   What is illegal about racist entertainment? And like pornography, what   
   is the definition of racist? The Supreme Court said Pornography was NOT   
   definable but they would know it when they see it.  ;)   
      
   It seems like there is no definition for racist, it is what ever the   
   person hearing says it is.   
      
   And how would you ever know that Blacks were thought of by Democrat   
   Confederates as less than a person if we nixed all the language that   
   suggests it,  and how do you know that the author wasn't doing it on   
   purpose to point out the lack of humanity in Democrat Confederates?   
      
   To begin with it isn't "real racism" it's fictional racism.   
      
   Is it FICTION that Democrats want to erase or their own real HISTORY.   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   --   
   That's karma   
      
   Banning guns and de-funding police won't lower crime if you follow the   
   Democrats Rhetoric. *And their very own Democrat actions confirm* that   
   even *they believe they're lying* since they're doing the opposite *to*   
   *reduce any crimes "you" might commit against the Government* that they   
   control and apparently they *believe guns and fences and police* *will*   
   *protect* them from your crime and violence. So why won't those same   
   things protect you from crime and violence?
