Here's what's sailing over your head, Screamer:
Your attempt to broad-brush "all" Democrats as racist and "all" Republicans as champion white knights on white horses (OK that part might be accurate) is the same fallacy as your broad-brushing Paula Deen's party registration as some kind of causal effect for her use of the word "******". It isn't. That's cultural, not political. That's exactly why the Thurmonds and Helmses don't mind switching parties -- it's a lot easier than switching one's culture. And considering I already 'splained to you the differmints between culture and politics and you couldn't grasp it, we'll just leave it there until you do.
Bottom line here is the same as it was with your Australian link: culture is not politics. To equate the two just to try to smear one's despised political group is rhetorical bullshit. Basically you're playing the same fallacy over and over and expecting different results.
"Penguins are black and white; old TV shows are black and white. Therefore penguins are old TV shows"
So if it's cultural then it's ok? I mean that's what your excuse for rappers saying it....and lets be honest I find it funny how people go apeshit over one word.....it's not a big deal, she says ******, trayveon says cracker, who gives a shit.
Nowhere did I say it's "ok" and nowhere have I said anything about (c)rappers. Nice try. Actually it's a horseshit try, but we don't have a colloquialism for that. Let's just leave it at "liar".
What I said was that it's logical bullshit to try to make the case that "Paula Deen is a Democrat, so since she said "******" all Democrats are racist". Just as it would be the same fallacy to assert "Paula Deen is a Capricornian, so since she said "******" all Capricornians are racist" or "Paula Deen is righthanded, so since she said "******" all righhanders are racist"..
Well, yeah, Deens use of the word doesn't mean that ALL Democrats are racist, but it isn't surprising either and somehow it seems more at home in the Democratic party where most the people that use that word are.
