Without the influence of blacks in America, we would have music like Germany: polkas and techno-pop.

Your assertion that white kids are “acting black” has been around ever since Elvis Presley, the guy who made acting black into a career.

I don’t know what rock you crawled out from under, but go back to playing with your guns and posting to the White Pride websites.

We got enough wack-os on this board without you.

Thank you,

Here is a neat link.

It’s all a matter of what you want, or expect out of life. Tradition is very important to some people, that’s why the many in the middle east want to blow us up. 1000’s of years of tradition has been/is being flushed down the toilet because of our presence in the region, whether you agree with those traditions of not, they are all those people have ever known.

I personally like progress, learning, getting my ailments cured, a million channels of nothing to watch, making more money than I deserve, and all the other great things we Americans take for granted.

Other people want to live off the land, fish and hunt for food, and eat grass and shit. To them progress sucks.

My point is to each their own. I was wrong for saying that anything “worth a shit” in Africa came fromt he white man. They are entitled to live however they want.

LoL this may come as a shock…. I did!

I am often asked if the South were the “bad guys” in the Civil War. The question itself shows a lack of knowledge, but it is welcome. There are no “good” or “bad” guys in the War. Each side was doing what they thought was the right thing as they saw it. I do understand why some may think the South were the bad guys, but they would be wrong.

Capn, your unreasoning hatred of Southerners is well known and documented.

GS, looks like I’ve misjudged you.

My respects.

Okay, fine.

What about the poor, suffering Iraqis?

Why doesn’t she give a sh*t about them?—————-

The ‘Soputherners’ were our countrymen. Their descendants live among us today.

The Iraqi’s (some of them) are fighting against us.

Something tells me you still don’t comprehend that.

According to the latest Anthropological science and genetics we may all be one race. That is, that we all share the same genetic makeup and only certain trait characteristics makes us different because of adaptation through environment.

Cultural racism as established by selective grouping may have occurred because of obvious traits (skin color) and also cultural rules.

It’s all good theory and such, but I think most race based prejudice is based on selective practice and usage of man’s twisted society.In other words, we screwed it up big time.

It started when a slave-owner declared this nation’s iindependence by writing “…all men are created equal.”The Constitution of the United States — the single most mportant document of self-governance in history — was adopted only after African Americans were determined to be 3/5ths human.

Racism is embedded in America’s DNA.

And it’s gonna take a while to work it out.

On one hand, I agree with Lenny Bruce who said we need to get words like Kike and Wop and Nigger and Spic and Polack out into the open so they no longer have the shock value of being unacceptable. But Lenny was a “Kike” and could use the word with irony. Richard Pryor could say “the” word and get laughs because he was audacious. Carlos Mencina can throw out “beaners” with impunity because it’s self-referential, ironic, and sometimes funny.

But when a 70-ish white man starts talkin’ like he’s a withit gangsta rapper it’s just pathetic. Imus should be joking about Viagra-pumping has-beens who desperately hope they’ve accumulated enough money to attract shallow gold-diggers who covet unlimited charge accounts at shoe stores. (Not that it’s particularly funny; but at least it’s got something relevant to Imus’s life.)

Limbaugh can tell fat jokes. Stevie Wonder can tell blind jokes. “Republican” can tell prick jokes (well, he can’t; but we’re being theoretical here).

Imagine someone like Chris Rock walking on stage and doing Jeff Foxworthy’s act. If Larry the Cable Guy recited a Dave Chappel bit it’d be a little creepy, right?

Race, or color, or ethnic background are all false issues. There are just as many cheap Presbyterians as there are thrifty Jews. There are exactly as many lazy Mexicans as drunk Irishmen; or not.

It’s probably going to take a few generations of Halle Barrys, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeters and Vin Diesels until we come to the realization that that there’s only one “race:” the *human* race. ‘Til then we’re gonna have to deal with all sorts of misguided racism.

Race-based bigotry is just too easy. Gender-based bigotry is just too easy. Ethinc- and religious-based bigotry is just too easy. It requires no thought whatsoever.

In fact, it depends on it.

Thanks for the kind word.

To be fair, the Democratic Party isn’t above using racial divisions either. The party has for years taken the African-American vote for granted, all too often paying little more than lip-service to their needs.

There are also some in the Democratic Party (and in the Republican Party, too) who make the races of illegal immigrants into an issue, all in an attempt to gain the votes needed to win.

It would be nice if race were not an issue in American politics. I don’t think there’s any hope of that, though. Pity.

Richard Nixon crafted what became known as the “Southern Strategy” following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since then the Republican party has depended heavily on exploiting racial divisions in the South to allow them to carry the electoral college in Presidential elections.

When I see people here and elsewhere piously bloviating about the GOP being the “party of Lincoln,” I want to scream. In 1964 the two major parties essentially switched sides in the South.

There’s an easy explanation. The South used to be the stronghold of the Democratic Party. Before the 1960s, the Democratic Party in the southern states stood for segregation, Jim Crow, and poll taxes. And those were just the *official* platforms.

That started to change in the 50s and 60s; by 1980, the shift in party alignment in the South was almost complete. The Republican Party was targeted for takeover by the same religious extremists who had earlier lost control of the Democratic Party in the south.

Now the Republicans of a “small L” libertarian viewpoint are abandoning the party in favor of the Democratic Party in droves. The moves by Paul Morrison and Mark Parkinson were not isolated incidents; they reflect a significant change in the philosophy of the Republican Party as the extremists tighten their grip.

Those of us who value liberty, or who are often labeled “moderates,” have no use or patience for the kind of naked bigotry the far right has for any ideas but their own.

The evidence of that is on this blog every day.

Heh, yeah, no kidding.

My house is like my second job.

And now the grass is growing like mad to boot.

I’m a slave to my yard.

I’d like to rent too, but my wife loves her flowers etc.

Got that one filed away in the “to be used later” bin.

You can’t expect that level of abstract reasoning from a We Blogger at this late hour. Give us a sentence or something that leads into the text. Be creative. And I’m glad you own your own house. I don’t own a house because I don’t want to fix defective plumbing when I finally get a day off.

I own my house.

Are the grownups in at your house?

GSheridan went on and on about the poor, suffering Southerners.

Okay, fine.

What about the poor, suffering Iraqis?

Why doesn’t she give a sh*t about them?

And nice attempt to minimize the damning nature of seeing “our” guys shooting the hell out of the people we’re there to “protect.”

I was wondering the same damn thing.
