Hey Hey It's Saturday

 We have severe racial issues in this country and Connicks liberal white guilt pandering is a classic example of bowing to the new racism.
What kind of shit storm would be stirred by the founding of, White Entertainment TV, a White Congressional Caucus, or the National Association for the Advancement of White People. How about an Affirmative Action program that said Asians are taking to high a percentage of our Engineering degrees, Schools have to change their standards to more accurately reflect the percentage of Whites in society.
I'm sick of all this BS about racism, I remember the real thing, and todays Blacks are nothing but cry babies.
The only minorities in America who don't get ahead are the ones who don't TRY to get ahead. It is not entirely their fault either, 60 years of the slavery defending democraps telling them that they are "owed" has left the black community to lazy to think.
Consider these facts : The politicians who fought hardest against Abolition were Dems.
The States that seceded were led by Dem majorities
Lincoln, who fought a War to END slavery was a Republican
Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who founded the KKK was a Dem. Republican were not welcome
All the Southern Segregationists who fought against equality were Dems.
Another thought for you.
The Dems say that the Republicans are the party of the "Rich", and they need to keep the rich wealthy in order to maintain and increase their power, while the Dems, they will smugly tell you are the party of the "Poor" and the under dogs."
The logical extension of that idea, which the dems leave out, is that they in turn have a vested interest in making sure THEIR power base, the poor and the underdogs, also remain that way to maintain THEIR power base.
These a$$holes are still on the Plantation, they are just vote cattle for the Dems who feed on their largely self inflicted misery.

You're missing the point.

It's not liberal white guilt pandering.  It's saying no.  we're not going to go back there.  We're moving forward.

And instead of decrying about no WEN or NAAWP, how about working so that there is no need for an NAACP or BET or the like.  That instead of the Black, White, Yellow, Red man, we just see a man.

How about getting off the Plantation.

Never been on one.    Born and Raised in Highland Park (Detroit), Michigan. 

It looks like you feel that I'm coming from a Left-wing Liberal viewpoint.  That I consider racsism to be something different than the norm.

No.

I consider racism to be what was listed on your second link at the 25 second mark. "Racism: Discrimination or Prejudice based on Race"

I also feel that way about sexism and sexual orientation as well.

Or to put in in easier terms.

I believe that ALL are created equal.  Just like it says in the Declaration of Independence.  (I just took off the "Men" part so that people wouldn't sidetrack asking If I thought that woman should be equal as well.)

I've also seen many times at work and in my life people being discriminated against because of their race.  Heck, I've been discriminated against too.

That leads to a choice.  You can hate the other group because you think they are being treated better than you or you can fight against discrimination itself.

Which one seems morally correct to you?

About three years ago I remember walking through a customers plant in Canada with the branch's President.  As we're walking along he turns over and says real loud.  "Look at all these lazy sand niggers.  Can't get any work out of them!"    Immediately they respond with. "Stupid WOP!  What do you know?!?".  This kind of thing went on for about a full minute, then they all started laughing and said.  "You sensitive American's really get blown away hearing anyone talk about that stuff dont you?"  I had just stood there mind reeling with "OH CRAP!" thoughts, trying to keep a neutral expression, and not let my being German get brought into it!

My point.  People in the U.S. are so worried about being politically correct we've become a global joke even in CANADA!!!

OH, I used the "N" word!  Surely the world will end!  Fact is I hear black Americans use it more than anybody else.  The "N word".    Get over it America!

Get over it America!

That's what we're trying to do.  To get over the animosity and the over correctness.  To be at ease with eachother like those people you met in Canada.  That's where the transition comes in.

As Middle aged man would say, "I'm working on it!"

It REALLY felt good to see those people so relaxed with the subject!  It's a beutiful change from the seperatism impressed by the American press we see EVERY day!  They imply one race "owes" the other with nearly every story.

Ulmas, You obviously don't get it, but you are part of the problem.
Any one who whines about racism when we have a BLACK President, (Regardless of whether he's a POS or not ) needs to rethink his position and find something else to b!tch about, cuz THAT dog just don't hunt.

[Ulmus]

Tom,

When people are still out there saying things like "I'd rather have a woman as president than a ... anyday!" or "I have nothing wrong with black people, I think everyone should own one." and other remarks like that shows that there still is racism we need to stop it.

The hunt still exists.

[tombogan03884]

 I WOULD rather have a woman hack like Hilly than that socialist POS we got stuck with.
As for your other example, you don't hear me sniveling about "drunk Irish" jokes or MB pissing and moaning about "cheap Scots" Jokes, or M'ette whining about "blond" jokes, what makes blacks any different ?
There's to many of them to qualify as an endangered species so HTFU or die. But quit trying to push the blame for  laziness, and entitlement mentality onto US. It's bullsh!t.
