How Progressive Race-Baiters Destroyed Civil Rights Progress in America
The past weekend and today mark the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy for racial progress in America.
It’s been almost 44 years since his death, and almost 48 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Very few people can honestly argue today that we haven’t had a revolution in race relations since that time. There’s little need to cite a long string of evidence for this point. President Barack Obama stands as the most important testament to the nation’s commitment to equal opportunity before the law, for all Americans regardless of race, creed, or color. And it bears repeating and should be shouted from the rooftops, but nearly 9 out of 10 Americans today support marriage between blacks and whites: “Record-High 86% Approve of Black-White Marriages.”
This kind of progress on race — the overwhelming repudiation of Jim Crow racism — would have been literally unfathomable 50 years ago, before the civil rights revolution of the 1960s. Americans have broken “the color line,” in all its forms — that last barrier to full acceptance and inclusion for all people, discussed in Earl and Merle Black’s magisterial work, Politics and Society in the South.
But as real world events constantly remind us, it has taken the election of a black president to reveal where the true threats to racial progress linger in America today — on the far left-wing of the political spectrum. Just recall, for example, during the 2008 nominating campaign, when former President Bill Clinton attacked candidate Obama with disgusting racist commentary, and when Jesse Jackson himself (who was with MLK on April 4th, 1968) viciously attacked candidate Obama, suggesting he should be lynched by castration. Only on the left would such vicious Ku Klux Klan style racism be giving an abject, absolute pass. Racial bigotry on the left engenders no political recriminations and no political costs. This is the very discourse that today harms our progress on equal rights.
And here’s yet another exhibit, the sick racist fantasies of Tulane University professor Melissa Harris-Perry: 
Professor Harris-Perry claims the GOP presidential campaign has been driven by thinly veiled reactionary race talk that’s reminiscent of America in the 1860s. Seriously, the exclusive audience for this kind of phantasmagorical discourse exists only on the hard left — and apparently there’s a huge market for it, given that MSNBC is giving Harris-Perry her own show starting in February.
Let them keep trying to make mountains out of mole-hills. More and more American’s are getting wise to the shenanigans of these twits. All the proof you need is the current ratings for MSNBC and CNN. They’re circling the bowl and they know it.
They can pull Fox in with them for all I care.
Yes indeedy, the Dems will be playing the race card, as they always have. See http://clarespark.com/2012/01/03/the-race-card/, but also http://clarespark.com/2011/02/11/undoing-multiculturalism/. I’m encouraged by the statistics cited that mark the disappearance of the fear of miscegenation, but I find it hard to believe the findings. How many persons admit to being a racist any longer?
http://clarespark.com/2011/02/11/undoing-multiculturalism/. Melissa H-P’s notion that the Republican Party of 1860 was the “union party” is only partly true. The new party was formed in opposition to the extension of slavery into the territories. Without such expansion it was widely believed that slavery would die a natural death.
Yes, and that’s why Juan Williams was booed for accusing Newt of “belittling” for referring to Obama as the “food-stamp president”.
Facts are facts; Obama has impoverished America and caused a record-high number of people of all races to rely on food stamps – people who would never have imagined that they would need to do such a thing.
…and when you’ve spent your whole life lobbying for more givaways to minorities, it’s easy to pin the blame for this situation on you.
Lie with nasty dogs…get fleas. Don’t blame Newt for calling you flea-ridden.
Melissa Harris-Parry has a white Momma. Of course. But being “Black” has done wonders for her career.
Sounds like right-leaning Americans are going to have to walk the same road right-of-center Israeli’s walked after the Rabin assassination – if you even gave a hint of wanting to vote anything other than left or far-left, people accused of you condoning the murder. Voting left was simple the only possible moral choice! But you know, Israelis are of course a very immoral people and voted Likud anyway……Good luck in the election year!!
Barry and Michele are bigots and racists, and they’ve given us plenty of evidence. For instance, his famous “bitter clingers” statement about religion and gun ownership. But there he is, suddenly going to church . . . .
Young and foolish seems to be a common trait among these Lefty “media experts,” so you can almost give them a pass. Almost. But you have to wonder about the old and foolish among them.
RobertMN, spot on, and truly sad.
But having to wonder about the “old and foolish”…?
No, my friend. Except for a few true believers, the “old and foolish” know only too well (especially the intellectuals and the elite) that they are wrong, and we conservatives and main-streamers… are and have been right all along.
And yet they will parrot the party line with a practiced and a sincere smile, knowing full well that it’s all hog-wash… all the while knowing that enough of the un-informed, the mis-informed and the gullible will support them to keep them in power.
