Hey, let’s not! Okay? Racism wasn’t really an issue until Barry O came along. Thanks to our man-child President, you can bet a lot more people who never uttered the ‘N-word’ are thinking it today.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and will bash in the heads of the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. and get no approbation from the President or their community.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice EBT cards and bastard babies.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but and not by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. and beat them to a pulp on school buses.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley politician shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low exactly the same height by law, the rough places will be made plain like Detroit, and the crooked places will be made straight like Chicago, and the glory of the Lord The One shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
0bama is a racist, proved by the fact he will NEVER call out the black community for its horrific acts of racist violence.
Between the conservative media and Eric Holder, who is the coward about race discussion now?
Navarette usually writes sensible columns. This is one of them.
Confused? Not really. The contradiction arises because we allow the stupidest (intellectually, morally, or in some cases both), most evil people not only to participate in policy discussion, but in fact to set the assumptions and vocabulary. The result is hardly surprising or confusing, except why anyone would allow such a thing in the first place.
No, let’s have a talk about culture.
Therefore I accept no responsibility whatsoever for any injustices that some people here may have experienced.
Sick of the race crap and how everyone has a label put on them. Sick of it.
Bttt
These “conversations about race” tend to become lectures about how guilty we should all feel about historical stuff we, and in most cases our forefathers, had no control over. They do more harm than good.
Perhaps the best way to overcome racism is to overcome the stereotypical behavior that leads to racism.
I think what passes for “racism” today is simply a foreseeable reaction to gangsta culture, and that reaction can be provoked by members of any race. When people dress and behave in a way designed to provoke fear, they provoke fear. When people dress and behave in a way to provoke shock or disgust, they get shunned.
No, lets have a conversation about character and the values that Americans are expected to hold and support. This like personal responsibility, respecting the law, not stealing, or murdering, or robbing, or raping or attacking others.
Lets start with that conversation before we move on to other things like working for a living, supporting your family, getting an education to better yourself, protecting others and setting an example for your friends and family.
After that, we can move on to things that really don’t matter like the color of a person’s skin.
Ever since the general belief that “You can’t say the N word”, that was it, game over.
EVERY behavior by them has some excuse.
But don’t you dare say the N word!
Don’t you dare be critical in any way at all!
Not saying the N word has morphed into this kind of idea that we can’t do anything to “hurt their feelings” even if what someone wants to say IS THE TRUTH!!
But, as always, “He’s a good boy...”
I’m quoting numerous grandmothers there, I’m not calling anyone a “boy”.
But there are few I would call “men”.
If a Muslim kills people, it is never terrorism regardless of the number hurt or killed.
If a black injures or kills a white it is never the result of racism regardless of what is said before and after the crime.
If a white man spends their entire life trying to help and assist the black community, that person is still a racist not because on any thought or deed, but simply because of their race.
It is getting to the point where words no longer have any meaning.
The left decide what a word means and worse yet, are just as likely to change the definition when ever it suits them.
I no longer speak to my leftest family members since we are speaking different languages, there can be no communication and without communications problems can not be resolved.
I don’t believe what they call racism today is what one normally understands as racism.
The segment of society represented by the blacks have changed from the past. I have worked with, played with and enjoyed being with, a number of blacks in my lifetime. They were good, honest, hard working, family oriented people - and those who are alive still are. The others are probably rolling over in their graves.
I have changed, some,in that today I am apprehensive driving through black communities in urban areas, lock my car doors when I am passing by a groups of blacks hanging out on a corner, etc. I don’t want to feel this way, It was’nt this way a few years ago, I wish it wasn’t so.
But as a community they have changed as evidenced by the latest published data that 72% of black births are to unwed mothers, that the prisons are heavily disproportionately filled with blacks, not because of racism but because they disproportionately commit crimes, and on and on.
It is the black community that needs to make a change.
