Gee, I had two white people at my house last night and no blacks. Am I a racist?

I remembered hearing about the minority students arranging their own separate graduation ceremonies. At the time I thought it their right, but didn't really see the need for it. I feel about the same way for the white students.
What I find most interesting about all this, is that the white kids have been savaged by O'Rielly, but he hasn't had a word to say about the minority student's activities. Why not? Did he not know?

When the National Education Association endorses the use of classroom materials that are silent on the historical contributions of White men to our formation of national principles, is that racist?

An interesting book on this subject is "Why are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" by Beverly Daniel Tatum |

Bill O'Reilly is just another PC blowhole like his clone who ran "Politically Incorrect" into the ground.
To: oldconservative
It's about the music, O'Reilly. Listening to 6 hours of 'rap crap' is hell, if you don't like it.

Ask Unca Bill about the hubcaps.
That will raise his blood pressure

O'Reilly has a Masters degreee in Government from the Kennedy School in Cambridge.
'Nuff said.

Whatever did these white folks do to lose the right to equal respect and equal treatment?They were born white ... anyone else gets a pass.

Actually, there's no good reason even to hold state-sponsored proms to begin with. Let these kids have private parties or not have them. Keep the schools out of it; they're silly enough without holding proms.

Since I acquired my TIVO DVR, I never watch O'Reilly live. I find I can watch most of his shows, skipping through the commercials and his chaff, in 12 - 16 minutes.

Pat is absolutely right.

I will agree, O'Reilly was seriously off-base on this issue. But can we not throw the baby out with the bath water. O'Reilly does do some good work on causes embraced by conservatives.
Some used to think that O'Reilly, or one of his staff, cruised FR to come up with some of the topics for his show. If that is the case, he should know definitly know that he has stuck his foot it it, as far as this one issue is concerned.
He surely is not perfect, but when you look at all other programming in his time slot, maybe he is not really all that bad either.

This "prom" was not a school-sanctioned event. It was a private party on private property. O'Reilly argues that since it was discussed in school, then it is a school function.
So if two school kids say "Let's go get some lunch." would O'Reilly want a school offical to make sure there was minority representation at McDonald's?

I listened to about a half hour of O'Reilly's radio program. I didn't agree with his position or his attitude on several things. I don't have any need to listen to him again. I was very disappointed in his pseudo conservative pompus preaching.

Bump for Pat. He nailed this one.

How does "Spin" O'Reilly feel about BET (BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION), or the BLACK POLITICAL CAUCUS, elected members of the Congress of the United States?
To: oldconservative
PS: I know how people harp on Mr. Buchannan here and in other Conservative circles and I often agree with them. Gary Bauer get's the same treatment.. and I often agree with that.
But I continue to pay attention to these two men and read what they write because on those occasions when they are on target, no one says it better.

I still like O'Reilly very much -- probably because I own his desk calendar, which has different "wisdom" points for each day of the week. He makes a lot of sense. Furthermore, tearing off a new piece from the calendar each morning reminds me that a new installment of his program is only 14 hours away.

What O'Reilly and Shapiro are upset about is something else altogether. For there is no evidence the white kids of Taylor County hate all their black classmates. A preference for socializing with one's own is not hatred. CYO dances used to be restricted to baptized Catholics. That didn't mean the priests and nuns hated all non-Catholics. The same is true for the Newman clubs and Hillel houses on college campuses. These clubs represent the desire of a group to socialize together. This is not racism. It is natural and normal, and there is nothing morally reprehensible about it.
This demonstrates to me beyond a shadow of doubt that Buchanen hates both Jews and Blacks, and probably gypsies and slovaks as well.
I'm not going to toss about the over-worked nazi label, because too many use it on non-socialists, and the heart of nazism is socialism (national socialism). I do NOT think Buchanen is a socialist, but I had no idea that Buchanen was such a hater.
To affirm the right of "association" is fine. But to claim that this white prom was not racially based is absurd. Segregation is the heart of racism. And I hate it for the way it twists the minds of our young.
Asbestos suit in place. Flame away.
