The problem with writing blog posts is in limiting myself to one topic at a time when there are many things going on. Well, today, I’m not doing that. Instead, I feel like talking about a few different things, so here we go! DÉJÀ VU ALL OVER AGAIN So the House & Senate are once [...]
RACISM is alive and well in the United States. For the record, I really like Morgan Freeman as an actor. I loved him in “Driving Miss Daisy” and “The Shawshank Redemption,” both of which would have fallen apart without his acting skills. I thought he was perfectly cast for the role of “God” in “Bruce [...]
February is “Black History Month,” but does SEGREGATING our History really help to overcome our Racial Prejudice, or just perpetuate it?
Yesterday’s “Restoring Honor” Rally held by Glenn Beck at the Washington Mall gathered “thousands” of supporters (try hundreds of thousands, according to the estimated capacity of the areas literally filled with people) who stood together in support of a restoration of honor and faith in America by Americans. There was a strong religious overtone to the entire ceremony, and absolutely zero politics. And on the 47th Anniversary of the “I Have a Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., there were references of Dr. King’s vision of Racial Equality and Individual Responsibility embedded in the words of almost every speaker and every topic shared, with heavy emphasis to the part so often omitted by those who quote Dr. King’s speech: “the CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER.”
Racism and prejudice abound in the United States. A few years ago, I would have argued to the opposite point, giving examples of how far we’ve come since the days of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Protests of the 1960’s. In truth, we have come a long way from the days of Dr. King, the KKK burning crosses and lynching black voters who had the courage to stand for their rights and pursue EQUALITY in America. But “Equality” has taken on a new meaning for some, and it is unfortunate that, as with the radical few who would put on white sheets and commit crimes of hatred and prejudice, thus painting a picture of bigotry and hatred by all whites against blacks, that, in this day and age, there are those who now spew the same kind of vile bigotry from the side of minorities. One such piece of human refuse is a guy by the name of “King Samir Shabazz” of the New Black Panther Party.
Anybody else out there ticked off for being called a racist? I figured we all know what “racist” means, but just in case, I decided to look it up. According to Merriam Webster, a racist is: A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an [...]
For those who didn’t get it from the title, I’ll say it again: reverse racism IS racism! It’s probably the simplest, most absolute statement I’ve ever made in one of these blogs, and it is the kind of direct, straightforward thinking that True Conservatives are known for.
With Newsweek putting a cover story out last week claiming we’re all born as racists, I’ve really got to wonder what officially classifies as racist. Let’s discuss some events that have happened in the past week and think about what you would call racist: A white Congressman claims that a black President is lying about something (and, [...]
