Unbelievable. If Obama were to kill a girl scout troop, these people would exclaim "it's a black thing, you just don't understand!"

[dynachrome]

mega barf alert.

The faster they spin, the deeper hole they dig.

We’re just “typical white people”, we just don’t understand! “Mister” Wise’s steaming pile is beyond comment.

[pennboricua]

This guy is as much and idiot as the pastor.
All whites are to blame according to their views for not only the status of the Black man but all of the worlds ills.

[Niteranger68]

For most white folks, indignation just doesn't wear well.

The racism starts in the first damn sentence.

[expatpat]

the enslavement of Africans

Don't ascribe this to all whites. Many whites are descended from Europeans and others who had never set foot in the US until after slavery was aboloshed. Many whites are descended from Republicans, who abhored slavery.

Ascribe it to white Democrats, only.

Indignation doesn't work for most whites, because having remained sanguine about, silent during, indeed often supportive of so much injustice over the years in this country--the theft of native land and genocide of indigenous persons, and the enslavement of Africans being only two of the best examples

I admit, I was silent about slavery when it was going on during my lifetime...

[frogjerk]

But here we are, in 2008, fuming at the words of Pastor Jeremiah Wright, of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago--occasionally Barack Obama's pastor

What other Church has Barry Hussein belonged to? None that I'm aware of.

[republicanequestrian]

Wait, I forgot... How many years past the civil rights movement are we? This dude is not living in 2008. Last I checked, I was more discriminated against for being white than any black person I’ve ever known!

[MEGoody]

I guess this guy doesn’t know the difference between being indignant and being hateful. Well, liberals aren’t known for being the sharpest knives in the drawer.

[Eurale]

No matter what we say here, there is nothing that’s going to dislodge Blacks from their obcession with victimization and identification with slavery. Moreover, it should be abundantly clear that they can say anything they want without being held accountable for the truth of their statements. To be accountable necessarily means that they can no longer be victims.

[frogjerk]

We were shocked to learn that black people actually believed that a white cop who was a documented racist might frame a black man

I'm trying to put a face to the name here...

[Eurale]

Black relativism and egalitarianism on full display.

[facedown]

Please, pleeeeeeeease, keep up this line of defense.

[truthguy]

Tim Wise is a major league AH. Check out his bio. I’ve been reading his stuff for years and he’s always wrong.

[Darnright]

You do realize this pablum is penned by a 40 year old self-hating white guy, don’t you?

[2ndDivisionVet]

"You do realize this pablum is penned by a 40 year old self-hating white guy, don’t you?"

Yeah, I figured that someone who wrote: "White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son" might be Caucasian...

[Twinkie]

I’m tired of black people who try to make me feel guilty about being white, about being “the child of slavemasters”. I’m too busy trying to work and make money to pay taxes so those of them who like being perpetually on welfare can continue to be a Democrat Automatic Voting Bloc and live in the pit that welfare, idleness, degenerate behavior and the Democrat Party keeps them in. My congratulations to all black folks who work hard and make lives for themselves. They’re too busy to loll around the churches like Obama attends, knocking and condemning Whitey. They’re too busy, also, upkeeping the militant, trashy ones of their own community who aren’t worth a flip. Lincoln was a Republican as were many others who helped the Civil Rights movement - unlike many of their “benefactors” in the Democrat Party such as Senator KKK Byrd (D) and Algore’s Daddy who voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act. The black community is naive to stick with that Party that has been taking them for granted for decades.
