Conservatives talk about race and racism all the time. I suspect it's not possible to go down recent comments without at least one thread about race.
We can't talk with libs about race or racism. That's because if you disagree, you're a racist.
To publicly disagree with the narrative about race and racism is to hang a giant "Kick me!" sign on your back.
well, by saying that you simply showed you liked the other black kids, and the problem was just him. It must have shocked him indeed that not all blacks are the same in your eyes. If you had been a hypocrite like a liberal, he would have seen it and he would have kept playing and dragged the whole lot of them into the self hate and demoralization.
What is amazing is the new mutual exclusiveness, this hate of the other. Just because I am not black, I suddenly cannot become a good doctor for blacks! So, like Nazi Germany, we become segregated through PC.
Cosby said it best when he said he did not want to be taken care by a doctor in black culture, but by a straight scientist. Can you imagine how demoralizing it is for a wealthy black man to be denied proper health care because some trash got through with affirmative action! It is horrible,
a lot of truth in those observations
The guy was an idiot, White sports would be sailing and skiing.
I suffer from CRFS (Chronic Racial Fatigue Syndrom). Please folks, give generously to the National CRFS Research Foundation.
I’ll take cash, money orders, most credit cards and Paypal. Please folks, give generously and give often.
We must find the cure before it’s too late.
We conservatives have been talked AT about race and called racist since the charlatan Obama was ran for president. After 7 years of being called a racist and no matter what a conservative says it will be called racist. What’s the point? Trying to debate a leftist race baiting punk like OBama is like trying to teach a bicycle riding fish to find Gloria Steinem attractive.
Here is why this white conservative hesitates to discuss
race. The term “race” infers group. My conservative
mindset focuses on the individual and not the group. I
neither accept nor reject others based on race. That goes
for all people, including those who are white like me.
I gravitate toward those who think and/or act like me
and I don’t give two dead flies about color. If we like
and hate similar things then we have a starting point.
When I was young teen I was naive enough to think that
desegregation would cause people with different skin
to live, work, and play together. That was in the mid
60s. Was I naive! Stokely Carmichael preached that
black power meant that white people were devils and
black people should stick together. H Rap Brown and
Malcolm X were the same. Their shtick bothered me
when I was a kid.
To liberals everybody is part of a group. That is how
they divide and conquer. What race a person is way
down the list for me.

We don’t want to talk about it because it’s stupid, banal and race is about some distant past of anachronistic and asinine ideas about the character of a man, based on his skin color alone.
As if his actions don’t matter.
As if his results don’t matter.
As if his compassion doesn’t matter.
No, the content of the man matters...
This reminds me of a conversation I had with my father, a diehard liberal & Democrat, about poverty so prevalent among certain minorities. He gave the usual excuse about racism.
When I said not everything can be blamed on racism, he replied, “You’re starting to sound like a Republican.”
The Word of God tells us we're all evil. Krauthammer is especially evil because he is a duplicitous liar, posing as a conservative journalist when he's not.
I get the feeling lately that race has become an obsession among the liberals & Democrats. It’s constantly in the news. It’s as if the minorities, feeling that they are losing their importance, are crying out for validation. The only way is through victimization — and by hitting everyone else on the head with it over & over again.
Nobody on the left wants an honest conversation about race because too many white libs have made a fortune from it. “Educators” in particular have made a fortune pretending to educate blacks; if anyone had real expectations of blacks those teachers would be fired (if not jailed). Imagine failing consistently in your job year after year, still getting pay increases that far outstrip the private sector, and your defense is that the students are black. End of the conversation right there; it is assumed you did your best...
Malcolm X changed his tune later in life when he realized there were white Muslims; he also thought blacks should take responsibility for themselves instead of depending on the charity of whites. Too bad he didn’t live long after that epiphany...
I tend to
agree with
your points
despite the
narrower
opinion I
might offer.

Some of his arguments do seem exaggerated to me, but the main gist of them seems to be about right.
Yes there are. It makes a lot of their behavior seem much more understandable.
I occasionally follow links over there, (Usually from "American Digest") and I am often impressed by how astute some of the writing is at that website. I did get the impression that it was a bit insensitive when it came to issues of race, but I can't say i've read anything there which I thought was over the line.
They seem to just state the ugly truth in a very non-Politically-Correct sort of way. Far too few people are brave enough to do that nowadays.
It’s never a discussion, it’s always a scolding.
No thanks.
