245. c,
“one last thing, please do not over generalize and make assumptions about anyone.”

Oh really? See, “an unsavory young man” from your own assumptive post. -Considering the black community is rampant with young people having sex I’d think you’d use a little more equanimity.

-Do you even read yourself? You’re comparing teaching about the Holocaust to a political cartoon to give veracity to your argument? Oh c’mon now, teach! Cut me some slack! ;)

“By the way, my white students were the ones most offended by the comic”

Well, DUH! Of COURSE they were because the onus is on ‘whitey’ after all. Get IT? YT guilt and you rammed it home. Whites bad…blacks ‘victims’. Of course the black children didn’t want to take it so seriously because maybe they DON’T want TO BE victims! HELLO? Give kids credit where it’s due. You just divided your class into race by using a political cartoon that has no place in a classroom unless you teach politics. Don’t you see how WRONG that is?

“Sorry for the long winded response but I do you brought it up so don’t blame me.”

Don’t be sorry at ALL. Please! It’s healthy to debate and even argue a bit over issues that some people are afraid to touch because we have to be all “PC”. That’s politics! -Having a dialogue about this subject between ADULTS is not a bad thing. If I come off sand-papery it’s because I’m fed up with some of the Leftist mentality.

246. LynnS,

Exactly! Especially this part, “Often lately, I’ve been thinking that being liberal makes some people actually more rigid, unforgiving, and intolerant.”
