[Youngstownshrimp]

I like how we are outing all the Waco's here, next step is psychological help.

[Why?Town]

I must be.

Would you like to help me understand what purpose the race question serves, not only on the census but any other form (job applications, loans, etc.)

[irishbobcat]

Why? Town......are you really that stupid?

[Why?Town]

So Mr. Spisak supports discrimination.

There is really no other reason for the race question.

[irishbobcat]

News and views......typical conservative response......the government is the boggy-man......

And it's Mr. Spisak to you, young one////////

It's true Spisak. Do Canadians call their blacks African-Canadians? NO. They call them CANADIANS.

We are ALL Americans. Pretty sad that 234 (hopefully my math is right) years after this nation was founded we still can't figure that one out.

Rick, Typical Libertarian " afraid of the government" response.....

when are you going to grow up?

When you get your 2010 Census form, you can take a stand against racial discrimination by checking the "Some other Race" box and writing in "American".  A truly colorblind society cannot be had as long as the government continues to pigeonhole the population.  If you can check African American and Native American as acceptable races, then why cannot I check off American?

The collection of race data has long since outlived its usefulness.  Its time the govt. begin treating ALL citizens equally poorly.
