The View From 'Here'

I hope you got to see The Vew where the discussion was:  The "N" Word.  It absolutely drives me nuts, but it may just be 'the best' example of a double standard one can ever see.  You can apply what happened on that show to 'any' difference between liberals and conservatives.  A liberal will always have an excuse to continue on with their view (pun intended).  A conservative, even one who is 'trying' to change their view is discounted. 

Elizabeth, no matter what you think of her, was trying to express how we should all move on from using that word.  Whoopie and Sherry are not only adamant about continuing to use the word, but defiant about it.  And the other two?  Hiding under their chairs.  Oh well, it was a good example of why I believe the way I do.  And I will say it again.  With Barrack having risen as high as he has, that alone should be testament to how this country has changed.  If he is elected President one would think all the arguments would go away.  They won't.  I FIRMLY believe racism in this country is being set back aloooong ways... very sad to me.
