hear on TV, radio, news print, and internet about how we are a free society and that a persons color of skin should not be used to discriminate against them, which i FULLY agree with. But when people talk about the need for Race to not be a factor, and then bring race up at every turn, they go against what they said.

One of the biggest questions i have is this. Why is that one group can say a word or phrase and it be ok? However when another group says that word it is a racist comment? If it ok for one it should ok for all. If it is not ok for some it should not be ok for all.

But it seems that with this election season that the race card has been played and played and played. This is a ridiculous ploy. In this season it is no more than a ploy to get people off othe topics and onto race. It is a way to bully one group of people into thinking that if they do not vote for someone that they will be called a racist.

It is time to truly put Race to rest. It is time to look at people for who they are not what they look like, or what their skin color.

We have went from deliberate racism in this country, which was truly uncalled for. However reversing the racism is just as uncalled for.

We should fighting for the rights and liberty of all. Not petty fighting over skin color. Skin color will never fix any of the problems that we are in, but standing up for our rights and liberty will!

Utterly Ridiculous!

Viva Liberty!
