A great piece of Video...Espn's Steven A. Smith blasts the NFL players who said they wouldn't play for Rush Limbaugh as "Liars and Hypocrites"... he's exactly right (Video from CNN show)

That wasn’t what I was responding to. Integration of the NFL is what I was responding to. Dungee broke it open for black coaches to become head coaches. The rest of the NFL is over 65% black. Tony Dungee is a fanatastic human being. Bless him and all his endeavors
BUMP!
money talks and the union will walk
If the same principles applied to football as the rest of the workplace, white folks would have an EO complaint as football teams are not racially balanced. Geraldine Ferraro made a comment in the same vein about Obama that Rush made about McNabb and look how the lefties savaged her. McNabb is a good quarterback and if he was white, he would be just another good quarterback. Blacks should be very tired of the world going gaga just because they are black— fruits of affirmative action. Blacks make up 14 percent of the population and are over-represented on the football field. Were the vast majority of players white, the lefties would be going nuts complaining of discrimination. Fair is fair and talent is talent. MLK must be howling in his grave at the sad state of affairs in the black community today. How is that for integration?

I heard that interview live, while on vacation, and I almost fell off my son’s couch. Mr. Smith is almost fully converted into a conservative.
But are you not playing the race card as well as Rush and Ferraro? I see this hypocrisy quite often nowadays. It's somehow legitimate for whites to claim, without concrete evidence, that a certain black person achieved a certain level of recognition because of their race, yet if a black person makes a similar claim about a white person, folks cry RACE CARD at the top of their lungs.
It’s not the race card when it’s the truth. What is false about about what Geraldine or Rush said? If everything about Obama was the same except he was white, there’s no way in hell he would’ve been elected President. As for McNabb, if he was white, he’s essentially be Matt Hasselbeck.
Uhm, your “truth” is no more truth that Jimmy Carter’s “truth”. What it really is is your opinion, speculation, perception, etc. None of these equate to “truth”.
What is the truth is that there is an enormous amount of hypocrisy among Freepers and Freepers throw around the race card as much as Sharpton and Jackson. But somehow, it is valid when done by whites toward blacks and minorities. Why is that?
McNabb’s popularity has much to do with his personality. He’s goofy and likeable along with being good. There have been multiple black quarterbacks that were at least as good as him and even better. So why the alleged desire for him to be a top black quarterback when we actually have had some? Warren Moon, Doug Williams, Steve McNair, Michael Vick, etc. So why would McNabb be the viewed as some sort of “black hope”? It makes no sense.

I’m not exactly sure why they picked him out, but they did. Maybe it’s because he’s in Philly and some of those others were in smaller markets. I have to admit, I heard Rush’s comment live and absoultely agreed with it and didn’t understand the firestorm.
My statement about McNabb was opinion. What Ferraro said about Obama might not be a hard fact, but it’s pretty darn close. In the South Carolina primary, Obama beat Hillary among black voters 78-19 and other states had similar results. You could argue that Obama’s rhetoric won them over, and there’s certainly a lot of truth to that, but John Edwards, under the guidance of David Axelrod, used almost identical rhetoric four years earlier and finished a distant second in the primaries. There was also a tremendous amount of white guilt.
I’ve read some of your posts and you seem to have an agenda and it doesn’t appear to be conservative. Virtually all of your posts relate to race. Your parsing of Jimmy Carter’s words was disgusting. The man is a sanctimonious fraud who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the ass. Do you really think that Rush Limbaugh is a racist? I don’t think a racist would a black man as his call screener and friend, nor would he have black man to guest host for him several times a year for probably fifteen years now.
don’t follow nascar or irl or indy car. F1 only...dating back to Fangio, 5 time World Grand Prix Champion, (with 4 or 5 different teams..don’t remember just how many for sure.), then came clark, stewart and lauda. jpm couldn’t come close to even holding those men’s gloves. michael can not be judged against those men imho. he is/was/still my favorite driver but the saftey issues regarding the regs/rules/cars etc. back then was horrible! how many of the ‘76 on drivers could face what the men prior to that did? maybe they could, subjective I know. it just pisses me off when those old timers with balls the size of basketballs are given the short shift. no offense meant to your post....I just went off on an F1 rant!!!
I never understood how black bashing is conservative? I am anti-abortion, anti-taxes, anti-gay marriage, anti-affirmative action, etc. etc. So showing the ridiculousness of the widespread black bashing on this site makes me non-conservative? Have you read posts by Mac from Cleveland? Guy views the movie “Birth of a Nation” as and accurate portrayal of black people.
Rush Limbaugh is friends with Charles Murray who writes about his view that me and my children are innately intellectually inferior. How is his friendship with Murray any worse than Obama’s relationship with Wright? If you really look closely and look at things from the point of view of black Americans, it should be easy to understand why most don’t want to be Republican even if they are conservative. Why join a group that openly shows disdain for you? Why join a party that seems to be the party that overt white racists are most inclined to join?
What type of black people are liked here? Pastor James David Manning. You have Freepers cheering him as he expresses the desire for whites to go to black communities and riot. Freepers like the idea of my house being burned down and my family placed in mortal danger? I think that their support of him is disgusting.
Obama threw his white relatives under the bus. Also, look at things from the point of view of a white, conservative Republican. We see a race that overwhelmingly supports people that I view as my enemy. I find blacks strong support of Democrats who have enacted policies that have hurt them disgusting. When people think I’m racist for being anti-Obama, I just ask them if they voted for Ken Blackwell, because I was a strong supporter of his. As for Murray, he never said that blacks have a lower IQ. Murray specifically stated that it remains unsolved. Even if he did say it, you can’t blame someone for at least thinking for a split second that they have lower IQs when they continuously vote for candidates who are no good for them or any other decent Americans.
good post conservativebuckeye but you are not gonna get far with these young’n TCBE ‘If you voted for anyone other than hussein the muslim BOY you are a racist’ crowd. freakin’ MKS.
