The Democratic Party as the Party of Race
As someone who was a sixties civil rights worker, wrote movies for Richard Pryor (successfully) and Whoopi Goldberg (unsuccessfully), and has had the pleasure of working with many talented African Americans at PJ Media for nearly seven years now, I think I have earned the right to write what should be painfully obvious to everyone — most of the racism in America today is from blacks (aided and abetted by white liberals) toward whites.
In fact, it’s getting to be outrageously so. The rude treatment of Mitt Romney at the NAACP convention is yet another data point in what has become an all-too-predictable scenario.
Much of the reason for this stems from the extreme dependency of the Democratic Party on race politics. With union membership dwindling, the party would literally disintegrate without the overwhelming support of African Americans and Hispanic Americans. Without at least the perception of racism, the Democratic Party has only marginal support. The party is forced to encourage it for its survival.
A whole network of connections, careers, and lifetyles has evolved from that, many of them largely counter-productive. Indeed, the argument can be made that the Democratic Party has destroyed the lives of minorities in order to save itself. Their programs, from the Great Society onwards, have done nothing substantial to improve minority lives, only to encourage dependency. The proof of this failure we see before us today in the dreadful statistics on black and Hispanic unemployment, far worse than the already horrendous national numbers. The more minorities are “helped,” the worse their lives become, the less equal we are.
The Democratic Party is then the true racist party, trapped in nostalgia for a time when genuine racism — Jim Crow, etc. — stalked the land. They have to assume significant white racism still exists because not to do so threatens the fabric of their being. A Tea Partier has to be a racist so you can dismiss his ideas without having to confront them or even think about them. Mitt Romney is just another rich white man so you don’t have to deal with what he is saying, you don’t have to evaluate whether he has a solution to a mutual problem.
I read an article the other day on the lessons that Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books have for us. Do black kids read Little House on the Prarie? Do they understand that not all whites have had it easy? Or is their reading confined to books about black victimization? How many blacks have read Chinese Girl in The Ghetto or Escape from Camp 14? Are they encouraged to see Asians as people who also may have struggled? Are they taught that life can be hard even without a racial factor and that many have overcome difficulties that make their own look like a piee of cake?
Eric Holder says we are too cowardly to have an honest discussion about race. I think people like him are too cowardly to have an honest discussion about our common humanity.
If I may ask, is that article available on the web?
As one who read most of the Little House books, I can think of one story black activists would point to to prove the author (and her family) were racist.
They would disregard the story in Little House on the Prairie, where a black doctor treated the family after they all came down with malaria.
Instead they would point to Little Town on the Prairie, where Laura’s father and several other men in the town covered themselves in black face and put on a minstrel show.
See if this works:

I’m not sure the Democratic Party needs to play the, so called “race card.” Though the GOP, through their apparent pick of Romney, has certainly played the dumb card. The Romney campaign is imploding as we speak and is undergoing a political infibulation of sorts. This is what happens when candidates are not properly vetted. Lying for the lord is really reprehensible …
I think Andrew Sullivan summed up the Bain situation best yesterday in that:
“Either you own the company or you don’t. And saying one thing to the SEC and another thing to us needs to be reconciled. Even if the shift was abrupt with Romney’s departure for the Olympics, it’s stunning to see it took Bain three years to correct the record. Legally, Romney is responsible for everything that happened while he was sole owner of the company. Which is what he told the SEC.”
Then a commenter (Brent Wilson) on TPN really nails it:
“Romney trying to reduce this to a question of his day to day role is beyond ridiculous. Its irrelevant. It was his company. He is responsible for it. Whether he was personally in the room for every deal signed is a completely beside the point. It is beside the point in exactly the same way it would be if we were talking about and actual absentee landlord. If you own it, you are, by definition, responsible for it either directly, through your own actions or indirectly through negligence and one is absolutely no better than the other.
I mean, think about that. Romney’s BEST case here is that he exerted no control over a company in which he repeatedly claimed, in official filings, to have absolute control. Sole owner, Chairman of the Board, President, CEO and Managing Director.”

Roger Simon: The Democratic Party is racist.
Cynical Wodner: But, but, but…. BAIN!
Sigh.
Also, a helpful hint: relying on Andrew Sullivan for an understanding of business is like relying on me for an understanding of the Higgs boson. Do it at your peril.
Cynical Wonder: The Republican party has quite possibly nominated a felon (A false SEC filing is a serious offense).
Roger Simon: But, but, but…. RACE!
Sigh.
Liar. In the America I’m from that constitutes a deadly insult. I’m in Albuquerque if you’d care to discuss.
Hey, snakesareslimy, It must really suck to be a Romney supporter, now. This stuff isn’t going away. There’s a Pulitzer in it now for investigative journalism. We will have answers soon enough and I’m guessing that you won’t like them.
Taking your rational, Eric Holder is just as guilty in Fast & Furious
There was nothing false about Romneys SEC filing. He was still the head of the conmpany, but had delegated the details of running much of it to lower ranking people while he ran the Olympics. There is nothing in the SEC regs that says a CEO can’t delegate, provided as CEO he ratains ultimate reponsibility. How many totally untrue Bain charges will the dems come up with. They continue to throw out bogus Bain charges, while Holder and Obama stonewall on REAL charges with F&F.
The guy said he wasn’t running the company when the “outsourcing” took place, then some guy digs up the records and (SHOCK/GASP) his name shows he owned the company at that time,then you people call him a felon. It’s obvious that no matter what you guys are saying,he WAS NOT RUNNING the company at that time. At least 3 independent news agencies and fact-checkers have confirmed it. TWO sources close to Obama have confirmed it. When he told the American people he was not running the company,he did not lie. You have distorted it INTO a lie by an absolute literal reading of the idea of ownership that you would NEVER apply to one of your own guys or anything else that was not a republican presidential candidate for that matter. If someone calls you and tells you they will be stopping by your house “around 7″ you do not show them the door and call them a liar when they show up at 7:45. It is close enough. As much as I dislike the idea of having Romney for president,he did not lie to the American people,or do it under oath like Clinton (a president who I mostly liked)and I can’t remember a single democrat I knew at that time calling for Clinton’s impeachment when it was PROVEN that he lied under oath.
The “felony” claims you people are making are ridiculous and reek of desperation. If I were you,I would be EMBARRASSED to regurgitate this claim in public.
Besides all that, let’s assume for a moment that it is beyond question that Romney IS a felon of the white collar variety. SO WHAT? Obama was MENTORED by a socialist who blew up buildings trying to overthrow our way of life. This is an established and completely uncontroversial fact. Knowing of Bill Ayers’ actions and proclivities and not reporting any crimes which he undoubtedly discussed with Obama is a FELONY conspiracy charge under the RICO act. He also admitted multiple times to “trying drugs enthusiastically”. Knowing an individual was committing a crime (like distributing illegal drugs),even a misdemeanor, and not informing the police is also a FELONY conspiracy charge under the same act. If Romney can be declared a felon without being convicted in a court of law of a felony crime,then so can OBAMA.
There is no bar against a sitting President being guilty of having committed a felony,only against having been CONVICTED of a felony in a court of law. Romney has never been convicted of a felony, and fortunately for your side, neither has Obama.
Just as everything is still Romneys fault at Bain (LOL) as is everything that is wrong with government is George Bush’s fault. Will democrats ever take responsibility for their actions?
Mitt Romney isn’t waving anymore. He’s drowning.

Cynical Wonder, how many times do I have tell you – stay on topic. Your comments seem canned “copy & paste” jobs that you are placing on multiple blogs. Lazy. I expect better for my money. Furthermore, all this boilerplate about Bain Capital. You sound as if you’re talking about… me. (If you want to stay employed, wise up.)
Typical. I see this as the new drum beat of the left. In this myth either the left is correct or it is not, and this case it is not.
You can be an owner and not manager the company. I own stocks by way of mutual funds. Do you think I am fully responsible? Can you possibly fathom my point here?
Now that Obama’s campaign is spinning the idiosyncrasies of Romney’s life to put him in a bad light, I can do the same. Obama entered Columbia illegally under a foreign student visa either to save money or to better secure acceptance. Romney has a timeline available that I can prove you wrong with, what can you say to me?
“You can be an owner and not manager the company. I own stocks by way of mutual funds. Do you think I am fully responsible? Can you possibly fathom my point here?”
Since you can’t tell the difference between mutual funds (investments) and the responsibilities of a CEO, you don’t seem to have a point.
Of course, Mittens can clear all this up by releasing his tax returns. Why is it that Romney willingly provided the McCain campaign with 20 years of tax returns when they were vetting him for the VP slot, but he thinks he only owes the American people 1 or 2 years returns while we’re vetting him to be President? Why were those tax returns relevant when he wanted to be VP, but off the table now that he wants to be President?
The only thing we hear from Mittens is, “I did not have fiduciary relations with that company.” The digging will continue to hound him. I wouldn’t be surprised at some Wikileaks popping up sometime inconvenient for Willard.
Because Andrew Sullivan and TPM are unbiased sources on this issue. Yeah, right.
Have you considered changing your username to Kool-Aid-Drinking Wonder?
Fortunately most voters don’t pay anywhere near this much attention to the news or the campaigns. A lot of them are just tired of Obozo and hopefully their numbers will grow. Which only leaves Mittens to vote for, whatever they think of him.
Why don’t you try checking your facts before you open your mouth. Mitt Romney was not at Bain when jobs were outsourced. If you want to talk about outsourcing , how about Dear Leader’s lending money to Brazil to drill oil, while stopping all drilling in this country which would have provided jobs for Americans.
Obama’s the biggest liar of them all and has morons like you and the media believing every word he says.
