I can see that foorf fits right into your logosphere!

...good read. Good comments.
Bump for later.
I go to the old "Super Crown" stores (some places known as A&S Bargain Books), where every book is at least 50% off. Their web address is www.asbarbainbooks.com. I get a lot of Thomas Sowell's books there, I got Hannity's first book there (yes, I know, Hannity wrote a book...)
Darn this work sometimes, getting in the way of my FReeping! (/end sarcasm)
I admit I haven't made it through "Knowledge and Decisions" yet ... it's always due back at the library when I've barely begun! I think I'll make a project of finding it at the used book store and completing it!
I am sick and tired of these pusillanimous, sycophants trying to tell me that I am inferior because I am the descendant of slaves. Here is the twist I am also the descendant of whites as well. There is not one native born black American that doesn't have some European in his/her blood. As far as I am concerned I will no longer be call African American because I thank God daily that I don't have to run down my food supply on the Serengeti with a spear.
As a collective black Americans count for a GDP of number 8 in the world, where is that money going to? Certainly not hooked on Phonics or other type education programs. Sean Jean, Hilfiger, Enyce, ECKO and Phat farm are displayed all over the bodies of young blacks. Hip-Hip is anti black full of nihilism and degradation of women, yet the feminist's are quieter than hookers in church about Hip-Hops treatment of women.
Where is the NAACP in regards to the state of black Americans? It's leadership is MIA and to worried about it's dirty laundry getting aired out in front of the white folks. Remember back in the 90's under Ben Chavis the organization almost went under because of sex and financial scandals. But the liberals wouldn't let this happen because of the block of black voters they continue to deliver would fall by the wayside. SO they bailed out the NAACP and they are now and forever will be pimped by the white liberal establishment. Even a commie like WEB Dubois couldn't be happy about that.
Sorry about the rant.
PING
Good rant.....
Probably a combination of both.
What a BEAUTIFUL rant!
very interesting!
You wouldnt get an argument from me. If I had a different life and were much younger, I would want to take an internship at the Hoover, just so I could watch a great mind at work....Am I a groupie or what??
I actually saw him speak once ... sigh ... one of the great experiences of my life, along with seeing Alan Keyes.
He nails it. It's all about words, talk. And so the liberals who rise to the top of the Democratic party are the ones who can talk the slickest, schmooze the best and convince others that every problem can be solved by talking.
I'm in Ireland, so we don't have the same 'black' issues that are prevalent in America.
Nevertheless the first time I heard the term 'acting white' (and in the context that Mr. Sowell suggests), I was absolutely horrified.
Getting an education, speaking proper English, getting a good job, achieving, striving...this is 'acting white'? Idiots who use this 'acting white' dogma against their peers perhaps use it as a means of covering or excusing their own failings and lack of ambition.
With the unfortunate result that many of today's rudderless kids, regardless of cultural background, are being influenced heavily by the "gangsta" and 'hip-hop' rap music industry. More cultural entropy.
Exactly! Condesention and feelings of superiority cannot survive without the undtermenschen. Therefore, they keep them down by the most nefarious means, corrupting the children. Ken Hamblin used to offer a "certificate of freedom from white guilt", because 'white folks were loving blacks to destruction'.
Don't ever apologise for rants like that! Well said!
You want some ideas for a film - try this
