In 1976, 30 of my 31 police officers confessed to on-the-job use of the most vile, invective, racist language you can imagine. How do we confront the barefaced bigotry we see today?

The hate flu seems to thrive in the southern United States, with pockets found throughout the country, especially in rural areas.

Insurance company execs are thrilled and excited to be sending money out to right wing groups to shout down citizens coming to town hall meetings to discuss health care reforms.

The problem with discussing "issues of race," is that it dummies down the issue of racism to an individual level, when the real problem is at the macro level.

Conservative-liberal American society is sure of itself. It is sure of which cultures are backwards and which personalities need to be modified.

Although the Republicans and "Blue Dog" conservative Democrats claimed they oppose Obama's health care plan because it would increase the nation's debt, the real reason is driven by racism.

We need the past to inform us why we're the way we are. Without that we will never change. And without change our hatreds may eventually destroy us.

Miss California, like many who share her take on the marriage issue, was careful to talk about her "opinion" and "beliefs" and the way she was raised as if this excused her intolerance. Barack Obama talks about tradition and belief as well in defense of his own position.

Mason may be a big shot. But in my eyes, his a puny, unfunny bully. Hearing that he called President Obama such a terrible word doesn't surprise me at all.

Reducing Asian women into a sexual object is not funny, it is not flattering. It is perilous. We can see this when Asian women are subject to race-targeted sexual violence.

Obama's call to service for Martin Luther King, Jr., Day was two weeks ago today. But to my generation, I'm afraid it may as well have been issued by Abe Lincoln. It's already history.

In spite of Obama's election, what America has not given up and seems loathe to give up, regardless how far backward we move socially, morally, and legally, is religion.

Obama's election as president has changed America and can also make it a far better nation, one that truly embraces the ideals that motivated our founding fathers.

Gotta be honest, I expected this way before now. And it's probably a measure of how scared some racists are that America is on the verge of electing its first black president.

Sarah Palin's wardrobe malfunction of sorts wasn't that big of a deal to me. I went out to talk about it for a video rant, and encountered homophobia in the name of a McCain/Palin supporter.

If McCain were smarter, he could have seized the moment when a woman at a rabid right wing rally said, "We can't trust Obama... He's an Arab," and have knocked it out of the park.

The height of hypocrisy is to see the angry left advocate for diversity but to completely become enraged when someone isn't seeing the world the way they do.

According to a rather weepy piece in the Wall Street Journal, Rush is upset that the Obama camp is portraying him as being a bigot. By quoting bigoted statements he's made.

Jackson should immediately apologize to blacks for not only trashing them, but also apologize for his hypocrisy. But that's not all.

The media never looked at the cover as racist on its face, exploiting a stereotype that is only denounced when it is wrapped around a popular presidential candidate and a minority.
