More whites believe in ghosts than racism
MSNBC ^ | 05-05-2014 | Adam Serwer

Posted on 05/06/2014 5:35:11 PM PDT by PaulCruz2016

Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said Sunday that white Americans so disregard the ongoing existence of racism that they’re more likely to believe in ghosts.

“More whites believe in ghosts than believe in racism,” Abdul-Jabbar, a former center for the Los Angeles Lakers, told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. ”That’s why we have shows like Ghostbusters and don’t have shows like Racistbuster. You know, it’s something that’s still part of our culture and people hold on to some of these ideas and practices just out of habit and saying that, well, that’s the way it always was. But things have to change.”

Sorry to break this to you, but your money makes you one of “them,” Kareem.

Skin color ain’t nothing compared to having the bucks - and you damn well know it.

As a mostly white American, I’ve never seen a ghost but I have seen a myriad of racist comments like the one made in this article.

However, slavery was started by Africans: Anthony Johnson enslaved John Casor. That’s right. The first black slave was enslaved by another black man duringa tiem when slavery wasn’t legal. Anthony had to sue in court to get Casor to be his slave.

Of course there are more ghosts to believe in than actual racist incidences.

These white gangs need to quit targeting blacks for their knockout games and other racist activities for this to stop.

It is racist to be white.

That is all.

Getting real, real tired of the constant race-baiting. Real tired.

It's just never enough. Nothing whites do or say is ever enough. Trillions of dollars spent is not enough. Whites allowing affirmative action, even though it's discrimination against themselves, is not enough. Endless groveling and cowering is not enough. It will never be enough. It's time to be just as "racist" as we're constantly accused of being. Why not? Let's try saying and doing whatever we feel like and laughing off the "R" word. What have we got to lose? We're second class citizens now and living in fear. We can only go up from here.

The scene is a large paranormal conference in Las Vegas. The topic is GHOSTS.

MODERATOR: How many in this room believe in ghosts?
(all the hands go up)

MODERATOR: How many of you have ever seen a ghost?
(about 30% of the hands go up)

MODERATOR: How many of you have had some kind of physical encounter with a ghost?
(about 5% of the hands go up)

MODERATOR: How many of you have ever had sex with a ghost?
(one guy in the back row stands up and raises his hand)

MODERATOR: Sir, are you claiming you have actually had sex with a ghost?

THE GUY: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you said goat.

If leftists genuinely opposed racism, they would oppose black racism. How often have you seen that occur?

Well, who's more scary?

Three ephemeral shadows in a dark alley, or three black guys?

Hell I'm white and I believe there are a lot of BLACK racists out there, along with Brown, Yellow, Red, White, you name the color and you'll find racists, some racists that is among them all. And do you know why? Because they are one and all HUMAN beings. Personally I find the author racist.
