The school I grew up in had two black students. My daughters go to a magnet school FILLED with all types of kids, and they are there because they tested in and they want to sucdeed. We say that "they have no black friends" because they just have FRIENDS of all colors, and color means nothing to them.

If community agitators were to say to their (I'm sorry BLACK) followers..."we are going to do our best to get good jobs in here. Work hard at them and you will succeed. If you fail, it's nobody's fault than your own" then racism would die out in a generation. What is keep in it alive is 1) black people who want to hate white people and want a free ride for what happened two hundred years ago, and 2) White people looking around them and seeing black people that seem dangerous and angry because they have been TAUGHT TO BE SO. And those people are not going to change their minds based on the kind of hate preached in President Obama's one-time church.

Gandhi taught the Indians that the British saw them as inferior "woggies", and the only way to free India was to make the Brits realize that the Indians were just like them. He showed the masses (some of them who were militant killers out for blood) that they needed to get educated, work hard, make something of themselves, and be peaceful. In the end, the Brits became embarrassed by their own bigotry, and they changed their ways, and ultimately granted India freedom. Again, do this, and racism disappears in a generation. Work hard, fit in, be noble. And you can do this by respecting people, respecting yourself, and fitting in. And for God's sake, learn to speak clear "business English". And pull your pants up.

And for God's sake

Really, that's the answer for it all. Do what you do for God's sake. (Not some ersatz, graceless God like Allah either.) Evil will start to be shown the exit door, goodness will start to be invited. Doing things for "humanity's sake" is asking for a cornucopia of distortions.

Ghandi was an Indian talking to Indians, so the heard him and acted on his words.

What American Blacks need is a liberal Black American they respect to tell them those exact same things: "Again, do this, and racism disappears in a generation. Work hard, fit in, be noble. And you can do this by respecting people, respecting yourself, and fitting in. And for God's sake, learn to speak clear "business English". And pull your pants up."

It worked for Ghandi and the Indians, and it would work for American Blacks, too - and in doing so, utterly destroy the Democrat Plantation powerbase.

If only we had someone here who could say these things like Cosby did in India...

Oops, what did I say?
