excerpt...

Watching white MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell chastising black presidential candidate Herman Cain for not participating in the 1960s civil rights movement infuriated me. O'Donnell accused Cain of sitting on the sidelines like a coward while blacks and whites marched and protested for black civil rights. How dare this white guy who does not have a clue what it was like to be black in America in the 1960s attack a black person for not responding to racism the way he thinks he should have responded?

In the '60s, most blacks did not march or protest in the streets, but they fought for freedom in their own private ways; entrepreneurship, prayer, striving for excellence, etc. A black buddy of mine who went from being incarcerated as a teenager to becoming an art director in a prominent advertising agency attributes his success to a black high school art teacher, Lindy Jordan. Mr. Jordan mentored so many black youths that a scholarship was founded in his honor. Mr. Jordan was never seen in the streets protesting for civil rights. I submit that Mr. Jordan fought for black liberation and equality in the best way he knew how: by mentoring black youths.

My very Lord in heaven, why are these liberals presuming to tell anybody that what they ought to do is based on their race or color? This is tyranny! They should be run out of town on a rail! Why isn’t anybody complaining that this is “insensitive”???

Another guilt-wracked whitey elevating his personal vexations to the level of psychosis.

I'm surprised he didn't hector Cain into a round of, "just a few more days to tote the weary load..."

I watched O’Donnell’s racist attack on Cain. I really thought O’Donnell was going to call him “N*****”. I really had to admire Cain’s self control in not breaking Crazy Larry’s neck.

A local “conservative” radio show host was railing on Cain about the civil rights thing the other day. This was 50 years ago. Good grief ... let it go.
