My wife is a manager for a large concern and occasionally has to hire workers. She interviewed one young, white woman a few weeks ago for a position. During the interview, the young interviewee's cell phone rang. She hadn't bothered to turn it off for the interview. And then she took the phone out of her purse, and answered the call. She was on the phone for several minutes while my wife watched with mounting anger. The young white woman did not get the job.
The racial divide in the elections is becoming more and more apparent. Liberals have managed to run a substantial number of the white middle and working class out of the Democratic Party. People are, quite frankly, fed up with the same old excuses regarding the welfare state, underperformance in academics and the workplace, illegitimacy, false braggadocio, and crime and violence. 50 years of “civil rights” “open housing” and “affirmative action” yet this is what results? Enough is enough.
Please note that when I say "Blacks" I don't mean everyone who is Black...I only mean those who are Black Liberals or those who earn their living exploiting those who are Black.
The Zimmerman verdict does not bode well for the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world. It does not bode well for the race baiters of the world.
But it does bode well for the truth!
Education, hard work, and honesty -- sterling qualities totally lacking in Thug Martin. Most non-black Americans do admire these qualities and look to character first, then skin color. But blacks will never see the world that way. They seem destined to carry a battleship-sized chip on their shoulders from here to eternity.
Define "education". The typical norms of education of positively SPAT UPON by "black culture."
Certain, select black individuals – usually those who must disavow any relationship with “blackness” – are allowed a modicum of success outside the black paradigm.
Disavow "blackness"? And what does this actually mean? The author means people like Clarence Thomas, people who embrace education, Americanism, constiutionalism and Judeo/Christian standards of decency. People who abhor gangsta culture. That's exactly what this dingbat author means-- and he can't stand that!! If there's a "black paradigm", he can look in his own damn mirror! I won't even get into the "modicum" of success enjoyed by hundreds, nay thousands of black Americans across the board ---- all the way to White House (assuming, of course, you accept that one as an American....)
I have dealt with two Ivy-League educated blacks at work. Both I had the highest respect for. Both were friends. One was technically my boss and ran the department - but if he had to take on a coding project, I ran it until he was done and then I cheerfully handed the department back to him when he was done. Never looked to backstab him, we had that kind of trust in each other. And we ran some good hoops in our spare time as well.
He was racially profiled by the local cops at times, I felt for him and we discussed that.
He bears the burden of the pathologies of urban black culture, even though he rose above such.
But that does not change the fact that such pathologies are there, and Trayvon had bought into them.
Any HONEST discussion of race cannot be predicated on a false narrative of what happened that night. But that is what the liberals and race pimps are demanding.
THIS is why I'm a racist these days.
Most blacks can't even entertain the thought that the entire Zimmerman trial was about whether a crime was committed or not.
A jury detemined, "no crime" of any kind.
Most backs see only racism.
Purely anecdotal observation on my part but ever since this trial my friends, family, and coworkers have pretty uniformly exhibited much more hostile attitudes toward black people than I have ever witnessed from them before. People are tired of the race baiting, and of the constant accusations of racism over the smallest of slights.
No, but in my case, she may not talk to me for a day or two, depending on the topic.

Wow. If the person I was interviewing answered the phone, I would have showed him or her the door right then and there. Why did your wife continue the interview and let her anger level rise?
Individuals, yes. Certain, select black individuals – usually those who must disavow any relationship with “blackness” – are allowed a modicum of success outside the black paradigm.
Don’t ‘act white’ in school... Don’t be an ‘Uncle Tom’...
Keep it ‘real’... That’s old school... We’s New School.
Yada yada.... Let’s have some straight talk here, most caucasions, asians and others see most blacks, as walking, talking racial grievances looking for a place to put their fist. And with reason too, unfortunately their biggest targets are the ones with the same type of melanin count as themselves.
Until they get over their “grievances” and decide that they want to join the rest of civilized society they will stay right where they are... At arms length from the rest of the people who make up are society, and that’s all the people of all the colors who do want to belong to a society that does treat everyone the same and respects those who work hard to better themselves rather than sitting around moaning and groaning that the EBT ‘handouts’ don’t last very long.
That sentence alone should be the only reply to the race hustlers and the MSM until they knock it off. Powerful.
Only in a racist country could a man fear for his life just because another man is sitting on top of him slamming his head into concrete and punching him in the face.
I have heard more than one black person on the radio describe Trayvon as “walkin’ down the street not doin’ nothin’” when he was shot. As the months and years go by, pretty soon approximately 100% of blacks will believe that Trayvon was shot while “walkin’ down the street not doin’ nothin’.”
D.i.v.e.r.s.i.o.n.
I once had a white woman show up for a job interview wearing ragged denim shorts, a cut off shirt and flip flops with 2 kids in tow. Gave her a minute of time, let her fill out an application, did the nicey thing and promptly threw her app in the trash the minute she went out the door.
For some, the evidence and the law dictates the outcome.
For others, the outcome dictates the evidence and the law.
The author pretty much admitted that blacks see everything through the lens of race.
does not bode well for violent thugs
I have relatives I would not give the time of day, let alone hire. We all know worthless whites. We label them as such from their actions. Yet somehow we are not supposed to apply that same label to those same actions when someone of color commits such.
