In Obama era, have race relations improved?

[Teddy B 17,252]

but how will lesbians impact race-relations?

It would depend on their religous beliefs.

I am sure she gets paid. I doubt anyone would want her on a show for her wit or intellect.

so she get a decent paycheck for showing her "wit or intellect" on a show.

kinda wonder how many people make that kind of $$$$$ in such a short period of time? do you?

I doubt it. Most talk show hosts probably book her for the comedic value of her appearances, what with the gaffes and faux pas for which she has become notorious.

I say good for her for finding something at which she is good and from which to derive income. Times are tough and everyone needs to make a living.

I believe the issue is offended a liberal who believes homosexuality is a normal way of life be offended by someone calling her a lesbian? The intent was to insult her with that term because the person making the insult does not believe homosexuality is normal.

Ofcourse, I didn't write the post you're referring to, so I can't speak for the intent of the poster, I was simply explaining to you what I took from the post.

No.... The issue is that people who use homosexuality as an insult further prejudice against gay people. That's the problem people have with it.

You seem to want to twist that in order to trivialise the intent to offend vs. whether or not someone is actually offended by being called gay.

The intent to offend is what's its about.

gender bias is 'race relations' ?

I can understand about the same issues for 'race relations' but that's really not 'race relations'.

Lesbians are a different 'race', all of a sudden? hmmmmm

Conversations branch onto other things. Perhaps reading the thread would help.

I'm not sure why you insist on a back and forth with me over the intent of someone elses comments. Go talk to the op, I really don't care what their intent was.

Well we all remember things differently, but 'vitriol' is hardly calling her stupid because she couldn't answer basic questions.

Using extreme swear words and making out that someone is dog ugly, that's vitriol.

she IS every bit as homely as palin is dumb.

It's not difficult. If someone calls another person a **, is it unreasonable to infer that the aim of the person who said it is to offend the other person, regardless of how the 'victim' perceives the insult. I think you're being obtuse.

How come nobody complains about the discrimination against attractive women in politics? A milf like Palin didn't stand a chance.

One could look at that two ways. I personally believe that the only reason Palin reached the level in politics that she did was solely because of her looks. I mean let's face it, the woman is as dumb as a bag of rocks, she brings absolutely nothing else but her looks to the table. Eventually the people had to come to their senses and stop the charade.

Ofcourse the intent is to offend the other person, but if that other person IS a **, or approves of a ** lifestyle, should they be offended?

How do you explain Obama? Handsome as hell, smooth as velvet, dumb as a post.
