....Jared Taylor, among others:

The guy writes great stuff.

Have you read "Paved with Good Intentions"?

"My day is never complete unless some liberal calls be me a racists or fascist conservative pig."

Nawww, I like to make them lame-brained Lib'rals go speechless..."Make 'em STAMMER!!"'s my motto...

"One of my best friends, a rare critter, a black conservative, will call once a week to talk to the old honky, red neck racist who kills spotted owls to go with his Red Legged Frog dinners."

You ever gigged 'em yerself?! Man, fresh-kilt frog legs are a mouth-waterin' Kansan treat!!

"He really knows how to make my day for me!"

I, too, retain a small cadre of Lib'ral buddies solely for the purposes of amusement...armed with nothing but nonsensical, emotional arguments and no factual documentation whatsoever, these stubborn Leftists flail about in a pitiful attempt to create a meaningful thought, as I chuckle deviously from my perch in the MudCave.

Please have a Happy and Safe 4th, my FRiend...MUD

Actually my Dad taught me a way to catch our frogs for frog legs in a sporting manner.

You attach a big red fishing fly to some stout tippet and then attach it to your fishing fly. Then when the frogs came out to laugh at you and go ribbet out of gig range, you tossed the red fly out to them. They jumped on that red fly like liberals jump on our tax $'s.

You had a fun battle bringing them into you, before you sent them to frog heaven. Then, you had sauted frog legs for dinner or breakfast.

With similarly-catastrophic results for both, I might add...

"You had a fun battle bringing them into you, before you sent them to frog heaven. Then, you had sauteed frog legs for dinner or breakfast."

Fried fer these arteries, please, with apple butter or honey-mustard fer dippin'...MUD

Us honkies are naturally racist, from cradle to grave; therefore, black people naturally deserve a compensatory leg up on the competition </SARCASM>

I'm 1/16th Cherokee. Does that mean I oppress myself less than you oppress yourself, or does that simply mean I have twice as much "Native American" to oppress? And to think that I was responsible for running myself ragged on the trail of tears (sob!)...

Whites are a minority on the planet, what irks these people is that we happen to be sitting on, and YES in 'control of' the civilization WE CREATED and strive to propogate throughout the world.

So bite me. And excuse the hell out of me for daring to be more than a bit skeptical on the ideas of 'racial equality'.

I judge every man by the same measure, but not by the same expectations. To hold the same expectations would be nonsensical, cruel and an impediment to individual compassion.

Actually, the most racist people I know are black, but I don't presume that all black people are racist.

Wait until you get a few AIMsters into the mix. To these radical skins, white people are inescapably racist and inferior, but so are black people. The difference is that the AIMsters have to pretend that black radicals are their brothers, but a skin is the noblest of all victim classes.

The only people held in less esteem than whites (and secretly blacks) are breeds. A breed is a wannabe by definition, especially that thin blooded sort of breed known as a nosebleed, black or white. To these radicals, a wannabe is the most evil and contemptible sort of person in existence.

As a black man, I admit I am bound to suffer from prejudices of my own. I cannot be racist, however, because in the global order I do not belong to the dominant group. If I were to mistreat a white person, no matter how low in social status, the weight of this country's white power structure would come down against me.

This is just another example of the looney fringe-left ignoring completely individuals and looking only at groups. Idiots, the lot of them.

Here's the problem, though: If all whites are condemned as racists, no matter what they do, where is the incentive for them to do justice?

Because we don't want to be racists? Our reward is an inner one? We like being righteous?

"Make "racism" something that a member of a minority can never be, no matter how bigoted, and you rinse away that moral force. And of course, who says that minorities don't have "power."

Yes. The left would certainly like to maintain that no member of a minority group (however defined) can be racist. However, given the logic involved I guess they would also have to admit that the Nazi Party wasn't racist when they didn't have political power (that is, when they didn't enjoy a "democratic" majority).

Or perhaps not.

I will have to say, though, that it appears to me that what the liberals are really asserting is that only white people can be racist (since they never seem to apply this "logic" to countries in which whites are a minority).

If that's true, their argument merely boils down to the so-called Genetic Fallacy. And that fallacy is certainly popular with the "enlightened" left.

But racism is a combination of prejudice and power

Not.

Power may make it hurt more but it doesn't perform any alchemy on prejudice, suddenly turning it into "racism".

By conviently adding power as a necessary ingredient, it is possible to excuse one's own racism by claiming to be powerless. If you hate someone because of their color and are powerless, you are still a racist..... picking up a gun (power) and killing them doesn't make you any more racist.

My copy is autographed by the author!

I would have liked to meet Mr. Taylor. "Paved with Good Intentions" was one of those books that had a great impact on my views. Not exactly an epiphany, but it opened my eyes to some hard truths about race in America.

And sadly prejudice is a deeply ingrained human trait...which means that ALL human beings are racist. I don't know how sad it is that an efficient symbol can keep a person from becoming a victim. If I saw certain types of people at one place or another I probably would not visit.
