Quote:Well, good for the black panthers. Whether they are to poll or not, I hope they did scare some old white folks off. It'd only be fair. Republicans pollsters use scare tactics and flyers with the wrong date on them, etc in low income districts.

 

How is that attitude in any way, shape, or form productive in this discussion? 

 

There's enough misinformation coming from both sides of the aisle in an attempt to disenfranchise certain voting blocs.  To condone it for one as payback is just idiotic.  Nobody should be disenfranchised if they're eligible and registered to vote. 

 

To say you're okay with the threat of violence against "old white folks" smacks of the same kind of racist, bigoted thinking that you're trying to extract from others. 

 

It's this mindset that perpetuates the problems this society has in general with race. 

 

Quote:  Would you classify for example Buddhism and Hinduism the same way?

I would not classify any religious entity as a race.  There are Jews of many races including Arab Jews.  There are Hindus and Buddhists who are also of races other than Indian or Asian descent. 

 

Jews in Israel and elsewhere are not under constant assault because of their race.
