Dear Tuffy Luv,

My boyfriend is a racist. Not the kind that’s making racist remarks all the time, but he says things that I think are racist and then he says they’re just a joke. But it makes me really uncomfortable because it makes me feel like I’m a racist too because I’m not stopping him.

Should I keep dating my boyfriend? We’ve been together for a year and otherwise I really love him. He’s a really good guy, but when he says things like that I don’t know what to do.

Carrie

Dear Carrie,

Well, you didn’t give any examples, so it’s hard to say. But here’s what Tuffy thinks:

I know it’s painful, but you gotta sit your guy down and tell him how you feel. Say, “Tommy (can I call your boyfriend Tommy?), Tommy, I don’t like the things you’re saying about [whatever group he's racist in the general direction of]. Where is this coming from?” Read More »

Bigotry is Alive and Well at Palin/McCain Rally

October 13, 2008 - 5:30 pm By CC Staff

After watching this video, we will try not hold McCain accountable for his superbly ignorant supporters, but it gets harder every day.

Apparently, bigotry knows no bounds when it comes to bad humor; some dude decided to bring a stuffed monkey with a Obama headband -- “Little Hussain” --  to a Palin/McCain rally.  He's just as happy as could be to introduce the world to his disgusting piece of propaganda, and belts out a laugh that sorta reminds me of the devil.

Maybe I'm confused, I thought it was 2008, not 1968.  This guy is an old adult, he should be setting a example, for Christ’s sake! Instead he's spreading pure hatred with a smile (and then awkwardly taking the toy apart like the coward he surely is).

Simply stupid.