Me thinks something about not wanting to compete, envy and resentment and the protection of certain life-style choices. But most of all, children in adult bodies with arrested development and the petulance of “wanting what they want, regardless of outcome or anyone else”.
Cheers.
Resist We Much.
It started in the 60s, and the indoctrination of Americans has now cascaded down through three generations of teachers and their infected students (i.e., 100%). Last time it spread from Paris to America from May Day onward.
This time it will spread from America to the world, the final step on the Left’s grand march. It will proceed to the same “long hot summer” as before and crescendo here in a Left manufactured race war intended to destroy the elections.
But it will also, like with the “occupy” zombies, go viral worldwide. After all, they tell us in the media that their cells have already been established in over 400 cities.
Duck! After May 1st, Run!
pelaut
” the indoctrination of Americans has now cascaded down through three generations of teachers and their infected students ”
Exactly…
We live just 5 miles from Washingtons Crossing PA. Much of the county sports a “Christmas night, 1776” motif year round. Our neighborhood dates to the 1750’s, our house is even older. Washington wrote to Congress of his intentions from a home 3 blocks from my sons school. A skirmish was fought in town.
Or son is Kindergarten, so who do YOU think was the first “historic figure” to be brought up by the teachers?
The Father of our Country, who’s most famous exploit occurred in right our own back yard?
No, of course not.
Christmas came and went with no mention of old G.W. in the Pubic School Kindegarten.
But last week, our 5 year old comes home and tells us they learned about THE KING THAT WAS SHOT, and how everyone is “sad” because HE WAS SHOT, and that’s why there’ll be no school on Monday.
MLK gets top billing in this Kindergarten class. The first of all historic figures to be introduced by this Public School System, and to them, putting an emphasis on THE METHOD OF HIS MURDER with 5 year olds is perfectly appropriate.
5 year olds, struggling to pronounce “assassination”.
But George WHO?
That is disturbing in the extreme.
I often wonder if the number one aim of us (various stripes of) Conservatives shouldn’t be intense home-schooling of our children. I mean every child of every member of every Conservative belief system. Otherwise, what are we doing, except for handing over our children to a system that we know well is corrupt, political, biased, devious, malicious, and intent on converting and perverting every young mind that enters their demense?
Allston,
I know how you feel, but we cant swing it with both of us working…and private (catholic) school is more than we can afford…its a “nice neighborhood” but taxes are high with elementary school LIBRARIANS making 95K, teachers 130K…
And, oh yes, the neighboring school district is on STRIKE…seems there is a little jealosy between Council Rock and Nashamminy teachers, both always trying to be “the highest paid” in the State, and alternately striking because “the other” gets paid more…
Its terrible, if ALL good conservatives have to Home School, we’ll be like exiles in our own country….those wierdo insular religious keep-to-themselves type of fringe minority…
When we USED to be the salt of the earth backbone of the nation….
Its not my country anymore, thats for sure
It started long before the ’60s; communists had a good hold on the unions by the turn of the century and mingle in with late 19th Century populism was plenty of, mostly urban, communism. By the ’30, the Comintern had well established links to fellow travellers in the US and when FDR gave diplomatic recognition to the USSR, the Comintern, NKVD, and GRU had the embassy and branch offices to operate out of. It is no coincidence that most of the atomic and industrial spying was coordinated our of the San Francisco consulate and the NYC Consulate in addition to also engaging in industrial/defense espionage coordinate the penetration into academia, media, entertainment, and arts.
I’m a child of the ’60s, started college in ’67, and I assure you the communists were already there and were well established as tenured professors and administrators.
The reactionary Left is hopelessly addicted to racial division. It’s a shame to see so-called academics like Harris-Perry working so hard to distort reality.
having lived in other parts of the country, and then being transferred back home after decades on the road, i believe it makes me see this whole black/white thing a bit different than most. living in places where blacks only make up a small percentage of the population, one tends to forget the deep and constant influence race plays where huge portions of the local populations are constantly told they are being wronged by their neighbors, and anything they want to do is o.k., since their neighbors (and often times friends) deserve it. i am smart enough and wise enough to see polititians are using this race baiting to their great advantage; but, it is damaging our country, perhaps beyond repair.
i can see the whole country coming apart and going broke at the same time. privileged/victim groups went almost overnight from something sustainable to the greater part the populace. no matter that we as Americans aren’t supposed to have any special classes of people. bring up ancient history and we can start this whole class thing up again, and totally destroy the country this time. all this, so folks can get special treatment and unlimited handouts from government.
what have i really gotten from all this? capitalism works, and it works really good. every industrious country’s economy that even gets a dose of it, like Japan and W. Germany after the war, take off and do realy well. but when you try introducing socialism/communism into it, its like throwing an anchor out of the boat under power. it drags down forward progress until it eventually sinks the boat, unless you cut the power (forward progress). then you may as well get out the fishing poles and cut bait.
