I bet this guy is NEVER published again in the above mentioned papers...

The problem is that so many whites con themselves into believing that they have to apologize. Virtually every American, walking alone on a dark street, would be relieved to see that the group of young men coming along behind him were white rather than black. No man of integrity would apologize for his well reasoned opinion.

This won't increase the writer's popularity, that's for sure.

All you have to realize is that a minority cannot racialize society unless the majority willingly allow it.

If there's any fault to be found in the present racial situation in this nation it can be laid at the doorstep of those in the majority who are in desperate need of medication.

It does need to be said that racism is a two or three way street.

Okay. ...another release from the RPI people just in.
I'll post it and link to it from here in a few.

[Humidston]

Sadly, I agree.

Well, we'll see how long THIS post is kept up.

Racial hatred BY blacks is probably the number one thing holding back many members of that group from achieving what they are capable of achieving.

Good article!

It's complete political chaos. People like Bustamonte can be in your face card carrying racist and be associated with clear racist organizations, with violent intents, yet he is running for governor of the most powerful state in the country. And the white SOB Davis is pandering and to as many criminals as possible in his last bid for revenge.

This folks is clearly an assault and attack on every single American. Remember, other states to have attempted to legalized these criminals.

This guy is generalizing a bit I would say. But he did fail to mention that if you are of any minority group it is OK to be racist. Look at Bustamante and the free pass he has gotten. I have lived it and seen it. There is no denying it.

For, way too often when blacks insist they want to have a dialogue with whites, what they

Are there such things as editors anymore?

What we do have in this country is a hypocritical double standard.

The guy nails it.

Would anyone like to explain what the term "Hymietown" refers to?

[mhking]

This issue is as simple as the writer makes it one one hand, yet far more complex on the other.

The Jackson-Sharpton Unholy Cabal continues to use race as a bludgeon, not for any misbeotten measure of nobility, but simply for their own self-aggrandizement.

Certainly, some have bought into the rhetoric, but not because of any notion of "black racism," but due to the machinations and manipulations of Liberal apologists who get their jollies and feel-goods from patting "the disadvantaged" on the head.Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

What we do have in this country is a hypocritical double standard. On the one hand, movie director Spike Lee's career rolls merrily along in spite of his saying that he so hates bi-racial couples that he stares daggers at them if he encounters them on the street; and Jesse Jackson, who has raised corporate extortion to an art form, can not only get away with calling New York City "Hymietown," but with admitting that when he hears a group of young guys walking behind him at night, he's relieved to find they're white and not black.

I dare you to show me a single high-profile Caucasian who could survive such gaffes. You can't.

King warned of the race hustlers. The people like Jackson and Farrakhan have done more harm than good. More white people see their faces as representing racism and are tired of being blamed for the plight of the worlds dowtrodden. We are all human beings and we should get used to that idea.

[WaterDragon]

Wow! This guy is great! I especially liked this line....

"...insist that only those in the majority, those who have power, those, in short, who govern, can ever be labeled racists. That is totally absurd. By that standard, not the Aryan Brotherhood and not even the Ku Klux Klan -- neither of which can boast of power, numbers or influence -- could ever be condemned as racist.

I never thought about it that way, but he's absolutely right.
