Geraldine Ferraro : Case in Point

Not even 10 minutes after I just followed up on racism, I checked in on the news for the evening. Shocker... someone else being penalized for a "racist" remark. I just think it is a shame that this is still such a heated topic. I find it now even more, irritating, petty, and non-productive in the grand scheme of life. I know I sound contradictory saying it is ridiculous to be discussed and then accusing racism of being swept under the rug. It seems as if though, it is only swept under the rug when it doesnt fit anyone's agenda. Then when racism will draw the line in the sand between two parties it is always the straw that breaks the camels back. So I am just confused I suppose, if both sides of the issue want so badly for it to be a non-issue then why always use racism in battle? It always stirs up negative attention. Negative attention I suppose is better than no attention at all. Sadly, I guess that is what it all comes down to. Geraldine, you crazy old bat, I'm truly sorry for your plight also.
