And this guy wants to be president. Amazing.

[GulliverSwift]

This coming from a guy who probably never saw a black person until he was in his 20s.

Oh, Dean wants to educate us "white folk" now. I don't know which is more outrageous: The blatant racism of that statement or the fact that he can't see the blatant racism of that statement.

Come on Rats put up a fight anyway before you lose. This is ridiculous.

[jpl]

Because nobody has as much experience associating with and befriending black Americans as Howard Dean, what with his diverse life experience and time spent out in the Hamptons, on the ski slopes in Aspen, up there in Vermont, etc. etc.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I think its about educating black folks to be good, productive Americans and not a dependent underclass.

But that's just from looking at the evidence. Dean isn't allowed to do that.

[rface]

"Dealing with race is about educating white folks." -Dean ...... and this is why Howie Dean? are you suggesting that Black Folks just can't be educated or that they don't need to be educated or what exactly does this mean?

[Rebelbase]

There appears to be some sort of magnetic attraction between Dean's foot and his mouth. I keeps happening again and again.

[11B3]

This cracker is nuts.

[Leatherneck_MT]

Yep Dean old bean, keep running your suck. Everytime you open that cesspool in the middle of your face another Right Wing Fanatic is born :)

I guess I have to disagree with the good doctor (shock!). I think blacks have much more effect on the success of blacks than do whites. For instance, if the African-American community didn't (in general) diss education and blame others for their pathologies, worked hard in school and took more responsibility for themselves, I think they would be much more successful in schools, colleges, and business. There are many successful middle and upper class blacks who have proved it, and kudos to them for their accomplishments.

This guy is a certifiable loon. He makes Al Gore look like a master of politics.

While the Republicans have baldly capitulated to racism in modern presidential campaigns, such as appearing at Bob Jones University and claiming we are so close to a "colorblind" society that affirmative action programs can be dismantled since so many minorities are appointed by Republican Administrations, while Democratic politicians have thwarted Republican minority appointments.

"Dealing with race is about educating white folks," Dean said

I'm "white", and I'm deeply offended.
Who's going to "teach me", Dean?
Who's the person "smarter than me"?
Because I'm white, I'm "stupid??? "

Sniff,sniff. Bush landslide in 2004.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

I can see it now,"DEAN'S BOOK OF QUOTES"!Only a cheap desperate person would make a comment like this because whites are getting da*n tired of taking the blame for the irresponsible minorities.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don't know who should be more insulted by Dean's latest spew. Blacks or whites. It may be a tie.

[sandydipper]

Dealing with racism is having blacks pull their own weight with out getting a handout or preferential treatment from the government.

While the Republicans have baldly capitulated to racism in modern presidential campaigns, such as appearing at Bob Jones University and claiming we are so close to a "colorblind" society that affirmative action programs can be dismantled, the Democrats have struggled to find a message that attracts swing white voters and loyal voters of color at the same

Just wanted to point out that this sentence is not in quotes. I assume it is the reporter himself who is calling us all racists. I know they are awfully blatant, but this seems more pointed than usual to me.

Happy New Year, and just damn.

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.

[sourcery]

I thought it was blacks who suffered from lack of education?