Great metaphors. Wonder what would happen if they were taught to fish…then sell the catch on the open market?
The writer said “there must be a huge audience for this race baiter’s view because they’re giving her her own show” Of course that show is on MSLSD as Mark Levin would say, so “huge audience” is no longer part of the equation. These people are dinosaurs. When the college bubble bursts, they’ll be lucky to get a job on the french fry machine.
Al Sharpton and racial justice go together like mayo and pastrami. Only the uneducated will bite.
The Left uses accusations of racism as a pre-text to clamp down on individual freedom and quash dissent. At this point in history, the Left is so bankrupt that without racism much of the Left’s agenda would cease to exist.
So don’t expect it (accusations of racism) to ever go away. The Left is addicted to it, and just like alcohol or drugs, it will destroy them.
Barack Obama is the high-water mark of liberalism. leftism, progressiveism, communism, whatever you want to call it.
Landslide 2012.
“Seriously, the exclusive audience for this kind of phantasmagorical discourse exists only on the hard left — and apparently there’s a huge market for it, given that MSNBC is giving Harris-Perry her own show starting in February.”
Donald,
I suggest you look closely at MSNBC’s Ratings, Market Share and Viewership before coming to such Wild Conclusions.
At best there is a Niche market for this kind of Phantasmagorical discourse, that’s why she’s getting a show on MSNBC, and not CNN.
Professor? Irwin Corey was a better “Professor.”
And Al. Stupid, uneducated, basically illiterate, and inarticulate would be a massive step upward for him.
Since, in their view, its all about race, just a black version of “Dumb and dumber.”
When do they drive away in the dog car with the floppy ears?
– Amos and Andrea.
Harris-Perry is a piece of work, but “Professor Irwin Corey” is actually worse.
He begs for money on the streets of Manhattan, and takes in $100-$250 a day.
Then he sends the money to Cuba. That’s right, Corey is a 100% Commie suck-up. His home (a $3M converted coach house) is decorated with pictures of Fidel – one of them autographed by el Lider.
When I see how the black community cultivated sympathy for their cause, only to see them subsequently engage in the most virulent racism America has ever seen, I no longer have sympathy for them.
The quest for equality was baloney. The blacks wanted power, and with Obama they got it. Now in 2012 we’ll see how America responds to Obama’s blatant corruption, crony capitalism and racism.
You think white people are dumb? Let me tell you that we are big-hearted and we can be sympathetic, but when we see how the black community has made an industry of race hustling, I believe you will see sympathy for black causes dry up like the leaves in Autumn.
Blacks wanted power or blacks wanted money? I would posit that what the growing unemployed uneducated cadre of not-whites in this country want is money. Specifically, they want what they see on TV, in the movies, and walking down the street: a humongous color TV, an Ipad phone to tweet with but not to research, and designer threads and kicks. If it requires power to accumulate money, then obviously they’ll run for office or elect whoever promises to give them the most free money (i.e., free stuff). As an example, see Obama’s perceived campaign promise to provide income equity, by putting gas in everyone’s car tank and paying their mortgages. His black fan base bought that promise and they’re still hopeful that if they riot enough, someone (the government) will break down and give them even more something for nothing than they’ve been receiving since 1963.
I lost any sympathy I might have had for black Americans back when I was going through basic training and realized the blacks in my company hated me, and other whites, just because I was white, and not because I’d personally done anything to any of them. As I served my enlistment at various posts, I ran into this same attitude over and over again. Then, when I got out and went to college, I ran into that same attitude from the black students, who segregated themselves into cliques who openly despised white students. The female blacks seemed to especially hate the female whites. They all had scholarships based on being black, while I had to go through on my VEAP benefits, a part-time job and student loans. No one gave me a handout, I had to work hard and go into debt for the same education they got for free. And yet, they hated me, and other students like me, while we just shrugged and got on with it. I feel no guilt, no shame, no worry about being called anything. I’ve never owned a slave and I don’t know of any black Americans alive today who have been owned by a white American. Yet, we’re the bad guys because of our skin color. Oh, yeah, there’s some massive racism going on in this country, but it’s not being perpetrated by the whites.
