I just made a massive sacrifice and watched 5 minutes of "The View" talking about racism.

Wow, amazing to see these liberal idiots trying to out lib each other. In the end Whoopi Goldberg made just a wee bit more sense than the other idiots full of White Guilt.

Coming in the fall of 2015: Tunnel Vision. A TV talk show just for conservative old white guys.

That would actually be a working title for a show for liberals.
They would love it and the irony would escape their feeble minds.

Alas, the irony of a conservative using an idea from a feeble-minded liberal as a way to denigrate feeble-minded liberals has truly escaped my feeble mind.

Look at all these old white people. Must be conservatives! Oh, no...wait. They are a MoveOn community meeting in LA. No black people, not even a token one. Must not be any black people in LA.

Here is another picture of the move on la council. If you want to count heads they have the 9.6 % African American that the population of LA has. Also remember Cali the land of the old 'white' hippies. They gravitate to these type of meeting with zeal, and its probably not a problem to get a room full of them and no they are not conservatives.

Well, the last big get together we had, and another dinner next week for everyone:
1 vietnamese woman (she is the one who cooks and brings us food)
2 lesbians (our nieces, wonderful girls even if they are going vegan on me and no longer want bacon)
5 liberals (included my lovely wife) (7 counting the nieces)
2 conservatives.

Looking that that?
It is a wonder we all get along so well!

Gosh, I didn't realize a photo of white people meant there must not be anything but white people. Silly me. Let's show a photo of all non-white people and claim whites don't exist either.

I'm not surprised. Most liberals get along with folks.

Yes, which is why I specifically said "conservative" old white men.

Actually I didn't read any of your posts, just reacting on the council pic

And where are the Hispanics? In California they already represent almost 40% of the entire population, meaning they are mostly being ignored by this group of Conserv... wait, did you say Liberals? How about Asians (Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans etc) which represent 13.6% of the population, a little more than double the black population which is 6.6%? I don't see them represented in the picture.

What about the totally forgotten American Indians, who represent 1.7% of the population in Cali? Don't they deserve at least one or two souls in that pic?

It seems that the #1 preoccupation in the US (just like in this picture) is to make sure that blacks must always appear in the right proportion of the population or preferably higher. Must be that peculiar virus that only affects White Liberals, called "White Guilt"

The rest of the major population groups is of little interest. One day if those groups decide to protest, then maybe they'll show up in the pictures.

Oprah seems to think that old white people simply have to die. I don't hear anyone call her a racist. Do you think old white men need to die as well? Weren't they part of the generation of fu--ing hard working people that helped make America great?

I took a class with a girl that looked to me 'lilly white" one day she did a speech about being Hispanic, I learn you have to ask and not 'count'.

But for the sake of the pic, It very well can be 30 percent. Which isn't terribly off.

Well, certain people wanted a war with the police.
They got their wishes.

Yes I agree that a certain % of Hispanics are white, because they originated from Europe and then settled in Central + S. America, but there is also a considerable % that have features like American Indians. How about the Asians... those are really easy to identify. So I would say that at least one third of the whites in that picture should be kicked out and replaced by Redskined Hispanics and Asians. Only then would it be truly representative of the population of California.

Esta Es La Pura Verdad

Fo course, it's silliness. Though I see it done all the time to Republican groups. Your "old white guys" commented prompted it. Why always revert to racial, age, and sex discrimination? Just tacking "conservative" onto that phrase doesn't make it any better. Maybe we should forget the tribalism and discuss ideas on their merits.

There's a nice debate going on right now between Rand Paul and Marco Rubio that pretty well defines one of the fractures on the Republican side. I can't agree with the imperial way Obama did it, but I'm glad the pointless Cuba embargo has been lifted. And I don't even own any Cuba domains!

Yet you don't say anything about all the posts that always call liberals idiots, feeble-minded, assholes, loonies, etc. It's hard to discuss anything on merit when insults are the merit. Look at the last couple of pages and see for yourself. And notice the "sacrifice" post that started this last fracas, which also has no merit.
