I Might Be A Racist
At the risk of being called a racist, I am fed up with the whining coming from African-American groups and lobbies.For example: Michelle Obama said, "Black girls rock." Isn't that racist?
No, she's the President's wife and black.
But if I said white girls rock, I'd be called racist.
Yeah, because you're white.
That doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
With all the special privileges allowed to black people, it seems to me that if they would use these special allowences to take advantage of capitalism, some could rise above poverty, and then, most importantly, patronize those who put in the blood and sweat to create an enterprise, I believe that within a single generation there would hardly be any disparity between black and white economically. My sympathies have, over the years, diminished into disdain.

nearly twice that in 4.1 years, and then I took a cut
to leave active duty and take an engineering job for
about $10k -- in '75. . but then, I stayed ahead of
inflation for quite awhile. . . not now, though, as a

I know several successful black people. They don't blame others for their own failings.
Another word they use backwards is "privilege." Being white isn't a privilege -- it's a characteristic you're born with. "Privilege" means special, favorable treatment by the
law. And these days, straight white men are about the only people who *don't* have any privilege.

That would soon end all the problems, passing a law against traditional marriage. Oh, but I forgot that people can still propagate without getting married, and that seems to be no big deal today. It seems a fair portion of Americans do that anyway. Perhaps that's why we're slipping into so much division in out thoughts and beliefs.

I did that for 7 years and I cannot remember a murdered white person on a floor or the ground, though I photographed two white guys hanging over the county jail toilets they stepped off of.
Even the white moonshiners and bootleggers were getting along.
Over and over and over again it was always a murdered black person. I suppose that county has the same black murder rate.
Three years ago I saw blacks march in Birmingham to protest black on black murders.
Blacks in and about Birmingham are still killing each other way disproportionately to whites.
"Black Lives Matter." If you say so.
White cops, you are advised to ignore the irony.
Do you want to be called--eek!--racist for commenting on that?
