Only by acknowledging the influence of subliminal stereotypes can we eradicate their pernicious effects.

You are also the only one that the law applies to. You are a sucker tax slave and the last allowed target of racial discrimination and profiling. Too damned bad the goofy militas and aryan loons (with FiBBY and press help) have made a true white rights movement all but impossible.

Yes my master....more ovaltine please.....

I wonder what kind of grade Joseph Harker's middle school world civ teacher gave him for this essay.

[weegee]

With this talk of whitey's power structure... what tax bracket must someone be in to be racist?

[mafree]

Je$$e and Big Al must love this essay.

Next time I have to write down my race I'm going to fill in: Racist

I'm going to fill in human but I fear that I may be discriminated against because of the nature of some of my people.

It's enough to make one wonder why blacks would move to England at all. It must be the beautiful climate and all that tasty English food.

Actually, this line is directly derived from the Marx Manifesto: it is class-envy that this poor fellow has.

Since his 'prejudices' are against the 'ruling class' it's strictly Marxist.

Glad to hear that he's not a race-bigot.

Professor, using logic with a liberal is like using square golf balls.

Stalin killed more people than Hitler and enslaved his people for far longer. Now Hitler is absolutely an evil man but these 2 examples are just from the 20th century.

What does it mean to call someone the "worst"?

Republicans have been called "Nazis" on the Congressional floor. Does this mean that they rank among the most evil people in history?

Rhetoric makes terms and events lose their meaning. Identify evil, eliminate it, and let historians worry about "ranking" the offenses.

"As a black man, I admit I am bound to suffer from prejudices of my own. I cannot be racist, however, because in the global order I do not belong to the dominant group."

What braindead gibberish!! All prejudice is personal...MUD

[subterfuge]

Man, I am so sick of whitey keepin' me down! If I ever get the chance to switch places with my oppressor I'll...wait a minute. I'm a whitey. Well who the hell has been keepin' me down?! Oh, me I guess. Sigh.

At the highest level, when President Bush tells Palestinians a different leader must take the place of the man they elected, he's treating them as second-class human beings.

Lefties pushing this line so they don't have to read Bush's speech or give him any credit. Bush said he would not give them any money if they reelect Arafat.

"I'm a whitey. Well who the hell has been keepin' me down?! Oh, me I guess. Sigh."

Yep...I'm 1/32nd Native-American so I guess I've been oprressing myself since birth...MUD

Even accepting his questionable premise that power must accompany bigotry to be racism does not exclude the possibility of black racism. There are many kinds of power. The power to intimidate, to threaten, to blackmail, to extort (see Jesse Jackson) among others.
