Do I feel I owe anyone respect, I owe them the same respect they show me !
The cesspool of human relations.

Nice try Barry-O, but the only reason you started this topic was because of where Ms. Dean is from and not because of what she said..........period !
So just how do you and Tree plan on making up for something that took place before your time, since your so adamant on laying a guilt trip on someone?
I'm sure a Yankee has never used the word, correct?
Where is the thread you started on the Michigan Democrat, who used the same term ?
And no Tree, never had to call my mother a ####, even under my breath and an insult is an insult !

southwind, of course us yankess have ignorant yankees who are racists, and do or say racists things.
BUT,
one hundred and fifty years later, show me where/when people in Vermont, or Rhode Island/Minnesota/Iowa/Maryland etc.etc. are still trying to suppress people from VOTING, or Congressmen...Jumping-up Screaming loudly at the P O T U S...during a state of the Union Address .
My simple point is this.
Southern Racism is ALIVE and WELL, and in ENORMOUS numbers ..MORE, than us yankees up here.
It's in the Southern D N A, and can NEVER be erased !

PS,
The GOP just signed-up...Paula to give the Key Note address at the RNC..in 16' !
I'm first generation US so I know I have nothing to do with the slavery here in the US. I believe there is a difference between guilt and responsibility. While I am not guilty of the crimes comited by my forefathers. I do believe that as an American I am responsible for the actions this nation has taken. I am not arguing that these are excuses but they are issues that need to be dealt with in my opinion though I do not know how.
Don't be silly, everyone knows they just drove over to Slaves-R-Us and bought them at the mall. NEVER confuse a Libtard with facts.Where do you think the slaves came from? The use of slaves in Europe and Africa (among other countries) was common practice well before America was discovered. Your forefathers in Europe perfected the slave trade practice. If you're not guilty of the crimes committed by your forefathers, neither are we.

First off, in one of my previous post I made reference to guilt verses responsibility.
Second I was referring the the US and the fact that I am a US citizen. If we are going on ancestry they we are all (except Native Americans) responsible for our forefathers actions else where in the world.
More to the point. I am a US citizen and I feel that I must accept responsibility (ownership) of the actions taken my this country. I am not guilty (not meant as a pejorative) of the actions but I am a US citizen. I cannot just wash my hands of slavery just because I was born after the abolishment of it and the passing of the Civil Rights Act. It is still part of the US of which I am a citizen.

Maybe I'll go dem and it will feel better....
And become a slave to Big Brother !