There is a tendency in middle age to question the dumber attitudes absorbed in college. The natural way to change your mind, unfortunately, is to reverse previously held attitudes into their opposites. There are a lot of white students who have gone through college over the last few decades while quietly watching black students — for politically based affirmative action reasons — automatically being given better grades than they deserved. It will be interesting to see what happens when all these college students begin to reach middle age …
Right on! I was raised in a majority black area. I saw the same thing in high school, in the service, and most public forums. I have never been prejudiced against any race, but how can blacks go about their daily bashing of any and all things in their Hip Hop music and expect anyone to feel anything but disdain for them. It isn’t just blacks, it’s pretty much any nationality or race who have been brought up in the rap agenda.Gingrich was right. Motivation, morals, and respect for work ethic has to be instilled in the young, no matter what race. If everything is just handed to a person or persons they have no reason, or for that matter, the knowledge that they should have to work for things in life. If they are told it’s someone elses fault all their life they are surely going to believe it. It’s just like the Muslims being taught all their lives to hate and kill Jews. They don’t know any better because they are never taught anything but that!
What you’ve run into is what black people have CONTINUALLY run ito since the dawn of this nation. What conservatives need to ADMIT to is that racism still exists in this nation…and much of conservative doctrine and communications do nothing more but fan the flames!! Many white people can’t understand the black position because they have not been adversely affected as black people have in this nation.
The preponderance of “race-baiters” seem to come from the right…from GOP candidates failing to acknowledge minorities as constituents, to political rhetoric……
IF you want to be thought of as equals….try TREATING minorities AS equals!!
I truly think it wouldn’t have come to this if MLK hadn’t been assassinated. The black civil rights movement had two major groups–one which wanted peace and equality, and one which wanted power and revenge. When MLK died, the revenge-seekers took over, and we got race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
I have absolutely zero evidence for this, but I suspect the revenge-seekers had something to do with MLK’s assassination.
Your President would like for you to accept the fact, that you are a “typical white person”.
I had a discussion with a recent graduate that majored in sociology and according to her, white people are racists even though they refuse to admit it. And the fact that they refuse to admit it is pathological. It is established fact that “typical white people” are racists simply because they are “typical white people”, and no matter what they think or their actions they are racists.
In addition, institutional racism is a fact and there is nothing anyone can do to make it go away because as long as you have people of different races there will be racism exhibited by the “typical white people”, whether consciously or unconsciously.
It doesn’t matter what you do or what you think or what you say. If you are white you are racist.
So accept that you are a “typical white person” and shut up.
Racism is part of reality — always has been, always will be.
Live with it. Love it, hate it.
Legislation will not stop it.
Stop whining.
So the fact that Obama receives the same attacks from the opposing party as GWB did confirms the racism of the GOP? The fact that the Tea Party favorite candidate was Herman Cain (at least until his sleaze factor was news), confirms the racism of the Tea Party voters? Is it somehow racist to cease supporting a black man when his history of sexual harassment is exposed?
It seems that it is more a problem that the lack of racism on the part of the GOP voters in some way threatens the left. It is as if they are afraid they cease to be relevant if they acknowledge that they have already won the civil rights battle.
For those of us who identify as Independents, this effort to paint the right as racist for disagreeing with the President has just made the left look as trite, childish and out of touch as Bachman and Santorum when they emphasize their social issues.
The books I have read and their treatment on TV and in movies– which, considering the Leftist propaganda mills such media have become, may be total bullshit–portrays the blacks of past generations–”downtrodden,” mostly poor, and overtly discriminated against as they were–as almost “saintly,” black people who were a lot more independent, deeply moral and religious, had a lot of justified and hard-won self-respect, and were a proud people, and a lot more worthy of respect than today’s repellant crew, nursing their eternal grievances and screaming for more government cheese.
“…we will have people alleging that if you’re not voting for Barack Obama you’re a racist.”
As the bumper sticker says – It’s just as racist to vote FOR Obama because he’s black as it is to vote AGAINST him because he’s black.
“Seriously, the exclusive audience for this kind of phantasmagorical discourse exists only on the hard left — and apparently there’s a huge market for it, given that MSNBC is giving Harris-Perry her own show starting in February.”
Just the kind of tripe you would find and hear on MSNBC. I beginning to think that the people at MSNBC are getting paid to say more and more crazy things just to get ratings the so desperately need.