“Leave of absence.” An intellectual web of deceit, lies and trickery to goofy liberals. Did Obama take a leave of absence to become President of Arabia while the Chinese gov’t builds our bridges as noted elsewhere here at PJM? THAT’S outsourcing.
Saying that Romney’s campaign is imploding are ludicrous.
“It was his company. He is responsible for it. Whether he was personally in the room for every deal signed is a completely beside the point. It is beside the point in exactly the same way it would be if we were talking about and actual absentee landlord. If you own it, you are, by definition, responsible for it either directly, through your own actions or indirectly through negligence and one is absolutely no better than the other.”
You can say EXACTLY the same thing about Obama, and it relates not to those who may have been hurt by Bain, but to every American. Which is why using this on Romney won’t work.
Cynical Wonder — using the logic of Sullivan and Wilson, we would have to say, then, that President Barry was personally responsible for giving weapons to Mexican criminals.
Andrew Sullivan views the entire world through the lens of his homosexuality. His opinions on anything are worthless.
frgough views the entire world through the lens of his heterosexuality. His opinions on anything are worthless … and bigoted.
It’s called a frickin’ leave of absence. Those morons reduce it to pedantry and technicalities, a conspiracy and pretend there was no Olympics.
Romney either lied to the SEC or he has been lying to the American people. One is a felony and the other is immoral. We have his signature on SEC documents after 1999. You guys are the morons who try to reduce it to pedantry and technicalities (i.e. leave of absence). This is only going to get worse. Whatever message Romney might have will not get through until this gets cleared up. Bad news …
@Cynical Wonder
It’s a wonder that you haven’t retracted these posts of yours given that the info on Romney’s time at Bain has been proven false. Even MSM publications have outright distanced themselves from or issued rebukes (after doing a little fact checking on their own) about the story in the Boston Globe.
It didn’t work in the 2004 elections and all but the most recalcitrant of folks on the left will admit that was a horrific mess. Desperation does things to people, departures from reality and rational thought chief among them.
If Cynical Wonder is typical of the Obama campaign, and therefore typical of Obama, is it any wonder many people no longer beleive a single thing he says. Romneys SEC filing was totally truthful. You can still legally be CEO in name, but delegate day to day running of the company to others while you take leave to do something else, like running the Olympics.
I do think Romney should release about 2 more years of taxes, but he should make it conditional on Obama releasing his academic and medical records, which Romney has already released.
There has NEVER been an administration in the history of this country that LIES like the Obama administration. NEVER!!! Your attack on Romney illustrates one thing and one thing only, you are a mindless DRONE! People like you disgust me, but thanks to slugs like you we now have a Tea Party that is changing the game and you losers will be won’t have an audience for your hatred and racism.
Slavery
Jim Crow Laws
The Klu Klux Clan
Progressive politics (aka Socialist/Comunist stealth politics)
Passage of Civil rights laws that specifically target blacks only (which was not the intention of the legislation as it was written)
Jesse Jackson
Al Sharpton
The Black Panthers and New Black Panther Party
Barack Obama (Soetoro, Harrison J. Bounel, etc…whatever his identity is)
Yea, the Democratic party has a lot to be proud of. But please, don’t let me get in the way of your amusing exercise in transference.
Common humanity must include Human Nature. Making every one of the Enlightenment philosophers fools and liars, Human Nature is innate and immutable. Man is a social animal. Human society (and all animal societies) are dominance hierarchies. Dominance is the prototypical zero-sum game — you’re on top, or on the bottom — period. The USA today is a multi-social geo-political entity. Today American society co-exists with African-American society, Mexican society, various Asian societies, whatever… Only one of these societies can dominate the USA. Afro-Americans are vying with Hispanics to fill the vacuum created by the collapse of American (white, NW European) social dominance. As a white person, I see this second-class citizenship for my people well advanced already. Nobody thinks twice about job vacancies being announced as “minorities/women only” in the Fed Govt. White-on-black crimes are “hate crimes” until (maybe) the white is proven completely innocent. Black-on-white crimes (10 times more common) are never “hate crimes”, by definition (whites are second-class citizens, with no rights assertable against minorities). What the hell difference would it make if George Zimmerman was the Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan? Did he act in self-defense or not? Under old white concepts of jurisprudence, if he can present believable evidence that he was being beaten by little Trayvon (who looks like O’bwana’s unborn son), he is justified under FL law to use deadly force to save his life. Under O’bwana-law, he must prove beyond any possible doubt (of black people) that he didn’t even notice Trayvon was black. Because white people have no right to knowingly use force to protect themselves against attack by first-class citizens such as African-Americans.
Much of what you say is true, but the answer to the problem is found in the Federalist Papers, in particular Federalist 10 by Madison where he talks about political factions (today’s parlance, political parties, special interests). He discusses how they, when in power, oppress their opposition and he uses this argument to advance the concept of limited government. Limit their power and you limit their ability to oppress other groups of people, as is actually happening today.
That Holder of Contempt should be ashamed of the corruption on steroids with which he’s been the attorney general of the United States. That Obama has done the same running the Presidency with the skill of a Chicago Thug, they both should be disgraced and run out of town, ashamed of themselves as people can be. But, let’s face it, they’re not Americans. At least not at heart. I don’t know what they are.
Racist? Yes. They overflow with racism, even with their big Champagne glasses. Marxist. Probably. Intent on destroying American? In my book, for sure. In Roger Simon’s book, I don’t know.
They attack Romney willy nilly with concern for the truth of their attacks that’s negligible
Caught in one Bain line after another, but not by the mainstream media, by the new media. The new media have become the fact checkers for the mainstream Obama-water-carrying old time media. This is not the way it should be.
Obama has changed politics. He’s changed the President. Contemptuous, continuous lies; intentional or uncaring untruths. Not just the most bigoted President in history; this lying King. One irony 5% of the nation are ready to vote for the scallawag again. Or so it seems.
Mitt, it’s time. Gloves off. Attack. Attack Attack. On all fronts. You have clueless creative people working for you. It’s time to give them marching orders. Attack indiscriminately. Every target of opportunity. Don’t care if it’s on strategy, Mitt, because your crank amateurs don’t know what a strategy is. You hired your friends. Now your job is to try to win with rank amateurs who only know politics. Not marketing. And you’re not smart enough to know the difference.
Romney for President. More like Mitt McCain for President. One’s barely better than the other. Mitt.
But there’s more for the Republican Party to take the fall for. They’re clueless too.
One thing I’m sure of, Mitt. If you screw this election up, the consequences are biblical. The threat of mushroom clouds far as the eye can see.
I hope you understand but I am going to steal much of your post. Great stuff.
Typo. I meant 50% ready to vote for Obama again. Not 5%. Sorry.
This is different from my writing above. It’s designed to correct a typo. Please let it go through.
I meant 50% ready to vote for Obama again. Not 5%. Sorry.
“That the minorities being exploited suffer most of all is almost a cliche.” Exploited? The suffering is self-inflicted as these “minorities” freely choose to elect, re-elect and follow these hustlers. Stop excusing them for their poor choices and bad decisions; that’s just another form of bigotry masquerading as “compassion.”
It’s a bit more complicated than that. When you’ve been lied to your entire life, made completely dependant on another for what you think, it’s hard to break free of that. Liberals have done a very good job of getting blacks back on the plantation. Only this time, as willing serfs instead of slaves.
At the risk of being labeled a ‘racist’, I submit that the black voter’s problem and adherence to Democratic party dictates is nothing more than tribal. There is no thinking, there is no research, there is no investigation, etc. There is nothing but listening to uninformed neighbors, friends, family, the local AME or Baptist preacher for the direction to take – to hell with common sense and/or evaluation of the problem and solution(s), buy another pair of $400.00 sneakers and do what the rest of the tribe tells you to do!
Does that statement make me a racist? No it does not! I am telling it like it is and if you are white and have any black friends (which I do),they will tell you that to not follow the tribe’s dictates will leave you out in the cold, ostracized and denigrated as ‘whitey’, ‘Oreo’, etc. or worse. It is not easy being a black person with a mind of their own!
Roger, this has to be the most insightful, non-blinkered article I have read concerning the current state of racial matters in America.
Quite recently, James Taranto, writing in the Wall Street Journal on the emotion charged subject of abortion, referred to the left’s unwillingness to discuss controversial subjects in a fashion outside their own highly controlled framing of said subjects. Taranto noted, “One forbids oneself from thinking certain thoughts, from acknowledging uncertain realities. But sometimes reality forces its way through, producing cognitive dissonance.” Taranto noted that this self induced cognitive dissonance resulted from what he called “willed ignorance”.
Obviously, both you and James Taranto are exercising critical thinking unobstructed by the thought limiting boundaries of political correctness. For freedom’s sake, let’s hope men and women of good will continue to think and write beyond those narrow limits.
Very well said, Roger.
The Democratic Party is the party of Racism.
It’s just the plain truth.
They should be called out on it in every, single manifestation of it — and forced to wear the “real” banner they themselves are waving.
Instead of the weak defensive response of “Oh, no, we’re not racists … honest, we’re not” … Instead … Each and every time the answer to the slander ought to be, “No, it’s YOU who are Racist!” (Because it’s the truth!)
What a pity and great disappointment it is to those of us who fought for the Civil Rights movement of the 50′s and 60′s, who had such high hopes for a future of true integration and equality — that it’s come to this instead.
Conservatives often refer to Obama, and the entire “progressive” movement, as being Marxist-influenced, and indeed this is true. But there is at least as much Fascism as Marxism in their makeup, as indicated by the obsessive focus on race, the nominally-private-but-government-dominated model of economics, and the weird forms of mysticism popular among the believers.
