I know very well that we can't have an honest debate about racism here. It's a liberal forum. This is not the place.

However, know this: I grew up in Texas. I probably have very different ideas about what constitutes racism than you do. The way you described it, racism is in someone's heart and there's nothing you can do to change it so what's the point in worrying about it?

Do I know Dean? No. Do I claim to? No. I don't think he's a racist and never have. But do I know this for a fact? No. DO I care? Not really. It's stupid.

When I speculate about the positions Dean's taken on certain issues, I'm speculating about his record. You can try to smear me, by implying that I'm implying something about Dean, but I trust you can see how pointless and stupid this exercise gets about this point.

Go ahead, crucify me. See if I care.

But you could do yourself a favor and try and look at the situation realistically. Nobody made up those quotes. Dean said them. You may not like the implications he gave with those statements, but they are there for people to speculate on. It's still a free country, right? :eyes:
