IMO, "ni---r," is any one of us who "slaves" for a living. Color does not matter. We each, in our own way, try to make life better, for ourselves, and those we care about.
We "WASP" men have been beleaguered over the past generation by equality. Even though we may have treated others around us with respect, that wasn't enough. our souls needed to be crushed for the past wrongs of others. Now, we are bent by laws, which degrade us into treating even those that deserve no respect, into conformity.
By the way, the only "whites" I know of are albinos.
This pretty much says it all. I see this in education. Educators can not discipline a black student and other minority students without the threat of being called racist. This leads to the student being allowed to act in a manner that is socially unacceptable. For these students there is nothing worst than to have teachers give up on them, but that is what is happening.
Nice post King Arthur!
This is the best piece I've ever seen by Jesse Lee.
Colin Powell's parents are Jamaican.
My great great Grandma was black, and she was Irish.
Another great American not afraid to speak up is Terry Anderson who often joins with Peterson.

The SPLC calls them a "smokescreen". Typical of those bigots.
They have joined together often, here are some quotes and also great pictures from a rally in 1998.
"I don't want to have to speak a foreign language -- Spanish -- to work at McDonald's," said Terry Anderson, a black spokesman and a resident of South Central L.A. "Our kids lose half their school day because of instruction in a foreign language."
Another black spokesman, Rev. Jesse Peterson, who said he'd once been taught to hate whites, has now changed his views. "Right now, in South Central L.A. there's warfare between blacks and Hispanics. Blacks are being pushed out by illegals, especially in the Compton area."

If you can, get out of that climate (not the weather). It won't get better. At least, not before it gets worse.
I know...sorry, I just reread it and it sounds like I was putting you down, I wasn't.
Apologies to anyone I may have inadvertently left out of my reference to "African dissent". I assumed that WAY BACK in history, the race originated in what we now refer to as Africa. I do not wish to limit anyone's participation in my comment with reference to "African". If you have lived in America long enough, your family is as mine is, a patchwork quilt of races, Caucasian, Black and Native American. Are we seeing the difficulty with trying to discuss the issue, here, folks? EVERYONE has a bone to pick.
The MSM will be the death of us all.

Love Terry Anderson! He is a great American!!
I know I'm wasting my time, but...
I didn't say that; Michael Bloomberg did. But I agree with him. "Inexplicable" means we don't know why the guy was shot. And it was unacceptable. You think it was acceptable?
I've got no problem with telling a black person that Jesse Jackson is a hypocrite. I don't understand why that should be a problem. They know it, too, don't they?
Michael Richards didn't just call some hecklers the N-word. I think if it was just the N-word, we could all get over it. But he went on to say: "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your a**". -- I'm sure he's "sincerely" sorry for that. You don't think he's a bigot or a moron? Interesting that you're defending him.
And you made my point EXACTLY. We are all AMERICANS, and any hyphenation only serves to divide us, and create its own bigotry.

Please point out Peterson's "over-reaction" in the above article.
Or, are you making the racist claim that Blacks possess perfect clarity on this issue?
So, I think Jesse is bucking up the wrong tree. If blacks would just exercise the rights won for them, they would be fine.
I do think that the media spotlights the most extreme blacks they can find. Al Sharpton might as well be Step'nfetchit. Bush assembled some real leaders, but the media was only mildly curious and then went back to the Panthers.
Bump for later.
What was racial? Who were being hate mongers?
