If you want to unite people, you talk about what they have in common. If you want to divide people, you talk about what differentiates them.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And if you want people to despise you, give them free stuff.

[BigCinBigD]

If I could talk to the animals. Learn their languages, maybe speak in...

[jessduntno]

It’s time for black men to get jobs, care for their families and STFU about the past. How’s that for a conversation starter?

[villagerjoel]

Time for people to get over themselves in America?

[domenad]

You raciss.

[swain_forkbeard]

Nice point.

We don’t need more talk about race. We need less. Much less.

We don’t need more race-based discrimination from our government. We need Less. Much less.

What we need is more talk about individual freedoms and personal responsibilities, and a government that recognizes those cornerstones of a free people.

Burned out on this crap back in the 60's.

Here’s how the “dialog” goes:

“Say you’re sorry, Whitey!”

“I’m sorry!”

“Apology not accepted. Open your wallet.”

And pull up yer damn pants. And get rid of the sideways cap. And those stupid hand gestures when you talk. Know whut I'm sayin?

Maybe it’s time for a dialog race... see who can say more without saying anything at all. Obama might win.

[jessduntno]

Know whut I’m sayin?

I feel ya...I guess I left out, learn how to speak English, huh?

Let's judge people on the content of their character...end of discussion.

Skin color doesn't matter

[Arthur McGowan]

Here’s what we should discuss:

The danger of electing angry, bitter, Marxist black people to public office. After we’ve had that discussion, we should discuss the danger of electing angry, bitter, Marxist white people to public office.

Here's my dialog/rant:

My ancestors were abolitionist. They fought on every front to stop slavery. Some where soldiers in the Union army. Other (family legends says) assisted in the Under Ground Railroad.

I have in my possession a copy of “Uncle Tom's Cabin” that my Great grandmother gave to my grandmother when she was a teenager.

Family members felt the blow of the KKK because they were Republican. My own father worked on legal cases against a member of the Klan convicted of murder.

As a child my parents provided a place to swim for visiting African American children when they were not allowed in the public pools. Dad also visited the homes of people who needed legal advice, but didn't want to be seen going into a law office to seek it. We have entertained “blacks” in our home for generations.

I'll be DAMNED if I'm going to apologize for my actions or the actions of my ancestors to some Racist Pimp. I have nothing to feel guilty about and refuse to accept their invalidating manipulating actions as the “truth” for America.

Anyone with any idea on how to form a like minded group of individuals to send our message to those who need to hear it please contact me.

Amen! I’m soooooo sick of the ‘race baiters’. I think the people of this country are getting to the point of hearing them ‘cry wolf’ sooooo many times it’s becoming ‘ineffective’. Enough is enough.

[Canedawg]

There will not be a productive dialogue until blacks in America take responsibility for their own behavior, their poor attitudes and flawed value system, their crumbling cities and neighborhoods, their forsaken children, their broken families, and STOP blaming everyone else for their own failures.
