i don't care if you're black, white, purple

this thread is now the #1 hit for the OP

West will be one of two black Republicans in the House. The other is Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Asked if he felt a sense of pride when Obama, the nation's first black president, was elected in 2008, West didn't mince words. It's not about skin color, he said, it's about leadership.

"I don't look to a man to get pride in myself," West said, before continuing: "...This country needs a good leader, and I don't care if he's purple or green but yes, there are some people that saw in (Obama) a sense of pride."

"I don't care if you're white, white, caucasian, fair-skinned, cracker, honky, tan, white..."

i care if youre purple or green, in that i am concerned for yr health

I don't care about your health as long as you have a color.

who is purple anyway? is choking to death a race now?

if it is you're winning

no idea what that actually means but it sounded like a good zing for a second

I heard you rooted for the REDSKINS...standing around in your DANSKINS!

From my own local news, just today!

Both Coakley, 61, and Roller, 56, said they supported the new curfew. "It's severe," said Roller, "But it's needed at this time to make a statement that this type of activity is not going to be tolerated. Perhaps after the summer, we can take a look at it and revise it to be more lenient."

Both women, who are white, said the crackdown had nothing to do with race. "I don't care if you're black, white or polka dot," said Roller. "We don't want that kind of activity here."

Regardless of technique, the questions White Girl Mob raises about race are touchy, and V-Nasty's liberal use of the n-word will only bring more fire to the debate. "I'm not saying the word n- to offend anybody," she claims. "I use it as a figure of speech, as a person, period. I don't care if they're white, black, purple, or yellow."

A new variant?

Trail Six “is gaining in popularity with people that choose to recreate on the beach clothed,” Haydon said.

The increased threat of enforcement at San Onofre that has prompted some to head just south onto Camp Pendleton has turned the issue into one of trespassing rather than public nudity.

“Clothed or unclothed or wearing purple mittens, they just shouldn’t be there,” said Bob Morton, executive director of the Naturist Action Committee. He said his group has always opposed trespassing, but not everybody listens.

And the rise of a black candidate such as Cain in a party long dominated by white candidates doesn’t faze Viars. “I consider it a benefit,” she said. “I don’t care if you’re black, white or green.”

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has ignited a new football race row after he told a radio station that black players have "just got to get on with it".

........

Whelan added: "You know I think the players who come and complain sometimes, they're a little bit out of order.

"The game is a game, the game is a football game, whether you're white, black, pink, red, it doesn't matter. We're all, we're all equal, and we all play football, and we should get on with it."

"I don't care if you're black, white...", about 6,080,000 results
"I don't care if you're white, black...", about 300,000 results

just fyi

lmao

whether you're white, black, pink, brown or olive...

Actually, I think I kind of do care if you're green or purple; both are probably indicative of some serious health issues.

Come on people! What difference does it make? Black, white, green with pink spots? We are all on this melting pot of a planet together - get a grip and get over this racial thing.

I grew up in Montgomery, too, and I don't care if he's black, white, green or purple. However, I do care that he is a Marxist, Narcissistic liar. You have no right to speak for me, or anyone else here, especially if you're going to lump all Southerners into a fictional group or foaming-at-the-mouth racists. I am 52 years old, and was in elementary school during the first years of integration. My family and my friends were never the racists you imply, and we didn't treat the new students as anything other than new students. How dare you imply that WE vote according to skin color, when the African-American population solidly supported Obama in 2008 based solely on the color of his skin?

haha, How dare you imply that WE are racists, when I am about to say something racist?

wonder what answer you'd get if you asked that lady what marxism is.

we didn't treat the new students as anything other than new students

that'll be why integration went so smoothly

“I think we led the world, and are pretty much alone with those numbers,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said, smiling, when asked if this is a breakthrough among MLB teams in this draft.

At least in the first round, a breakthrough happened. And for the Rangers, it went beyond the first round.

“Look, we don’t care,” added Daniels. “If they can play, we will take them black, white, green, purple, from anywhere, any country.”

