Dixon's awards include four NAACP Image Awards, National Black Theatre Award and the Paul Robeson Pioneer Award from the Black American Cinema Society.

I just don't understand the whole black thing.

They want to be equal, they want to be just regular American citizens "like everyone else", and they want a color-blind society.

So they set up black this and black that, GUARANTEEING they will be looked at as different and other.

I went to high school in a cow town in California. Mostly whites, some blacks, some Mexicans, very few Asians.

The whole race thing was never an issue from what I could see. I don't remember racial fights, racial comments. The jocks would all hang together - white, black, and Mexican.

I feel like the whole race sensitivity was thrust on me long after childhood. I didn't care about one's color at that time. Now I look at someone black and I'm on guard. Why? I'm not sure but it wasn't like that growing up with them.

And for that I hate the liberals who have created such a tinderbox of this country.

You are right about some of that, but I don’t remember Dixon saying or doing anything racist. He was successful in life.

Because Jesse and Al and Obama’s pastor could not exploit your guilt if we all just get along. Don’t know how they sleep at night - Dr. King must be spinning in his grave.

After re-reading your post, it makes more sense. The black culture actually propagates division and quite nearly demands it.

Freepers can correct me if I'm wrong, but the West Coast has historically (apart from the "Yellow Peril" scares and "Zoot Suit" hysteria of the 1940s) had a higher level of racial tolerance than the east coast.
