I think back to the type of kids we knew in school that would eventually grow into becoming race baiting scumbags.

We could have reassured those sniveling losers that all’s not lost, and one day they’d find their golden road on which their appetite for vindication would arrive on the backs of minorities, and sweet defamation of our character would soon follow in their scripted fallacies.

Well, we’ve now become experts in decoding their lies and deceptions, and that golden road after all was nothing more than a thorny path of cow pie. These purveyors of racism are no longer free to discredit the good people of this Country without legitimate requital.

Beautiful baby, but why feature a Caucasian? Could they not find a beautiful black child? Perhaps Newsweek’s discriminating.

Is Your Magazine Irrelevant?

And given some minority racism I see flowering, and white racism declining, there shouldn't be a white baby on the cover.

I understand your anger. Did the same thing.

Met in kindergarten. All through school best friends. After we parted to seek fortunes we stayed in touch, crisscrossing the nation at least twice a year for long weekends etc. He and his wife and me and my wife bought a house on an island to share (sold a while ago). Nearly 50 years of friendship.

Then one time in Vegas, maybe late 2002, we were watching the Bellagio fountains. They played all the good ones in a row.. Singing in the Rain, Luck Be A Lady, Con Te Partirò, Viva Las Vegas, then the Natl. Anthem. Very cool.

My pal makes a disparaging remark re the Anthem. Then I come to learn he is of the opinion 9/11 was a function of chickens returning to roosts. He’s f-ing dead to me.

All this does is set whites up for discrimination by ever growing numbers of minorities, despite the fact that whites have become more open and accepting of minorities in every aspect of their lives.

But even as whites do this, the media continues to stoke minority anger.

This piece is so wrong on so many levels. Coincidental timing now that Acorn should be forced to wear a dunce cap and sit in the corner, pending RICO charges?

Our daughter at a young age piped up at home relaying a teachers statement about black persons as part of a lesson. Kelly came home wondering why they were called black: some dark brown, some reddish brown, some like hot chocolate...then she went on to describe herself as light beige. Why would we be called ‘white’?

Do kids notice differences? Of course. It’s what they do with their observations and if they draw any broad characterizations based upon differing skin tones.

Mine didn’t and having worked with young kids, the overwhelming majority don’t. Of course if a kid is an ass, they’ll be mostly ignored for asininity.

Strangely, on the eve of the conservatives' biggest protest ever, I'm feeling a bit down. I'm thinking about the Marxists and what they control and where they've hidden all these years.

I feel angry and anxious of the future of America more than ever.

We're stopping Obamacare and the troops have a trial against Obama's eligibility and that is wonderful but I think Americans' lives are about to get real ugly.

Conservatives are really getting their war footing. The Marxist are already at war on American society.

Lordy! Between you two, we have not only lost the battle, but we’ve lost the war!

The “newsrooms” aren’t being watched much anymore. Just look at the ratings!

C’mon...

FIGHT BACK!

What a gorgeous baby! My wife is half black, her mom is white with shockingly blonde hair and blue eyes. You would never imagine my wife to be anything but a light skinned black if not for her somewhat curly dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

My two daughters are only 1/4 black but look exotically “not white.” Both have slightly curly light brown hair, one has blue, one has hazel eyes. What is most amazing about them is their complexion. Not white, but not light skinned black or even the color of Hispanics. “Butter with Cinnamon” is how my mother once described them.

They grew up (they are 27 and 23) giving little importance to their color but placing the fact that they were AMERICANS above all else.

Liberal media control of which this Newsweek article is a prime example (note only whites are criticized) is really beginning to tick me off. It is far beyond bias.

My little ones are NEVER told there are races. They don’t have a CLUE that there are races until maybe 8 years old. We live in a highly mixed area and they see people every day of all stripes. It’s normal to them, as it should be to us all.

I would NEVER let my little kids be told at the young age of the subjects in this study that there are people that might be grouped into different levels of kindness according to their outer appearances.

Little kids can be color blind. Sadly these social scientists cannot.
