He’s also adamantly pro-life, so I think he’s one who defies labels such as what you just tried to stick on him.

maybe on our way, but I mean totally. Their own stores, police force ,fire dept, and most importantly their own government entitlement offices, welfare, food stamps, section 8, everything. Let those who tell their children to watch out for us whites provide for themselves. I am sick of being slapped with the hand that isn’t in my pocket.

That is the funniest clip EVER! And I love that the Crabman is in it!

Hey, have you ever watched that show “Everybody hates Chris”? I didn’t watch for quite some time but I was really surprised at how good and funny a show it is! I mean for a family type show!

That man is more Caucasian than I am. Literally! At what point does the black get diluted enough to deprive a politician of the race card.

Middle class blacks are more liberal than poor ones.

Replace liberal with "militant" and "white hating" and you have what Alan Dershowitz (!) of all people said in Chutzpah regarding black racial attitudes years ago.

I agree with you. You didn’t need to clarify, I just wanted to encourage you that there really are some of us out here who truly get it. None of us are perfect. We all bring some judgments to the table.

Thanks - One of my all time favorites. Had to watch it again to give me a chuckle here at work. :-)

As a white adult, whenever I have faced life's injustices, I haven't had the luxury of slamming the race card on the table.

Neither have I, but I do plan on starting to teach my blue-eyed blonde 11 year old daughter to start pulling that card, because she is being targeted for being a blue-eyed, blonde, very smart, white girl.

I truly hope that everyone here understands the sarcasm in the above sentence.

I know there are. My issue has never been with a particular color, race or creed, it is a TYPE of person; lazy, self indulgent, entitled, and ignorant. They come in all shapes,sizes and colors, and they are growing by leaps and bounds.

Atlas is going to have to shrug to cull the herd lest we all be crushed.......

As long as there is a Nat Hentoff, there will always be racism.

I HOPE black parents are telling their children the truth, that is:

- Martin Luther King, Jr., was a Republican.
- Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
- The NAACP was founded by a white man.
- It was the Republicans, not democrats, spearheading the Civil Rights movement, and supplying the votes for its success.

FTA: “In Nassau, along with 30 hours of training on cultural diversity in the police academy...”

Why isn’t there an equal or larger amount of training in the schools and neighborhoods about respecting the authority of the cops and not creating a bad situation by being confrontational?

One of the biggest reasons that the blacks vs cops meme continues is Hollywood’s portrayals in movies and television shows. Perhaps they need to accept their fair share of the blame.

I hope, but am skeptical, that a lasting result of Gates' manacling will be the gradual decline in the number of these war stories.

It might, Nat, but only if you're willing to accept a lower level of policing in predominantly black neighborhoods. More violence, more crime, more young black men murdered by other young black men. Is that where we want to go?

—As for blacks’ encounters with police nationally, in 1995, Henry Louis Gates Jr. (before he became a household name) wrote in the Oct. 23 New Yorker magazine: “It’s a commonplace that white folks trust the police and black folks don’t.—

Wrong again, Skip. I wasn’t raised to be color-conscience, only cautious around strangers—as most children are raised. I was raised to respect law enforcement, the military, and others who take an oath to serve and protect. I was taught that law enforcement was there for us when in trouble. Option 1 was grabbing one of dad’s guns, if available and necessary.

First off, people like this get press but are NOT speaking for ALL Americans who happen to be black. I had this quote put on a plaque and it hangs in my home office:

****************************************************
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

- Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.)

What do you mean “Surprisingly”? Giuliani is the most pro-police, anti-crime mayor New York ever had. Just because he’s been labeled “not conservative enough” here, doesn’t mean it’s true.

I was about to quote from Chris Rock’s funniest special, “You know who really hates you (white folks)? Old, black men.”

Not all of us believe that. I don’t believe that and neither do my (black) friends.

I had the good fortune to meet a conservative black man at the Irving/Valley Ranch Town Hall last week. He drove up from South Dallas to show his two children (middle school age) what "Democracy is all about". He prominently carried Mark Levin's book for all to see.

I bet he catches a lot of flak in his neck of the woods.

Racial strife and environmentalism are the two biggest money-making industries in this country.
"Big oil" is a lemonade stand in comparison to these two.
Sickening,it is..absolutely sickening.
