Okay, we have some ignorant people in the thread so let's get a few things straight. First off, as I alluded to, ignorance is no excuse. No one can walk around in a Nazi uniform and be excused. No one can use racial slurs and be excused, simply claiming that it's some sort of protest against political correctness. If you act like a bigot, as far as I'm concerned, you're a bigot.

As far as George Washington chopping down a cherry tree being the same the same as the Rosa Parks reference....uh, what? Did Washington chop down the tree because he was white? Did race ever play a part in that, come one, even in the slightest? Now if Rosa Parks stole your seat, then you would have been white, and thus entitled to the seat since Rosa Parks was black, and thus undeserving. Anyone see the racism here? If you don't, well...you're ignorant or a racist, it's not my job to figure out which.
