    It's quite stunning to me that some would attempt to explain away racists comparing african americans to apes by making references to biological genetics. Anyone having a modicum of familiarity with the past history of race relations knows full well the canard about african americans supposedly bearing a closer resemblane to apes compared to white europeans. So please don't try to push the trash about how we're all genetically similar to chimps, especially in light of what the original point of this thread was all about.

    There was a point to this thread?

    All I see is one man taking the opportunity to blame a whole party for one mans comments. I haven't yet heard you mention the grand wizard himself Senator Byrd or Murtha yet and mention how this makes the whole DMC racist.
    Try and be consistent please.

    I have lots of photographic evidence to prove my point but do think I should send it as it might drive some less discriminating readers over the edge.Best regards Gary

    Well, I guess that just about wraps-up this thread. You've been a great audience. Really. And remember, I'll be here through the end of the month so stop back anytime...

    no responses at all for the legitimate questions? What about the racist comments from liberal politicians?
