I know this isn't the most PC of titles, but I couldn't think of anything better to describe what I'm going to talk about. I'm going to try and take a personal story of legal racism that happened to me, and intertwine that with the Dan Issel, Cracker Barrel, and Toyota stories.
I own and run a security firm in Virginia with three other guys. We've recently been trying to expand and were about to sign a deal with a rather large company in Richmond, this would have been huge for a firm of our size and I was already celebrating and looking for overly expensive Christmas gifts for my wife. Well it fell through, apparently the guys who were about to ink the deal with us got the message from higher ups in the company that they ought to sign with a minority firm. I can't give any details because nothing's final yet; but all signs point to the fact that we're going to lose out because we're 4 white guys competing with a firm run by Hispanics. I repeat, we're going to lose a lot of money- because we're white.
Dan Issel is the coach of the Denver Nuggets. In an altercation with a fan he called him a friggin Mexican (only he didn't say friggin). They had a guy from some Hispanic group on the O'Reilly Factor tonight. Not only does his group want Issel fired, but they want the Nuggets orginization to hire more Hispanics and do more work with Hispanic media. Now we're in a recession right now, companies aren't exactly hiring people right now. If the Nuggets cave and start to hire Hispanics, who do you think is going to be first in line to get fired?; you got it, white folk, they're going to be fired to make room for Hispanics, all so the Nuggets can say look at how diverse we are, please don't sue us.
Toyota just gave Jesse Jackson 700 million dollars so that he will not brand their corporation racist.
The Cracker Barrel is currently being sued for 100 million dollars for claims that they are racist to black customers. No proof, just the world of black customers against the word of Cracker Barrel management. I'd guess that the odds are very favorable that the black customers will win this lawsuit.
Actually, Issel called the guy a "Mexican piece of $hit."
Had the word "Mexican" been left out, I'm sure no one would have even heard of this incident.
Why is it OK to call a Mexican, (or anyone else), a "piece of $hit" but it's the worst thing that could ever be to call a Mexican a Mexican?
Too funny! This planet is nuts!
In short, learn how to play the game.
Remember, if you say you are an American Indian, it's intolerant to ask you to verify it.
Forget that - buy it. Then watch it every now and then. Great flick.
What would you define as "productive" as a response to anti-white racism. Bending over and taking it?
If the trend continues, and nobody in the media, legal, or political mainstream is going to speak up for the equality under law, of white people, then the extremists will prosper and grow in this vaccum.
Civil War II is not as unfathomable as it was just a few years ago.

I don't thing MLK would even recognize today's "civil rights" movement. Sad.
Now is this a racist reply?
Then punish Issel. But don't leverage Issel's stupidity to blackmail the Nugget organization. These 'minority' advocacy groups remind me of a bunch of wild dogs. They are anxious to shred anyone that appears weak.
How do we make the assuption that Issel's idiotic outburst 'represents' the Nuggets anyway? If I were the Nuggets, I'd repremand him and ignore the Hispanics outcry.
Please explain, what is the point of your question? This question should have no relevance in a color-blind society.
The fact that you feel it has to be posed is proof that the point of anti-discrimination laws/lawsuits is NOT racial equality.
I don't know. Evidently, I ain't a very good judge of such things.
It's a dang funny reply though...LOL!