I don’t know how many Americans really believe this stuff, but someone should remind the “professor” of how long the DEMOCRATIC party controlled the post Civil War South, and that this was the south of the KKK, cross burnings, and lynchings. This was the same Democratic party that had Robert Byrd, a former grand wizard in the KKK, repeatedly elected to Congress. This was the same DEMOCRATIC party that gave you reall “winners” like George Wallace and Bull Connor, people who were a symbol of Southern DEMOCRATIC racism in the post civil war south.
The Republicans not only fought to save the Union and end slavery, but they held completely opposite views that all of the DEMOCRATIC racists held in the South. So I would think that the good “professor” should actually be embracing the Republicans rather than trying to tear them down. Republicans are still the party of real equality (having the first male and female African-American Secretaries of State), rather than having a Democratic party that wants to keep African-Americans dependent on the plantation of Federal subsidies and handouts. If there are any people that are actually harming race relations in this country, its frauds like this “professor” who can only make a living by screaming that there is a problem when one really doesn’t exist. Because, if she was right and America still has this “secret” racist agenda, then why is Obama president? People on the left never can really answer that question.
At my 9 year-old son’s (leftish) school, the teacher was going on-and-on about who’s black and who’s white and who’s this and who’s that.
The kids had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. They are completely color blind, or rather were until the ugly indoctrination started. It wasn’t indoctrination which started at home. It started (and finished) at school
Here’s a suggestion: whenever MSNBC is mentioned always point out that it is controlled by Comcast (in partnership with Microsoft).
If just ten percent of conservative Comcast customers were to express their unhappiness with financing this electronic equivalent of The Nation (whose editor is a regular guest) by switching to DirecTV Comcast’s net income would take a serious hit.
Unfortunately, it isn’t only the hard left that clings to racism, it’s also a large part of the black community. That’s because, not only have “progressives” been telling them for decades that racism will always hold them back, they have been telling themselves that “white America” will never give them a chance. How else to explain why black kids castigate another black kid who excels in school for “acting white”?
A couple of points. First, aren’t all those people fleeing the Democratic party racist? That’s the reason liberals would give. Second, the book “American History in Black and White” is a different take on race relations in the U.S. that is contrary to the historical rewrite fed to us by liberals. Conservative Christians led the abolition movement and, after the Civil War, it was the Republican Party that pushed equal rights legislation. They also supported formation of the NAACP. It was Democrats who reversed equal rights, formed the KKK, and instituted Jim Crowe laws. And once they got around to dealing with equal rights (thanks largely to Truman), their solution was not equality but rather reverse discrimination. The problem here is that conservatives stick to the principle of equality while liberals pander to the perennially aggrieved.
Gary Younge’s article is little short of pitiful; his like always show their hand by portraying welfare as something that whites outnumber blacks in receiving, failing to account for percentages which is where the true story lies. Younge himself admits whites outnumber blacks 33 times in Sioux City but only 9 times on welfare therefore himself making the proper argument while ignoring it.
Younge is a typical third rate thinker among America’s black elites on the Left that confuses 2 or 3 questionable anecdotes with an overarching racist philosophy among whites because that overarching philosophy among whites is simply non-existent and so there is no other case to be made except by stretching truth to its limits.
For that overarching philosophy I bring you to Melissa Harris-Perry, a near pitch perfect analogue of Joseph Goebbels. What I love about Ms. Harris-Perry writings and speeches is that you don’t even have to dip into an archive to find conspicuous examples of her hate speech against whites. All you have to do is visit her writings and there is so much to choose from it is challenging.
My favorite hate quote by her on national TV is from the Ed Show of May 17 of last year where Ms. Harris-Perry said in speaking about President Obama “This is a President who signed an act that actually reduces the ways in which we go after marijuana, make it harder to put people in jail around cocaine at the Federal level, actually liberating more black bodies from the criminal justice system…”
One can only wonder at Mr. Younge’s response to actual and real racism such as this if it were said by Rush Limbaugh about President Bush a few years ago and the word “black” turned to “white.”
Another darling on the black elite’s Left is the despicable Mary Frances Berry, who was amazingly a former chairwomen on the U.S. Commission for Civil Rights and once said: “Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them”, which is as brazen as her apparent belief in having that special shield which means no matter what she says, it’s not racist, even when it is. Ms. Berry also wrote in July of 2010: “Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans.” Publically admitting that one is a liar and a race pimp in only 2 sentences is rare and why I used the word despicable.
