So, do I get an "A" for the class, or what?
I used to watch him, but have stopped doing so since the prom incident.
I used to watch him all the time but haven't since he blew up at Ann Coulter and refused to allow her to make her point. He is full of himself now and if he doesn't see the importance of Freedom of Association which is in our Constitution then he is not worth listening to. It is not the "whites" who are the major "racists" in this country and he shuts his eyes to that fact.
"......They would also have to include a fair number of articles in Spanish."...say you. Did you mean Mexican?
Mexicans don't read or speak the Spanish spoken and written in Spain. However, by your reasoning, there should be a smattering of all Western and Eastern European languages to make America's propaganda pulp reflective of our diverse culture.
Because most Black Americans have no idea about where their ancestors were enslaved by Black Africans for sale to Europeans, there should be a representative sprinkling of tribal languages, and a slight hint of Ebonics written to round things off.
Only then will we have successfully revisited the Tower of Babel.
People segregate and "go out of one's way" based on social strata, language, cultuiral commonality, looks, sexual preference, etc -- ad infinitum -- don't they?
I don't see where, why or how "racially segregated" get-togethers are in any way different -- it precludes "mind-reading" the offenders in any case who themselves become suseptible to state-enforced 'laws of inclusion'...
Another problem is in PC society's turning a blind eye selectively when the tables are turned -- this inconsistancy is disturbingly elitist and hypocritical.
Someone has to be GROUPED in the first place in order to exclude certain persons. Social strata are not "grouped." They are an aggregate....as is language, looks, sexuality....etc.
An aggregate is a body of people with similar characteristics but no enduring ties. You gave many examples.
A group is a body with identifiable binding ties. A group would be "the workers at Ford Plant #23." The "Eagles" football team. If the eagles had a picnic for the whites only, they'd be going out of their way to exclude.
The NAACP has long ago changed. Years ago the KKK was, effectively a domestic terrorist group, today, they are nothing, but a name and a few guys in robes who could't walks and chew gum at the same time. Just as the NAACP was a proud organization, they have have become not just a racist group, but an exploitive one as well, using african americans to further not just a unique agenda, but to further the leaderships power and the line the pockets of civil rights "entrpeneurs".
The NAACP should be ashamed of itself, the way its mislead its own people, and become corrupt. They are a disgrace to every african american in this country that has ever fought against discrimination. There greed and quest for power and money will do more harm to african americans then the KKK could dream of doing today.
1st amendment, the right of people to peaceably to assemble.
Granted, you may not like racists have the rights of the constitution, but they do, now why this kids chose to "peacefully assemble" with only there own kind, is there business, but simply put, they chose to, they wanted to, I guess they thought they were actually african american and that this was okay.
So?
Where is your Masters from?
Since you asked it was from Suffolk University in Public Administration.
What I said was that it's dishonest to pretend it isn't segregationist and racist when it's designed specifically to separate the whites and blacks of an otherwise combined group.
One of the little details that kept slipping by, was that people could bring african americans, if they brought them as dates, they just weren't invited on there own.
Last but not least, these kids were basically idiots, who's biggest gripes about why they did this, don't hold to much water. However, and this is not a valid defense, but this is done across the country, the only difference, its usually tax payer supported and its done to exclude whites. I'm only glad that tax money didn't go to pay for this, and its tragic that these knuckleheads don't realize that any white kid coming from that school, from now and years on, will have "racist" label attached to them.
Buchanan is not a racist, he has good points and good point by point refution, we don't call blacks racist when they ask for there own dorms, we don't say anything when every ethnic group under the sun demands segregation, to be paid for with tax payer money, but we gripe when a bunch of white kids put there own money out and throw a private party that the people going to didn't even consider a real prom.
Every weekend there are all-black parties in black neighborhoods, all-Latino parties in Latino neighborhoods, and all-Asian parties in Asian neighborhoods. But God forbid us white people having an all-white party or we're labeled racists as a result.
O'Reilly doesn't understand the first thing about freedom of association.
