Racism may never be eradicated, but, as soon as scientists figure out how to alter skin color by genetic manipulation, it’s going to be a lot harder to practice racism.
A handful???
Sheesh. That's part of the problem right there. Even the most intellectually gifted on our side minimize the problem.
Actually, I have reason to be optimistic that race hustling will go the way of the Dodo.
Once Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al go the way of the Dodo themselves.
I don't see any young Sharptons or Jackson waiting in the wings to pick up the mantel (mantle?) once they go their eternal reward.
I could have saved the author a lot of work and words:
Why American Racism Is Impossible To Defeat.... It Is Because The Wrong Race Is Being Called 'Racist'.
Wouldn't this be the second time Jackson has expressed this desire (the first time being towards obama)? Is this a weird fixation of his?
The author could advance his son's chances of being successful in life and avoiding the majority of race-related pitfalls, if he promotes (as likely he will) such character traits as Honor, Courage, Trust - gets him OUT of public school and sends him to a good secondary school to become a professional.
I work at a large software company where we are a mix of many races, not just black and white.
Asian, Indian, Black, White, European (is that a race?) - we all work together because we are all professionals and we all respect and value each other as such.
Skin color means nothing - unless you use it as an excuse to misbehave.
Because the Black Community and their so called “leaders” keep racism alive, it’s their meal ticket.
They accuse white’s of racism, but it’s the other way around.
Yes, there is racism in this country. It has been thriving for nearly 5 decades now. It was born with the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and thrived under the multitude of laws, government programs, and ceaseless, CEASELESS admonishments regarding white privilege and whites’ hatred for blacks. It has done so under such a massive funding profile that would boggle the mind, yet it is still not enough for this law’s impact.
It bound a large number of blacks to entitlement programs and ruined their communities; ‘cultures’ grew out of this that include popular music’s disdain and abuse of women, law enforcement and white people in general. It grew organizations that think only of blacks, and what affects them. It further instilled in a majority of blacks that people of color are still victims of white man’s slavery, that they are OWED compensation and government preference and intercession on a perpetual basis. This administration is particularly adept at intercession when it is black to white and not the reverse.
No state (at least any southern state - read Republican controlled state government) shall have the right to decide its own voting practices and any blue state or black precinct is hands off for anything, even in the midst of proven fraudulent voting. They are perpetually punished, even in the recent wake of a countermanding Supreme Court decision.
In only 49 years, it has damned this country to neverending strife because it has given blacks the ‘honor’ of being perpetual victims of racism that just isn’t there. And they know it.
Excellent commentary. Well done
That's too bad. Every example of fanning the flames of race hatred the author cites, comes from Blacks, who benefit from race hustling. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, AG Holder and President Obama ALL benefit from race hustling. The author noted that Blacks who went against the race incitement have been attacked, pilloried for their blasphemy; Bill Cosby, Charles Barkley and Lisa Fritsch(?).
There are no white race hustlers . . . . yet. Let this one-sided demonization go on and on, you will get white race hustlers. Ignore Black mobs attacking non-Blacks, ignore Blacks playing the "knockout game" and demonize any White person (or White Hispanic), who defends himself and you're putting flames on the fire. This is the goal of the race hustlers. There's money and power in it for a few of the hatred inciters.
Obviously, this does nothing to improve the condition of Black Americans. Who cares? The Black Greivance industry wants to keep Blacks poor, angry and ignorant. White Americans have been terrorized to keep their mouths shut. Bill O'Reilly stepped up the other day and he's gotten slammed.
This situation cannot continue in this way. And things that cannot continue will not. I'm awaiting the appearance of a White politician, who decides that attacking the Blacks may end up being good politics and the way to win elections. That's the next step in this travesty. The legacy media's all in. They ain't gonna change. They may collapse, but since only White People can be racist and the Media is anti-racist, they won't change their tune.
The Norfolk newspaper had two of their reporters attacked by a Black mob. Did that Newspaper change? Nope. They covered up the attack. That's how sick the media is and how far their heads are stuck up their rectums. Ain't gonna change. Can collapse and be replaced, but change? Nope.
The Democrat party profits by crying racism. The only way to stop this kind of behavior is to dismantle the Democrat party.
In 2012, 93% of American black voters proved that they were not only still RACIST like before, but that they were STUPID beyond repair.
That's only a 3% improvement over four years of non-stop evidence of Obama's intentions to destroy the USA and its people. That 93% is one huge bunch of unredeemable human garbage.
Racism is a problem. It exists predominantly in the black community. But so long as we seek racism only among whites, we have no hope of finding the solution. The light might may seem better -- the politics of reparations and extortion may be appealing -- but the problem lies elsewhere.
Might be uncomfortable, but true..
Problems in “race relations” in the US mainly result from the left’s equivocation about whether blackness refers to a race, or whether it refers to a culture that rejects anyone who isn’t black. Anyone who says anything bad about the aforementioned color is branded a “racist”, even though that latter culture is in fact responsible for almost all of the “uniquely-black” problems in this country and is harmful to just about everyone.
I had a certain black guy tell me he didn’t want to raise his child around black people
Racism fuels big dollars for the likes of Jesse and Sharpton; if they don’t keep that pot stirred their money dries up. Anyone paying attention can see they do not really care about any problems the black community may have as far as finding a solution for those problems. It is all about stirring the pot of racism so people will send money.
Racism has become a nonsense term. That whites excluded blacks is an historical fact and it manifested itself in many forms. However, all great people are exclusive and as the greatness America once was passes away so does the exclusion. We have now entered into a phase of Formless Struggles that will be our reality until our Caesar comes and imposes his will on a dispirited and demoralized demographic.
The left has learned they can easily play the race card and and it sticks to such groups as the tea-party, while there is ZERO evidence of racism, it still sticks to the Tea Party thanks to the MSM.
While the Zimmerman case has zero to do with race, the MSM still made the play, and the sheeple left bought it hook line and sinker.
To the left, racism is far worse than abortion, murder, the IRS scandal and everything else Obama has done to ruin this country combined.
Defeat it? Can’t even define it. I guarantee that generaly speaking all races define it differently. Even within the same race there is huge variation of what it is.
