I hate that the Klan uses the cross, too. How dare they? A symbol of love and sacrifice like the world has never known used as a symbol of hate and violence. Don't get me started.
Marty, don't fall into the trap of feeling that you have to state upfront that you're not a racist. That's the liberal's game; they attempt to start all discussions on anything even remotely racial with the premise that all whites are genetically racist and have to 'prove' they aren't, usually by admitting that they 'really' are and of course, any deviation from the leftist ideology 'proves' you must be racist. It's a circular argument of course and a favorite liberal debating ploy. To counteract it, insist the liberal 'prove' your alleged racism without resorting to cliches and tired liberal orthodoxy to make the point. They can't.
America is one of the few nations on earth that outlawed and rejected slavery and while we've treated blacks poorly in some cases, we've also remedied that in the past 40 years and now, some of the most popular (and richest) people in America are black (Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan) and institutional racism is dead.
We want Dr. King's 'colorblind' society and the liberals and far too many black followers want the opposite. It's tragic.
Where all of us once were happy for the equal opportunity America offered, now too many blacks want to be handed something for nothing - taken from somebody else's pocket - and complain that it isn't enough and you took too long to give it to them.
A lot of this
'gimme' and '
You owe me' attitude among minorities - manifested in the outrageous 'reparations' lawsuit - is traced straight to the liberal brainwashing they receive from the likes of Jesse (Who's your Daddy?) Jackson and 'Rev.' Al Sharpton, along with the Black Muslim influence that hangs around to this day, all promoted and encouraged by guilty white liberals who use this black sense of entitlement as a wedge for segregating and dividing blacks and whites. This weakens the black community and promotes resentment from whites, with no real benefit to blacks, but lots of benefits to liberal politicians and black race hustlers like Jesse Jackson. Don't buy into it for a moment. Wanting a fair and equitible society without special breaks and endless accomodations to vocal minority groups (not only blacks) is not 'racist' but just common sense, something sorely missing in most racially-based discussions with liberals.
the only slaves alive today are us working stiff's who pay out the welfare,no matter what color.
Good one! Unfortunately, all too true.
