Not because white people are worse than black people about race but because whites are in the majority, and therefore the behavior of whites has a much bigger influence on hiring practices and so forth and so on than the behavior of African-Americans. This reminds me of the leftist cant that only white folks can be racists since only white folks have power. What Dean is saying is not quite that bad, but it is in the same spirit.

"Dealing with race is about educating white folks,"This is a buncha happy horsesh*t, my fellow FReepers. I grew up on a farm in western NY state (born 1950). When I was about six or seven, I went to the local GLF with my Grandfather (a Scot). After he purchased a few items, we approached the cashier. In front of us was a a black man. Grandpa stated, "Out of my way, nigger." The black gentleman stepped aside and allowed my Granpa to purchase his goods.
There's two mistakes here. One, Grandpa (obviously) and two, the black American for stepping out of the way and allowing the racism to perpetuate.
Today, fifty years later, I hear no casual nor overt racist statements amongst my friends, family nor business associates.
My point is, whites have come a very long way. In my opinion, much more than any other group. It's reeducation. The Great Leap Forward.

Ronald Reagan won a bigger chunk of the black vote than any Republican has since. Even someone as pathetic as Clinton won a large majority of this voting blok.

" This coming from a guy who probably never saw a black person until he was in his 20s."
"Oh, come now, sir -- let's be fair. I expect that they had a black maid in the mansion, and perhaps a black janitor."
According to the NYT piece on the " we're just like everyone else Dean family-except we have baby nurses, prep schools, Park Ave and East Hampton homes,servants and memberships in exclusive country clubs" -Howard Brush Dean III's only exposure to actual black people may have been the backstairs maids.
From the article:
"While his parents were active in the exclusive Maidstone Club, an East Hampton institution that for decades refused to admit blacks or Jews, the Dean boys shunned that life. "I had plenty of friends at Maidstone, and they were people I liked," Dr. Dean said

"There appears to be some sort of magnetic attraction between Dean's foot and his mouth." Well, you know how a lot of parents have trouble getting their kids to stop sucking their fingers? Perhaps baby Deanie had a toe-sucking issue.

What if someone said that you have to educate Blacks to get over this race crap Then what It would depend on his reasons and what sort of education he was talking about, and whether he thought non-blacks needed some type of education, etc.
To: PeaceBeWithYou
Dean does it again. He could be the poster boy for what NOT to say when trying to win an election, but what do I know? Carry on yapping boy.

You forget that Dean is from New York City---he saw plenty of blacks. That's about the only thing I can say in his favor. He's still a schmuck!!

My mother lived in Bridgeport, Connecticut in a gated community where the nice,kind liberals thought she was my nanny, or whenever she answered the door, that was the maid. I think Howie is a turd.

Trash is trash. I don't care if it's white trash, black trash, red trash, yellow trash, brown trash, or purple-and-green-spotted trash. Race is immaterial.
*Culture* might have something more to do with it--the whole no-personal-responsibility-needed welfare culture of grinding poverty, fatherlessness, dependency, etc. The fact that the people caught up in it are largely black is immaterial. Forty years of liberal "help" would destroy a culture, regardless of their color.

Every bit as pathetic as the pandering racism inherent in
Dean's statement is that he ACTUALLY said "and so forth and so on" in a speech. This guy is truly running on empty: an automaton is more spontaneous.
To: Bikers4Bush
And this guy wants to be president. Amazing.Amazing is putting it very mildly. This guy is certifiable and if he is nominated I would NOT be surprised if he loses all 50 states. If I am wrong, as much as I love this country, I will think very seriously about taking a LONG vacation to the home of my ancestors in Sicily. As "LIBERAL" as Sicily is it won't compare to what the US has in store for it if the unthinkably improbable happens.