This comment is spot-on. Fascism was a variant form of socialism that emphasized national identity rather than class identity as the key factor in historical development, but all forms of socialism require working people to be slaves to an all-powerful governing elite. That 96% of blacks voted for Obama is simply another indication that racialism works for Democrats, since blacks vote for that party regardless of differences in class, income, education, gender, sexual orientation, geography or any other possibly relevant variant.
In fact, Obama has said that he favors a corporatist (fascist) form of government. See chapter 6 of Ed Klein’s new book “The Amateur”.
What a pity. Obama might have moved this country forward, but failed. In fact he’s set back race relations a generation or two. Racism fatigue is setting in. Sharpton, Jackson et al are widely viewed as clowns, or more accurately, race hustlers looking for a payoff. The NAACP has been transformed into a business, one that is primarily concerned with promoting its own survival by constantly refighting battles that ended years ago. The real challenge facing the black community in America is unfolding in Chicago, the showcase of black on black self destruction. Where are the black leaders decrying this putative genocide? Why isn’t Sharpton marching up Michigan Avenue demanding change?
Why has the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the radical left intelligensia pretended that there is no problem, except for whitey? Their willful blindness and self delusion will destroy the progress that has been achieved. Bill Cosby once pointed out the reality that much of the dysfunction in the black community was self induced, and was immediately attacked by the grand muckymucks running the race industry. Too bad.
The NAACP was created by white republicans (I learned this yesterday) to help black people, who had real issues of discrimination, vote.
Today the NAACP had been taken over my militant democrat black people for the sole purpose of keeping black from voting FOR republicans. That is their only purpose.
Lolly wrote: “Today the NAACP had been taken over by militant democrat black people for the sole purpose of keeping black from voting FOR republicans. That is their only purpose.”
But… but… that was the reason why the Ku Klux Klan was established, to keep blacks from voting for Republicans!
Nice try. Learn your history. Ops, you probably were taught in a public school.
The KKK was the militant arm of the democrat party – the white arm. The NAACP is the black overseers keeping the slaves in line on the plantation – the black arm. Same purpose – two arms.
Chicago is the next Detroit. It’ll go down hard because it’s such a famous city and loved by many but it can’t survive the crime and brutality being institutionalized in its midst in the long run.
“The proletariat (Blacks or any other minority group) will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie (White middle class), to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state (Marxist Federal Government)… Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property… You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the (White) middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.” Karl Marx

Poor Roger you’re stuck supporting the outright practice of racism by many conservatives. Even stalwarts such as Ron and Rand Paul would not have voted for the Civil Rights legislation and even today all your conservatives are trying to implement voter suppression which target minorities. Your problem is that your conservatives actually practice racism on such a large scale and target the poor and minorities to trickle down on
There is a good libertarian argument against the mind control aspects of civil rights laws. Murder or assault is a crime. Adding the extra punishment of “Hate” is mind control.
Voter ID is an idea whose time has come. Deal with it.
Don’t feed the troll. An obvious plant.!
True. BostonLib wants us to forget that it was the Republicans who fought so hard for civil rights, and the Democrats who fought so hard against it. Forgetting (or ignoring) facts is a trademark of the libs. The Democrat Party is the party of racist’s. Period. Their entire history is replete with examples.
Yes, don’t forget that Albert Gore Sr. was party to the filibuster of the Civil Rights act.
and a stupid one at that.
If you want to argue that requiring ID for voting suppresses minority turnout, then you’re arguing that minorities are by their very nature less able to go get ID on their own, which makes YOU the racist.
Yes, because you liberals think blacks and other minorities are too retarded to get an i.d. card but you’ll give them an EBT card for booze and cigs. Wait? How do they buy booze and cigs without an I.D.? How do they even get on Welfare without an I.D.? Oh the logic of the Left. ha-ha-ha
“voter suppression” yeah I’m for it! suppress voting for dead people (53,000 found in my state alone) and non citizens voting, absentee ballots from fictitious names, 300 voters registered to a vacant lot, cajoling insane and Alzheimer’s patients to sign ballots, busing indigents tot the polls in exchange for bribes etc.
Sorry Boston Lib no more voter fraud for your party- win fairly but don’t whine about people making sure the votes are from real live citizens
The left is always attacking Rep Allen West. Maybe they don’t like the idea that he thinks for himself instead of following what they think Black people should think. That’s racism to me
“all your conservatives are trying to implement voter suppression which target minorities blah blah blah”
Tell me something: if you libs are supposed to be the smart ones, then how come you believe so many stupid things?
Hi Rog’,
The Democrat Party is the party of factional payola: it is comprised of factions who are united to attain power and reap rewards such as loans, direct transfer of funds, contract set asides, special legislation for special treatment, pay increases, and patronage.
All of their ideology is meant to accomplish is attaining power and keeping their factions united.
They have NO principles. Redistribution really means taking from the enemy and giving to the factions in the party.
They shift easily between saying that certain things in the Constitution and certain decisions are written in stone and others can be easily changed because the Constitution is a “living document”. All that matters is that the result serves their party and its factions.
This is why they shift easily between defending Fluke from attacks and mercilessly attacking Palin with vile curses.
This is why they can attack Bush’s deficits and praise Obama’s.
This is why they hate small amounts of federal monies going to “Big Oil” – in the form of tax breaks – and LOVE the loans to BIG ALTERNATIVE ENERGY COMPANIES, which happen to be run by people in their party.
It’s all about supporting things that help their factions and never about principles or values.
The postmodern left controls the Democrat Party and they are moral relativists who hate – not just America – but Western Civilization:
They falsely blame Western Civilization – or Judeo-Christian Civilization, if you prefer – for sexual repression, global climate change, Third World poverty, and most of history’s genocide. ALL ARE DEMONSTRABLY FALSE.
But painting the West as the bogeyman – and America as the Bogeyman in Chief – allows them to attack anything and everything in their way: the family; traditional religion; industry and industriousness; and PERSONAL LIBERTY.
If we really want to eliminate poverty and ignorance in the world, then we have to eliminate the postmodern left. And that means eliminating the stranglehold the left has on media, and on education via faculties.
And by making our federal government what our Founders intended: small and limited.
Actually; limited government is the KEY:
If the federal government is small, then it cannot be made to serve the factional needs of the Democrat Party.
All progress will flow from this.
We can make the federal government smaller by electing more conservatives.
And then we need to eradicate PEU’s – which are, along with trial lawyers – the richest faction in the Democrat Machine, and who – along with trial lawyers – do the most to pervert our government and way of life.
Once we roll back the PEU’s, then we need to enact sweeping tort reform, thus demolishing the other rich faction of the Democrats, the trial lawyers.
REPEAT:
1 – ROLLING BACK PEU POWER
2 – TORT REFORM
Key tactics must include tough Voter ID laws, expanding right-to-work laws, and expanding pension reforms – as Walker and Kasich have done.
These will enable us to get more electoral victories by eliminating voter fraud and reducing PEU electoral power, which is enormous as they have spent billions over the last decade to elect Democrats.
Along with dismantling all of the progressive transgressions against our Constitution, such as, repealing the 16th and 17th amendments.
Hell, why stop there. Everything from the the 11th ammendment (the 1st hatchet job following the Bill of Rights) to the last ammendment needs to go. Except the maybe the ammendment to impose term limits on the President (which was erroneous ommitted from the original Constitution.
“And then we need to eradicate PEU’s…”
Too bad you couldn’t be bothered to explain what a PEU is. I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that acronym. I’ve never seen it before in my life. Since it is a linchpin of your remarks and you haven’t defined or explained it, virtually the whole of your remarks are completely lost on me – and very likely many other readers.
Presumably PEU stands for public employee union.
don’t blame others for your ignorance
Oh, come on. Communication is a two-way street. Writers have some obligation to clarify. There is nothing wrong with readers asking for clarification, especially when arcane acronyms are used.
I had no idea what a PEU is and I’ve been following this stuff for 30 years. No need to be so snarky Dan some acronyms are not as well known as others. The racial relations SNAFU created by the dems is SOP for those HUA jerks. One thing you can take to the bank is if Obama is re-elected it’ll be BOHICA for the next 4 years.
Public employee union. Learn it. Don’t ever forget it. It’s critical.
Thanks for the perfect description of liberal (sorry, leftist) consciousness. They have entrenched themselves in their commitment to fight against true principles, blinded by ignorance and stubbornness.
Thank you for writing this. No one has been more supportive of my research and writing than minority families desperate to understand why they get so little from education in this country. The saddest thing is to tell them much of it is deliberate. To actually foster dependence. Southern slaveowners are not the only ones determined to prevent the mind-opening transformational impacts of fluent print literacy. Or a deep respect for the uniqueness of Western civilization where our belief in liberty and the individual made slavery so repugnant we stopped it.
It is almost physically painful to track down yet another terrible education idea, discover the total lack of research support, get the recognition it is just a political theory looking for a place to be practiced, and then see it be advocated by various organized minority groups. Minorities themselves would be horrified by the policies and practices pushed on their behalf.
Most real people of any race, gender, or ethnicity have no use for this mentality that no one will get ahead unless everyone gets the same basic level of success. A government administered Line of Plenty.
Marxist class struggle (proletariat class vs middle class) can manifest its self in economic terms (those with less vs those with more – even under free enterprise where such differences are natural and not engineered by the force of government) or race (Black vs White) or sexuality (homosexual vs heterosexual). The only requirement for Marxist class struggle is the existence of any natural inequality. Marxist class struggle of any kind is unnatural an immoral, because some of our human inequalities are natural and good (and not to be construed as an indication of unequal human value), and flies directly in the face of our Declaration of Independence and 14th amendment.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Whites should take a new direction regarding race. Just ignore race. This means:
No more blogging.
