[quote BigGuynRusty][quote lafinfil]As he was pointing out, we (the USA) had in the past treated many of it's lesser poorly. "Lesser"??
Racist statement.
As you can see, most folks don't realize when they are making racist/hatred statements.

Geezo - I take a few days off and all hell breaks loose and I'm a "racist"

Thanks to $tevie for pulling out the original quote. I obviously was not quoting verbatim.
Also thanks to guitarist for pointing out the obvious usage of a variation of the word least.

Perhaps "lesser" was an incorrect tense on the word "less" - to be Biblically more accurate
I should have used the word "least" although some versiona of the Bible uses "lesser"

"And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me
receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
-Luke 9:48 (King James translation - the version I grew up with)

There are also more "modern" translations of this verse that use "lesser"

And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me;
and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.
-Douay-Rheims Bible (an English/Catholic Bible)


Oh and this one uses " lowliest" - how scandalous is that !

"and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me,
receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
-Weymouth New Testament (modern speech Bible)

To paraphrase BGnR - As you can see, most folks don't realize when they are making stupid statements
They are the same type of people that are unable to acknowledge that they themselves are wrong
in falsely calling someone a racist.
