IS AMERICA RACIST? « Neil McKenty Weblog
The very first thing that I noticed was that this was hailed as “The first Civil rights” demonstration of the century. Someone has had their head stuck in the ground. This is so ignorant that I will not even bother to post citations about all of the other actions having to do with civil rights that have been performed since the century began.
Should the “white” kids have put the nooses up on the tree? Of course not, that was just plain dumb. Should the “black” kids have retaliated with violence? No, there are a lot of better ways that the situation could have been addressed.
Can the discrepancy in health insurance and economic circumstances be extrapolated across the rest of the country as racism as the story implies? Ask Walter Williams about that…

If pride is racist then I have to guess that racism is indeed rampant, as well as spread pretty much across all colors, cultures, and creeds.

Perhaps I should have pointed out that the United States has made much progress on the racism issue since the kind of legislation pushed by Jack Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson but there is still a long way to go.

Should I dare say that racism hasd reared its ugly head in the Democratic campaign.
Hillary Clinton is playing the race card shamelessly, Barack Obama more subtly.
Too bad.

I have to think that anyone with so much as a pea for a brain saw this coming. Racisim, and the race card will be played, we all knew that. The only question, was when.
The “how’s” will be a bit more tricky as time goes on though. I hope it’s a mine field filled with jumping Judy’s that get’s the one that steps on it, as well as anyone near too!
