I totally accept that he won two elections, but thought from the beginning that it was the end of life as I knew it. I respect the decision of the majority, and if the majority wants an end to the country I grew up in, so be it. Frankly, I'm too old to care.

What I do find offensive is to repeatedly refer to the POTUS as "the black President". He is THE President.

"When someone says it is a bad thing to have a black President, and people don't immediately jump all over a racist remark like that, I know I need to find another place to converse."

Who said it, and where is it, that somebody here said it is a bad thing to have a black president???

And so WHAT if somebody said that and nobody jumped on it? This thread has many deletions, and so maybe whatever was said got deleted by the moderator before it could be "jumped on as a racist remark"!!

I don't understand what you mean when you say that "from the beginning that it was the end of life as I knew it." An end to the country that you grew up in? You are right about one thing. You are too old to have any innovative ideas.

I for one wish you would stay. America's Friendliest Hometown wasn't feeling too friendly to me lately!

Yes, I do remember it and sadly it seems like here we go again, that's why I posted the Dennis Prager column (that he wrote today on his website),earlier this morning about this horrible event in Brooklyn.

My last post is referring to this post ... this problem keeps going on & on & on...

I don't think the thread should be shut down. The whole forum is here so that people can find out more about life in TV. There is a giant myriad of opinions here in TV, contrary to what many who've never even been here think.

I think it's a good thing if people can read and see that TV is not what it's often accused of being: "Nothing but old, white, rich, R's". That is far from fact or reality and the discussions on this board are evidence of it.

This thread and other recent ones like the gay marriage one show a huge variety in opinions and in fact, some gay/lesbian posters said they liked reading that there are plenty of people posting both sides of the issue here, and it made them have a lot fewer reservations/hesitations about moving here.

That is a good thing, I think. These topics can be discussed with a balance of differing opinions, without mentioning the dang politicians and parties whose goal is to divide us.

And if people don't want to read this thread or others, they have the freedom to choose not to read it. And they also have the freedom to block certain posters' writings from their view here.

if true ... seems like such a small amount.

The news media, at least the LSM, wanted this to be racial. CNN called George Zimmerman a White Hispanic. Well his mother looked White and his father from Central America. That, in the words of Dr. Benjamin Carson on Fox and Friends would be like calling President Obama a White African American, (I would have said a White Black, since there are many White Africans in Southern Africa).
Saw pictures of Zimmerman's Great Grand Mother, she was Black African American. This was not racial.

This was a tragedy all around, Travon Martin Dead and George Zimmerman will live with his guilty conscience, always wondering how it could have turned out better. No one happy.

fyi; George Zimmerman's mother is from Peru, his father is Caucasian. So in reality he is 1/2 white or Caucasian and 1/2 Peruvian
