It's a fringe group of people, who happen to be Conservative.. big deal.. they could be Liberals, Socialist or Communists.. they are just dumb asses..
I would not label them as far as political ideology, but I will say they are intolerant racists, who think everyone should fit into this white anglo-saxon "Leave-it-to-Beaver 50's era" image of what America should be..
I think one of the reasons why America is so great it because the Latin influence and the contributions of peoples from all races and cultures.. oh and one Jew, who has made the USA the most powerful nation on the planet and secured our Freedoms for Generations to come.. Albert Einstein.
Now that's funny.
What's next, Coke doing a commercial using all ancestors of the USA's original inhabitants? That'd be cool, IMO. Yankeeland didn't invent truth, liberty, and the pursuit of justice. The concepts have been around for a very, very long time.
I can just picture all your feathers standing on end.
Oh you have no idea... the rage that this commercial caused!
Really allot to do about nothing... it's sad that some people just have to express their ignorance in a public forum and suddenly it's news.
Yawn..
Reminds me of a joke I heard...
God so tired of all the racism on Earth, figured he would bring it to an end..
He pondered a bit on how to do this, then came up with the idea of making every GREEN..
Next day on earth...
"O.K., line up, all the light green stand over there, and dark green stand over there..."
It will never end.
Let us deal with a few things here first no the Greeks are not predominantly white they
are Olive Skinned people. Macedonians are lighter colored. Most equate Greeks with
Alexander the Great with the Greeks when in fact he wasn't he was Macedonian
As for America it is becoming a multicultural society and has been since WWII/ Coke
is merely reflecting on what is happening. I think the old singing of America the Beautiful
and the grapes of wrath thing is about over for many. Canada went through a lot of the
culture shock the USA is now on the brink of.
The Christian thing in this conversation comes more from perception rather than reality.
See the Christian Moral Majority movement that dominated the GOP has shaded the
respectful wing of the Conservative main stream. Ah the conservative Republicans that
Christian bunch that wants to dictate the Christian agenda for all. That is the perception
true or other wise. To get control of government the Republican Party saddled up to ride
with the Born Again agenda and the Tea Party folks. Now they have to Albatrosses around
their necks.
There is a large group of people who want to keep the old traditions only in a new world
and that is the past reminiscing and conflicting with reality. See all those other cultures now
vote and speak a different or many different languages and believe different religious thoughts
and many of them are not white either. The scary thing for some is they are not white either.
but hey its America they'll get over it.
Coca Cola is on the cutting edge instead of hiding or being afraid or taking to the streets, those
in the Boardroom decided they could gain more market share by selling more soda to them.
Isn't that the American way?

People experiencing the death of their culture, and its replacement by other cultures shouldn't be expected to welcome the end of their world.
Platonic and Neo-Platonic philosophers didn't welcome the end of the Academy of Athens by zealous Christians. It symbolized the end of their world.

It symbolizes a lessening of one demographic's influence, and an increase of another's, not the end of their worlds. That's what makes entitled outrage so intriguing. It's perfectly understandable, but it's also often disproportionate to the actual 'threat' they seem to perceive.
I do not hate Manning. I hate Brady. I realize my response may have been interpreted incorrectly. I also do not believe this loss to a simply fantastic defense diminishes his legacy at all. He has been the best QB in the league bar none for the last decade.
No way! Brady is much better.
I don't HATE Manning... I just wanted to see him lose.
Now I'm going to get a Big Gulp Pepsi to quench my RAGE!
Go Pats!
The statement of people who experience the death of their culture should not
be expected to be happy about it is true. The Natives in North America know
alll about that.
The fact is America had a slogan give us your huddled masses and they came
now the folks are not happy. The old America is all but a memory. And yes the
Conservatives painted themselves into a corner singing purple mountains majesty
and so on. The new folks have their own culture and brand of politics. The new
vision they bring is a lot more left.
Its like the old cars with fins and twenty feet long, now its the mid size car and
fewer flash symbols. Functional liberal and accommodating, sorry I couldn't resist
that

I don't even get what people are referring to when they talk about 'the old America'.
