Greymule,
Garth is far from being an activist for the PC movement.
His points are well taken, IF you would have an open mind.
The point being made is that "barndoors" cannot be closed. To remember the past and learn from it is imporant, to try to take us back there, counter productive.
We are no longer a nation of 150 million, primarily white humans. As our population has increased so has the need to meld those cultures together.
Your argument has holes. The lack of citations is funny because you select "specific" one time examples and attempt to make them "the way it is."
Pish-Posh (correct reference for my geographic area).
If we use your system of arguing then we could then say, "Hmmm, in Wyoming a gay man was murdered by being beaten to death: therefore, all people in Wyoming are anit-gay." Same logic as your "one time examples".
None of us doubt the examples you gave (I remember the American Flag example -- again ONE COMPANY making a poor decision)but they are too personal (I had a friend that this happened to is not acceptable evidence in ANY arguement)or just one time judgements.
I strongly agree that you have ever right to have what ever feelings you have about anything. I also support your right to openly discuss them in any forum.
I also strongly suggest that you have a logical and documented appeal if you want anyone to fall into your camp.
I will always fight for your right for an opinion even if I feel you are wrong.
