		<description>Heh, just thought I&#039;d check in on this page again. Funny how the dreaded &quot;N&quot; word is censored, yet fuck and cracker aren&#039;t. Like I said, it&#039;s all about double standards and wanting it both ways. Nothing against whoever modded the comment, but it&#039;s a great example of what I was talking about.</description>

		<description>What an idiot this guy is, I bet he&#039;s barely sentient.

As for the whole race issue, not for nothing but I&#039;m tired of so-called &quot;minorities&quot; always wanting things both ways, as in wanting to say that they&#039;re equal in every single way, yet different. Which is it? You can&#039;t say you&#039;re the same yet expect special treatment, and by the same token you can&#039;t say you&#039;re different and expect to be treated like the majority, be it whites, males, bald, gay, whatever.

Like how a black guy can call me a cracker but he&#039;ll flip the fuck out if I call him a n*****, it works both ways so don&#039;t give it if you can&#039;t take it. (And yes, I call black people n*****s when they irritate me, not because I&#039;m racist, but because I know it pushes their buttons.)

So I guess I&#039;m trying to say that Americans seriously look too deeply into issues to find supposed racism when in fact in many cases racism is not there. Say I got into a fight at a bus stop and the guy who I hit happened to be black. The fact that me and this guy just plain didn&#039;t like each other for no specific reason means nothing because apparently I&#039;m only allowed to hate people who&#039;re the same color as me.</description>

		<description>The man in this photo is apparently a moron.  Anyone could see that he himself is a racist in his thinking and is representing his own family and his racial group very, very poorly.  
  As far as everyone bringing up the President, we have gotten far, far off of the subject.  The President can promise anything, fail to deliver it, and we will call him a liar.  If he foolishly promised to walk on water, and failed, we would be foolish in expecting him to do so in the first place, and calling him a liar would make us look foolish, too.  A nation cannot change at any level unless it changes at the personal, family, and community level first.  Rakim has got a whole lot to learn, as all of us do, how to &quot;get ahead&quot; in life, but we all realize at some point that the &quot;getting ahead&quot; race is not with others, but with ourselves.  People in the community will &quot;get ahead&quot; when they realize that wealth is created only by profit...not computers, &quot;good jobs&quot;, or even a college education.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sure Louis won&#039;t see this, but he doesn&#039;t seem to understand the concept of an average. If the average IQ for people from Boise is 102, that doesn&#039;t therefore mean that a random individual from Boise will have that IQ. Averages have nothing to do with individuals - they only have meaning when you&#039;re looking at populations.

So the fact that the average IQ for blacks is lower (which, being a black man, I actually believe) doesn&#039;t lower my IQ of 154. Of course, I&#039;m really pale with wavy hair...&gt;_&gt;;

I&#039;ll admit that were it not for the amount of European DNA I&#039;ve got, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s a chance in hell I&#039;d be as smart as I am. But I am that smart despite what you expect when you look at me. Averages are irrelevant - only one person shows up for a job interview at a time.</description>

		<description>You have no choice but to permit me to gloat like a fat, drunken, lederhosen-wearing elf dancing in front of a cracklin&#039; fire about the fact that the man variously known as &quot;The One&quot; and &quot;The Messiah&quot; has already faced four* significant scandals regarding high-profile politicians in his demimonde.

Last night at the ATL Gangbangers&#039; M*A*S*H Unit—I&#039;ve never seen a medical establishment with metal detectors before—that is formally known as Grady Memorial Hospital&#039;s emergency room, I heard one dark rhino of a female medical worker bellow out to another, &quot;Inauguration Day&#039;s comin, baby! It&#039;s OUR time now!&quot;
Meet the new boss. More melanin and better at shooting hoops than the old boss.
Yes&#039;m, you could point to any epaulet-wearing ruler in any extant African country, and they&#039;d ALL be far less corrupt than American politicians. Duh! That&#039;s a no-brainer! Only a racist would argue otherwise.

Very few will believe that I sincerely wanted (and want) Obama to be a great president. There are few things I&#039;d like more than if he actually were a new sort of politician. But for fuck&#039;s sake—this is a man who subtitled his autobiography A Story of Race and Inheritance but was brilliant enough to convince people he was a post-racial candidate. He repeatedly said his opponents would bring up his race during the campaign although they never did. He had much of the world believing that the election had nothing to do with race, although it&#039;s clear it was the only significant topic on the plate. This was a chance for every forward-thinking white person in America to expunge themselves of their warped-and-shattered historical guilt complex with the flick of a lever.

Many of them responded with zombie-eyed, cultlike fervor to his election. Some went so far as to claim that the candidate of HopeTM and ChangeTM had singlehandedly eliminated the need for skepticism. Like hypnotized sheep, they all insisted that anyone who was remotely cynical about Obama&#039;s innate saintliness was, indeed, a racist.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii (or Kenya), grew up in Indonesia, was schooled in Massachusetts, and yet he chose the most corrupt city in American politics in order to start his political career. And still, because of race, many refuse (and probably still refuse) to admit that any of this might smell bad.

To them, he is still an angel. An angel who surrounds himself with corrupt politicians, but an angel nonetheless.

Because of race. Because black people couldn&#039;t possibly be human and thus subject to the same sort of moral frailties as those evil whites.
A dozen years ago I published a book which insisted that history is far better understood through an economic prism than a racial one. The book was dismissed as racist.

So what sort of ChangeTM can we expect?

It&#039;s simple:

Instead of a collapsing economy brought about by the soulless financiers of shady international land deals and stupid wars, we&#039;ll have a collapsing economy brought about by the soulless financiers of shady domestic land deals and stupid war movies.
America, you deserve it for being stupid.

*I keep having to revise the number of scandals. So far, I&#039;m talking about Rod Blagojevich, Bill Richardson, Timothy Geithner, and Tom Daschle.</description>

		<description>First of all, yes, he is a racist if I lower myself to the standard of taking offense at different ethnic observations as do blacks, so on the point of being politically correct, yea he is not. 

A moron? Yes.

Marvin: He represented himself as a black man claiming that blacks can&#039;t use computers. I&#039;d say he is &quot;trying&quot; to speak for the black community. His statement is indicative of what we all know but can&#039;t say. Blacks feel they are not equal to whites, and that ever present feeling is what keeps them under our feet. In short, they wont try, because trying, they think, will fail. I myself know this to be true, through my own experiences, and while there is a gander of white people screaming at any other white person who dare state truths which are discriminatory yet true, the truth is what it is. I dare to say, if you support suppressing, denying, or manipulating the truth in any way, you are a coward and a liar, and you do not deserve your freedom.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, nothing is black and white, but truth is still the truth. 

Not so long ago, LA passed laws requiring any company doing buisness with the city to disclose any profits they have made off slavery in the passed. This exact type of thing is what keeps any progress from being made. 

I myself, my ancestors moved to this great Country after slavery was abolished, and even if they had not, my concious would be clear. I will not, shall not submit to the will of a people who have not personally suffered under the whip. They can kiss my white proud ass. 

Black people should get over it, really, and truly the news which practices in shock should stop creating imagined disparities between races.

Also, I dont give a hoot if any other Countries like America, I know we live in the Best land a man or woman may. The only thing I care about, is America, and Americans. Africa, China, Japan, Russia, etc... can all kiss our American asses, because at the end of the day, everyone looks out for themselves and other to the best of their ability.

I have seen and lived in other countries, and in no other country have I witnessed such racist attitudes that blacks have in America. Actually im wrong, the Muslims are racist too, but they are very nice to you anyways, they have Manners.</description>