No more visits to anything black.
No more buying black entertainment (movies, radio, music, books, articles, etc.)
No more donating to black charities.
No more reporting black crime (sorry, already doing that).
No more worrying about black education.
No more trying to figure out what “the black experience” is all about.
No more caring about “racism”.
No more .
Oh, and no more following that Zimmerman lynching.
If someone wants to talk black quote Nancy Reagan “Just say no”.
If they insist, say “Hell no”.
If they call you a racist, “Say. So what?”
But do express your sympathy. Like the police do when they tell you your relative, killed or maimed by an illegal alien driver but instead of saying “I’m sorry for your loss” say “I’m sorry you have problems you need to solve. As for me, I’ve Moved.On”.
I’ll bet you’re a liberal. I can tell by how irrational your post is.
You begin by advising “Just ignore race.”
Every suggestion in your post after that involves evaluating race explicitly, and acting in response to it — which is the opposite of ignoring race.
If one is ignoring race, one does not care what color is the entertainer, what color is the person receiving charity (how can a charity have a color?,) what color is the criminal, etc.
Somehow, in your mind, “ignoring race” became “ignoring blacks and everything they do.” That’s… insane.
Try again, only this time, don’t contradict yourself at the core of your argument.
Wells said, and in a short space. I think of this problem with the assumption all people are basically the same, separated only to the extent they assume a role in a variety of sub-sets of cultures and then adopt those values.
Given that, I often wonder how perfectly decent Germans at one time went mad as a culture. What happened in terms of mainstreaming that madness? Of course racism will be seen as more acceptable when the very institutions of a culture cozen it. Call racism something else, say it’s being done in defense and a culture can be destroyed. Children can be raised as racists.
Here’s part of the problem: we all like to assume we would’ve been on the right side of every event in history had we been alive at the time but plainly that’s not true. Right and wrong are often the sea we swim in and not an absolute set of values while others at that exact same time with fundamental principles fairly and evenly applied will brush aside the cobwebs of a thing being mainstreamed and accepted and see it for what it is.
When you mention racism as you understood it in the ’60s, this is a principle adhered to and applied, regardless of the source – not a weather vane, not a moving goal post that is the pure heart of political correctness. One must possess classic tools of self-criticism to see through the fog.
Perhaps 2,000 years ago at Alexandria, Plotinus wrote “To any vision must be brought an eye adapted to what is to be seen”
A half century ago Frank Herbert echoed this: “Be prepared to appreciate what you meet.”
My own saying is simple: good stuff is where you find it, not where you expect to, or want to find it.
Lacking those tools, our society now cozens racist groups such as the Asian, Hispanic and Black tri-caucus in Congress, with vile people like Frederica Wilson and Sheila Jackson Lee. Tim Wise, Michelle Alexander and head of the Science Fiction Writer’s of America John Scalzi lecture us about “white privilege” and New Jim Crow. Racism is firmly in the mainstream.
Applying classic principles, such arguments are the same as the old arguments: detaching and attaching morality accord to ethnicity – done in Nazi Germany, done with Plessy vs. Ferguson, done by the political black Left and the Dem Party 5 days a week in America today.
So, we say: where were the men to call out Hitler and where were the men to call out Hussein? They were there, but not enough, and they were overwhelmed.
The Congressional Black Caucus should be called on to disband, and very publicly, as well as the other 2 caucuses – to not do so will only lead to a Tower of Babel in America where every vote is by skin and without regard to the greater good. This is not the culture of America but of the Third World and why I am against immigration from the Third World, though I have loved the 7 1/2 years spent there in 15 countries. Nice place to visit – wouldn’t want to live there in terms of larger political thought. They do not and will not make good Americans in large numbers. There are no Federalist Papers being written in the Third World even well over 200 years after the fact but Constitutions like in Egypt where sharia is the main source of law.
This is a start Mr. Simon. Let’s drag principles into the mainstream – let’s force our opponents to adopt one set of values and then argue those, not have racists like Roland Martin, Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris-Perry and others sit on mainstream American TV without a word from Chris Hayes, Ed Schultz or Soledad O’Brien. If we win they will be seen to be the Leni Riefenstahl’s of their generation.
It is very clear there is a double standard. This Spring, The Root, owned by the WaPo and run by Henry Gates, Obama’s personal friend, ran an article titled: “Black Professionals: We’ve Got Obama’s Back.” Were such a thing run on a conservative site, written by Ann Coulter, we all know what would happen. Those articles at The Root and the entirety of the black press on the political Left are insanely common and with the same drum beat: black people are good, white people are not. Watch the Shirley Sherrod video and stand amazed at the supremacist notions of their innate morality blacks possess compared to whites.
The NCAAP, with once noble goals, is chasing phantoms in 2012; Hallmark Graduation Cards that say “black ho’” took a half dozen members of the L.A. Chapter of the NAACP and a press conference to ferret out on the delusional idea Hallmark did it on purpose. Saying Romney purposefully elicited boos to appeal to his Stormfront base is equally insane.
There must be a call to defund Fed. monies from the NAACP and La Raza, the latter the recipient of some 14 million dollars in Fed. funds if I remember correctly. That’s like giving Stormfront money, and make no mistake, that is exactly what La Raza is, despite Latino celebrities and the sponsorship of scores of American companies. They sponsor because they are playing the politically correct game, the same one Nazis did because that’s where the money, acceptance and power was.
The black Left and their sad “black culture” websites that are nothing more than hate speech-lite sites are filled to the brim with black celebrities and they make no secret of their feelings – from Chris Rock, to Jay-Z, to Don Cheadle to Morgan Freeman to Samuel Jackson they are coming out of the woodwork to present a distressingly similar face to America and this is backed by the Dem Party 100%.
There is no danger or a Nazi-like takeover, but destroying America in detail by wrecking the source of exceptionalism political correctness denies will give you Detroit, not air-conditioned domes inhabited by erudite Somalis and Mayan Indians. Good stuff is where you find it, not where you want it to be. The Jews, hideously outnumbered in the middle east, didn’t create a country because they were the same as their opponents, but because it was Cortes and the Aztecs all over again in terms of competence. PC will spin it in the complete opposite direction and that is exactly what the Left does with the now seen as helpless and innocent native American analogues the PA are presented by the U.N. to us as.
No culture in the history of the world has ever achieved success by using blame and excuses but this is the fundamental heart of the Dem platform in America today. Every move the Dem Party’s opponents make is “racism” and yet the last racial mainstream institutions in America today exclusively occupy the political Left. Despite there caterwauling, there is no white assoc. of mathematicians or science-fiction writers, not one. But there are literally hundreds with a race in the title on the Left. Enough.
Bravo.

looking forward to this site getting the thumbs up options
What do you mean ‘forced’? That was a conscious choice they made years ago! They’re the party of interest group politics.
Slightly off topic but:
I’ve heard a number of people say that it was offensive when Romney called PPACA Obamacare during his NAACP speech.
I have not heard anyone repeating that talking why it would be offensive unless that person thinks that Obamacare is a steaming pile of s–t. The same people that claim to be offended by the name also claim that it is the greatest legal changes since the 60s.
So why be offended by linking it to Obama.
In addition, Pres. Obama said himself that he liked the word Obamacare, as he does care. I also heard he is offering a bumper sticker for $5.00 with Obamacare on the sticker. dare I say hypocritical?
Many blacks today still carry a large chip on their shoulders with a sign “victimisation” on it. For generations now the Democratic party has portrayed blacks as the ultimate victims, always being “oppressed” and always being discriminated against. Even though a country with a majority of whites in it elected a BLACK president, that’s not good enough for the race baiters at the NAACP. Nope, to people like that, America will always be a country of racists, and because blacks are victims the government has to forever “take care” of them. How so? Well by giving them billions of dollars of social-welfare aid whether they need it or not. Think about the trillions of dollars that has been pumped into the black community since the start of the “Great Society” in 1965. Trillions of dollars have been spent on black welfare, education, housing, food stamps, unemployment benefits, and God only knows how many other government programs, yet they are still “victims.” I’d like to really know when the statute of limitatons runs out on liberal white guilt after the Civil War? Is it 200 years, or 300 years? How many more trillions of dollars need to be handed to blacks and other minorities just because they are who they are?
Funny, but I never see South Koreans, Chinese, or other Asian immigrants in this country either rioting or demanding that they get trillions in government aid. Why is that? After all, they are minorities too, just like Hispanics or blacks, yet they seem to thrive on independence and the desire to better themselves through higher education. They don’t expect the Federal Government to hand them anything. They also believe in a strong family unit, something that is sorely lacking in the black community. So why are Asians different than blacks or hispanics? Maybe it’s because they’ve decided that THEY are the only ones who can really help themselves, NOT the government.
What is ironic is that the very things that the NAACP wants today (even more money and benefits from the government) are the very things that will keep them dependent on government handouts and charity. In short, the NAACP sees nothing wrong in staying on the government plantation so long as somebody else is paying for it. Aside from the fact that this philosophy is destroying their community, it kills personal initiative and a desire for upward mobility. After all, if you really think it’s the government’s role in life to give you everything you need, where is the incentive to work on your own for anything? So long as blacks, especially those in the NAACP, want to keep playing the role of the “victim” in life, they’re never going to amount to anything. True progress begins with the individual and his or her desire for a better life, one that they achieve on their own and NOT through the charity of others. That is the mark of true independence and success.
Thanks for the excellent post.
The other elephant in the room is spirituality.
