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.

    They were given the gift of reverse racism by the Federal Government. It has 190 years left to run. The rest of you get your asses back to work.

    I exclude those who have worked and made it and include those who comprise the majority of the moocher roles. It isn't a color thing. It's a work ethic thing.

    One of the most laughable (and disgusting) legendary gentile traits is putting mayo on a pastrami sandwich.

    I lived in the 'hood for awhile. Trust me, black folks are often prejudiced for other blacks and against whites.

    That has been a position of a lot of black conservatives and they get ridiculed. You can lead a horse to water...

    -isms in general are becoming the hallmark of this President, despite his claim that he would be the "uniter" of all!

    Nothing could be further from the truth. Divide and conquer is the strategy to gain power. Thus everyone who opposes him is a racist. And with the media on his side, he'll never get called on it.

    The interesting thing, blackswan, is that I never said it was a mistake or an oversight. I took your response to be indicative of your frustration, and, boy, I am with you on that one!!

    That's true, but if any group needed to rely more on their individual brains rather than emotions it's the Blacks.

    I have tried to impress my wife with my superior
    cleverness, but she leaves me with painful bruises, too. -- j

    why dental school? . independence, freedom, self-
    reliance, integrity ... there are things other than raw
    animal attraction. . my wife and I met and joined
    forces because of freedom, not to end it!

    and maybe Mitt Romney was too much a gentleman
    to make a "seductive" presidential candidate, but
    he's handsome. -- j

    and in 53, our house cost $13,500, a small house
    in a very nice neighborhood. . sold it for $100k a
    few years ago. . nothing like inflation to make things
    seem to increase in value. -- j

    However, Herb, they are not the only "bloc". That is one of the downfalls of the current system, no individual thought or analysis. They do not even think in self centered terms, relying instead on people like Carville to tell them what good deals they will get, then when they are not delivered, they listen again to Carville on why it was the Republicans fault. It is a sad closed circle system with little hope of change.

    When the Sharptons take over, most Blacks will be surprised to find that they are the new plantation owners.

    Wisconsin, a long time ago. Mom and Dad played Pinochle with friends that worked for Schlitz, I never got hooked.

    Yes, and in that era, the dollar was worth ten times what it is today. But even then, things were mighty sparse for the working class. I remember my dad getting $25 per week. In today's money, still not enough for a family of four.

    Black-on-Black crime is the greatest cause and yet, it is rarely mentioned. Another bit of insanity in the whole racial issue.

    Or, rebel.
    When my boys got into their 'teens, I had a greater appreciation for my parents, which is exactly what my son told me when his kids got into hormone city.

    Very little demand. Even the far right conservatives have a hard time with individualism which is an indelible component of freedom.

    They still vote as a bloc -- overwhelmingly Democrat, blindly following the very people who enslave them. That is either blind or dumb.

    Thousands of years of programming, versus 50 or so years of women 's equality with men. I guess it takes a while. I tried to impress my wife with my superior upper body strength but she leaves me with small but painful bruises.
