"Though the nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," attorney general Eric Holder announced in a speech. "[A]verage Americans simply do not talk enough with each other about race." "It's so true." Richard Spencer pricelessly responds, "Throughout my years of formal education, I haven't heard much about 'race' or 'racism' and its effects on American society. It's always seemed that the whole educational and governmental elite just wanted to ignore the subject entirely. One would think that in a country this size, with our great wealth and resources, we'd have full academic departments dedicated to the study race, as well as student-orientation sessions and wings of the university bureaucracy. A nation that was willing to talk about matters racial would probably be willing to spend billions on government programs dedicated to equalizing outcomes in employment, admissions, and test taking."

Yes. Can you imagine after the blood spilled by Americans during the Civil War, the blood spilled by white civil rights workers, the legislation by white politicians to reverse racial discrimination, the constitution and unfair preferences of affirmative action programs, the racial preferences in academia, the preferences for black workers and hiring of black executives, the election of black politicians, the money that the United States has sent to help Africa and the elevation of an incompetent black man to the Presidency of the United States, and that's not enough? For the race pimps like Holder, it will never ever be enough. Time for people to stand up and tell it like it is!!! Enough pandering and allowing the left to use the race card as a nuclear weapon to destroy any true honest dialogue about race.

Race won't go away until the victims and victimizers have died. Those folks will always be wracked with either mistrust or guilt. That is just how it will be despite all the "conversation" that Mr. Holder thinks we need. One wonders if his mixed background suggests to Holder that if his family is over it everyone else should just get over it too. Who knows?

That's what I liked to believe Webster, but I realized people are prone to the axiom 'there's a sucker (read:racist) born every day.'

Hey Dan, have you checked out http://www.theobamaforum.com/showthread.php?t=1808&page=1

yikes,

I think the new Marxists in this country who have siezed control get it wrong.

As modern and as educated as they are, the are working off of old models and have read textbooks of how Trotsky and Lenin did it back in Kiev in 1905. They've never stopped to consider that the economic circumstances and education level of a more malleable Eastern European population in the early 20th century might have been more fertile ground for their washed up agenda than 21st century America is.

As of this moment, they are flying high thinking that they have all in the United States bamboozled with their bull$hit when the reality is that most people were not on board with their REAL agenda and were voting for something completely different.

The people are starting to wake up and they don't find the reality pretty.

On a side note and as a surprising example, I was out to dinner tonight and there were a group of thirty something professional people in the bar. They were getting a bit high and all of them were raising their hands and mockingly laughing and saying 'Hope and Change'.

This gave me some Hope for the right kind of Change we need right now. Which would be 86'ing (or at least stripping as much power away from ) the Communist who has taken over the White House.

As an undergraduate student I can attest that we have full departments dedicated to the study of race, student orientation sessions, and wings of university bureaucracy. All I have ever seen them do is drive a wedge between students from different backgrounds by ironically screaming at them that they aren't the same and "racism" keeps it that way.

That's similar to the idea behind the "diversity" movement that includes everybody. As long as you're not a white male.

Is it racist to look at a white person and automatically think they're racist?

I gotta hear Bobby Seales speak this Tuesday at my school.

You know, I guess I'm still wondering why we're waiting for Obama to come out and denounce what this guy said.

Could it actually be that President "My Grandmother is a typical white person" is on board?

Naw. No way.
