You tout the NAACP, but criticize anyone referring to a black man as a "colored person."

White, black, yellow, red, purple, and green it doesn't really matter. We have to quit harking on the race issue so much. Maybe I'm sounding foolishly naive here, but maybe we ought to judge people on the basis of their character and not on their skin color. I understand that discrimination based on skin color has been a reality for hundreds of years, but maybe we ought to stop thinking in terms of these labels. In my view, it is the multiculturist liberals who seek to divide us rather than to unite us. We can't pigeonhole ourselves based on our ethnic origins. We're Americans, to try and track down our ancestry is next to impossible. German, Irish, English, Scotish, French, Spanish, Italian, African and a whole bunch of others are part of the whole melting pot of American ethnicity. I don't like the whole hyphenated American thing either. We're here because we have an abiding respect for the American creed, that is what binds us together. I believe that we all want health, safety and prosperity. Why then do we have to focus in so much on race and skin color? We are all beset by the same problems. We live here because of the opportunity it provides all of us. To discriminate on the basis of the fact that one man has more melanin in his skin than another is kind of archaic. And yes, the liberal Democrats who are constantly bringing up race are the true racists out there.
