The point is simple.....you were excusing the insults directed against Bush because you wrongfully assumed occurred in the 1990's. I was saying....President or not at the time The point is simple, all public figures including Presidents and others....past and present as well as high-profile newsmakers/shakers are rightly or wrongly, afforded public figure status. I can assure you that if I am allowed to post these side-by-side depictions of those websites, your entire tune would change....Bank on it. The reason you NEVER heard of that movie is because the mainstream Washington Press Corps which is overwhelmingly Liberal and who voted for Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama & Obama by nearly 90% clearly demonstrates what us Conservatives have KNOWN for decades....the mainstream media is nothing more than a tool of propaganda for the Liberals. I didn't 'excuse' anything,, I merely stated that at a state sponsored event it is unacceptable to pay anyone to come and promote violence against the sitting president there are many things said in media and in other situations that are offensive as well, and when it comes to people being PAID doing the offending, their EMPLOYERS have the right to dictate acceptable and non acceptable behavior,,,

On page five of this thread, you spoke of my reference to George Zimmerman being called a "White Hispanic" and how that was very offensive depictiona nd you excused the criticism of that as "Hispanic" is a race and black is an ethnicity. That was my point about that.

I agree with the employer having the right to do things as they please...since it comes out of Private pockets"...however, why did you NOT address my point about the U. S. schools which freely shove Liberal Ideals down our children's thoats even though many of us are disgusted over this? In essence.....why is it perfectly okay to go after the Rodeo Clown for his free speech at a Ste Sponsored event but it is NOT okay to demand a State Sponsored School System cease the politicizing of liberal ideals and holds rotten teachers accountable?

That was my point about that. Hispanic: Of or relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, esp. those of Latin America. spain and Spanish speaking countries have more than one RACE that's why Hispanic isn't about race,, its about nationality and there is nothing I Can see which is offensive in that there are blacks of Hispanic ethnicity as well,,,,

You're going to lose the argument...... Zimmerman was first referred to as being a White Male" and when it was discovered his mother was I believe Honduran, suddenly he became known as a "White Hispanic"....with emphasis on "WHITE." Yet, when have you EVER HEARD the media refer to Obama as being a "White Black male" or a "Black-White male?" The answer is simple.....NEVER. Zimmerman was villified as being a "WHITE Hispanic male because he shot Trayvon.....with emphasis on WHITE. When has Obama EVER been referred to as being a WHITE BLack or a Black White?

Im not arguing anything,, there is no consistent subject to even focus on for an argument truly we have RACIAL Classifications,, white and black are both racial we also have ETHNIC classifications,, Hispanic is an ethnic classification Im sure if the president was a black hispnic, it would be said so a black white doesn't have any similar context, as it describes TWO RACES,,,, Im sure as well, that it was the ZIMMERMAN family who first pointed out that Z was Hispanic in ethnicity,,,,,the cops who interviewed him placed his RACE as white,,, it would be like describing someone as a feminine female (because there are masculine females),, or a male female they are different CATEGORIES ,,,

They've taken our rights, our pensions, our money, our jobs and our homes.....our ability to enjoy a good joke, freedom of expression and humorous entertainment is about all that's left for them to do away with Notice how it is quickly turned into a race card instead of one of political policy! I don't even see what it had to do with political policy it was a local event which had an incident inappropriate and disrespectful towards the sitting president but then again, I don't think highly of those who get excited at the idea of a bull mowing down ANYONE this country is full of scary folks,,, it was completely inappropriate, not at all humorous. I find the picture in the OP highly offensive. I can't see why is that so hard to understand. This is out sitting President who is having a difficult enough time trying to climb out of racial politics that people keep throwing at him to get something done. Have some respect I certainly do not agree with him on all things, but I also disagreed with my mom....I would never be offensive to her tho - not on purpose anyway

Then why are blacks automatically referred to as being "African-American" when it is most likely their true ancestral lineage is unknown? Besides that, African is merely a contient and yet the left panders to those of a designated minority status and came up with the hyphenated African-American designation. If you still feel that is acceptable, then explain to me why the terms Australian-American, European-American, North American-American, and South American-American are not common designations? The only ones that are hyphenated are African and Asian-Americans.....conveniently liberal minority classifications. Forget the fact, Asians make up the largest percentage of the global population. I will leave the Antarcticans alone for this segment.

Let's pick some nits. There are three to five races in the world. African/American is not, repeating for the slow readers, not a race. The three most acknowledged are : Caucasian Mongoloid Negroid

When have you ever heard of Tiger Woods as being an Asian-African-American? Yes, many refer to his Asian roots, HOWEVER, I have NEVER heard someone in the media refer to him as being an Asian-African American or vice-versa!

African/American is not a race. It is a sub-class. Making it an ethnicity. Or, do you wish to call anthropologists liars and they don't know what the hell they talking about? The anthropologically correct term for the negroid race is negro, for an individual. Don't like it? Sue science.

If they mean the same thing....WHY is Obama NEVER referred to as being African-Caucasian American or vice-versa? Zimmerman would NEVER have been referred to as being a "WHITE Hispanic male had he been shot by a White male. He would only have been referenced as being Hispanic, the exact same way Obama is NEVER classified as being an African-Caucasian American or vice-versa. It does indeed matter as once again, double-standards are implemented by the left.

It does indeed matter as once again, double-standards are implemented by the left. because he holds a historic place as the first 'african' American man in the white house there is no shortage of 'white' males who have held the title,,, I cant explain the difference between ethnicity ( a subgroup WITHIN race) and race any better than I already have its not a double standard, its understanding the difference in the CATEGORIES we use to describe people and their background,,, and again, it was the ZIMMERMAN FAMILY who initially corrected the media by pointing out their boy was hispnic,, the media followed the description the FAMILY chose to use,,,,