Once people decide to look to a higher power, and couple that with genuine respect for EVERYONE (not just their immediate circle or self-identified group) its telling how their efforts to progress bear fruit. Successful individuals don’t waste (or don’t have) time to complain about the obstacles in their lives (or their societies). They channel and apply themselves in a positive and productive manner. By successful, I do not mean material prosperity; I speak of a principled, effective life and fulfilling one’s role, such as a mother who stayed home to raise 5 children. Some might even view a woman who made such sacrifice with scorn nowadays. This is what happened to some extent in the case of Anne Romney. People would discount her efforts in life because she had it “easy”.
Most Blacks also ignore, totally, the history of the Democratic Party with racism. They were the original segregationists. Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, installed “separate but equal” and the rest of segregation in the District of Columbia. Blacks were segregated in all branches of the U.S. military until 1948. Black officers were few and far between prior to 1945, and were not allowed to command white troops during WWII. LBJ, lauded and worshiped by Blacks for the Civil Rights Act of 1965, never, as Senate Majority Leader, allowed a civil rights law to pass during his tenure that had Federal enforcement powers. He thought Brown vs Board of Education was an abomination. Read Robert Caro’s autobiography of LBJ if you don’t believe me.
So, it would appear that the racist streak in the Democratic Party continues. This time it has changed to anti-white racism.
Roger, I’m a bit older than you, so I also was around while you were a “sixties civil rights worker” for the racist LBJ’s Demogoguic Party. There was a huge undercurrent of Liberal white racism in that movement whose purpose was to drive southerners up the wall so that the idiots among them would act panicky and outrageously. That strategy worked, but it depended upon northern Liberals’ racist stereotypes about southerners both black and white.
Not surprising it worked. The Dems had experience. The Democratic Party was the party of Segregation and Jim Crow in the South, and of immigrant vote-buying on the docks of the northern port cities. They haven’t changed. I’m glad to see you have, though, and you no longer carry water for the real racists.
In the words of that great black orator, the Reverend Al,”Resist we much, we ,much resist,much”.,that pretty much says it all.
The more minorities are “helped,” the worse their lives become, the less equal we are.
Ironic, of course, but democrats don’t care about the people and things they so vehemently purport to care about.
The identity groups are Useful Vehicles, so to speak. The truth is inversely proportional to the vehemence, which is why anyone cast into any of the democrats’ convenient identity groups should smell the writing on the wall.
The Democratic Party is then the true racist party, trapped in nostalgia for a time when genuine racism — Jim Crow, etc. — stalked the land.
I don’t think it’s nostalgia. The democrat party relies on the conflict meme.
They have to assume significant white racism still exists because not to do so threatens the fabric of their being.
Without ongoing class/racial/gender etc. warfare, they got nuttin’.
Keeping alive the notion all these “unfair and unequal” differences between people and among groups of people is the democrat party lifeblood.
True enough, Roger.
Leftism is based upon an Inversion Narrative. “Leftists are tolerant, non-leftists are racists” is one of the leading inversions.
Leftist and their lemmings are the least tolerant folks in the country…and the ONLY ones who can openly get away with intolerance.
We have been so conditioned to bow, scrape, genuflect to the “lords of racism”, we apologize for being honest, apologize and hem and haw when a racist is being a jerk to white, Christian, Southern, heterosexual males.
Even as you started this essay, you had to announce your bona fides as a non-racist. It is as if anyone who doesn’t possess a Silver Streak in their resume is denied the right to hold the same opinion, see the same hypocrisy, become witness to the same inversion narrative.
I’m not picking on you by pointing this out. I think the world of you. But we are conditioned to apologize in advance for merely witnessing horrific behavior and daring to expose it when it contains “reverse racism”, an idiotic phrase if there ever was one.
Leftism is the carrier of the disease of racism in America. One other thing you said in this essay…that “whites” (or “white Hispanics”, whatever that is) are not “oppressed” by blacks or leftists, is so far from true in post-modern America that the statement is demonstrably false on its face.
Non-leftists are oppressed every single day. Conservatives are oppressed, white males are oppressed, Judeo-Christian faith-based people are oppressed, and not by “disparate impact” or some wild stretch or legal gymnastics.
Anywhere where leftists are in charge, hold enormous sway, and most especially anywhere where black leftsts are in charge, a white, Conservative, Judeo-Christian male stands very little chance at equitable treatment, due process, a fair shake or an even playing field. What is that if it is not racism?
Name a department of government, a courtroom, a prosecutorial office, a Hollyood, academia, or mass news outlet enterprise where that statement is not true. Name a voting booth or election process where that is not true.
I don’t mean this rhetorically. I mean actually go through the exercise of trying to find the exception. Wherever there is a leftist in charge and especially where black leftists are in charge, “payback” predominates. But “payback” for what? Against whom? To what end?
It is simply open, naked and despicable racism for no other reason than because they can. That…is oppression for a political reason and an inversion narrative reason. Oppression abounds. We are just conditioned to deny it.
It is simply open, naked and despicable racism for no other reason than because they can.
The dirty little secret that no one wants to acknowledge.
A very unenlightened & dull-headed use and abuse of power.
The New Black Panthers “let’s kill us some white cracker babies” can be out front with it.
All those unheeded warnings from the Jim Crow Segregationists coming true.
They told you so.
It will take some doing to put the enemies of European Christendom back in their place…but Western Civilization is worth it.
Why did Tawana Brawley have to be telling the truth?
Why did Jena have to be an attack on black students?
Why did the Duke lacrosse case turn into a reverse Scottsboro?
Why does George Zimmerman have to be guilty (and all the shootings in Chicago ignored)?
Because all these affirmed the “mythologies” of racial identity and victimhood.
If the above were NOT true, then what happens to the mythologies, and how would black people define themselves, if they were not actually the victims of a terrible and perpetual
racism?
“The more minorities are “helped,” the worse their lives become, the less equal we are.”
To see where it leads, look at the state of a majority of the American Indian tribes, which have been “helped” to the nth degree for more than a century.
While it’s always a jolt to see the race card played, the ultimate would be a human race card, a person who was born and bred to feed off what’s now in the past. If you doubt about the past part, read the text of Affirmative Action or catch up on the enforcement actions under the EEO, and see who’s being discriminated against now.
But human race cards, man, that’s ambition. Prez Barack Hussein is a human race card. True, he’s a mulato, but that’s accepted by everybody as not a problem, cuz a big dose of imaginative hypocrisy is always required to slam down the Race Card. Hell, Poliwood has been doing it for years, and even made money doing it. Stepping away from entertainment and looking at regular Joe black Americans, the last estimate I saw of the total paid to them to atone for slavery and Jim Crow is $3 million.
George Soros and some of his numerous organizations are ramped up to unseat Allen West in November.
West has acknowledged he “can’t stand” Obama & said about a week ago that Obama wants to keep blacks slaves. A few weeks before that, he said that that Nancy Pelosi was “somewhat delusional”.
Somewhat ?
When looking at Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid et al. and their armies of fixers and surrogates, it’s very hard not to think that those with their hands nearest the levers of power are, indeed, many slices short of a full loaf.
I saw the following just now on a Usenet newsgroup I visit occasionally, rec.arts.tv. I think it speaks for itself.
———
One of the best lines I have heard lately was from a retired
shop foreman at the old Republic Steel Plant in Cleveland, Ohio
when a young black kid was being laid off.
The black kid said to the shop foreman, “You’re firing me
because I’m black!”
The foreman thought a moment and said, “No, we hired you because
you were black. We’re firing you because you are useless.”
Sounds like a possible slogan for the 2012 election!
Roger, well said. One of your best in months. But if you’re really serious about addressing race in a fair manner, you too can quit the pandering.
How about we start by getting rid of the hyphenated American routine? That simply further assists in the division of our nation.
What am I supposed to call a person from Jamaica? Or Haiti?
I may be the last man refusing, but I refuse to use the term African-American.
I’m sick of all the hyphenated Americans.
What a crock all that labeling is.
I hate that both political parties (but especially democrats) pander to different groups as they make central committee decisions that they need to cater to this or that group in order to win an election.
What a complete come down from what this nation is spozed to be.
I think Roger’s most important sentences are the following (with my emphasis):
“A Tea Partier has to be a racist SO YOU CAN DISMISS HIS IDEAS WITHOUT HAVING TO CONFRONT THEM OR EVEN THINK ABOUT THEM. Mitt Romney is just another rich white man SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT HE IS SAYING, YOU DON’T HAVE TO EVALUATE WHETHER HE HAS A SOLUTION TO A MUTUAL PROBLEM.”
I have noticed, time and again, how many people in Africa or of African origin allow emotions to influence their thinking rather than careful, informed reasoning and logical thinking. However, there are also many in Europe or of European origin whose arguments are fallacious (based on incorrect information or reasoning) or simply specious (not based on reality or truth).
This makes me think about something Dorothy Sayers said about how people avoid meaningful discussion:
“Have you ever, in listening to a debate among adult and presumably responsible people, been fretted by the extraordinary inability of the average debater to speak to the question, or to meet and refute the arguments of speakers on the other side? Or have you ever pondered upon the extremely high incidence of irrelevant matter which crops up at committee meetings, and upon the very great rarity of persons capable of acting as chairmen of committees? And when you think of this, and think that most of our public affairs are settled by debates and committees, have you ever felt a certain sinking of the heart?”

JWright said in his recent Washington DC speech there was
“White racist alien DNA running through synapses of Obama’s brain.”
Morgan Freeman recently reminded us that Obama isn’t the first African American president but rather the first president of mixed race.
While I’m glad that someone sort of agrees with someone about something, the DNA wars should make people blush.
Truly well said, Roger. And thank you for your courage.
“…the Democratic party has destroyed the lives of minorities in order to save itself.” says it all.
My goodness, have they no shame…?
That quote should be the sound-bite which should be shouted from the rooftops until the Democratic party is brought to its knees and forced to change.
