Instead of addressing "you" specificially, it's "you people". It's on talk radio a lot. "You conservatives" are racist in general. Therefore you are racist. If some or most members of the group are this or that way, then so are you. The sword cuts both ways when you realize you are just a member of a group as well. And liberals are far more racist hence the constant blaming of some other group.<br /><br />I disagree with Jesse Jackson that blacks are subhuman and incapable of racism and the full range of vices and virtues available to all humans. <br /><br />How does the victim mentality sustain itself? Welfare, food stamps, social security, medicare, and on and on. Your subsistence is taken care of so you can afford to blame everybody else. The checks keep coming even if you are resentful and uncivil. In a capitalist economy, you would have to adjust your attitude or you would starve.Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786620783665773795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509670000070008749.post-34677498967382606152009-10-27T19:56:47.319-07:002009-10-27T19:56:47.319-07:00I know it was a long read folks.

It still didn’t say anything new or old or of any resolve, but it “IS” an important issue to our country as a people and can’t be limited to 4 or 5 paragraphs. <br /><br />We are a people…ALL OF US. We are American’s, and as a nation should pull together… not against each other. <br /><br />The reason for this comment is, while reading other blogs, I found one called americansoldierswife.com (which is a heartfelt and really nice web site/blog) and within it I found a web site called Black Americans for Real Change with a good web site at blackarc.weebly.com And it shows a video of William Owens Jr. at the “Values Voters Summit 2008”, and also has his book introduction “Obama, Why Black America Should Have Doubts”, posted on their web site, for those of you who might think that “I” don’t like Barack Obama just because he’s black. <br /><br />There ARE real reasons to question our current administration, and real reason why we should band together as a nation, not separate ourselves as a black and white race.Conscious Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08743212995077282250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509670000070008749.post-49143891507611685162009-10-26T16:08:24.100-07:002009-10-26T16:08:24.100-07:00wow, a small book. hope you had enough water to di...wow, a small book. hope you had enough water to distinquish the flames that resulted from so much typing. lol<br /><br />"Racism…. It seems “exclusive” to America, and its history and its present day."<br /><br />nahhh its not rxclusive to us. we have just been a natuion that is not afraid of airing out the dirty laundry. its a sign of the openness that is found in this nation. something not to be ashamed of but something to be proud of in this world of closed monogamous societies. that is what Obama has spent his time apologizing for ever since he was elected.<br /><br />exclusive, nah its a sign where people can declare their grievances without fearing the consequences. that is what Obama is apologizing for since he was elected.<br /><br />we may be or may have been a nation that have discrimated against a certain race but we have never been a nation that has tried to exterminate that race as some nations some have sought to do in the past. it has never been as is not an advocate of it now while others are advocating now.<br /><br />in fact, right now i no longer think the term racism applies anymore. victimism has replaced it.The Griperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937560474548021334noreply@blogger.com
