Let's see if I understand the rules. Blacks, African Americans, or whatever the politically correct nom du jour is, are free to rail against whites. But if a white dares to mention race, the consequences are dire.
Geraldine Ferraro is the latest casualty in the ongoing race war, which, oddly enough, has only white casualties. Geraldine was forced to step down from Hillary's campaign because she dared exercise her first amendment right, suggesting Obama wouldn't be succeeding in the Democratic nomination battle if he weren't black.
Whether or not her comment is valid will never be debated. For daring to offer an opinion on the subject of race, she has been cast from polite society. Her sin? Opining on race while being white. According to unwritten rules, only blacks are allowed to discuss, well, being black in America.
The Sharptons and the Jacksons have cuckolded two generations of blacks (Blacks?) into white racism. The accepted party line on race is, anything that goes wrong is whitey's fault. Everyone is racist (if you can't see that its because its silent 'institutional' racism). And the only way to be an authentic black is to join the grievance community and make victimhood the defining characteristic of one's being.
Americans are a moral people. Something which is increasingly being used to our disadvantage, with our permission. Consider: Just as terrorists consider appeasement a sign of weakness and thus feel emboldened to further acts of terror, so do racial hucksters become emboldened and validated every time a white is forced to sing mea-culpa for even mentioning race.
In any debate, the side that defines the issue has the upper hand and sets the rules. Racial hucksters realize this, and have been extremely effective in stifling any debate on race unless the debate is framed around issues of their choosing. Under these rules, honorable and heroic black men, like the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, among many others, are automatically excluded from the national conversation because they hold conservative views. Views that directly challenge the 'its all whitey's fault and ..
You got it right, Nancy. White people are supposed to just STFU and only speak if it is to apologize or to make amends in some way for some imagined wrong.

We have another perfect example in our neighboring town. A woman was shot a short while ago during a drug raid. A very unfortunate incident indeed, and my first thought was concern for the family, but also for the officer. Having mistakenly shot someone must be the worst feeling in the world. I assure you that I did not know that the young Lady killed was black until all hell broke lose, and the black community pointed it out. We since were graced by the 'Rev. Jackson, while Al Sharpton probably did not see the chance for a mass riot, so he stayed away thus far. The sad part is that black, white, green or pink, all the officers got along just fine. Now the name of the game is diversity training.
My question is this: why do blacks want to be considered equal when all they do is point out their differences? I am asking this as a broad question, acknowledging the fact that many blacks are above this kind of reverse discrimination, and rely on their own accomplishments, knowing that we are all created equal by our maker.
Whites are becoming the minority...fast!! I started a thread like this in a different forum and got He*l for even mentioning such a thing! hahaha THAT in of itself, made me fight even harder! It's exactly right! We have BLACK PRIDE DAY! We have NATIVE AMERICAN DAY! We have CINCO DI MIO! What do you think would happen if we started a WHITE AMERICAN DAY??? How about parades? How many have you seen that celebrate WHITES ONLY? I personally don't need a day or parade to feel good about myself. But if I wanted one, I would be called a racists! Go Figure.....

Blacks no longer want to be equal. They want to be like all other minority groups in the US, and set up their own seperate culture. (A culture, BTY, that actually stems from southern culture during the civil war) Assimilation is considered 'being white'.
Thank you multiculturalists, politicians and racial hucksters.
No matter how thin the pancake, there are always two sides.
I agree Foxglove. Toledo, OH cancelled the white supremacists last year. Now, I know these guys are too extreme, but when you compare them to what is happening in glorious San Fran one wonders. Over there it is ok if cross dressers to disrupt a Mass, and the Congregation sits there stunned instead of whopping their behinds. Illegal Mexicans can riot illegally with mexican flags, and the police, instead of putting them in busses and sending them back to Mexico, are protecting them. With the way blacks have distorted the issue, Martin Luther King jr. would turn in his grave.
I am A American first a foremost. Then I am white. Let us have a month for white American's let see how far would that go. Not very far, We let the Jacksons and sharptons Tell us what we whites can and can not say. If I say backs can stand the heat better then whites I am a racist, But dusty baker said it ,it is not. Well this is not going to go away. I well say how it is. If they do not like it to bad.
Don't talk to me about DIVERSITY. A Few years ago I took a diversity class because I was working with people of different ethenticities and lo and behold I soon learned that the reason the world is so screwed up is because of the WHITE man.
Take a look around you, what you watch on the boob tube, radio and TV ads. Pick out the geeks and bad guys-they are WHITE. Check out the supervisors. Listen to the A....Alert radio ad, African American dispatcher, African American child that is kidnapped, white kidnapper.
Now return to those days of yesteryear mainly the 60's & 70's when the word was perpetrated mostly by minorities, " You can't be a racist if you are a minority." That ladies and gentlemen is one of the many reasons we have these problems today. Any questions?
I agree , we have the Black Congressional caucaus and the hispanic caucaus, we have Black Entertainment TV, when i was in the army ...they had a magazine i believe was called " JET " for the black military people, you have the united Negro college Fund.... the months of Jan and Feb for Black History and King...and the list goes on and on... try to start any organization or business and substitute the word white for black ... trent lott was forced to resign as majority leader simply because he said the country might have been better off if Thurman had been elected president years ago........ Imus was fired for calling a bunch of college basketball players nappy headed hoes ...... If Obama was really upset by the racist sermons of his preacher ...he has a strange way of showing it...you don't give thousands of dollars each year ...unless .... you are liking what you are hearing
