First, I despise Obama. I will not vote for him. And I may not vote for McCain (he's going to have to have a really good running mate for one thing). Second, I have been a frequent and loud critic of the Black community on this forum--for its political alliances (homosexuals, atheists, evolutionists, etc.). Issues such as welfare and affirmative action don't set my blood boiling like they do some people. I'm sorry, but they don't. So in my frequent tirades against the Sharptons and Jacksons on this forum I have consistently aimed at their moral positions/alliances and have, to the best of my knowledge, never used the terms "poverty pimp" or "race hustler."
HOWEVER--all that being said, I am afraid I must agree that there is in America among my own group (the poor whites I usually defend on this forum) a prejudice against Blacks that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with that community's political alliances but is based on race and race alone. It is something from another time, it has lasted for four hundred years, and there appears to be no end in sight. It used to bother me, and it still does, but I new regard it as ineradicable.
I'm not happy about reporting this. I wish it weren't so. I hate it. But it's the truth. Despite the fact that they've lived here together for going on four hundred years, speak the same language (in practically the same dialect), profess the same religion (in fact, the same form of the same religion), and are intimately familiar with each other, they seem to hate each other like poison. I would understand this if it were based on contemporary Black political alliances. But it is not.
Again, I do not usually post such a message as this. I am an adamant defender of poor rural Southern Fundamentalist whites. And I most certainly point out the hypocrisy of those who excuse prejudice in one group while condemning it in another (not to mention the maddening fact that the same things which liberals regard as "charming" in Blacks [ignorance, poverty, a thick accent, authoritarian religion] is considered monstrous in poor whites). But I do not sweep the situation under the rug either. It's a %&*#$ shame that the two oldest and most similar population groups in the country seem to be such implacable, eternal enemies to each other. But that seems to be the case.
At the same time, as a Civil War Republican, I must observe that the fact that these particular poor whites think Hillary Clinton is their friend and that the only reason they're going Republican is the color of their party's nominee's skin simply confirms to me my own lifelong prejudice against "yellow dog Democrats." Screw 'em.
I don’t believe that for most people it’s ingrained racism. Many blacks have marginalized themselves and now expect whites to pay for their obvious indiscretions. Moreover, many whites have experienced their hateful separatist behaviors. I have been taunted many times. I’ve been made to walk around them because they will not move (except for their own).
Now, throw in black on white crimes, entitlement socialism, separatist TV programming, the media’s warped characterization of black life, advertising that depicts blacks as superior and whites as stupid and weak, rap and hip-hop music, diversity brainwashing, burning and looting, dropout rates, the one way street of “tolerance”, felony violent crimes (all categories) and the fact that the Dems have played them like a Stradivarius for decades. I don’t paint all blacks with that paintbrush, but I’m not blind either.
Perfect example of the start of your "eternal enemies" theory was the first Irishman to step off the boat in New Orleans in the 1800's..they had to fight for jobs from the slaves who had been there for years. Nope..it's not always about hate for the color of their skin, it's about economics in the USA and the fight for food and housing among the working classes. That's were it comes from. Not this eternal, they hate all blacks dogma. That is a sweeping generality and a terrible disease that has been past down through generations among mostly sheltered individuals in liberal land.
If you will notice that Blacks have a huge "problem" with Hispanics. Do you also attribute that to some eternal immortal sin or permanent flaw or just the competition between them?
