If you want what the white community has, do what the white community does...!

There!! Dang, it's not rocket science... LOL! Thank you!

[Maverick68]

At this point, most white people don’t care about racism be it real or imagined...we are over it.

There was a white dyke at the library the other night talking with the librarian about her PHD thesis about the racist roots of the children’s book “Benjamin Bunny”. The librarian was pretty confused as the racism couldn’t be readily discerned, but the big dyke insisted it was there.

I ALMOST chimed in that I was researching the racist roots of the word “the”, but I stifled myself.

[Razz Barry]

I don't hate blacks because of the color of their skin. I hate them because every f-—ing chance they get, they vote to enslave their fellow Americans. I hate them because they voted for Obama. I hate them because they are not out for justice, they are only out for “just us”. I hate them because they were willing to lie about George Zimmerman and destroy his life. I hate them because they are still willing to lie about the man. I hate them because they are so mean and selfish, that they don't care about the damage they are doing to the country. I hate them because they are socialists. I hate them because they are hypocrites.

[American in Israel]

the article does make a good argument for blacks finding their own country where they are the majority.

They did, it was called Detroit.

[MrB]

Yeah, that was pretty funny...

Whites are too busy working and taking care of ourselves to worry about you, them and them and them, and those guys and the other guys and you know.

Many blacks are into the whole black identity thing and how blacks feel about alleged racism X and Y and Z. Whites are not interested in this except for some self hating liberal types. Whites just want to work and live their lives without constant complaints about racism.  Gays are also a pain in the butt, always going on assaulting societies institutions and gay this and gay that

Blacks could care less that they are only 13% of the population and that we now have other large minority groups such as Asians and Hispanics. Blacks are living in the past when the USA racial breakdown was just about black and white with whites being 90% and blacks at 9%. This was the situation when I grew up. Hispanics already outnumber blacks. Though only at 13% the constant drumbeat of racial accusations turns whites off. American blacks are the richest blacks by far. Only via their ancestors slavery are they not in Africa living in grass huts and poverty.

This book is written by a black Washington Post writer who visited Africa and was overjoyed when he got back home to America>>>

You want Keith to think? He would rather “feel”

No, I think it's "feeeeeel." ;^)

[LOC1]

I do not believe that Blacks care very much that Trayvon Martin died. After all, they seem to ignore more black on black violent deaths every day. I think what Blacks care about is that some “white” guy had the temerity and the means to defend himself from a beat down.

That is really what this is about, cow white people so that the black hoodlums can rob, steal and kill more of them with impunity. The Obama administration panders to this approach, because it buys black votes, just like Obama phones.

One of these people approach you while you are walking on a quiet city street early one morning:

Which one puts you instinctively on alert?

It's not about race, Keith. It's about culture.

[CodeToad]

Amazing isn’t it? A black person thinking there is racism using racism.

[Gene Eric]

>> "And just last month, I had to pull out my own iPhone to photograph and report the license plate and medallion number of a taxicab driver in New York's Union Square who refused to pick me up and then drove across the street to pick up a white customer seconds later."

The odds the taxicab driver was White is slim to none -- probably a person of ME descent.


>> "But until white Americans examine their own racial privilege"

Racial privilege? Shove it, Boykin.

[ltc8k6]

And that’s why George Zimmerman’s defense attorney Mark O’Mara last week told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that his client, a known killer with a long arrest record, was just a “meek, mild guy without a racist bone in his body.”

**********

GZ is a known killer with a long arrest record?

[Old Sarge]

Why?

Because whites are racist!

Didn’t you get the training? Or the memo?

Honestly...

[hosepipe]

IF you’re not profiling...... YOU BE A MORON!!!..
ANY intelligent person profiles..

NOT profiling can get you KILLED!...
or raped, robbed, beat up, car jacked, maybe even bitch slapped.. <<- which you would deserve..

[CodeToad]

I gave her a nice racist, snarky reply, “You’re black so I wasn’t sure.”

[TBP]

Why White People Don't See Racism

This is a racist statement.

[tanknetter]

Dude, no white woman is going to come up to you demanding to check inside your pockets for an iPhone she thinks you stole. Its a FALSE PRETENSE and she’s obviously just trying to determine if “The Legend” is true or not.

[A_perfect_lady]

whenever someone says there are more black men in prison than white men due to racism, I retort “yep. And we have more men in prison than women because of sexism!” It ends the conversation, or, at least any RATIONAL conversation.

Yep. I've pointed out before that if you hear a rapist is on the loose, you'll tend to think it's a male, and why is that... boy do people get mad when we make comments like that...

[dfwgator]

Its a FALSE PRETENSE and she’s obviously just trying to determine if “The Legend” is true or not.

"Oh, it's twue. It's twue. It's twue, it's twue!"