Either that… or be prapared to enter into minority status in perpetuity.
“If Barack Obama were white, he would be one of the least likely candidates for reelection in American history.”
If Obama were white, he would doubtless not be in the running because he would have faced impeachment proceedings & likely convictions for crimes & misdemeanors. That notwithstanding, the Democrats would have had other candidates running & Obama would have lost in their primary election.
If Barack Obama were white we probably would never have heard of him. Even if he did run for president in 2008, it’s likely the Democrats would have nominated (and probably the country would have elected) Hillary Clinton.
If Obama were white he’d still be trying to get a seat in the Illinois Legislature.
The American voter thought they were electing Tito. They elected Milosevic.
If 96% of a population already has their votes cast, then someone in that group is not thinking for themselves. They are ‘prejudged’ to their own self-elected fate with 4% limited innovation and change. ‘Hope’ becomes a dying ember.
It isn’t racism any longer.
Now it’s just phony-baloney Ray-Sizzum.
So it goes.
This isn’t to say that whites undergo severe oppression. They don’t.
You obviously haven’t seen the recent accounts of mobs ‘of color’ outnumbering and and physically assaulting small numbers of whites, to indulge in the pleasures of color-coded oppression.
And under ‘progressive’ taxation, EVERYONE who pulls away from the pack is oppressed by the confiscations of the tax collector. And that includes quite a number of whites.
I suppose that ‘severe’ oppression could be quibbled about, but when a quarter of earners support most of the budget of the entire country, there is a measure of severity in their involuntary yielding to the majority.
This. Beat me to it.
If you are white, you are under a microscope and walk on eggshells, especially if you are a white male. A black man can use all sorts of racist terms, like cracker, but a white man cannot use the word ‘niggardly’, because it is too close to the word ‘nigger’. If you make a single mistake as a white man, even if it is not really a mistake, and your whole career gets ruined.
They thought they were getting the Beatles.
What they got instead was Mili Vanili.

WRT the black/hispanic alliance now underpinning the democrat party, it seems that the racial descriptor “negro” is back in vogue. Is this an intentional affectation in order grout the tiles of the mosaic or an attempt to draw attention back to the bad old days…or both?
MSM racial tests scoring for US Presidents
5.5% unemployment under White President unacceptable.
8.2% unemployment (actual 14%) under Black President new baseline.
$400 Billion budget deficit under White President unpatriotic.
$1.4 Trillion budget deficit under Black President blame White President.
All right, Roger! You nailed it with this one.
I love to see the overt racism.
People have been noticing since oh, about December 2008.
Many are beginning to wonder why a demonstrably incompetant person, who seems to consistently denigrate one type of person at the expense of certain other types, got to be leader of the country that fought the bloodiest war in history to end slavery.
Some people, actually a lot of people, are beggining to wonder what it would mean to them personally if it were to continue.
The election is supposed to be only about the economy.
I think there is an elephant in the room that nobody is talking about. And the elephant is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the elephant the leftests insist is in the room every time somebody has the audacity to question what they are doing.
Yeah, but us Liberals have no problem saying it. Michelle Obama went from Chicago to Princeton about the same time I went from Houston to DC. According to her thesis, we saw the same thing, that is, wealthy, privileged white people who were convinced that they were entitled to run the country because, in their view, everybody else was somewhat inferior.
She attributed it to racisim, and noticed that the more liberal a powerful person, the more racist. I attributed it to provincialism, and as I saw it, the less competent a person was, the more he needed to protect his status against all comers. Michelle missed the bigger picture because she had no insight into the non-elite full-spectrum experience: she did not know that we are all in this, together.
Michelle did get something right, however. She recognized that there is no institutional bias. She made speech after speech telling people, particularly women, that those close to us sometimes tell us that barriers exist, when in fact they do not.
Anybody who attended one of the First Lady’s campaign speeches, and thought about, is a potential ally, especially if she got acquainted with those jerks on the eastern seaboard.
Sorry Val, the assertion that one group of people unfairly exercised power doesn’t give the right to another group to criminally exercise power when given the chance.
Firstly, life is unfair. Get over it.
Second, obama is incompetent and dangerous. It’s a fact. He would be a marxist junior college assistant professor if he depended on his own abilities to make a living. Pelosi, Reid and the whole criminal crew are equally incompetent and dangerous. And if by some horror, the even more incompetent Michelle got into power, that wouldn’t make it any better. The woman is even less capable of writing a coherent sentence that the mr. She didn’t give up the law license that she no doubt acquired illegally for no reason.
Third, you may be a nut, but others aren’t, and we aren’t going to let our children’s future be destroyed by affirmative action incompetents and fools.
Sorry to be the one to have to break the news to you.
actually, that bloody conflict was never about slavery……. it was a war on two fronts.. one was economic, the other was over central vs local control, that is, federal vs state power. Truth is, the north was opposed to slavery WHEN IT WAS IN THE NORTH. Why? Simple… if slavery were common in the north, too many european-descent workers would end up being slaves, even if called employees. The North had placed tariffs that very unfavorably worked against the rural, agrarian south in the growing world economy. The south began to leave the Union, and the north invaded to subdue them, bring them back by force, and destroying their lands in the process (not to mention what was left of their economy). The “Emancipation Proclmation” was merely a fatal economic and social blow to bring about total subjection of the south. Fact is, most of the “racial” issues we have in view when we talk about “racism” and “civil rights” came about as part of the north’s “reconstruction”, which should more accurately have been named “deconstruction”. Millions of unskilled people were, by decree, turned out of the only homes they had known, no means of subsistence, no place to go, nothing but the clothes on their backs. What did anyone expect besides what happened? They became an instant nuisance, just as would happen today if massive numbers of families would suddenly be turned out in the streets and left to fend for themselves on nothing. Jim Crow laws, gun control (to assure the negroes could not be armed, thus able to defend themselves), segregation, all were a result of the sudden eviction of millions of negroes from their former accomodations. It also ruined what was left of the southern economy. Rather than change gradually over time, as it was doing, catastrophic upheaval ensued….. somewhat akin to a town or coastal region having to recover from a devastating hurricane, except with no neighboring areas to help, because the “hurricane” of war and reconstruction had devastated all.
And we as a nation have never yet recovered from the radical change to totalitarian federal control, and states being the peons of the feds. Until THAT value set changes, we will continue to have “issues”.. When it changes, returning to the model the Constitution lays out, we will again know abundance.
It says much that while The South was still occupied and millions of “contrabands” were living off US armies and camped around Washington, the US was importing Chinese and Irish/German labor to build the Transcontinental Railroad. Of course, in the East, they’d imported Irish and German “bounty men” to fight their war against The South because the Northern merchants and bankers could just pay the bounty to offset the draft call for their community and the US could use the money to recruit on the docks and in Europe. I was amazed when I watched “Gangs of New York” to see the “bounty man” dynamic accurately portrayed.
A lot of what you say has some validity, but to claim that slavery doesn’t make it to the top two reasons for the Civil War is just plain silly.
600,000+ people didn’t die over different economic systems, which, btw, were complementary; and they didn’t die over a federalism issue, unless you are trying to claim that enslaving human beings is a states’ right that the south should been able to exercise in perpetuity.
No vailid points above. Just regurgitated propaganda from 1894.
The Ivy League sons of the fled Confederacy dreaming of their father’s lost Empire– which raiders like Teddy Rooseveldt and FDR, the Butcher of Haiti, recreated on a grand scale for Democrat corporate families.
South Carolina, one of the three original Slave colonies, rewrote the tariff laws entirely in the South’s favor in 1857.
SCOTUS Cheif Thayer signalled the South’s determination to expand slavery north, west, and south with Dred Scott, 1858. The ‘filibusters’, raiding parties, had been burning whole towns in Ohio, Texas, and Central America for over 10 years. Jeff Davis and co. were writing letters to Lincoln asking him to leave them be to build a new slave Empire in the old Spanish empire’s territories. He determined that this empire of darkness never be born- or resurrected.
Individual liberties are supreme in the Constitution.
The Constitution itself has but one purpose- to prevent illegal governments from forming to destroy said liberties.
The President’s only purpose is to enforce the Constitutional limits that protect each citizen- Abe did his job, and did it well. Still, without question, the Greatest President.

Mitt Romney’s background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States.
You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won’t desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. Im sure he won’t attack (DOMA) Defense of Marraige Act nor will he promote the homosexual agenda or abortion!
I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won’t like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney’s background can do it.
Romney is responsible, he will not spend the next 4 years blaming Obama.
But, on the minus side, he never was a “Community Organizer,” never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to da*n the US.
Amen, Brother.
It really is that stark a choice. We can’t let them get away with calling him a bad man. He might be too good, in fact. I hope he turns out to have steel in his spine, not gush.
Don’t argue with people who say these things. Just call them despicable liars.
Every single time.
This is enormously helpful. Thank you.
Way to go backgammon – I’ve sent this around to all n my email several days ago. I’m excited to pull the lever for Romney. To heck with all these people who say, I don’t know anything about him. What the heck do you know about 0b0z0?
Read the above and tell me you know that much about 0b0z0!
Of the racism we had a century ago, I’d say that it is now 90% gone. That means we still have 10%, but there is no easy way to eliminate that. It is no longer an insurmountable obstacle today, but it makes an easy scapegoat for those who are unable or unwilling to make the changes that _would_ lead to improvement.
Minority racism is not the cause of or caused by the poverty of minorities. Rather, they are siblings, born together, and mutually supporting.
What’s going on is very common: ethnic identification. When a person’s ethnic identity is set a notch or two too high, a person takes great pride in the accomplishments of another, merely because that person has the same skin color/worships the same god/eats the same spicy food/whatever.
