[Resolute Conservative]

Stop using hyphenated monikers.

[Dr. Thorne]

6. Re-education camp for Blacks. Teach them about self-reliance, free enterprise and virtue.

[MomwithHope]

How about blacks obeying the laws we have in a civil society? No gang attacks on unarmed whites, no looting. That would be a good start. MLK’s non-violent stance would be a good example.

Five Easy Steps To Eliminate Racism In The New Year

Never gonna happen. Mass unemployment of the Professional Victim crowd and their enablers would ensue. Some politicians would lose their voting base.

Just two name two major roadblocks.

[rlmorel]

It is well written, and factual (to me it seems so)

This guy is likely going to be attacked and ostracized.

[Vaduz]

Eliminate Racism is a joke everyone in the world has some form of racism it’s not going away just deal with it.

[dfwgator]

Liberals do not want a conversation on Race, they want a lecture.

[MrB]

That would be more cheaply accomplished by removing the taxpayer funding of their behavioral choices.

[dfwgator]

Too much money to be made in exploiting race issues.

[BitWielder1]

Stop being oversensitive to unintentional and imagined slights.

[RobinOfKingston]

I have five more:
1) stop listening to sharpton
2) stop listening to jackson
3) stop listening to holder
4) stop listening to obama
5) stop listening to (who ever your pick for number five is)

[Graybeard58]

Obama made me racist.

[Vaduz]

Agree it’ what it’s all about fuel the fire reap the money.

Iis sad that race remains a divisive issue in the country. In my lifetime - I am 66 - I have seen race relations improve steadily since the early 60’s up until the time Obama was elected, after which they immediately headed south. Rabble-rousers Rev Al, Rev Jesse, and Jerimiah Wright were the first to stir the pot. What we learned from them was: #1: Black people as a group are the biggest racists. Proof: Over 90% of black folks voted for Obama because he was black (at least half black anyway). #2: Black people are not loyal to the United States; ditto for Latinos. Proof: Jeremiah Wright’s “G’d damn America” sermons resonates with a significant segment of the black community. Latino groups like La Raza (The Race) are very open and vocal about their racial preferences and plans to take over the American Southwest. I once worked in a factory that hired a lot of Latinos, and I can tell you for a fact that a significant percentage of Latinos are illegals that are just here for the money and would not lift a finger to defend the United States during a national emergency. #3: Accusing people of racism is a good way to shake the money tree. Just look at Rev Al and Rev Jesse, who make a good living accusing corporations and people of conscience of racial discrimination, to be atoned for by a generous donation to their cause. Look at the politicians who fall all over themselves to roll out the welcome wagon to illegals, bestowing taxpayer-funded welfare and free public schooling and subsidized health care in the hopes of converting them to reliably dependent Democrat voters - just like black folks are now. #4: Sincere and conscientious Americans voted for Obama in the sincere hope that the racial issue would finally go away, but Obama has obviously made things much worse, stirring up old resentments and animosities for the sake of political gain whenever it suited him. Just look at the cop in Massachusets who “acted stupidly”, the Trayvon Martin case, the Ferguson riots, and recent statements to the effect that “America is racist” to cite just a few . #5: White folks are now the least racist of all the demographic groups in America and are in danger of being overwhelmed and rendered politically impotent unless they defend themselves. Eventually they will decide to fight back, and when that happens, it could get ugly. #6: It doesn’t have to be this way. If folks would just look in the mirror, repent, and return to their Christian faith, we could tone down the rhetoric and remedy what ails our Nation. In 2 Chronicles 7:14 God promises that “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Believe it. I will get off my soapbox now.

God enjoys variety and so should we.

I enjoy Mexican food. I enjoy Chinese food. I enjoy Italian food. I avoid French food, for political reasons. I even like hummus on pita!

All those folks are welcome to enjoy good ol' 'Merican burgers, dogs and freedom fries if they want, or stick to their own chow. They're welcome to participate in our culture, their own culture or a combination of the two and any others they like.

They are NOT welcome to indulge in devil worship with human sacrifice (feminism, IOW), Islam or any other culture that calls for the death or enslavement of others.

Paragraphs & White-space:

HTML eats excess white-space. If you type two or more spaces in a row between words HTML will reduce all of the spaces and tabs to a single space or tab. Carriage Returns (the Enter key) won't do you any good either. Without special care it is easy to end up with a wall of unreadable text. It's quite cruel. If you want white-space beyond a single space you need to insert it explicitly by typing <br> or <p> for a CRLF and a paragraph, respectively.

Break <br> works like you expect Enter (or Carriage Return) to work. It gets you a single LFCR (Line Feed Carriage Return, just like an ancient typewriter). Two styles of break are in use, the preferred version (used in HTML 5) <br /> which contains its own closing tag. Paragraph <p> makes what follows into a paragraph set off by linefeeds. Neither <p> or <br> requires closing tag. The browser software will assume a paragraph is closed when it encounters the next <p>. Closing a paragraph actually makes good sense, closing a break seems like a waste of perfectly good characters.modulo the HTML gods referenced above.

Blockquotes are another useful trick. This entire paragraph has been enclosed in blockquotes. Anything you put between <blockquote> the example text <blockquote> gets indented and set off by linefeeds before and after. This example, rendered, will look like

the example text

the text above. Blockquotes can be nested (placed one inside another) and are a great way to distinguish the source of a quote from your own text.

Preformatted, or the <pre> tag provides a way to grab a bunch of text that is already formatted with tabs and spaces and not have HTML eat all that lovely white-space. As usual a closing tag is required with this </pre>. You can use this trick on a webpage but you need to realize that if the text you are copying wraps because it runs into the edge of the page and not because there is a CRLF present it will behave the same way in the preformatted chunk.

---

Horizontal Rule <hr> generates a horizontal line the width of the page. People often use this to separate their comments from those being commented upon. This also does not need a closing tag. A width can be set with this element, <hr width="150"> looks like:

---

Note that it is automagically centered. You can align="right" or "left" to position it explicitly. The usual caveat about using percentages instead of pixels applies so the preferred form looks like:

<hr width=10% align=left>

Which yields:

I agree. As long as people aren’t committing crimes against each other, it shouldn’t be against the law just to be “racist.” You can’t force someone to like someone else. We live in a world where a cop who said the “n” word decades ago is a worse criminal than OJ Simpson killing two people, and a non-black who shoots in self-defense is a monster, while some black thug is an innocent lamb. Enough with all this crap. It’s only causing more hatred.

5) stop listening to (who ever your pick for number five is) whites who hate Jews, hate blacks, hate "Hispanics", hate Orientals, hate Arabs, hate Frenchmen (oh, wait...)

Ok to hate Islamists and devil worshippers with human sacrifice (feminists, IOW).
