Im not saying that racism does not exist, im saying that it exists and a very small minority of people from all different races. I am saying that liberals should quit trying to tie something in to racism when quite frankly it isnt there. You probably cant watch a single segment on one of MSNBC's night shows where they are not trying to tie racism into something a republican did. For every legitimate case of racism that happens there are 10 more that they try to point out which were not racist. All this is done for the sole purpose of dividing people along racial lines. Media keeps on critiquing the tea party implying they must be racist because there is a disproportionate number of whites in it. Last i checked 99% of black people voted for Obama not the other way around with 99% of whites voting for a republican, so if you want to try to tie racism to one side for the disprportionate number of whites in the tea party perhaps you should point the blame where it really lies, or else just drop it.
I can think of hundreds of if not thousands of stupid left wing media people making false cries of racism since obama took office. The one that stands out the most in my mind was when some half wit tried to say "socialist" was the new "N" word. You have made the claim that all remaining birthers must be racist, well roughly the same number of people who were 9/11 truthers as there is birthers, were all the truthers racist? No, the fact is that there is a certain segment of the population who will believe any conspiracy theory, on both sides of the aisle, and those people are mostly bat shit crazy not racist.
The fact of the matter is the small minority of the population that is legitimately racist, will rarely show their face in public because it is not acceptable by the large overwhelming majority of the population, so all that you/dems do by trying to make ridiculous cries of racism, is divide people, and paint a picture that quite frankly is not based on reality. Im sure if you were to ask most black people what percentage of white people they think are racist, it would be probably 10 times higher then the true figure, and they feel this way because dems have painted this picture. This in turn makes blacks hate white and the cycle continues.
Now lets talk about how ridiculous it is for democrats to try to legislate away racism, through racial quotas and so on. The very thoughtof legislating away racism is a completely ridiculous concept. You can not take away one persons rights based on race through legislation and give them to another person and say that you are honestly out there looking for equality, and all you have done when you do something like this is alienate more people, and divide people further along racial lines.
The reason why dems are far more destructive to black people is because they have also taught people that it is ok to pop out 5 babies out of wedlock and live on welfare while you raise them. Well guess what if there is a disproportionate rate of failure among the black people in the states it is because of this very concept. The majority of kids whether white or black have no chance to be successfull in life if they are born to a family with a single mother living on welfare and 8 babies, it has nothing to do with racism, it has to do with poor decision making from the very start of a persons life. Until democrats start preaching personal responsibility instead of making these people out to be some sort of victim nothing will ever change, but hey look at the bright side when you encourage a mom to pop out 8 babies out of wedlock you will inevitably end up with 8 more democratic votes, and the cycle of destruction will continue. Why is it that black immigrants, or even black people living in Canada succeed proportionately if not higher then other races as opposed to the second generation ones born in the states? It is because in Canada these people are not taught from an early age that they are victims of some sort of oppressive force which is holding them down, they are taught they will have an equal shake at life but they must make the correct choices in order to get their equal shake. Like i said before, thank god all this garbage/phony cries of racism is not a part of the dialogue in politics in canada when you tune into the CBC every night, or the situation would probably be the same.
Quote from Gabfly1:
So are you saying that racism doesn't exist? Or that if it does it exist that it should be ignored? Apparently, it's one of the two, so I'll let you decide.
I also have a fairly culturally rich background. Perhaps not quite as diverse as yours in my early childhood by your account, but it certainly flourished in university and beyond. Just because it may not exist in our own respective microcosms, so to speak, does not mean it doesn't exist. There's a fair amount of shit out there posing as something else when not blatantly outright. Apparently more so in the US than in Canada. Denying its existence, ignoring it, or sweeping it under the rug has never made any problem go away.