Since Ms. Berry’s view is echoed by the racial prosecutions and lack of them by Eric Holder who has turned the DOJ into a branch of the NAACP, it is not hard to see what a real overarching philosophy representing hate speech looks like compared to Younge’s limp recitals.
I guess I’m not surprised MSNBC would give hate-speech-lite its own program though if some smart Republican comes at this fact in the right way it is going to blow the Democrats out of the water and expose them for the racist entity they are so desperately searching for everywhere but in their own mirrors.
I recommend Shelby Steele’s White Guilt, very insightful book on how the Civil Rights Movement was hijacked to drive the progressive agenda
And Обама ain’t even black. He’s a mulatto. Of course, since I pointed this out, I must be a RAAAAACIST!
Most American blacks are mulatto, making your point moot. In the US, mulattoes have been treated the same as any other African-American. Skin tone has always been trumped by skin-color. If you didn’t know Barry’s mother was white, you wouldn’t even guess he was any different from someone with only African ancestors.
Actually, you’re both wrong. The White Middle/Working class is not panting to join the KKK. Neither is it willing to sign on for the BANKRUPT Civil Rights Movement:
*A permanent groveling abasement by every White to every non-White. See South Park, Eric Cartman “Blacks in this day and age can do no wrong.” And — “Nobody messes with Black people, nobody.”
*A permanent, ever growing transfer of wealth from Whites to Blacks AND Hispanics, the latter two groups being unable to read (47% of Detroit adults are illiterate) or generate wealth (Pew Hispanic Trusts reports MEDIAN Household net worth: Whites/$115K, Hispanics/$6k, Blacks/$5k).
*Whites rapidly moving to minorities in their own country.
*Permanent and ever expanding discrimination and oppression against Whites to help non-Whites. Whites being punished for past racism decades ago by being treated (for those without wealth and connections) like a Black man in Mississippi in 1950.
No greater example of what Civil Rights means can be found than the Black flash mobs beating random White people, and no charges filed. Because hey, just White victims (value-less) and as Eric Holder said, it “is an insult to my people” to suggest Whites have Civil Rights. Under the law, and the Act itself, that is true. Whites HAVE no rights.
Most Whites are willing to give a few dollars out of their pockets a year, if times are good, as bribes for Blacks not to riot. White flight is about done, there are no more places to flee too, and the permanent burden (Black people as a whole remain dependent and incapable of competing in the Global marketplace) of welfare is too heavy. Nor do White people look forward to a daily beating by random non-Whites to “punish” them for stuff other long dead White people did decades ago.
There was no “hijacking” of the Civil Rights movement. It in and of itself was bankrupt in that it predicated eternal discrimination against Whites to help Blacks and OTHER non-Whites, that White elites would always have power to help wage war upon their people in alliance with non-Whites (as in Europe) to eliminate what they saw as a threat — “uppity wrong sort of White people” and that this could continue indefinitely. Civil Rights was and is as bankrupt as the Euro because like it, Civil Rights is unsustainable.
Forget Segregation and Slavery, Black people simply cannot compete (and never will) with the global cognitive elite, not in China, South Korea, or Germany. That means they will ALWAYS be dependent because they can’t create wealth, to pay someone to take care of infrastructure (like Kuwait and the Gulf Arabs) nor take care of it themselves. A permanent AA and groveling of Whites to non-Whites is also not sustainable, particularly in a decade or more of sustained hard times.
You aren’t a racist I suppose?
Is anyone surprised that this moron is a professor? I’m not.
She refers to ILLEGAL ALIENS as “immigrants,” and then refers to their “rights as citizens.”
It’s been my understanding that the ones who most dislike mixed race marriages are black. The statements I hear are usually along the lines of, ” I don’t want my son/daughter to marry some cracker because I don’t want any damn white people in my family” The plain facts are the most racist folks in the world are black.
Now it’s different from black men just having sex with a white woman to wanting to actually marry a white woman and black women will truthfully say, they don’t marry or date whites because it would make them race traitors.
Who is the racists here?
As a white guy who has walked with black women in black neighborhoods I can you tell the curiosity, questions, weird and dirty looks and harassment are non-stop.
“The plain facts are the most racist folks in the world are black.”
Oh, they have plenty of competition; spend some time around Indians, especially Souix and Tlingit. The Japanese and Chinese ain’t real fond of us round-eyes either.
So voting against Obama because he is half white is not racist?
But voting against Obama because he is half black is racist?
So Michelle only beds the black half of Barack and freezes out the white half.