I apologise if this has been posted further up the thread (I am really busy and only read halfway down) but it seems apt.

michael flamm, 'law and order: street crime, civil unrest, and the crisis of liberalism in the 1960s', first paragraph:

In June 1968 a white father of five from North Carolina expressed his view
of the state of the nation with these words:

I’m sick of crime everywhere. I’m sick of riots. I’m sick of “poor”
people demonstrations (black, white, red, yellow, purple, green or
any other color!) I’m sick of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling for the
good of a very small part rather than the whole of our society. . . . I’m
sick of the lack of law enforcement. . . . I’m sick of Vietnam. . . . I’m
sick of hippies, LSD, drugs, and all the promotion the news media
give them. . . . But most of all, I’m sick of constantly being kicked
in the teeth for staying home, minding my own business, working
steadily, paying my bills and taxes, raising my children to be decent
citizens, managing my financial affairs so I will not become a ward
of the City, County, or State, and footing the bill for all the minuses
mentioned herein.

Wow! That's o.g.! Food digging.

and that little white father of five grew up to be... Bill Cosby

The Abella report explained some very important concepts. For instance, it defined the difference between equal treatment and equity.

To illustrate, let's say I'm the boss of Doodads Inc. I am very proud of the way I treat everyone the same. I don't care if you're black, white or purple. If you come to do a job at Doodads, that's all I care about.

Actually, upon closer inspection, maybe that's not quite true. I just gave Dolores maternity leave last week to have her baby. And I put in a wheelchair ramp because Carl was having trouble getting into the warehouse. I gave Lucy a break so she could observe her holy day. So maybe I don't treat everyone exactly the same; if I did, people like Dolores wouldn't be working for Doodads; maybe she'd be on welfare.

Equal opportunity does not always mean equal treatment. Sometimes, to achieve equality on the job -- to ensure a level playing field -- you have to treat people differently. That's practising equity. It's a recognition that our life experiences have an important bearing on our ability to work.

Meet the concert organisers, Glazed Cherry Inc. Or at least a few of them.

There's Jay Sellwood, the public face of the outfit. And what a face it is, with all that blond hair and pierced features. But he's not a fierce creature.

He did seize the Cherrystock microphone and rail against the violent fringe -- Unreported quote: "I don't care if you're black white or purple, gangs suck!" -- but such anger is not his natural state. Enthusiasm is more his mode.

Police race bias has been documented, reader charges

BYLINE: Mrs. J. Carswell; GAM

DATELINE: Toronto ON

David Jacobs of the International Committee Against Racism is quoted as
saying: If you're black and you're stopped for a traffic offence, you're
likely to get a much stiffer fine than a white person. (Minorities Attack
Policeman's Claims of Inverse Racism - Aug. 3l.

This is utter garbage. Each and every fine is a stated amount for each
offence whether you are black, white, or purple.

The best solution would be for a real opera company to plan proper, staged productions of both these Stein-Thomson scores and to cast them with the most musicially refined, theatrically alert, personable singers it can find -black, white or purple. It didn't happen for Mr. Thomson's 85th birthday year, but perhaps we may still have hopes for his 90th.

Dade County has agreed to supply recreation equipment for an after-school program at the Haitian-American Voter Education (HAVE) Center, 7545 Biscayne Blvd.

The program, planned to include soccer and volleyball teams and a dance troupe, was created for 6- to 16-year-olds by Jacques Despinosse, HAVE Center director.

"We want this to be a reality, but we don't want it to be just for Haitian kids," Despinosse said. "Kids are kids, black, white or purple."

The people I spoke with - the lawyers for both sides and a woman at the day-care center - had not even mentioned that the plumber was black. So, when I wrote the column, I was in a liberal mode. I was supporting the poor, who in this instance happened to be black, against the prosperous supply company, which is owned by a white family. ''I live with racism five days a week,'' continued Gooden, ''and thanks to you, I had to live with it again on Sunday.'' To me, this was absolute nonsense. It had not mattered to me whether the plumber was black, white or green.

I gave Lucy a break so she could observe her holy day.

The brewing mutiny ended when Dodgers management took a stand for Robinson. Manager Leo Durocher informed the team, "I do not care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a fuckin' zebra. I'm the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What's more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded."