They see a successful person of their group, and they identify with that person and take pride in the accomplishment- it’s an illusion, of course, because they did nothing to help that person, but it’s a sweet, comforting illusion. It tells them- look, a person of your identity is really worthy, therefore, so are you!
And so, around the world, people let themselves be exploited, just so one of their group can “win” and they can share in the good feeling. “Liberation” in the past half century has not meant “freedom from oppression”, instead it has come to mean “oppression by one of their own ethnic group, instead of a foreigner”.
This is why, for example, it never occurs to an Arab to think that Palestine, which of course existed since the beginning of time with a distinctly Palestinian population, was occupied by Jordan and Egypt prior to 1967. They were “free” then, because they were being ruled by fellow Arabs. Right?
And it gets politicians like New York’s Rangel and DC’s Barry elected: Who cares if they are corrupt, short sighted men? The thinking is, they are one of US, so if they are in power, so are we!
White people are more or less “over it”. Being secure, they no longer need the cheap and easy high of ethnic identification. The typical white person don’t think: “White people are running the biggest corporations, damn it’s great to be white today!” – but ethnocentrically oriented people think this way, and they assume everyone else does. True, national identification is still here, but it’s different: when we do something great as a nation, like getting a robot working on Mars, well, we paid our taxes, so we all helped. It’s not the same as ethnic identification, where the only connection to the great accomplishment is something trivial like skin color.
The irony, or contradiction, is that multicultural societies create monocultural individuals, persons who reduce their identities and loyalties to one group. We need to promote a culture that values individual liberty and individual accomplishments over ascribed characteristics or the accidents of birth.
I say we should oblige all those who don’t like us and send them somewhere they can be more happy and comfortable.
Like all the hellholes they came from.
I have absolutely no problem with that. What a wonderful country it would become again. Especially for the blacks and hispanics who actually want to be here.
Think about it.
As is usually the case, facts and reason will reduce the lefties to sputtering incomprehensibility. People like them are, stuck in perpetual adolescence will never get beyond their feelings that something is just not fair. They never recognize that the only “fairness” that should be and can be rightly imposed is the removal of obstacles to personal success. Anything else is simply thievery, and right now we have far too many thieves in our the country, and in Washington.

The arabs were slave traders – yet Obama is bowing and prostrating himself to the arabs. What give??? Actually the slave trade still exists – and white are NOT the ones facilitating it. It’s about power, and hypocrisy. Al Gore was raised by a rich racist father who voted against the civil rights act- yet Democrats idolize Al “Chakra” Gore – what gives?
In fact, the Luo tribe in Kenya, to which Obama’s ancestors belonged, were the biggest slave brokers on the east coast of Africa.
Roger, well said, and it needed to be said.
In thinking about this, though, I think I am seeing something deeper than what you propose as a motivating factor, that of nostalgically hanging on to an old raison d’etre for the Democratic party. I think this is a convenient motivator, but I rather suspect this is a surface factor. I’ve read and studied Marx…. (calm down now, I never did agree with him or his theories) One of his primary tools for establishing his form of rule is the “divide and conquer” plan. I am convinced that the vast majority of Democratic party operatives and leaders are marxist and/or socialist, and they have read and adhere to Marx’ poiltical philosophy. They are keeping the surface issue of race handy as a “Steppin Fetchit” sort of “boy” to carry the water for them, the real aim being to faction, divide, set at odds with each other, this entire nation. Black vs white, hispanic vs asian, rich vs poor, 99% vs 1%, government vs peon, illegal alien vs legal immigrant, “environmentally aware” vs “careless jerk”, Second Amendment is right and good, vs guns are evil in and of themselves.. except in the hands of government and criminals (please, ignore the bias here, just note the example) christian vs not, and so on ad nauseum. And we “white folk” play right into their hand, taking their bait and giving them the power to destroy us.
Thus we have things like New Black Panther voter intimidation being “acceptable” in the eyes of the Holder; the Martin/Zimmerman “issue”, “vote for Obama he’s black”; drug laws (unconstitutional on their face) that imprison mostly black youth; Holder suing states like Arizona and Florida for trying to clear the dead people and known non-citizens from their voter registries; unions setting up class warfare because their greed is finally being challenged on a national level; refusal to take action against probable/possible terrorists because “that would involve profiling”….
How far down the path to destruction will we have to come before WE THE PEOPLE wake up and see through the smoke the Dems are blowing in our faces? Biran Terry is dead because Holder’s “boys” sent a few thousand guns into Mexico to provide justification for more “gun control”…. hey, Holder, don’t you know that GUN CONTROL means keeping them out of the hands of criminals, yet that is precisely to whom you sent them? And you KNEW this would happen when you approved the program, in fact, it was even your INTENT that people would DIE when those guns got where you wanted them to go.. just so you could “justify” hollering for more “gun control”.
Yes, the Marxist “divide and conquor” plan is being played out under our noses. Read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”…. its there, polished and ready to be used here and now….. and the directing individuals in the Dem party are following his rulebook……. and our “president” sat under Jeremiah Wright for twenty years, nodding his head in approval as the “reverend” preached his hate-based racism and class warfare.
THAT is at the root of today’s perceived racism, radically on the increase since the eighties….. and it will continue to increase until WE wake up and say NO MORE.
The Democrats have always been racist. Read David Barton’s “American History In Black And White.” Why would we expect them to change now?
From the article:
” If Barack Obama were white, he would be one of the least likely candidates for reelection in American history. Instead, despite demonstrated incompetence, he remains in contention, perhaps even the favorite. Under current conditions, however, the reelection of Barack Obama can be seen only as a triumph of racism.”
If he wasn’t black he never would’ve gotten in in the first place!!!!!
I just feel sick as I listen to Rush and 0b0z0 has done away with the welfare law that clinton put in (with the republicans) hs now been gutted. So that you can just sit on you butt and get welfare and don’t have to do any work for it at all.
Panding to the blacks!
Come on, African Americans, you have to be more intelligent than this.
“This isn’t to say that whites undergo severe oppression.”
But you just listed examples of whites undergoing severe oppression, Roger. Oppression doesn’t have to be overt. Indeed, it is covert oppression that gives way to overt oppression.
It’s as I told my father-in-law: Don’t worry about white racism because for all intents and purposes it has been quashed. The racism you have to worry about is the type that disguises itself as political activism. That only describes the party that has always used race as a tool for political activism.
The Left doesn’t “assume” or, in my view, even believe that all Republicans and conservatives are racist. They know the truth but don’t care. It is all about power. To lose sight of that is to lose (again) as I am afraid Mitt will do.
Get Mad Mitt!
I fear that Roger is deeply mistaken. Anti Black and anti Latino racism are still with us, alive and well, in both governmental and private spheres. Today, the US Department of Justice is overruling a Texas law requiring government-issued photo ID’s for voter registration. That law would de facto limit Black and Latino voters, due to the expense and inconvenience of getting such ID’s. Texas has a documented history of racially-based voter discrimination, which is why its voter laws are subject to Department of Justice review.
This morning’s newscasts feature announcement of a payment approaching $200 million by Welles Fargo Bank, as well as a commitment by the bank to pay more damages as they are discovered, for discriminating against Blacks in mortgage applications, forcing them to take sub-prime and other undesirable loans rather than the prime loans for which they qualified.
One can disagree over how remedy both categories of discriminatory actions, but not to deny that they are current. Anyone is entitled to his or her opinions, but not his or her own facts.
Rabbi Chaim Frazer
So, is it racist to require someone to have an I.D. to apply for Welfare or buy booze? Is it racist to require someone to have a driver’s license in order to operate a vehicle on the road? Is it racist to ask someone for an I.D. in order to buy cigarettes?
Wow. Just wow.
You folks really do think blacks and latinos are imbeciles eh?
Sorry, pal. Ain’t buying what you’re sellin’.
That law would de facto limit Black and Latino voters, due to the expense and inconvenience of getting such ID’s.
sorry you have purchased and are selling this load of hogwash. And I am embarrassed that Jews like you, especially a rabbi seem to think endorsing Dem talking points is more important than your true job, endorsing HASHEM. IN fact the last time I attended temple I vowed to never set foot in one again b/c the Rabbi was selling Obamacare. It is fine to teach the idea of doing mitzvahs but by the individual- not ell people how to vote and to let govt do the charity.
Now then- these poor people you cry for do seem to come up with ID very easily when it’s time to get handouts!!! Have you ever applied for welfare or food stamps? I have- and you know what?? you need ID and much more-not just a picture, fingerprints and tax returns, electric bills. There is no person who could vote who could not get an ID- it is easily obtained at any county office, no driver license required. A birth certificate can be ordered easily too for a very small fee, that is if you were really born in USA.
Or the $200M is just the price of protection from the Obama Junta’s alphabet soup of regulatory agencies that they can sic on any business that doesn’t coordinate its activity to the Junta’s objectives.
The consent decree payoff is standard fare whenever a Democrat is in office; the poverty pimps gin up some discrimination complaints, always easy to get from the victim classes, the Democrat apparatchiks in the EEOC/USDOJ of course make an administrative determination that there is probable cause for a discrimination charge but generously offer a consent decree for a few million, tens or even hundreds of millions depending on the richness of the target. The target then has to face the tender mercies of the federal regulatory and law enforcement agencies if s/he decides to contest it in the courts and if s/he survives the administrative pressure has to put the fate of his/her business in the hands of 12 morons with driver’s licenses. What a Country!
Nobody’s buying that nonsense, so preserve your own dignity and stop lying, Rabbi.
“That law would de facto limit Black and Latino voters, due to the expense and inconvenience of getting such ID’s.”
