What is it with these NPR names? Would Mary Smith have to change her name to something more exotic?

“The segregated neighborhoods and swimming pools of Bradley’s grandparents have yielded to more subtle forms of discrimination."

Like flash mobs.

‘Okay, so apparently the reason these kids say “that’s racist” is that they’re not too bright.’

Now THAT’S racist.

Ha!!!!!

My Health Insurance company wrote me a letter stating that my premiums will be rising next year. I told my in laws that I thought rates were supposed to go down under ObamaCare. My father in law jokingly said,”maybe your insurance company is racists.”

I think the race charge the left has been using to deflect critisism and debate is falling flat.

I sold some pro electronics to a couple of guys yesterday from Kenya. They were VERY nice guys and, believe it or not, we actually got along great and, if I were not moving to Kentucky, we could have become friends. When they left, I mentioned to my wife, why is it that all the black people I can relate to and I enjoy being around are not born in the US?

It is when I realized that there is more truth than I realized in what I’ve been saying since high school (70-72): I’m not a racist. I’m a culturist. It is black CULTURE that I really hate, not black people. And I hate it more than ever.

But, like the rest of the black people I take one on one like everybody else, these two guys were not part of the black culture. They were merely people who, racially, happened to be negro.

For instance, when a character on NBC’s Parks and Recreation explains to a co-worker how to do laundry, he says, “Okay, so you always separate your lights from your darks.”

True story. Back in the '60s my sister and I had to move from New York City to South Carolina for family reasons. One day my sister and wife (from PA) go to the laundromat. When they come back they mention that "people are weird down here". I asked her what she meant and she said they had "White" and "Colored" signs over the washers, so they dutifully separated their "colored" clothes from the "white". She said people, including blacks, stared at them. It's got to be a family joke.

” “That’s Racist”...the words idiots have to use to win arguments... “

I once pointed out to my favorite Lib that, throughout the course of our conversations, she was the only one who referred to Pres. Obama’s race....

Her response?? Apparently, my *not* making an issue of race makes me a racist...

“idiots’, indeed.....

I went to college at New Jersey Institute of Technology (formerly Newark College of Engineering). The campus surrounds 3/4 of Newark Central High School, which could be your stereotypical inner city high school - a wasteland.
Some of the NJIT students were from Nigeria, Kenya, and the Carribean. They did NOT think highly at all of the inner city “culture”.

I worked in a place where we employed people of all different ethnic backgrounds. I found that the Africans were just the sweetest people. They all had a great attitude, were hardworking and were genuinely nice. Most, not all, but most of the African Americans had an entitlement attitude. Many were lazy and had a severe chip on their shoulders. And if we dared fire any of them for doing a poor job they yelled “racism”. It really is the culture that is the problem.
