Still if the voice was good enough to win, it shouldn't have mattered the skin colour. One of the other judges picked a black woman who wants to sing country, he was excited to try and get some diversity into county music so that is a little bit similar; however he didn't know what she looked like before he picked her so his thinking is not tainted.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-53714844788431278222018-03-08T13:41:58.075-05:002018-03-08T13:41:58.075-05:00You presented the post fine; it's just that on...You presented the post fine; it's just that one of your commenters derailed the discussion. Maybe it is time to be more discerning when hiring your commenters. <br /><br />See also: Warnock's dilemma. <br /><br />I agree with your point that it is kind of upsetting to pick a white person who sounds black over a black person who sounds black. It would be worth asking whether Clarkson would have picked a black person who sounds white in the same way. That would distinguish novelty from race bias.

Lol, you are always qualified to speak on this blog. I am a little confused, I was shocked that a person basically said on tv that they didn't pick someone because they were black; however people got hung up on my example instead, I must have presented the post wrong.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-73659138671147006372018-03-08T08:09:47.010-05:002018-03-08T08:09:47.010-05:00No, not second-rate, Anglicans are Catholic Lite. ...No, not second-rate, Anglicans are Catholic Lite. Lite only because they don't have their own Post Office. It's all in the branding!<br /><br />I feel qualified to speak. Mother was Catholic, father raised by Christian Scientists. I was confirmed Presbyterian (now former Presbyterian) because they had the best youth group in walking distance from home. I have four sisters. Two Catholic and one Episcopalian, which is Anglican Lite, one undefined Protestant. It's no wonder I'm so confused.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684866399108890647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-41441289982991018332018-03-08T00:17:42.576-05:002018-03-08T00:17:42.576-05:00Rjjs, in elementary school one of the older teache...Rjjs, in elementary school one of the older teachers hinted at that but it wasn't really pushed as a belief on us.

This one girl who was always trouble said she wanted to become a prostitute! Well poor Mother Superior passed out on the spot. After we put cold cloths on her face she came to. She asked the same girl over again just to make sure what she had heard. Well again the girl said she wanted to be a prostitute but this time Mother Superior just laughed and apologized, she said to the girl, "oh sorry for all the fuss I caused but I thought you said you wanted to be protestant".Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-23604460699204764632018-03-07T21:10:23.070-05:002018-03-07T21:10:23.070-05:00Growing up, I was taught in Catholic school that a...Growing up, I was taught in Catholic school that all the other religions were bad and their followers were going to hell.
