    I love it! No negativity just a bunch of laughs!

    Hate is outdated and overrated. :salute:

    I thought this thread was going to be about the rally the buddist monks lead, but it was better.

    Gotta love it! :)

    I've never gotten into the whole protesting thing because... well... they tend to either get violent or just plain stupid so when I read this it was a breath of flour...errrr, fresh air. :D

    WIFE POWER!!!!!! :carrot:

    So awesome!! That's the bestest ever.
    All they needed was to add in some "Free Hugs" people.
    The only counter to hate is love.

    This is probably the only kind of "protest" I'd ever take part in... and I'd love every minute of it!
    I don't like clowns but by gosh, I'd be painting my face and putting on the big shoes for something like this! :carrot:

    Hm.. how can I put this without sounding like some sort of racist moron..? I do not like nor support the KKK. They are militant and warped in many ways, as anyone who has ever researched them instead of going on blind faith can attest. However.. ok.. the clowns are mocking them for saying "white power." Great. I am not a racist by nature.. but it is verry trying when I watch the evening news and see black groups holding "black power" rallies and having their own channel on TV and please do not even get me started on affirmative action. My belief is, the human being that is most qualified for a job or school position should get it; it should not be based on their race or sex.
    I really am not racist and do not intend to sound like I am. But it is not fair that as whites, we are always shamed for sticking up for our race, while other races are applauded and condoned for doing it. I realllllly honestly wish that all stupid "insert race here"--power" groups would be gone, be they black, white, purple, blue power. It is all rubbish and only serves to further instigate racial tensions and hate and inequities. But as is often proven, these times are by NO means enlightened or fair enough.. people can't even get over themselves religiously to tolerate other religions.. not to even mention people of other races or sexual orientations.. how sad people are. Shame on the KKK indidentally.. their group is based on cowards who could not even show their faces!

    I thought you worded that very well Jen and no, you didn't sound raciest at all. You make good points, although I must point out one that you forgot.... some races have an entire *month* dedicated to themselves. ;)

    Sad as it is, racism seems to be so integrated into our world and American society in particular that the whole thing is one huge hypocritical joke.

    Not to downplay my belief that the KKK and Nazis are a few cards short of the deck, just that, like Jen said, racism is everywhere and we accept it every day without even thinking about it. :(

    Any "ism" tends to be a bit ridiculous. How about I start a group...


    Middle Aged Brunette's Who Dye Their Hair To Hide The Grey Power!!!!!!

    That makes about as much sense as any of the rest of them.

    I do love those clowns though....clowns protesting another group of "clowns". Gotta love it! :carrot:

    (Btw if anyone's interested the group will meet at the park, march to WalMart for the deal on kitchen supplies, then march over to Target, then maybe have a lovely coffee and donut over at Tim Horton's, then we'll really hit our stride on the march over to pick up the dry cleaning and the kids from school....BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID!!!!)

    First off I want to say that because of seeing Stephen King's "It" when I was like 7 I hate clowns but those guys were great. WIFE POWER.

    Second, Jen, the reason I think the reason we are shamed for sticking up for our race is because the KKK and Nazis have made themselves the spokesmen for white people. So because of those inbreed rednecks all non-racist white people slip in to white guilt (guilt for what white people have done long ago or a small handfull are still doing). I agree with you, white, black,or purplebe proud of who you are as an independant person.
