mega barf alert.
The faster they spin, the deeper hole they dig.
We’re just “typical white people”, we just don’t understand! “Mister” Wise’s steaming pile is beyond comment.
This guy is as much and idiot as the pastor.
All whites are to blame according to their views for not only the status of the Black man but all of the worlds ills.
The racism starts in the first damn sentence.
Don't ascribe this to all whites. Many whites are descended from Europeans and others who had never set foot in the US until after slavery was aboloshed. Many whites are descended from Republicans, who abhored slavery.
Ascribe it to white Democrats, only.
I admit, I was silent about slavery when it was going on during my lifetime...
What other Church has Barry Hussein belonged to? None that I'm aware of.
Wait, I forgot... How many years past the civil rights movement are we? This dude is not living in 2008. Last I checked, I was more discriminated against for being white than any black person I’ve ever known!
I guess this guy doesn’t know the difference between being indignant and being hateful. Well, liberals aren’t known for being the sharpest knives in the drawer.
No matter what we say here, there is nothing that’s going to dislodge Blacks from their obcession with victimization and identification with slavery. Moreover, it should be abundantly clear that they can say anything they want without being held accountable for the truth of their statements. To be accountable necessarily means that they can no longer be victims.
I'm trying to put a face to the name here...
Please, pleeeeeeeease, keep up this line of defense.
Tim Wise is a major league AH. Check out his bio. I’ve been reading his stuff for years and he’s always wrong.
You do realize this pablum is penned by a 40 year old self-hating white guy, don’t you?
They’d also exclaim that the girl scouts ‘had it coming.’
“Pardon me, but something is wrong here, and whatever it is, is not to be found at Trinity United Church of Christ.”{
Yeah, something is definitely wrong here. What’s wrong is that the most fortunate black people on earth, who enjoy incomes and opportunities that blacks on most every other parts of the world can only dream of (and do dream of), but these fortunate black people would rather wallow in self-pity and fritter away many opportunities rather than “act white” and take education seriously, and take seriously the responsibility for raising the children they bring into the world.
Blacks in America, who have never been slaves and most of whom never lived in the pre-civil rights era in the US, rather than getting serious about education, would rather blame whites for all their problems when their current problems are overwhelmingly created by the 70% illegitimate birth rate and high (40%?) school drop out rate, and high involvement in crime rate, and the moronic street cred nonsense that has all to many young blacks involved in gangs and the self-destructive “No snitching” campaigns and considering every minor slight as some “diss” that must be revenged.
At least one black guy was honest enough to put things in real perspective a few years back, the Washington Post reporter who’d just returned from a trip to Africa and said: “Thank God, I had an ancestor brought to the United States of America as a slave.”
But as long as there are black “leaders” of the sort that wrote this article, some blacks will continue to wallow in self-pity and blame everyone but themselves for their problems, while the last immigrant to enter the US legally or illegally, from any part of the world, will soon be more prosperous than many 10th generation descendants of slaves. This writer is just one more excuse maker and blame shifter who is of no help to the black community.
I know that a good portion of black Americans have rejected the self-pity, blame whitey cop out. But I don’t know what the breakdown might be.
Whoever predicted a repeat of the 1968 DIM convention with race riots could be safe where we are heading...
“White People” don’t have to say anything because this is a free country and no one is holding down the “black man”. Anyone in America can work where they want if they’re qualified. They can live where they want within their financial means. Anyone can get a higher education at any university that accepts them. Credit card companies don’t ask race.
