Why are the mods letting that get through? Do they not scan the advise? It is 100% uncalled for. I'm a bit offended....and I'm WHITE! I hate that word with a passion. I guess it's easy to be so racist when no one knows who you are. Pure ignorance!!!

Im upset over it also. Its one thing to disagree, but to be flat out racist is absurd

ohhh no i didnt read the confessions because i was scared lol but holy cow more than one person was using that word?

I haven't been on the confessional yet. From this thread I'm not sure I really want to.

Isn't there a "flag as inappropriate" or something for comments? Or are we talking a confession used it? Either way NUHUH! but there's a built-in protection for comments and I'd be really upset if the mod let a confession using it through.

Can someone post the link to this confession. Guess I missed it.

Not so much the N issue, but this comment REALLY bothered me

Wow! If you can't support your own country, the country your spouse/bf/gf/sister/brother/aunt/uncle/etc. fights for, just because someone who you don't support gets elected, then by all means LEAVE!

Military members and their families deserve better pay and benefits, he said, and although money might be hard to find for a generous increase, he supports increasing basic pay to keep up with inflation and private-sector salaries, and he believes housing allowances need to be increased so young service members and their families can afford adequate places to live.

He also wants to spend more to improve veterans’ health care and reduce the wait for a disability claim to be processed.

“I don’t know a higher priority than making sure that the men and women who are putting themselves in harm’s way, day in and day out, are getting decent pay and decent benefits — so that when they return home as veterans, they don’t have to wait six months to get benefits that they’ve earned, that they’re not winding up homeless on the streets, that they’re being screened for post-traumatic stress disorder, that if a spouse is widowed, the benefits are sufficiently generous,” he said. “These are just basic requirements of a grateful nation.”

Obama said he did not want to be more specific because he did not want to make promises he might not be able to keep. “I think we can do a much better job than we’re doing right now,” he said. But, he added, “I want to be honest: We are going to be in a tight budget situation. We’re not going to be able to do everything all at once.”

He also wants an end to stop-loss orders that extend active duty beyond separation or retirement dates, and he wants a deployment schedule that provides more stability and time at home for families.

One way to relieve this stress is to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps. Obama’s plans for a 65,000-person increase in the Army and a 27,000-person increase in the Marine Corps match plans already underway. He said he is not sure about personnel levels for the Navy and Air Force, but “I don’t anticipate a reduction” for those two services.

HOLY SHIT! I have no love for Obama but I'm willing to give him a chance. I can't say I have high expectations for him but I would NEVER support the asking for an assassination of a President - elect, sitting or prior. That's just insane! Killing the man would server no purpose other than to tear the US apart, besides it sounds like chickenshit to want to kill someone for their politics. That's just fucked.

Some butt asked for an assassin the last election against Bush to support Kerry. That shit didn't fly then and it ain't gonna fly now. Just, wow. This kind of person worries me. Seriously, mentally worries me.

Yeah...my pick didn't win....I'm still going to hope things get better. Negativity never gets you anywhere good.

I'm not saying I'm going to love him tomorrow, or even 4 years from now or 40 when the dust settles some. However he is my elected President, my husband's Commander In Chief and that office alone deserves respect. I have serious misgivings about him, but the people have spoken and I don't believe in that bull crap "not my President" line. I might not like him, but that doesn't mean he isn't my President - I'm an American, he was elected fair and square and that's all there is to it. I may struggle (hell, I assume I will) to give him a fair chance but if the roles were reversed would I want a fair chance? Then how can I refuse to give to someone else what I would want for myself?

I honestly lost my breath for a second when I read the comment that suggested assasinating Obama. Who says that? I flagged it as inappropriate, but its still there. To be honest, I hope Joe Biden is well-prepared, because there are already racist assholes threatening to assasinate Obama. I wouldn't be surprised if there are attempts on his life because some people can't move past skin color, and others don't like his politics.

I wouldn't lump disliking his politics in with his skin color. I dislike him for his politics, not his color - last I checked they ain't making skin tone crayons so until we're all in that there box (and I'm not bright white) the color argument is dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb DUMB!! I don't doubt some voted against him for it, but it's still a DUMB reason to do so imo.

As for his politics, disliking them doesn't equate to assassination. I'm terrified some buttmunch in the south is gonna make us all look bad by attempting (god I hope not but my hope isn't boundless) to kill him.
