The Masters Round 5
Emails are going out tonight, so check your inboxes in the morning. Let's have this round start in a timely manner :)

Also, those who volunteered to sub, just touch base with me. I have enough for this round, but I have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting someone...

Why R U Yanks so hung up on race?
Race seems to come into everything you do.Evidence: the Zimmerman threads here. Why is the colour of a man's skin seem to be the most important to you all, rather than his character?

Democrats Hate Women?
There are a couple prominent Democrats in the news recently doing foul things towards women...and have been prominent Democrats in the past (4 examples to follow). The party line response? SILENCE. Funny, the White House openly speaks about all sorts of race issues...but on Sexual abuse by Democrats...silence. Do DEMOCRATS HATE WOMEN?

Manslaughter
I didn't follow the Martin/Zimmerman case too closely (mostly because the media turned it into a politically-charged circus, as they do most everything they latch onto), and while the stand-your-ground law is plain stupid, he was not guilty of murder under the law. However, I don't understand why he wasn't guilty of manslaughter.

I was at an amusement park where people were cutting in line. REAL obvious, but the worker didn't seem to care. There was a posted rule against cutting in line AND against sitting on the railing. The worker never said anything about the cutting, but always yelled at those sitting on the rail. After about 10 minutes I stood on the rail and refused to get down until the worker stopped the ride (bumper cars) and came over to address me. When I questioned as to how she could see me on the rail, but not the 10 people who just jumped over the rail in front of me and cut in line, she said she didn't see it. When I accused those in front of jumping the line they fessed up and had to go to the end of the line.

Just ranting or am I?

For real life, that is perfect. And here it would be fine if you could state beyond a shadow of a doubt that the people were guilty, but what if those line cutters denied it and there was no evidence of it? All you would have done is get yourself kicked form the ride, possibly from the park. the same thing happens here. Or what if you had been mistaken and what looked like line jumping was in fact something else?

I can't believe they all fessed up and didn't just punch you in the face, force you to the ground and start smashing your head, I'm just guessing here that none of them were black, am I right?

Now, for the people who care about racism in America.
The Park was 6 Flags in Atlanta, GA
The worker was black, not African America since I do not know where she was born.
The line jumpers were also black.
I am not black.
Did it make a difference as to which rule the worker was going to enforce? The people who jumped the line in front of me had done it before as they had already ridden the ride twice while I was in the queue waiting my turn.

Just sayin' not judgin'.

@NigeeBaby they were and they didn't have nice words for me. My daughter who was waiting in line with me was 8 at the time. I did look over my shoulder the rest of the day while we were at the park.

We need more to determine why you, the "cracker asshole", didn't get his ass beat... Were the other white people around, maybe a couple big guys who would have backed you up? Do you look particularly dangerous per chance?

@NigeeBaby I was in GA, not my home state of FL. GA doesn't have a SYG law. Now had I been in TX at that 6 Flags, well...

@Draug No, I'm not intimidating and I am the whitest cracker you will ever meet. Maybe the fact that we were in a public place and I had an 8 y.o. with me might have had something to do with it.

BTW, before I stood on the rail I had tried to get the workers attention. She just didn't seem to care about anything EXCEPT people sitting on the rails in the queue. Since that was what she cared about that's what I did.
Draugnar (0 DX)

But what about the people around you. Anyone backing up your words when you made your point? I bet the line jumpers were friends of the ride operator which is why their actions were overlooked until you made an issue of it and they agreed to let it go cause they didn't want their friend losing her job.

@nigee, for some reason I always took you for working-class. You have an au pair?

Course maybe in socialist Europe the state provides them as a "necessity"

Or you're taking your campaign more seriously than draug did ...
