| 25. So McCain hates his adopted daughter? |
|
I just don't think racism is a clear-cut issue. Where does one draw the line between stereotypes and racism? Is it just when a stereotype is negative? McCain has said and done a lot of things I don't agree with, but I think that race hasn't been a big issue. I'm not claiming to be an expert and if the information arises, I will amend my position.
I got blasted for calling Sen. Webb sexist for his comments in 1979, and I think this is much the same. McCain says something years ago and he's racist, while Sen Webb says something years ago, but, hey, that was in the past and he's changed. So, what's right?
Maybe both, maybe neither.
I'll go back to my statement that, whether or not McCain is a racist, the deliberate pandering to racists and the prejudiced is more deplorable. It is not the clean campaign he "promised" to run. Is that how he's going to govern? Probably, and it's unacceptable.

His daughter isn't black, and she isn't a "gook". So, his daughter isn't the issue. |
