That said, unfortunately that is not the case in this instance. See video for yourself:

I mean I still vote and try to stay informed on some level, but unfortunately my panic/anxiety disorder makes it very difficult for me to “handle” certain things. It's more like I have to control the way the information gets to me. The news can be so sensationalist that I can't watch it.

How can anyone think that it's ok for some I just won't be part of it? Insert head in oven now.

By that I mean, they have the right to hate if they so choose. We don't need thought police. (I'm not saying it's okay to hate.) But they do not and should not have the right to discriminate according to race, religion or gender.

It's not letting me sign in for some reason. Maybe Stossel got to them and they know that five of my kids are black?

This reminded me of when I was a little girl and would go to Neiman Marcus with my grandmother every Saturday. I went to drink out of the fountain one day and she told me of the signs that had been over those very fountains just a few years before: “White” and “Colored”

We've come such a long way, but obviously have a long way to go. That quote doesn't make me think of the everyday Americans I know. It reminds me of the devisive hatred from the KKK and Black Panthers.

Even George Will on This Week said that the 1964 law was a proper balance of rights and that the discussion of repealing it is ridiculous.

Bit of a bozo really.

You “stick your head in the sand and ignore politics and current events” ? You don't really mean that do you? It's depressing at times, I know, but to shy away from current affairs allows all sorts of things to happen under our very noses, changing the world that our children will inherit from us.

It's not the color of the skin what makes people good or bad – it's their action.
Recession makes rich nervous to lose what they've got and poor more poor.
Why Oprah would be any different from other black people if it was a question about skin color?
(I'm sorry if I mix things because I don't know Stossel.)

This man must be a middle-aged white guy?

I hadn't heard this one, but fortunately it doesn't have a snowball's chance at passing. Can you IMAGINE all the discrimination that would come up? Yikes!
