You have all lost sight of a major issue. In a desperate attempt to seem more progressive and racially astute, you have all helped widen the gap between minorities and mainstream society. The longer they are treated differently the more different they will become. None of this is new to Americans. America has had minorities become the majority since its foundation. Blacks are treated differently by both sides; smothered by progressives and despised by conservatives. Asians are of a different color, but despite all the racial prejudice against them (past and present), they attempt to integrate. Blacks do not integrate. This is because of intense differential treatment, again, by both sides. If they cannot succeed, then they do not deserve to. We should not prop them up so they can use it as a crutch. We should not suppress them so they can use THAT as a crutch.

Blacks in general need to adapt as well, not just us. The more we adapt to them, the more our culture and our values are dissolved by outsiders. You do not see this in any other culture. The other day in Bellevue I walked down the street and pointed at a car as it passed me by to admire it. The driver just so happened to be black. He pulled over and threatened to shoot me for pointing at his car. This is unacceptable, but this is what differential treatment creates. Racism is created by both parties; those who refuse to integrate and those who refuse to accept integration. Unfortunately for the outsiders, it is their task to integrate despite such obstacles. The more they do not, the more they are different. If I cannot walk down the street in BELLEVUE WASHINGTON without being accosted by an angry black man, the more racism will exist. Both sides do need to soften, but it is the outsider’s responsibility to become an insider, not to leech off the system and assault those whom he imagines as his oppressors. This is not new at all, but blacks want to be special and top dogs. You have to work to become top dog.

Watermelon and fried chicken are used as a racial slur against blacks, therefore to substitute Bill Clinton in place of Secretary Of State Condoleeza Rice, would not be racist.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand… I’m guessing I’m missing some kind of context (I grew up in Europe) because how is someone throwing a watermelon related to racism? If the same thing was written with Bill Clinton instead, would it be racism against whites?
Please explain!

Mike, you’re right. Most Liberals LOVE to spot and fight racism wherever it
rears it’s ugly head.

Except when it is against a conservative like Michael Steele or Condie Rice!

Indeed Liberals ARE offended by all racism.

Except by their own, of course!

“it aint my side who views minorities as stupid, lazy and incapable of making it without whitey’s help…”

that’s ad hominem, my friend.

I doubt you’ll find that on any Democratic party platform.
