I am so sick of everyone yelling at each other. Racisism is wrong, slavery is wrong, seperate but equal is wrong. We all know this, agree on this, why can’t we move on?!?!

Some questions on race: Why is it racist to challenge the preferential treatment aspect of Affirmative Action policies? Why is it not racist to have a Black caucus; black university; NAACP; or BET (black) television network but it would be for anyone who wants to have a “whites only” organization? Why is it racist for the media to report the race of a suspect involved in a crime when the suspect is black - especially when they go out of their way to report a white on black crime?

That prof owes his professional life to “racism”. Where would he be without those race-colored glasses? He can never drop the schtick…perfect go-to ‘race’ guy/prop for MSNBC.

The good professor agrees with the corrupt AG’s statement that we are a nation of cowards when it comes to discussing race issues, then talks over a person trying to have that discussion.
Are we a nation of thugs when it comes to discussing race issues?
McGee? Sharpton? West? Farrakahn? Wright?
America’s dirty little secret: There are too many black people who hate America. There are too many black people who hate white people just because they are white. There are too many black people who use white racism as an excuse to not conform to the norms of a civilized society.
The race hustlers enable it, and the media ignores it.

Heather MacDonald had a good rebuttal piece today.
Eh. When I was growing up, racism was defined as “treating people differently based on their skin color.” Now it’s defined as “NOT treating people differently based on their skin color.” College scores, sexual mores, showing up on time…in the 1980s, suggesting that black children can’t learn as well as white children, or that blacks were promiscuous and unreliable was vile racism. In 2009, those things are all “cultural differences” society “needs to accomodate.” Which is grating enough even without people getting paid six figures a year to teach children of all colors that these stereotypes are true, and they’re all the fault of white racism.
Everything is backwards and upside down, and the more I’m lectured about it, the less I care. OK, fine, the Obama administration thinks I’m a racist, now go away and leave me alone.

No one in my family’s history has ever owned slaves, and I have never been made aware of any black man who took my last name after being “freed” from the plantations. Hell, nobody from my family even resided in this country when that happened. I have nothing to apologize for, and neither should anyone else who is free of the guilt trip laid upon all whites by self-appointed minority leaders. Do not cower out of fear that standing up for what you believe in and debating this issue might subject you to being called a racist by someone who is an ethnic minority or by some white intellectual elitist. It is the very people who claim to be “enlightened and intellectually superior” who have created and magnified this problem by treating people differently based solely on their race and later gender and sexual orientation.

Why am I not shocked that the race hustlers aren’t shutting up and now seem to want to use Obama’s election to the Presidency to “Stick it to the man” even more?
Sadly, if these clowns keep it up, they’ll all but guarantee that race relations will be set back 50 years or more. More and more people are getting sick of being called labeled “racist” for no reasons other than it’s assumed that they are.

I had to shut that video off. What useless gibberish. And PatBuck is as annoying as any lefty.
However, one exchange was was priceless:
Bucky sez: “…. and %75 of babies in the black community are born out of wedlock.”
Prof Sez: “Jesse Jackson has been addressing those issues for the last four years.”
I’ll say.
But to the contrary, I believe this nation is to obsessed with race, talks to much about race, worries to much about race. And all of it keeps the race baiters in face time (and donations).
As Heather said: go away.

We are a nation o cowards regarding race. Let’s face it, too many people back down to the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, Rev. Wright,ACORN, Obama, NAACP and other race baiters and groups. How many companies have given money to Jackson and Sharpton’s groups? Those people are the cowards.

Didn’t the good Rev had a kid out of wedlock?

Yeah, that’s the first thing my boyfriend said when we watched the video. Well, the first seven minutes of it.
I wonder what your average HS dropout around MKE thinks of millionaire old guys telling ‘em to do what they say and not what they do.

C’mon everybody let’s lighten up (No pun intended).
Mr. Holder said we were afraid to talk about race.
Let’s prove him wrong. Let’s talk about race.
Should we start with Michael McGee or Lee Holloway or Chris Brown or Michael Vick or R. Kelly or Al Sharpton or Snoop.
What shall we talk about. Education maybe?
Moral values? Cohesive families? Maybe we could talk about Gangsta Rap!! Or Pit Bulls or street gangs.
No, let’s talk about FATHERHOOD or PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Let’s pick a subject that doesn’t end in me paying more for MPS to spend.
Let’s chat about the Tuskegee Institutes count of 4096 lynchings since 1885 vs. 600,000-700,000 killed in the War that ended slavery. Including 30,000 wounded or killed in one day in September 1862, 5 miles from my birthplace.
Yes let’s have a real chat about Race.
Let’s not start it with….YOU OWE ME WHITEY PAY UP. and let’s not end it with. TOO MANY BLACK PEOPLE ARE XYZ…..PAY ME MORE.
Are you libtards able to handle a real discussion on race?

Hey, I’m all for it, but don’t dilly dally around the problems then. Quit wording stuff weird and just say it like it really is”
“• Blacks in Milwaukee are seven times more likely to be arrested for a drug offense than whites. Milwaukee has the second-highest racial disparity for drug arrests among all major U.S. cities.â€
Or slightly reworded
African Americans in Milwaukee are seven times more likely to be caught or commit a drug offense than whites. Milwaukee has the second-highest racial disparity for drug arrests due to the imbalance of African Americans more likely to commit crimes among all major U.S. cities.

“• Blacks in Wisconsin are 42 times more likely than whites to receive prison terms for drug convictions. Wisconsin has the highest racial disparity in drug sentencing in the nation.â€
Or slightly reworded
African Americans in Wisconsin are 42 times more likely than whites to receive prison terms for drug convictions due to the imbalance of African Americans (7x) more likely to commit crimes. Wisconsin has the highest racial disparity in drug sentencing in the nation due to the imbalance of African Americans more likely to commit crimes.

“• The United States’ incarceration rate is the highest in the world. The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the world’s incarcerated population.â€
Or slightly reworded
The United States’ incarcerates people instead of executing them or caning them. The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 25% of the world’s incarcerated population rather than using corporal punishment?
OK, now we have talked about race.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
The reasone heretofore that we have had high incarceration rates is because our people are free. Free to make the choices that we make.
Adam and Eve chose the apple. That was a bad move.,
