McDonalds gift certificates and a mid 80s GM Sedan?that would at least be usefuland a BIG +1 to the Allen Keyes post. I voted for him in the primary. Best Presidential candidate in a long time.

Members hawkhuff Posted November 2, 2005 Members Share Posted November 2, 2005 The issue here is racism and racists. Racism exists in all races. It is not an excusive characteristic of whites in America. Racism has been around forever and it will be around long after we are all gone. Anyone who believes it won't is naive and idealistic. One can find examples of this in Europe, Asia and everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chris dax Posted November 3, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Here's the link to the piece by Shelby Steele that appeared in the Wall Street Journal 10/26/05. Not exactly on point with this thread but very closely related and touching some of the same issues... I highly recommend this short article to anyone who hasn't read it. It's rare to read something that cuts through the race crap so well.... thanks everyone for your posts so far....c-d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Aardvark Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Originally posted by bassgeek We all know the issue comes up every few years about the "B lack right to vote". It is an actual law on the books. It keeps getting extended, because there is no way the right to vote will ever be repealed. But I ask, why do they keep extending the law, instead of just repealing it, and put it the constitution that All citizens have the right to vote Period? They did that. In 1870. Amendment XV to the US Constitution Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Members zenfascist Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Originally posted by bassgeek I don't know.... maybe someone who is really in office to serve the public, not to further their own agenda. Like I said before, though, this is unrealistic and impractical, and will never happen. That mentality is why it's never going to happen. If people continue to be complacent and not give enough of a {censored} to work for change, then things will only get worse. The people that talk about how unrealistic it is to have an honest president (I'm not saying this is you) and that we should just be grateful that we live in such a great country are scared of real freedom, because it means responsibility. Of course we should be grateful about how priveleged we are! What I am most grateful for is that I can work towards making a difference, as well as speak my mind without being afraid of getting shot, and I take advantage of both. I'm not saying I'm perfect and I spend my share of time sitting on my ass, but I'll still attend a war protest and I'll still donate to organizations that are working for social change. I'll still read the flyers that people hand me or put on my car, and I'll still listen to solicitors from non-profits that come to my door instead of slamming it in their face. We CAN live in a free country, we just need to unite together and stop worrying about all the petty bull{censored} that creates these social barriers.

Members Sixgun77 Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 I live in Maryland, about a 10 minute drive fron Baltimore City. Unless you get waaaayy out in the countryside, this State is sickeningly politicly correct. None of this really surprises me, but I'm saddened that these people can't voice their disapproval by some means more mature instead of throwing cookies.

Members der oxenrig Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Michael Steele is one of the most articulate politicians in the state of Maryland, black or white. Verbally, he puts all of the liberal black politicians in this state to shame. He's highly educated, and if he tried, could easily succeed to become governor, and possibly someday run for president. He was one of the reasons Ehrlich won in Maryland, the first republican Governor in 40 years since Spiro Agnew. (sp?) I don't know if Ehrlich is going to win again (that's a whole other story, {censored}ing liberal Maryland politicians), but Michael Steele is one of the best men for any office of power. Certain people just don't respect him simply because he's black & conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
