And there really was no reason for him to do so in that context.<BR/><BR/>This year, unlike 2004, there are MAJOR differences between the GOP and the Dems, so there is no reason for him to run.

I'm so upset that he is running, that I have vowed not to blog about him. We don't need to pay any attention to him. My wish is that everyone just ignores him. Don't give him any press. No news stories, no blog posts. Ignore him and he will fade away.

I don't recall hearing the expected uproar I would have expected if a presidential candidate used the "N" word. Perhaps I was just busy. <BR/><BR/>At any rate, it does bother me when anyone uses the word. Part of me wishes it didn't have power over me anymore, but the other part can't ever get to the point where I can accept us using it as some sort of twisted term of endearment - that, it will never be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842906968815125638.post-34780223429121185932008-02-26T07:09:00.000-08:002008-02-26T07:09:00.000-08:00Yes.No.Yes.<BR/><BR/>No.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842906968815125638.post-30608463291492036452008-02-26T06:50:00.000-08:002008-02-26T06:50:00.000-08:00I've never taken Ralph Nader seriously, whether he...I've never taken Ralph Nader seriously, whether he uses the N word or not. <BR/><BR/>In fact, it makes my apathy towards him more stringent.The Roving Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172658008196704643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842906968815125638.post-64582164265970589482008-02-26T05:50:00.000-08:002008-02-26T05:50:00.000-08:00not that i am a huge fan of nader, i agree with 's...not that i am a huge fan of nader, i agree with 'some' of his thoughts on certian issues, <BR/>but i see nothing wrong with the way he used the word....black folk use it and other black people pay for their songs and books when they use it...<BR/><BR/>i'm not offended by his use of the word-nor when black people use it--i'm not a nigger...so calling me one would be like calling me a bird or a cat...means nothing to me...<BR/>at this point of my life..offense is not a tool that will harm or hurt me, nor can it be a tool used to TRY to dismantle my Home!<BR/>you can only be offended if you allow yourself to be. same thing with intimidation-can't touch me. <BR/>i would be a wreck if i let every shallow-negative and jealous person speak their words of death unto my life! they can speak it all--but i do not allow it in my spirit!<BR/> not possible!<BR/> i have too many other things that are of importance on my mind then to be offended by a white man-a blue man-a green man-a black man-etc....some fool! <BR/><BR/>what would be the difference if a black person said = "man, those black people made me feel like a cracker when they did that !" ?wisdomteachesmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064324322310160672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842906968815125638.post-16688505220936527132008-02-26T05:18:00.000-08:002008-02-26T05:18:00.000-08:00I didn't know about his use of the N-word.

I am not surprised he used the word nigger, or that he thinks he can equate his situation with that of a Jim Crow era black man. <BR/>Nader, IMO does not really care about this nation and only comes out when the democrats threaten with a decent candidate. So here he comes again. <BR/>If he was so intent on his issues that he must enter the race on the Green Ticket, why doesn't he work hard to enhance that party between elections? He is an opportunist who'll say whatever for attention.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802989264619041023noreply@blogger.com
