The thing that surprised me is that nobody in that room challenged the man for making racists comments. They let him drone on and on. I would have liked for someone to have taken a stand against him. Instead he was applauded.

It's OK for a black man to be racist. But only if he's blind and thinks he is white. Then it's really funny.

First, of all, to call someone a racist you have to believe that "races" exist.

The idea of "race" has become passe in this global world where one sees mixed children in almost every society. Add to that the fact that many groups have never fallen easily into the typical race stereotypes based on phenotype, the linchpin of racial demographics, (e.g. Brazilians, Arabs, North Africans, African-Americans and Carribean Americans of mixed descent, so-called Eurasians, etc.).

If one wishes to go out and kill "whitey", must one also kill all North Africans, who have been copulating with "whitey" for millennia (see: Egypt, Cleopatra, Caesar, etc.). What about central Asians? Does their epicanthal fold exclude them?

I am not a racist and never thought of this issue before...

So i think the White people have to take a proactive approach to what this black man just did - wage war on Whites.

So I urge all Whites to arm themselves and start to protect themselves and the White World. Maybe the Whites have to take this threat seriousely and eleminate the black threat.

I took a Maori Studies course and one lecturer was seriously putting forward the idea that we need a seperate Maori police force to deal with Maori criminals. Actually that was just part of her thesis that Maori needed to live COMPLETELY seperately in every concievable way, from govt, schools, areas, police, work, everything.

I went up to her after the lecture and said "What if my house is being burgled by a mixed group with some Pakaha and some Maori, who do I call?". She didn't seem to like that very much...

The OP poses a rhetorical question. Racism abounds among blacks and is usually directed at other minorities.

Many moons ago, I was an inner city high school English teacher--by choice. I also lived in the black community (re: African American) for more than a decade.

And I can truly say, although it's not PC, that the greatest threat to the black community today is the black community itself, sadly enough, especially the disintegration of the family. And that doesn't include the staggering statistics of black-on-black violent crime.

Any other cited reason is a desperate search for a scapegoat.

The Nation of Islam has correctly identified much of what ails this community but their anti-Semitic, paranoid rhetoric and separatist solutions are wacked.

Don't get me going on this topic.

Mack,

Have you been hit by a Mack truck?

First off, I was referring only to American society. What the French do is their business, and I don't care if they degenerate. Tolerate more Algerian immigration and they will soon enough anyway.

Second, if those societal factors are the cause of black family woes, why was the black family more intact before the civil rights era? Sorry, doesn't wash. I know Al Sharpton preaches this crap, but most of us know he's an ambulance chaser and a consummate liar.

Yeah, the Latino birth rate in this category is up but I'll bet my last nickle more of the fathers stick around. The crisis in the black community is first and foremost a problem with black men stepping up to the plate.

In the 2000 Census, 72% of all black children were born out of wedlock and only two-thirds of all households were headed by a single female. This despite the fact that for the first time in history the majority of blacks live well above the poverty line. There are more whites than blacks in poverty, although not as a percentage.

There are fewer black men graduating from four-year colleges now than two decades ago; the enrollment of blacks (despite affirmative action) would have declined in absolute numbers, too, if not for the increased enrollment of black females who, by the way, are finding it harder to locate eligible, educated, responsible black men to date and marry. Even Oprah knows that.

Other racial and ethnic groups are just as vulnerable to the trade in illegal firearms but the incarceration and probationary rate for young black men is much higher. Blaming the jury pool isn't going to account for this huge disparity despite your wishful thinking to the contrary.

So stop drinking that Colt 45 and sober up long enough to examine the sobering stats. It's no coincidence that increasing numbers of REAL black leaders are lamenting the breakdown in morality in the black community--a morality which was once paramount when the Southern Black Baptist Convention still held sway.

Racism is bad no matter who is spouting it. The great thing about a free society with open exchange of ideas is that idiocy can be countered with non-idiocy ... and tghis is we work so hard to have and keep a free society with an open exchange of ideas.

Let racists, and all manner of intolerant types talk all they want - as long as the rest of us keep up our part of things and shoot them down rhetorically when the need arises.