Voting against someone because he is ethnically “not like me” is racist, as would be voting for someone because he is ethnically “like me”. Recall that in the past election some of the race hustlers questioned whether Obama was black enough. Whites voted for Obama at about the same rate as they did for Kerry. But a 90+% vote from blacks…
“Gays have never had such rights, so it’s impossible to claim that a federalist solution on gay marriage is setting back the clock on civil rights.” This line is very telling–It shows the depth of sickness in your political ideology. It’s fascinating how wrong you are but yet how right you think you are. So gay people aren’t people? They somehow don’t have civil rights? Is that what you are saying? You do realize that the same argument was made when it was black rights coming into question? Oh these people didnt ever have these rights, why give it to them now? That’s what you have said. These people didn’t have these rights, why give it to them now. You should be ashamed of yourself for inhumanity and your stupidity, Donald. Let me give you the help you so desperately need. So we have this document called the constitution. In it, is a bill of rights and 27 amendments. That bill of rights, and the 14th amendment, protect individuals from government abuses and afford them equal protection under the law. In terms you can understand more easily: STATE GOVERNMENTS DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ABRIDGE RIGHTS GIVEN TO CITIZENS BY THE CONSTITUTION! So you could not be more wrong–gay marriage is a federal issue– for the same reason telling interracial couples they cannot marry is. It’s not up to the States! It’s up to the constitution!
Also, how is someone lynched by castration? And how can a pass be abject?
We’re reaping the rewards of slavery.
How is it that the Arabs, the Chinese, the Japanese and even the Africans their very own selves never seem to reap the same rewards of slavery in their countries and civilizations, going back to when the first melanin-deficient gorilla bopped the first gorilla of color over the head and took away his coconut?
White society created the biggest welfare state for whites only over the past 300 years, and have fought vigorously to prevent the Irish, Catholics, people of color and Jews from holding good jobs, living in their neighborhoods, or attending their schools and social clubs. White America never went out of its way to socially and economically accept people of color until civil rights legislation forced integration not only in schools but also opened up jobs to those who had previously been denied these jobs due to their race or religion.
Now suddenly whites are being threatened from Affirmative Action? Give me a break! Do you really believe that Blacks and Latinos are taking away our children’s chances of going to a good college or taking good jobs away from whites? It’s almost if whites believe that these jobs and schools should be reserved for whites only. What about the rich white kids who took those jobs and acceptance to good schools away from deserving white kids? Whites don’t complain about them see (George Bush, Dan Quayle etc.)
Fact is…whites think they are mentally superior to people of color even the uneducated redneck inbred hillbillies. I remember back as a third year law student how I overhead a couple of white boys in the mens room discussing who they thought got the “D” in torts. They agreed that it had to be someone of color or someone where English was their second language.
This country is not falling apart because of civil rights or people of color. That’s a red herring. It’s falling apart because of multi-national corporations who sold out America for quick profits w/ China by flooding the American market w/ cheap goods. These multi-nationals by and large are managed by rich white folks who don’t care who they sh*t on, even if it’s people of their own color. They are taking your jobs away. They are ruining your chances of being able to afford to send your kid to college.
Remember Lenin said that “Capitalists will sell the rope to their own hanging”. Enjoy what you reap white America!
You have to remember sim that these are the individual responsibility folks. Meaning when something is your fault you first deny it; then you scapegoat; then you turn the position on it’s head: the victim is now the perpetrator. Ugly white men and women with low self esteem and no common sense have been doing this for ages unfortunately. They think the world owes them something because they were born white.
Just wait for the backlash against your reasonable post. You will see the full depth of sickness these people are infected with.
this country went to hell in a hand basket because of lawyers..of all colors.

Were Americans forced to buy these cheap goods?
“Fact is…whites think they are mentally superior to people of color even the uneducated redneck inbred hillbillies.”
Generalize much?
Barry Soetoro aka Hussein is NOT an African-American, he is not a member of the slave class which was brought, after being a slave class for hundreds of years in West Africa, to the Americas to continue their slavery in much improved circumstances. He is a Luo-Arab from EAST Africa, from a completely different world. He is also with mental reservation a Mohammedan as became clear from his 2009 speech to Mohammedans held in Cairo where he said as much.
As for the negro slave class, it is great that so many hundreds of thousands have managed to come out of that in recent years. It is less fine that through the home loans to undeserving blacks the economy has been torn down and the American empire on the brink of destruction.
Wally! What the devil are you on about you rank nutter?
The Race Card, the Race Pot, and the Race for the Presidency
Many millions of Americans assumed the race issue in this country was finally behind us after the election of the nation’s first black president in 2008.
