INTOLERANCE IN AMERICA: MULTICULTURALISM FAIRY TALES bears repeating.

(A.N.S.W.E.R. is organizing based largely on "Anti-Muslim" and "Anti-Black" sentiment and propoganda.)

Their rumors, innuendos, and slanders are all lies:

One of the most widespread of these myths is that black Americans fought and died in extraordinarily high proportions in the Vietnam War relative to the rest of the population. This was ostensibly the result of American racism and is a reason given by many blacks (a left-wing minority to be sure) for why they are so ready to betray their country in the current war and line up with Osama bin Laden and his friends.

This came up the other day in an e-mail exchange with a black friend of mine. The short answer (and truth) is that the only ethnic group that died in greater numbers than their proportion in the population in the Vietnam conflict was whites.

Here are the facts:

During the Vietnam War era (draft era to be precise) blacks of military age made up 13.5 percent of the total population, but only 9.7 percent of the Vietnam era military forces were black.

88.4 percent of the men who actually served in Vietnam were white.

10.6 percent of the men who actually served in Vietnam were black.

86.3 percent of the men who died in Vietnam were white.

12.5 percent of the men who died in Vietnam were black.

86.8 percent of the men who were killed in actual battle were white.

12.1 percent of the men who were killed in actual battle were black.

In sum, while the percentage of blacks of military age was 13.5 percent of the population, they accounted for 12.1 percent of the deaths in Vietnam.

And so it goes. All of which leads to the latest multicultural fairy tales being circulated via the liberal-left media, this time regarding anti-Muslim bias in America in the aftermath of the tragic events of 9/11 -- with most of these tales being neatly packaged and disseminated by today's multiculturalism lobby, spearheaded by The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Not surprisingly, in an article last month on the Tech Central Station Web site entitled America the Tolerant: Miscounting anti-Muslim bias, Howard Fienberg took a closer look at CAIR's statistics and concluded that only a small number of the reported incidents appeared to be blatant instances of anti-Muslim bias or discrimination -- despite the contrary interpretation popularized by CAIR which makes the phenomenon appear to be a serious and far-reaching social problem.

In his own words, here's how Mr. Fienberg sums his interpretation of the CAIR stats:

Mazhar Tabesh, a motel owner in Salt Lake City, saw his business burn down on July 21. Police investigated the incident as a hate crime, but on September 11 the police arrested Tabesh himself on suspicion of setting the fire. The incident, and the date, illustrates a problem America has had to face over the last year. Has resentment at the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks translated into increased abuse of American Muslims? Or is that threat overstated? A careful review of the data available on anti-Muslim incidents over the past year suggests that America has remained a tolerant society.

According to Howard Fienberg, the souce of most of the data on anti-Muslim incidents is the Muslim civil rights report issued annually by CAIR. And not surprisingly, CAIR purports to have detected an annual upward trend in the number of anti-Muslim bias incidents every year since 1996, especially since the events of 9/11 occurred. For example, according to Fienberg, CAIR compiled 1,516 incident reports of "9/11 backlash," including "denial of religious accommodation, harassment, discrimination, bias, threat, assault and even several murders" in the period between March 2001 and 2002. However, when Howard Fienberg carefully sifted through the reported "incidents," he discovered that "not all the cases are obvious instances of anti-Muslim discrimination or bias."

For example, 293 cases revolved around what Fienberg calls matters of perception -- individuals who believed they were being discriminated against because they were not hired, were fired, were treated rudely, and so on. Further, as Fienberg notes, other incidents were classified as "discrimination" mainly because the victim of a crime or negative act happened to be Muslim, although there was no supporting evidence that the particular crime or act was motivated by bias (for example, rude treatment at various Motor Vehicles Departments -- "discriminatory" behavior hardly unfamiliar to most Americans).

In fact, considering that the United States boasts a population of 280 million people, Fienberg points out that it's really suprising that the number of bona-fide documented cases of apparent anti-Muslim activity in the United States is as small as it is. And certainly, the kind of slights that are experienced by Muslim Americans pale in comparison to the real suffering experienced by Christians in Muslim states such as Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the Sudan.

Moral of the story? Don't believe everything you read in the mainstream press about acts of racism and cultural intolerance in America -- or everything that Dan Rather and Peter Jennings have to say about the alleged problem. You might just be hearing another multicultural fairy tale. ***

If what you describe were to happen, I can see many many loyal Americans getting into the thick of it and kickin' some behind big time.

But I don't think it will happen for the simple reason that the leftists are cowards.

Who funds ANSWER and why did they steal Allen Iverson's nickname?

It sounds like hyperbole to call ANSWER commies, so I did a little research.

Clicking on "National Steering Committee" under "Coalition" reveals this list of nice folks.

You will note that they don't include links to the web sites owned by these organizations, for rather obvious reasons, but if you do a Google search for "Korea Truth Commission", you get, among other things, Korea Truth Commission: Report of the 8th International Fact-Finding Mission of the Korea Truth Commission. This should give you a pretty good idea of who they are and what they stand for.

This has interesting implications:

• North Korea and Saddam are, in fact, allied in about the same way Germany and Japan were in World War II. There are obviously connections between them, and they try to help each other whenever it's reasonable to do so. I doubt that they actually trust each other, and I don't expect joint operations any time soon, but they are definitely allies.

• We should make it clear to participants in InternationalAnswer protests that they are supporting despotic regimes in North Korea and Iraq. I doubt that most of the protesters have thought this through or have any clue. For support of this, note how little information on ideology can be found on the InternationalANSWER web site. The site assumes that, for whatever reason, you are against the war and want to act against it. They don't tell you anything about them, why they oppose the war or anything similar. They simply take opposition for granted.

ANSWER = CANSWER!

[Ga Rob]

Savage asked yesterday(actually the day before, we get it a day later here in Atlanta)what were we going to do?? He asked if we were too feminized, turned into wimps to just sit in our cars and take it??? I say no...I don't think these "protests" will come to much. But it is a fair question. Back in the 30's and such...when people "protested", went on strike, etc, the general population would take to the streets as well and bust up the protests......why not now???

[judicial meanz]

I think you have a valid point. I also think the average American is so fed up with these punks, that it might very well happen the day they roll out their juvenile civil disobedience campaign, especially if they result to riots to make their point.

Truth be known, I think they have already maxed out in their effect, and are declining in legitimacy to the average person. Their "masses" are jumping ship, and taking the other side.

Not to be overconfident, but I see what you are describing in the beginning phases. I am going to really enjoy watching the decline of these idiots.

I will personally assist the police and fire departments by beating the devil out of these traitors.

Can I beat them over the head using tied-up illegal aliens as striking weapons?

I wonder if any of them will lose their jobs over this little stunt ...

You'd think so, however several of Mr. FourPeas coworkers have attended Appeasement Protests on work time and no one batted an eyelash.
