Lol, some of you guys are a trip. I bet if you go to the Steve McNair forums there will be someone saying Obama had something to do with it. This news article has nothign to do with Obama and you have this clown instantly saying something so dumb like "Obama? Oh wait he only claims one race, I forgot."

Well, inbreeding southerners do multiply like bunnies, so maybe the GOP isn't in so much trouble after all. Of course, after a couple of generations of inbreeding they'll be so retarded that they won't even know what GOP stands for, much less that they can vote for it.

You mean they understand it now?

- A strong national government, capable of holding its own in a world at war. Protecting the United States from alien citizens of enemy powers and to stop seditious attacks from weakening the government.

Oh wait, that's the Federalist Party... I have trouble telling them apart sometimes.

I think only in isolated pockets in native lands will you find people who are racially pure.

What I would like to see is all the top racial supremacists of the various races have DNA show down like monsters trucks or smack down wrestling.

Someone can host a website where all the supremacist leaders can submit legal and authenticated DNA results so the world can see just how qualified or unqualified they are to be racial supremacist leaders.

Whoever hosts the website should dig in for the long haul to pay the web bill because I'm sure it will be a mass no show.

Instead of "multi-racial" the category should read "racially inferior"

More than one race? I thought we all belong to the human race? Show me a someone from Mars, or has gills, or wings and it might be interesting. Other than that, you are not different or special, just human. If you think you are, get over yourself.

You might consider checking 'other'. On many forms nowadays there is an other race category. I check that one because the stereotypical white, black, asian, hispanic does not define me. In fact geneticists today recognize that the old classifications of race by white, black, asian, hispanic is like saying the earth is flat. No real geneticists recognizes these classifications anymore. These classifications do not represent the true makeup of humankind even remotely. And skin color is a poor indicator of genetic makeup. Look at say the Rock "Dwayne Johnson". Dwayne unless you knew his race might pass for Italian, Arabic, Spanish...Remember Dinah Shore. You could not even tell she had black ancestry. How about Rae Dawn Chong??? And I love too look up actors in the IMDB. I am noticing that many stars that play African in movies nowadays have Hispanic, Asian, White, Native American...blood. So why don't they play Hispanic, Asian, White, Native American? Could it be because of the prejudice of Hollywood??? But Hollywood loves to preach about how inclusive they are. They have a word for that: HYPOCRITES.
