Damn right racism is alive...95% of blacks voted for Obamanation. Sounds pretty racist to me!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[tpanther]

It’s over. Tiger Woods, Oprah and now there truly IS no higher office to obtain...the most powerful poswition and leader of the free world. Thart’s it, there’s nowhere else to go!

But as sure as the day is long we’ll keep hearing “where my pie”?

Well, I intend very much to direct them to “the man”!

[ketelone]

Wow... REALLY? You mean... you mean... electing Obama hasnt cured the world of every ill that ever existed? SAY IT AINT SO, MAC!!!!

[baa39]

About time too.

Enjoyable, funny article, thanks. I hadn’t heard that phrase “Eurosnots”...good one.

“In reality, racism is still very much alive and well,” said Fulton, who graduated last year from Howard University

There is nothing quite so pure, so untainted, as the self-satisfaction of the recent college graduate.

[ketelone]

‘Course. Know it alls. Know nothings.

What I really love is when blacks and white liberals start trotting out the statistics that there is "only such-and-such percentage" of minorities in a given field, sometimes in the twenty-thirty percentile, if not more. What percentage of blacks exactly shouldbe represented, when they are at most 12 percent of the population? Since we have to do things by the numbers, quotas and such, anything over twenty percent is too much representation. Whites are app 70% of the population (for the present), if we are represented at 50% in something, we are under-represented.

Haven’t we all heard of the Caucasian College Fund?
Ninety-five percent of black voters voted for a mixed race negro-caucasian who describes himself as black, but that was not an example of racism. Or was it?

“Racism” will continue to exist so long as African-Americans can use it as an excuse and whites continue to let them get away with it.

I have no history of racial disparity.....I’ve never participated in slavery or the KKK .....as far as I know, none in my family ever has, so I wish they would stop with the generalities....most of us had nothing to do with slavery or the KKK.......

[Deetes]

No way in hell .

[lonestar]

White “activists” are called “agitators.”

[luvie]

There is no way this man can live up to the expectations built up about him for the last two years.

Ya think?

[HardStarboard]

>>>Stupidest headline of the year.<<<

Love to know the demographics and details of the headline writer....white/black, male/female, voted O/Mc, IQ over/under 110, location NY/LA/flyover country?

It's gonna be really hard to top it for inanity.....but somebody will at least by the time Obama is the President for two days!!

“Racial disparities persist - in just about every measurable form - and they won’t simply melt away because the nation has an African American president.”

Well its done with, people have finally developed a knee jerk reaction that disparity = discrimination.

[dr_who]

No doubt about it. Expect at least 4 years of back-to-back non-sequiturs from the press as they drag the country’s political discussion further into madness.

“There is no way...”

Could not agree with you more. In fact, there is a good argument to be made that “reverse” racism is accelerating daily with the election of this black Socialist.

Hold on to your hat —and wallet. Our Republic is changing before our very eyes — and we collectively seem to be asleep to the cultural firestorm about to engulf us. (Shades of Europe — 1938)

Happy Thanksgiving, mate.

“African_American adults are less likely than white people to have college degrees...”

Black people are more likely to consider getting an education as “Actin’ White”. Which they consider a pejorative.

“...and more likely to be in prison.”

The black crime rate in the US is at least ten times that of the Caucasian crime rate.
