Crazy. I've never in my life seen anyone as excited about politics, it was really far out. I've never been to an election party here at home though, but there were several projectors playing various news channels, and people would cheer like crazy every time something good was mentioned about the democrats, which is way more passionate then I would ever expect most people here at home to react.

Then when Obama was elected, the room exploded, people were just going nuts, cheering, waving banners around, etc.

And everything calmed down when he held his speech, and the party started breaking up afterwards.

So yeah, crazy.

Camel Jockey and Sand Nigga are mild. Now being called a "terrorist" is much worse. During the 2006 Lebanon vs Israel conflict, I'd be walking down the street and people would shout out 'LEBANON GOES BANG!!' (I'm Lebanese by the way). All my friend's make small jokes at my background, referencing terrorism and Aladin, all you can really do is laugh along with them because they just don't undertstand how hurtful that is. My cousin and his friend was bashed nearly to death a few week's ago by a local football team because of their ethnicity. My cousin now has a huge scare from his scalp to below his ear and his friend's in rehab because he can't move his leg's properly and has fits (they're 15).

Yup, us Arab's have had it pretty bad over the course of 9 year's...  

Racism + homophobia is ingrained into the minds of conservative/right wing voters aka rednecks. The Republican Party are well known for being racist + homophobic.

I know this will start a shitstorm, but it is ridiculous to argue that there is any kind of consensus on whether that is a form of discrimination or homophobia.  For millions, perhaps billions of people, it's simply a matter of definition and tradition.

A lot of tenuous links are made between gay marriage and racism, and they are mostly irrelevant.

That said, I agree with those saying gay people are discriminated against far more than black people in America, and most countries.  There are for example, substantial impediments to economic and social equality for gay people in most American states, that should be rectified as soon as possible.

Oh really? I bet then that you're the reflection of perfection to judge others like that >_>

The only disease I see here is the apparent lack of human empathy from you. 

Ok... Numonex. I've rewording this post 3 times in my head. As to stop myself from getting banned.

I am a right wing conservative. Find me one post where I have said anything thing bad about black or gay people.

I have over 10,000 posts if we are all as bad as you say then it shouldn't take you too long

hmmm? im sorry, it was a joke.

man its hard to tell jokes over the internet, everybody's to serious 

Pretty much, if you're not White, Male, Christian, Straight, Rich and Physically Fit in the US.. you're most likely going to be discriminated against.

Here's another type of big discrimination in America.

Liberals and Republicans.

Many people in these groups usually assume that those in the other party follow the most extreme beliefs.

E.g., liberals think republicans are racist, homophobic rednecks and republicans think liberals are tree-hugging hippies.

A note to anyone who follows this mentality:

Shut up.

man, i really should have read the first post before voting. >.> There needs to be a neither option.
