Is there such a thing as a “happy” Liberal? I’ve never met a Liberal who wasn’t miserable.
Since the anti racists squabble called the Civil War, white people have made great strides in overcoming the disease of racism, but in their rush to rid themselves of it, they gave it to black people.

A load of cr@p. People who write this twaddle weren't around in the bad old days when black people were really treated as second class citizens or even invisible. Today, how many black actors are stars? How many tv shows feature black people? How many black athletes have promotional deals with large corporations? How many black people live in upscale communities where they might not have been welcome years ago? And how many black children attend the same schools as white children?
I remember stories of how movies like Gone With the Wind and others which had black actors could not be shown in parts of the Deep South at all, or they had to be edited to remove scenes with black actors. I remember when Nat King Cole's variety show was cancelled because it couldn't get national sponsors. I remember segregation in housing and education and people not being hired for jobs because of their skin color.
These youngsters don't know what they're talking about. This country has bent over backwards to right the wrongs of the past and to give black people far more opportunities than their parents or grandparents never had. For crying out loud, we have a black or semi-black president now. If a huge segment of the black population won't take advantage of these opportunities, it's not the fault of white people or anyone else.
Time for the black community to quit the racism rhetoric and take care of themselves.
The purpose of this odd definition is to make it impossible for black people to be racist.
Since only whites have power in the relaionship, only they can be guilty of this worst of all sins.
The problem with race in America is that whites, generally, don’t know what to do with race in America. So they pretend it doesn’t exist. That leads to it’s own set of problems.
Time to start deporting the savages!
Or better yet, you live in Michigan, go live in Detroit if you don't and see the truth there. See if it's the bad white man causing troubles there. Or, *gasp* is the bad white man trying to save Detroit?
Besides that, Ms. Ingram, you are only repeating what another "race baiter" has told you before. You are now part of the problem.
On another front, IMO, there is an ethnic cleansing planned in this country because the "murderous, money-hungry, evil" white man is getting pretty thin, these days.
Which exempts blacks from being racist because, in her view, they lack the power. How convenient.
The Democrat NEA teachers teach Black children every day that all their problems stem from the racism of Whites. Never mind that BIG Government has destroyed the Black family, the basic foundation for every culture, and Whites could disappear tomorrow with little effect ion their cultural rot.
The Democrat Party works to keep Blacks locked in their prison of victimhood, because Blacks dependent on government hand-outs provide White Deocrats with their government jobs. They are the new masters of American Blacks, just as Lyndon Johnson planned it when he said his war on Poverty would “have the n*****s voting Democrat for 200 years.”
Then you, Janaye, are a moron. Power has nothing to do with racism. You cannot cure a racist by taking away his power. If he was a racist with power, he will be a racist without power.
The very idea that racism requires power stems from the racist notion that whites wield all the power, and are therefor racist, while blacks are completely powerless, and are therefor not guilty of their own racism. It's a comforting definition for lazy racist blacks, but it's not rooted in reality.
330,000 WHITE UNION military KNOWINGLY went to their deaths to free the African American slaves during the Civil War, they FOLLOWED the directives and emancipation orders of their government, a government THEY ELECTED. I have never heard an establishment, professional, progressive/ African-American, or White Progressive ever ACKNOWLEDGE, much less “thank” these dead men for their sacrifices, nor recognize the 260,000 White Union military who were wounded and/or grievously disabled, nor the widows, nor the children, nor the families of the military who also suffered.
Check my Tagline.
That use of quotes is racist.
If many black Americans believe that despite their being at the top of the crime stats. and at the bottom of the scholastic achievement charts, white racism is holding them back, then then there is no hope for them in this country.
Here is the "RACIST in “POWER” wth an A-M AG who investigate or prosecute Whites not Blacks eg Arpaio, Black Panther stuff etc.
POTUS sees himself as the “Savior of the Black Race" when he will in fact destroy them as he is dismembering the Dim Party by his actions (See Nov. 2014). “O” continues to permit 100 visas a day to be processed from several W. African Ebola infected nations. He cannot seriously think that the majority of those who become infected will be living here in majority communities does he? He will single handedly destroy many Black Communities, fratricide / genocide, in the hopes of getting some added Democrat votes someday.
The man lives in his own world, as do all Libs, a system of beliefs that do not coincide with reality. A true Democrat.
I suppose that is the author’s picture at the source. Looking at her, I doubt she has ever suffered any sort of racism. She didn’t mention sports which has how much percentage of blacks?
"We live in a world where even when something or someone is legitimately racist, we have trouble identifying it. Racism has become so nuanced, that even the racist person believes that their racism doesn’t exist. So when Michael Brown gets shot 10 times walking down the street, even though his hands were up, we struggle to say if it was racism. When Marlene Pinnock gets brutalized by a White highway patrol officer or when Trayvon Martin is followed home and turns up dead after a struggle with the shooter, some struggle to say that it was racism."
I've never heard of Marlene Pinnock, but we all know that she's lying about Saint Trayvon and the Gentle Giant. So, what can the credibility of the rest of her article be? That's easy, zero credibility.
The problem is that race has been resolved to just skin color, language and (some) religions.
An Open Letter to the Democratic Party (From Black
Woman)
Lincoln Heritage Institute ^ | 3-18-08 | Lt. Colonel Frances Rice,
“We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:
Whereas in the early 1600’s 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development,
Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,
Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations are having on us today,
Whereas the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to disenfranchise African Americans,
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who supported them,
Whereas, according to leading historians (both black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored, and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,
Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched, mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the Democratic Party,
Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,
Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:
(a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations, (f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon’s 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,
Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka (a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were established by the Democratic Party,
Whereas after Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans, he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for ignoring civil rights issues.
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on suspicion of being a communist,
Whereas Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War,
Whereas when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr. and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,
Whereas in the House of Representatives only 61 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans, and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,
Whereas Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,
Whereas Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election was “stolen” from him and that African Americans in Florida were disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the “Miami Herald” and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to vote,
Whereas the Democratic Party’s soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government social programs,
Whereas the Democratic Party’s use of deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is consistent with the Democratic Party’s heritage of racism that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill until this generation of African Americans,
Now, therefore, for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party.