After all, Barack Hussein Obama suggested as much, voters had expiated their baseless white guilt over slavery by voting for a black man, and African-Americans were elated over their achievement in nominating and electing, as my Irish mother would say, “one of their own.”
It was widely hoped that America had entered a new era of racial harmony with Obama’s inauguration.
Guess what? We didn’t and, in fact, race relations are far worse now than they had been in many decades and for a very good reason: The Obamas themselves continue to stir the race pot in order to keep it boiling through November and beyond.
Stirring, stirring, stirring.
Instead of attempting to fulfill his pledge to minimize the differences between people, to emphasize that the content of one’s character and not the color of one’s skin is what matters most, the president accents our differences by playing the always-electorally-potent race card.
What matters most to Obama is getting re-elected at any cost.
As he said last week at a D.C. fundraiser, “The very core of what this country stands for is on the line–the basic promise that no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, this is a place where you could make it if you try.”
That idea of appearances over substance reiterated what Obama said to Latinos in October: “I believe America should be a place where you can always make it if you try; a place where every child, no matter what they look like, where they come from, should have a chance to succeed.”
No slouch when it comes to racial pot-stirring, the not “angry black woman” Michelle Obama asked a rhetorical question at yet another fundraiser: ”Will we give every child–every child–a chance to succeed, no matter where she’s from, or what she looks like?” (http://bit.ly/xyk6Up)
Could the theme of what we “look like” be code for race? Do bears defecate in the woods?
Regardless of where bears do their business, race agitator Rev. Al Sharpton now does his on MSNBC and never misses a chance to stir the pot, toss some incendiary racial ingredient into it, or make certain one of his talk show guests does.
South Carolina Democrat Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian served that function in a discussion on the election in which Harpootlian managed to link Monday’s Republican debate in South Carolina with racism, states’ rights, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, and the election of 1860–all within less than two minutes.
Harpootlian demonstrated his short memory by forgetting his Democrats debated on MLK Day 20008 and the dearth of his historical expertise when he said Lincoln signed the Emancipation Declaration in 1860–when the Civil War hadn’t even begun. Sharpton and his fellow black commentator Melissa Harris-Perry took it from there and lambasted Republicans for virtually desecrating MLK Day by debating as evidence of their innate racism. . .

Race-baiting keeping food on the table of Al Sharpton for 40 years. If the media stopped spinning this garbage he would starve!
SIM;
Do you really believe that Blacks and Latinos are taking away our children’s chances of going to a good college
With such high dropout rates? No. Neither group takes education that seriously, GENERALLY speaking:
http://www.extension.umn.edu/family/components/00079a.html
“In their study of family-based expectations for Caucasian, Asian-American, African-American and Hispanic adolescents, Steinberg, Dornbusch, and Brown (1992) found strong ethnic and cultural differences related to students’ beliefs about the consequences of negative school failure. Asian-American students overwhelmingly believed a bad education would have negative effects on finding a good job, and African-American and Hispanic students predicted few negative consequences of a bad education. Although students across all ethnic groups reported that their parents valued education, African-American and Hispanic students “devoted less time to homework, perceived their parents as having lower standards, and were less likely to believe academic success comes from working hard”
This isn’t a matter of whites thinking they’re mentally superior. It’s a matter of blacks and Hispanics being anti-intellectual .
Are they anti-intellectual because they’re afraid they’ll fail, and so choose not to try in the first place? If so, doesn’t that mean that browns and blacks themselves believe they are less intelligent?
Understand, ‘racism’ is only one head of the victocrat mentality. There are simply people out there who feel the need to be opressed in a twisted conspiracy in order to have someone to blame for their failed life or to give them power. whats easier(more plesant) to believe about yourself, “i d a great job, but didnt get the raise because my boss hates me” or “i dont do that good of a job and thats why i didnt get that raise”. Now there are places where the first one is absolutly true, but more times than not its the latter one thats the true culprit, and we dont want to admit it. we see it in corporate america all the time, now imagine being raised with that mentality from cradel to grave for generations, and you have the democrat progressive pretty much figured out. It has nothing to do with skin color. in order to be ‘black’ today, you MUST walk, talk, act, think, and vote a certain way, and tow the victocrat line or you are not ‘really black’ or ‘racist’ that is how they can take a blackman who does everything they say cant be done and make him an uncle tom, or make whitey the bad guy in any situation no matter what whitey does.
The never-ending charges of racism have so cheapened the word, it no longer has meaning.
