While at work tonight, a gentleman approached me stating to my co-worker who happened to be black as he was that he liked the color of her skin. I am sorry but this was a racist remark and I just idolly had to sit back and not say anything as I am professional. I can only think that this person supports BLACK LIVES MATTER when I think ALL LIVES MATTER. This statement was just crazy to me. If people think that this country is not divided due to Obama and his establishment, you need to get your heads out of the sand. This was totally disgusting to me and I will definitely be voting for Trump as we have got to have change and between the two, he is our better candidate - TRUMP/PENCE ticket all the way baby.

Not, it was not a racist remark - Val
[ In Reply To ..]No more than "I like the color of your eyes." "Racism" is denigrating a "race" of people based on stereotypical assumptions and denying them opportunities by restricting access to education, loans, etc. Trump is not your savior. He says what people want to hear. As a transcriptionist, you should wonder about his incoherency and lack of plans.
I always heard - sm

skin color - not race
[ In Reply To ..]I'm white. There have been times when I've seen black people with an absolutely stunning skin color and wanted to say something just to appreciate it, similar to "I like the color of your eyes". I've never actually said it because of the risk of my thoughts being taken wrong. If a conversation goes into the world of beauty (or lack of), I have said that I thought the person was beautiful which was true also. I was a child back in times when saying anything about color (especially to a race different from your own) could get you beat up. I hesitate to rock that boat now when things are heating up again. It's not race in this case. Granted, it's race that gives a person whatever color they are, but to simply say you like the "shade" they are isn't racist.
There is a difference between racial and racist. - Olga

White people (of which I am one) are so odd. - They discriminate against people who - sm
[ In Reply To ..]are born with darker-hued skin than theirs. Yet as a group we spend millions each year on suntan lotion and self-tanners (as our famous orange presidential nominee does) in order to look darker.
Silly humans!

I am from North Carolina and am embarrassed about how people can behave just to make a point. Be civilized and know the facts before you destroy property and peoples livelihoods. This is just sickening to me. Life is not fair but just because there are a few bad apples does not mean all are bad. We have to have Police so that we do not have chaos. I don't know about you but I appreciate the police and what they do for me. If a policeman tells me to put th ...

I am from North Carolina and wonder if there are people on here from NC and wonder how do they feel about not showing ID at the polls. I mean we have to show our ID's and it is a fairly simple process to get one so how is this discriminatory. Can someone explain this to me. I always thought that this was a way to help deter fraud. I mean when Obama got elected there was definitely fraud so how can it be prevented? ...

At my job the other day, I had to take some information for a client and needed a SS# (they were Hispanic but could have been anybody from another country) and she just basically told me she did not have one. How right is this. I could see me, an American, going into a place of business to get service and being asked my SS#, they would just laugh at me and tell me to move on. This is just not right. If you cannot be in this country legally then you don't need to resi ...

I just wanted to thank you for your post below and let you know that I responded to it. I don't know if you saw it or not, since I was a little tardy in responding, and with all the recent activity on the board, it's now down towards the bottom of the page. It's the post where you said you half agree with me and half disagree. I don't know if you didn't see it or just chose not to respond (which is fine). Either way, I thought your post was awesome and thank you for pos ...

I am sitting here watching Morning Joe and feeling queasy as they are talking about how people are going to respond the day after a Hilary Clinton win. I hate the way the media protrays Trump supporters. We are very intelligent people who do have a life beyond politics but who do care about all people. The fact is Hilary Clinton should be in jail. Others that have commited less crimes than she has are in jail so what makes her so special. She is protected by t ...

Women in America will be much safer under Trump's Immigration, Border, and Law Enforcement policies than that of Hillary. American Women will have better jobs and wages under Trump's Tax, Regulation, and Trade policies than that of Hillary. Women in our Military will be much safer under Trump's Foreign, Military, and Rules of Engagement policies than that of Hillary. Women of the World will be much safer under Trump's Foreign policy than that of Hillary. Women??????........ma ...

I think it is dispicable for the Clinton campaign to bring in people who for all intense purposes lives will be exploited (the model that just came out whos character is not the best) for years to come just like Monica Luwinsky. Let's face it, Donald Trump is not perfect and neither is she. However, in the big picture, as a voter, I honestly could care less about this issue. The issues that I am most concerned with are the economy, immigration and military strength. ...

This month on this forum we have read 3 stories from our sisters whose lives are being turned upside down by infidelity (and even stories of women who wish they were sister wives.) I have to admit, my first instinct is to tell these sisters of ours to kick these dog men out of their lives and suck it up and get over them, that they deserve better than this, that no one should ever break our hearts like this. Then this weekend my little sister came home and told the family that her h ...
Response To SM/Anon Post At Bottom Of PageNov 26, 2012
My thoughts exactly. Absolutely impossible to post anything on this board that might in the least be able to be twisted into a negative against Pres Obama. I taught my sons and now my grandchildren first and foremost to be honest to establish a character that others can trust and respect, to be compassionate, to be open-minded but to be true and not swayed from their established values. I think almost any open-minded individual reading this board would agree there is very much a bullying nature ...
