It is "the" question we have to ask ourselves. Our politically correct society is really the result of cowardace in my opinion.
Indeed he does.
In the end, reasoned discourse on these subjects is nearly impossible, since the conservative viewpoint has to be more and more strident just to be heard over the spotlight-stealing (and officially approved) antics of the Sharptons and Jacksons.
Whispered reason is no match for madness.
Bravo Jesse.
Right, sure, we are going to risk our jobs to speak out about the nonsense of the rap/gang-culture.
No way hoser
FWIW, neither Mike Richards nor Mike Bloomberg are all that representative of most American white men, and I don't mean that simply in the sense that they're both Jewish.
Bill Cosby is being called an "Oreo Cookie" by the blacks he attempted to reach with his recent message so he MAY partially qualify for the honor.
BTW, the LAST courageous white man died in prison a number of years ago.
"ALL men lose when freedom fails
and good men rot in filthy jails.
And those who cried "Appease, appease,"
are HANGED by those they sought to please."
Not many of us have a national podium/forum upon which to speak, except for here at FR. Give us one and we'd give it back to Jackson/Sharpton and the other race-baiting charlatans both barrels!
"White men used to be tough."
Those were the days that people did not sue each other at the drop of a hat. A lawsuit can ruin a person financially even if he is found innocent of the charges.
If a member of a minority group feels "insulted" he will get a lawyer pro Deo from the ACLU while the white man can expect to have to hire his own expensive lawyer. Besides, we live in a PC society which makes the white man guilty by his color alone.
It is not justice that our society strives for; it is the propagation of diversity at any expense that is promoted.
I hope that more blacks like Peterson come out and express their views. He is very rational and is not caught up in "blackness" as many people are. See "blackness" is like a religion and if you are yourself in the black community, I mean if you don't have a set of general behaviors and attitudes then you are seen as a sell-out.
Being black myself(father from East Africa and mom from Panama) I find that "blackness" to many ethnocentric people, no matter the obvious social and societal problems that goes with it, is more important then being yourself or acting different(acting right, conforming to the general society).
Being born in and growing up in Miami, FL I was able to witness these patterns but I was given the impression from everyone in the minority communities that Blacks were constantly being harrassed and discriminated against continiously. This I never really found and for most of my life white people have been kinder to me than black. That's the truth. I love black people and anyone for that matter but the things I see going on in the black communities kill me.
Its becoming more and more obvious that welfare, affirmative action and other inequalizers was, and is the Trojan horse of the Black community.
I just hope that whites or more specifically liberal whites stop babying blacks, and stop treating them like children that can't take care of them selves. In a way I don't put that much blame on white liberals because blacks were given a brain by God to use which they choose not to use to its full capacity.
Not afraid. Not cowards. But fully aware of the power of the race-industry slime machine.
"whites" have no defense whatsoever. Any "white" accused of any kind of a bias offense is automatically guilty. This generally means losing one's job. There is no confronting one's accuser. There is no listening to the "white". There is no pleading. There is an automatic verdict of guilty. There is no appeal.
The offense, even if slight, is kept in the left's file, to be used when needed, with amplification and added lies, to prevent the accused from ever recovering.
So we don't fight it.
Barak Obama white? or Steve Martin white?..
or Julian Bond, Tony Brown or Micheal Jackson white?..
Osama Obama has a white mother with an off color sperm donar dad.. Is that black?...
We need a third party with the Rev. Peterson, Chuck Norris and Thomas Sowell on the ticket.
It's not just white men, and it's not just blacks.
To give an example...recently a white woman who works for our company as an independent contractor made some remarks about how lots of Hispanics were crowding into her apartment building, eight or more to an apartment, (in violation of the law,) making noise, intimidating other tenants and generally ruining the building. A Hispanic girl heard her and was "offended." She tattled to the boss. The boss immediately called up the white woman, told her off, and fired her. All the other employees (white, black, and Hispanic,) were cheering in approval when they heard of the firing, and they congratulated the Hispanic employee for standing up for her race and getting this horrible, insensitive woman fired.
Now, the white woman had only told the truth about what was happening in her apartment building. But a "minority" (actually, probably not a minority here in LA,) was "offended," so that meant the white woman had committed the unpardonable sin and deserved to be punished. But losing her job was not enough, apparently. After the firing, the offended Hispanic girl smugly expressed her wish that those Hispanic guys in the white woman's building would jump the white woman and attack her and beat her up, because she would deserve it after what she'd said. Nobody objected to these remarks.
My point is...the white woman had just told the truth about what was happening in her building, and that made her a despicable person who deserved to be punished. But it's perfectly okay for an Hispanic woman to openly express a wish that a white woman would be jumped, beaten and attacked by a bunch of males. This is the whole double standard that is going on. Whites who say anything racial, anything "insensitive," are the most horrible people on earth. No punishment is too bad for them. But if a nonwhite says something mean or insensitive about a white, they are allowed and even cheered. Or they are only "venting their justified rage."
Whites all over have gotten the message loud and clear. It is, "Shut up. You are not allowed to speak freely. Only nonwhites are. If you speak up, you will lose your job. You will be sued and lose everything you have. In any sort of confrontation or disagreement with a nonwhite, you will automatically be the bad guy. So keep your mouth shut and turn the other cheek."
Jackson also claimed to hear Dr King's last words. Abernathy proved that this was a lie, as Jackson was nowhere near King when he died.
Funny that you rarely here from him in the MSM, isn't it.
I'm one tough sonofagun! (Ok, after my morning coffee....)
