But the argument I get from people here is: it's not racism, it's self preservation.<BR/>Which is the weakest argument I've ever heard...<BR/><BR/>All that to say if more people listened to Peter's they might understand how dumb they sound when they spout racist comments.Muchacho Enfermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199529242989469992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-36150671680621357682009-01-21T16:37:00.000-07:002009-01-21T16:37:00.000-07:00I think a big part of that will be reminding peopl...I think a big part of that will be reminding people that a political party that is based on a racial ideology isn't legitimately progressive.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-66729932123744187992009-01-21T15:57:00.000-07:002009-01-21T15:57:00.000-07:00I paid 50$ to see Peters a few years back.

Best money I ever spent on a stand up comic.<BR/><BR/>Peters does what he does so well that you don't even feel guilty for laughing at his racial humor. In fact I think that you hit the nail on the head when you said that race will one day be seen as something completely ridiculous.<BR/>I keep my fingers crossed that one day it will.<BR/><BR/>Now if I could just stop my own politicians here in Quebec from being outright racist we'd be much better off (in my neck of woods anyways)Muchacho Enfermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199529242989469992noreply@blogger.com
