Richard Hart: "Referring to a nationality or race by skin color has been used as a derogatory comment, in my experience, predominately by white Christian males. For some reason, white Christian males seem to have an obsessive-compulsive disorder or mental defect that compels them to classify all other races or nationalities by some term that we all know implies, by the mere use of that characterization, that a skin color other than white indicates the quality of the human being is inferior.

Ron Owmbry: "Perhaps the demonstrators could direct that energy toward helping clean up an Indian reservation? Naw - that won't happen because it would be productive and meaningful."

David Scott: "If Denver has two right-wing newspapers, I will drop your paper and read the more balanced USA Today."
