Bump.

This country has some major problems.

Racism isn’t one of them. Our society is onw of the single most accepting of all races, on earth.

We need to bring back American jobs.

Stop exporting American jobs. Now.

A lot of us did stop caring about skin color, til our current racist-in-chief and his attorney general began making color an issue.

Racism is LESS prevalent than 50 years ago but it does distract from what is really important: White House scandals!

I never did care about skin color.

I don’t care about black people anymore though.

To paraphrase Bronstein: You may not care about race, but race cares about you.

Discrimination based on color is wrong.

Discrimination based on behavior is mandatory.

Wow. Someone didn't get the memo. RATS are pimping the race card more than ever.

Divorce is through the roof

Actually, the divorce rate peaked in 1981 and has been generally going down since. We are back to about where we were in 1970.

Unfortunately, this is mostly due to fewer people getting married.

True. However, I detect a note of desperation in the pimping. I think the race card is beginning to bounce.

Or if you prefer a different metaphor, the emperor's new clothes are starting to disappear.

The black SUBCULTURE is what offends me. Violence, ignorance, drugs, gangs, ignorance, crime, ignorance, ebonics, etc...

I think conservatives are much less race conscious than liberals. Black liberals and elected democRAT politicians are the most race conscious.

There is no more shallow, hollow, or soulless way to think about human beings than in terms of their skin color.

I'm sorry but it is a lie and misnomer that 'race' is just skin color. Now if he is advocating that race shouldn't be the sole criteria or reason to treat/judge/react to someone I am with him there but race is not just skin color and it is dangerous to insist that it is so.

that while racism still rears its ugly head from time to time, America has made significant progress in the half century since Dr. King’s incredible speech.

In what way specifically do you allude? 'Racism' from whom? Do you mean whites have been browbeat to not see 'skin color'? We have more non white race groups then ever. Political, lobbying, social, academic and otherwise for this non existent skin color. Except of course white specific groups. Meanwhile we have an anti-white Marxist SOB in the white house and as AG.

One thing that Democrats always, always, always do, is overreach and overplay their hand.

Aside from expecting massive voter fraud from blacks, I can't quite figure how they plan to win National elections by catering only to 12% of the voters and pi$$ing off everybody else.

There are two problems: 1) racist feral blacks and 2) guilty white Liberals that pander to and stoke black racism. Solution: turn the racist blacks on the guilty white Liberals by telling them [blacks] that “all their (white Liberals) swag belongs to the blacks”. Then, pass the popcorn.

On the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech in August 1963, many are asking the question: ***Are we in a better place today when it comes to race relations?***

Who is president TWICE?.
Whining gets old real face check your race card in your own house.

I read some of what was said in the speeches and I thought that rather than talking about thinking positive and what we can do to better ourselves they mostly talked about the dark past and hate. You can’t be positive and do good things if you live in the past and think negatively. Think Germany of the late 20’s and 30’s of their hate from WWI, it wound up consuming them.

Not to mention what really is the point of this piece? To further disarm whites until they completely capitulate to the destruction of us and the nation that our forefathers built?

If you want to have a true national dialogue on race and see where chips really fall then lets do it. But if what you are really advocating is more of the same from the last 50 years? No thanks.

This isn’t about skin color, it’s about ideology.