Utter, shameless BS: The time and expense of getting an ID is trivial.
Interesting turn of events this afternoon. According to a report in the Daily Rash, the NAACP announced its endorsement of Mitt Romney for president. http://www.thedailyrash.com/naacp-endorses-mitt-romney-for-president
The more I look at the Obama campaign, the more brittle it seems. Let’s ignore the reckless accusations which never stick, because they are groundless. Let’s set aside the blatant executive orders designed to appeal to Obama’s base. What chance does Obama have?
Obama had all the Left and the Blacks in 2008, most of the hispanics, a large section of the White population and enthusiastic young voters pulled out of the colleges. Who does he have now? The young voters and the whites who voted for him are mostly on the sidelines. The hispanics have shifted against him as have some of the Blacks. Oddly enough, the left think he isn’t radical enough.
If we look at this by groups, things don’t get any better. Polls show that 40% of Americans are Conservative and 20% Liberal. The independents and moderates, who make up the remainder, have grown. The problem is that the independents and moderates are the most affected by a bad economy. This means that the election will be a referendum on the Democrat Party and Obama. Obama has played his hand too early; there are too few legitimate accusations left. The problem with throwing around unwarranted accusations is that they often strike innocent parties. When you shout out racism enough times people stop believing you.
It’s too soon to believe any of the polls yet. The independents and moderates tend to vote for the party out of power. All Romney needs do is present a calm, reasonable case. Hence, I am expecting a landslide of Carter / Reagan proportions. Remember, all the way through the general election the pollsters were pretending that it would be close.
Wasn’t Divide and Conquer England’s winning strategy for colonizing the world?
I survived the overt racism of the 60s and 70s and the covert racism of the 80s and 90s up until today. It hurt and in point of fact, costs me economically every year to the tune of lost wages and missed promotions. But I survived.
I survive because I created a model that helps me to cope with racism in all of its forms. During Slavery you can see it as a White man standing on the neck of a Black giant keeping him from getting up. The problem is neither man is going anywhere.
After Slavery ended White men (almost exclusively Democrat) got off the Black man but spent their lives chasing him trying to trip him. He had limited success. By the time I was born they found a way to win; they couldn’t knock the Black man down but they convinced him to sit down.
Now The Black Giant for the most part sits and is fed by the White Democrat “master” and goes nowhere. The White Dmocratic Party is as much chained to this system as those they seek to control. Witout a dependent to care for they have no purpose in being.
I chose not to sit, not to kneel and not to stand and fight with the man. I do as I always did, as the original freed slaves sought to do, walk away and find my own way in the world. If more Blacks siezed their independence the Democratic party would simply die, the final casualty of the Civil War.
I am awestruck.
The Democratic Party has become the Party of most all the minorities. In doing so, they have become a freak show.
Welcome to the former Yugoslavia.
This is the reason the rhetoric of hate and race have escalated over the past few years. It is part illusion and distraction from a much bigger problem Islamization of America. If race is upfront and in your face everything else is secondary. BO is hoping that Americans will react as his Grandmother did when she saw a black man. So he has put all of us in the same kettle.
This a race baiting is also useful by the mohommedists for building their mosques and declaring Sharia law as the law of the land here in the USA. Tie this with the out and out disregard of the military by BO, and the giving of secrets to the Muslim Brotherhood by HAJI HILLARY through Huma, her personal aide. Understand that Huma’s mother is closely associated with the Brotherhood and is one of its female leaders. So the degree of separation of the secrets of the State Department of the USA and the Muslim Brotherhood is 1 degree. The oversight committee is just now moving on this betrayal.
Everything that the BO administration and the New KKK, Rev. Wright, New Black Panthers, Farrakhan, J. Jackson’s, A. Sharpton’s and the portion of the NAACP that hate white’s, yellow’s brown’s and red’s. These people have made millions on their hate and are trying to keep it going. Follow the money.
Just remember all things with the BO administration is interconnected to do one thing, bring the USA to its knees and bring forth the New Caliphate (New world Order) with Sharia in full charge. Therefore he does not respect the Constitution. Infect he detests it, he believes in dictatorship. And compliance of the masses to his desires. NOW. Communism and mohommedism are on the top of his agenda. Once he gets what he wants the Communists and ther Liberals and Progressives will be eliminated with death.
I heard that while Mitt was booed when he said he would get rid of ObamaCare, he got a standing O at the end. Anybody know if this is true?
That’s true, although the applause was lukewarm. Polite and unenthusiastic.
OK, thanks.
Great article. Couldn’t agree more. Meanwhile, I’ll think of the 30 million uninsured who’ll be able to get health insurance irrespective of pre-existing condition. Keep thinking about your thing.
They may have to wait 2 months to get a tetanus shot but, hey!
Another lefty idiot demonstrating how stupid you have to be to support Comrade Obama; it isn’t insurance if it covers pre-existing conditions! You can call it some sort of prepaid healthcare if you choose but it isn’t insurance, it is simply assuming a cost and it dramatically increases plan costs.
Even those bastions of virtue, the unions, for whom ObamaCare is mostly intended to be a bail out, don’t cover pre-existing conditions in their own plans that they design and run or put long waiting periods for plan eligibility in place to keep people from getting into the plan to cover a known condition. It is not at all uncommon for Taft-Hartley Trust union plans to have a six month or a year period of employment by a participating employer before one becomes eligible for health and welfare benefits. Only where there is the relative security of a large group, government employer, very large industrial employer, etc., will a plan assume the risk of coverage immediately upon employment or with a short waiting period, e.g., 30 days is common.
One can have an intelligent conversation, though not with a lefty, about whether or not there should be some sort of healthcare entititlement for those with pre-existing chronic and thus usually uninsurable conditions, but that isn’t a conversation about health insurance.
Nice article. I although Gandhi said that ‘An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.’
That’s closer to what I recall.
Good observations Mr Simon.
Hope this is not off topic, but in this propaganda war may I add that Hussein Obama is a typical punk, and the only way to defeat punks is to be cool and confident when getting in their face in order to confiscate their space, to set them up for an housing project ass whooping. This election is a national referendum against thieves, punks and thugs and against liars who talk to much and who think we are stupid. Romney is doing OK, but he needs some bad-asses to help him confront the Chicago mob because it does appear that their are a lot of punks jiving for Obama.
Affirmative action will be revisited. As affirmative action will be pared back so will the Democrat party. The Democrat party exists because of racism. Liberals have very little stance in this world that whose survival rests on economics. There is no use for liberal thinking in economics at all. Thus you get the stupid remarks of someone like Robert Reich or Paul Krugman.
Racism is just another piller holding up the world of the liberal. Segregation is the method they use for power. Being the vehicle to set one group againist the other is the way they keep power. A removal of laws permiting favored status of a group of individuals over another are removed so will be the status of the liberal Democrats.
Democrats have to play the race card whenever they can. It’s just another way for them to create class warfare amongst the public. It’s the only way they can remain in power – divide and conquer.
Actually, this is the best article on race I’ve ever read in my 57 yrs. It is not only true, but a very well written article.
Basically, if you are a conservative white you are automatically a “racist” in liberal eyes. The racism against whites in the country is pathetic.
Just look at Eric Holder. If he were white, he’d be in jail. Instead, the AME Church as well as the NAACP thinks he is the reincarnation of MLK, Jr or George Washington Carver.
Frankly, I lost ALL respect for both the AME Church as well as the NAACP due to this fiasco.
The Trevon Marshall case is another one. If this dope smoking, probably thief & hooligan were white & tried to kill Zimmerman, there would be no questions asked.
Black & Latin American racism is ruining our nation. Liberal democrats perpetuate it so they can survive politically.
And…cynical wonder…are you just lost & have nothing better do to w/ your life or a complete dullard & liberal hack w/ amazingly inaccurate info?
I still maintain that “Hispanic” is *not* a racial classification, but a *cultural* indicator. It means “of Hispania (Latin for Spain).” One might as well refer to “Anglos” as “Germanics.” I guess most “Hispanics” in the US would be “mestizos” in Mexico, meaning mixed-race. Of course we could just drop all this terminology if we didn’t insist on classifying people–which the Jackass Party will presumably never give up.
For 100 years after the civil war the democrat party was the party of segregation and slavery … they blocked every attempt to improve the life of blacks … they were the KKK … they destroyed the black family .. ever wonder why MLK was a republican ? James Meridith who integrated Old Miss said he wanted white liberals out of his house … LBJ ( down home racist) passed the Great Society laws further destroying the black family and said ” ..that will keep those N *** voting democratic for 200 years … “
One of Obamas big claims in 2008 was he would heal our racial divisions. But this year his strategy to constantly inflame the black base with bogus racism charges has made the racial division much worse, on both sides. He constantly fans black paranoia and racial resentment. But white attitudes on race will harden as well, because nobody like being constantly caled a racist when they are not. Obamas promise of racial healing is just one of many broken Obama promisses.
But dont worry, Obamas constant record of broken promisses and miserable failure means nothing, because of something or another about Bain. I dont know exactly what it is, since I have seen zippo proof of anything bad, but Bain must be terrible, because the dem spinners constantly tell us it is.
I love history, but need more history books. If we do not know our past, we cannot learn from our mistakes.

“$200 million by Welles Fargo Bank, as well as a commitment by the bank to pay more damages as they are discovered, for discriminating against Blacks in mortgage applications”
The way “civil rights” advocates prove discrimination is to ignore all the factors that make black mortgage applicants different and thus higher risks.
But by the rabbi’s criteria, banks discriminate against whites in favor of asians. Again, it’s not really racial discrimination because the banks are looking at all sorts of qualifications that civil rights thugs deliberately ignore.
