Can she say fire in a crowded theater if there isn't one?Quote:

Ok. Just to be clear, a true conservative is someone who favors traditional views, and frowns upon change.Quote:

"Raghead" is no different than "Nigger", "Kike", "Spick", etc... all of which are harmful.
The point I was trying to make is that during a time when there is animosity between muslims, and non-muslims, it's best not to throw a match into a puddle of gasoline.
Racism is bad in general, but now it is especially bad.
Now is a time when we should be using diplomacy to work out our differences. Military action is NOT our only resource.
Have you ever heard of Lenny Bruce? Here is a bit from Julian Barry's screenplay, "Lenny." It's as true today as it was then:Quote:

"Are there any niggers here tonight?" I know there's one nigger, because I see him back there working. Let's see, there's two niggers. And between those two niggers sits a kike. And there's another kike— that's two kikes and three niggers. And there's a spic. Right? Hmm? There's another spic. Ooh, there's a wop; there's a pollock; and, oh, a couple of greaseballs. And there's three lace-curtain Irish micks. And there's one, hip, thick, hunky, funky, boogie. Boogie boogie. Mm-hmm. I got three kikes here, do I hear five kikes? I got five kikes, do I hear six spics, I got six spics, do I hear seven niggers? I got seven niggers. Sold American. I pass with seven niggers, six spics, five micks, four kikes, three guineas, and one wop. Well, I was just trying to make a point, and that is that it's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness. Dig: if President Kennedy would just go on television, and say, "I would like to introduce you to all the niggers in my cabinet," and if he'd just say "nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger" to every nigger he saw, "boogie boogie boogie boogie boogie," "nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger" 'til nigger didn't mean anything anymore, then you could never make some six-year-old black kid cry because somebody called him a nigger at school."
Go into Harlem and call the first black person you see a "Nigger", and tell me how it goes...
I think I could get away with it. I'm black.
Ok... then go into the jewish section of manhattan, and call the first person you see with a black hat, long curls, and a beard, "Kike", and tell me how it goes.Quote:

Most little kids say that. They say it a lot. So much in fact that it has lost any power it may have had. Lenny Bruce was 100% right. The more you say it, the less power it has.Quote:
