Walter Williams for President.

Jesse Lee Peterson and blacks like him must not be allowed to escape the Liberal Plantation. And if they have escaped, others must be dissuaded from following them. What I'm going to say next may be politically incorrect and some might be tempted to censor this but here goes: the irony of liberals' stand against black conservatives is that far from being advocates for black freedom, they're in fact advocates of continued black slavery. Slavery to liberal dogma is even worse than slavery of the body back when slavery was still legal in this country. If a black person is not allowed to think for himself as he or she pleases, she's really not that different from someone who is owned by another person. Liberals' real fear is that if blacks are freed from mental bondage, the days of the Liberal Plantation will be over. Peterson and others have shown through their courage it's possible to end liberal tyranny over black people. And once that picks up steam, rest assured America will never be the same again. Let's hear it for the unspoken and unacclaimed heroes of extending personal freedom to all Americans.

There's a great book on this issue - "It's OK to Leave the Plantation" by C. Mason Weaver. Mr. Weaver is a conservative and financially successful black man. He was a radical, liberal activist during his college days at UC Berkeley. He saw the light.

"After arguing that Peterson had nothing much to contribute to the debate, Dyson offered his opinion as to why this "ignorant" black conservative is given so much airtime "on countless radio and television programs. The answer," wrote Dyson, "should be obvious: His brand of painful self-hatred, and hence, his hatred of other blacks, plays well in certain white conservative audiences."

This Dyson guy was on The Factor lastnight. I wish Bill would have asked him about that last bit and if he really meant to infer that white conservatives are racist.

There's still a chance that some "liberals" are sincere about their convictions on race and minority uplift -- but there's no chance at all for someone who, like Dyson, spews hatred like a fire hydrant at anyone who dares to disagree with him.

What, after all, has Reverend Peterson been saying? That racial reparations are unjust to whites and would be destructive toward blacks. This is a point that Dyson could have taken issue with, had he any concrete arguments to make. That he chose instead to attack Reverend Peterson's motives and self-concept indicates that he has nothing substantive to say. He wants what he wants, and he wants it now.

This isn't just hatred; it's the sign of an infantile personality, a baby who never learned any technique for getting what he wants but the tantrum. It might well suggest that the proper way to deal with leftist racialists is to shame them in public for their "gimme" mentality. Ask them in front of audiences: Don't you think you and yours could make it on your own? Is the only cure for your self-revilement to have whitey pay your bills and perform therapy on you?

One final thought: Ultimately, venom geysers like Dyson's are a positive sign. Americans aren't stupid, and their patience isn't inexhaustible. with a few more incidents like these, they'll shrug off the shroud of unearned guilt and insist that the time of expiation is over. No more free rides! If you want us to think of you as equals, you'll just have to "root, hog, or die" like us melanin-deficient types.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I simply can't imagine anyone attempting to discredit Thomas Sowell who has actually read any of his work. Several of the books he's written are among the great social commentaries of western civilization. Three of them: Racial America, The Vision of The Anointed and Knowledge and Decisions are as profound and well researched works I've ever read. And in the case of Knowledge and Decisions it has changed my life, and my work more than any other publication.

His work is characterized by a clear spoken common sense that not only describes a social or economic condition, but provides clearly documented examples and analysis that bears any scrutiny. Those that disagree with him do so risk of their perceived authority, because they will have no tools to use but rhetorical assertion, and denial of evidence (which he will usually have as footnoted references).

You can't attack a man like that without damaging your own credibility.

Ann Coulter, (whose work I also enjoy) uses the same kind of easy hand with facts that liberals use, only she does so from another perspective. Thomas Sowell doesn't use a liberals tools with language. Instead he explains that what a liberal calls a fact is usually just rhetoric backed by circular logic, and can only be preserved by denial of ample evidence. Ann fights fire with fire, while Dr. Sowell fights fire by proving that it isn't a fire at all. It may be a picture of a fire, or someone may have said fire once, but that doesn't mean the house is burning.

I highly recommend reading his work.

Just consider the mistreatment Justice Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Alan Keyes, Ward Connerly, [Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson] and many others have received for years. And it is not just from other blacks. White people (liberals) are even permitted to call these blacks names with impunity.

The list of true contemporary heroes is much longer than this. Shelby Steele, Star Parker, JC Watts, Ken Hamblin, Armstrong Williams and of course FR’s own Michael King are all equally important in amplifying the message that conservatism works regardless of the color of your skin.

It shows in the Black community like the Democrat Party you have to toe the line or else. There is no room for individual thought.You walk in lockstep or we disrespect and disregard you.

Just a note, Farrakan hates Jesse Jackson and does not hide it well, I don't think Jackson has a lot of love for Farrakan. I do know that Farrakan has basically said that jackson is just about money and shakedowns. Another thing to note, Black conservatives use the work minorities and usually apply it to everyone who is not white, Black Liberals generally just mean blacks and usually, or sometimes hispanics, though a number of black liberals can't hide there bitter hatred of hispanics. Black Liberals also tend to be very highly racist, they almost always hate asians, from orientals, to indians, and so on. I always found that interesting, especially when I used to see black kids in class arguing that it should be okay to discriminate against asians, and whites, but asians more, but never ever against blacks.

I LOVE Walter Williams, Black by Popular Demand, as they say when they announce him on the radio. I have met Alan Keyes and Jesse Petersen. Wonderful great men! Another excellent article by David. Rush got the vocal talent and David the written word talent????? Two of the sharpest minds on earth today.

I only clash with Rush when he talks about things he doesn't know anything about - like medical things and tobacco smoke. He was making fun of "restless leg syndrome" the other day, as if it didn't exist. My late mother in law suffered from that, until they finally discovered it was caused by LUPUS which had attacked her legs, and a few months later she died. It was very painful, but for a long time they didn't know why her legs ached when she tried to sleep at night, not until they diagnosed her Lupus. She only lasted 6 mo. after diagnosis, her body couldn't take the prendisone. He is always saying the give ritalin to kids to turn them into zombies. Ritalin is a STIMULANT and it is NOT a tranquilizer and it won't work if you don't have ADD/HD. IF a "normal" child takes it, it is like speed to them. Ritalin only helps a child to focus, and some adults take it too.

On the other hand, I think there is no such thing as hearing problems, some people just don't try to listen or focus or pay attention. They don't need surgery for that, they just need to pay attention.
