I'm Embarrassed to be White

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


The other day a skinny white boy came to me complaining about his teacher’s “anti-white racist remarks.” These remarks were made while the teacher was lecturing in a course here at UNC-White (Oops! I mean, UNC-Wilmington). After listing a bunch of bad things white people have done to black people, the professor stated in front of a racially-mixed audience: “You know … I’m actually embarrassed to be white.”

The student thought this made his teacher look like an “anti-white racist.” But looks can be deceiving. In reality, like most white “liberals,” the teacher is really a white supremacist.

In order to demonstrate the true nature of this professor’s racism, I suggested the student spend a few days emulating his professor’s conduct. He could start in the very class where he heard the “I’m actually embarrassed to be white” remark. Here are some specific suggestions I gave to the skinny white boy:

When a white person comes into class late, tell him “You make me embarrassed to be white.”

When a white person’s cell phone goes off in class, tell him “You make me embarrassed to be white.”

When a white person says something dumb in class, tell him “You make me embarrassed to be white.”

And, finally, when his white professor says “You know … I’m actually embarrassed to be white” say “You know … I’m actually embarrassed you’re white, too. For once, we agree on something.”

Try this yourself and see how long it takes for the nearest black person to realize that you have higher expectations for white people simply because of the color of their skin. Since this places you at risk of being labeled a white supremacist, or getting your skinny white ass kicked, I will do the following (so I cannot be accused of personal cowardice):

When I see the Director of Diversity at UNCW, I will say that Dog Chapman “Sure makes me embarrassed to be white. I wish he was black. Then I wouldn’t be embarrassed because whites and blacks are not members of the same race.”

When I see our token black political scientist at UNCW, I will say that “Senator Joe from Delaware makes me embarrassed to be white. He’s pretty inarticulate for a white guy.”

When I see the Chancellor of UNCW, I will tell her that her decision to put herself in an ad in the otherwise all-black “Black Pages” - a version of the “White Pages” meant to advertise black owned businesses - “makes me embarrassed to be white.” She’ll understand what I mean because she’s already trying desperately to be black.

Finally, I’ll go to the next all black faculty meeting and introduce myself to black faculty saying “I thank God that none of you are white. This segregation thing has been a terrible embarrassment to my great race. But you people go right ahead.”

Then, after I’m done apologizing for all the dumb things white people do, I’ll spend the rest of the afternoon at the tanning bed.

But, of course, this business of trying to walk out on the white race is surely not the white thing to do (Oops! I mean the right thing to do). Instead of having enlightened “liberals” - like the skinny white boy’s professor - leave the white race we could declare certain whites to be “in-authentically white.” Let me explain.

For years on our campuses, blacks who do not agree with affirmative action – or any other mainstream “liberal” policies – have been labeled “in-authentically black.” By dubbing blacks “in-authentic” for other reasons - being too educated, too grammatically correct, or too family-oriented – “liberals” have half-succeeded in fulfilling their dream of white supremacy in the name of “diversity” and “tolerance.”

Now, by purging the white race of all of those who do not live up to the “liberal” ideals of white moral superiority, we can create a truly enlightened master race. Sound confusing and ridiculous? Welcome to UNCW (The University of Non-Caucasian Wannabes).

People at the Office of Campus Diversity tell me I need to learn to be more tolerant – especially of white “liberals” with a superior vision of the way things ought to be. But I just can’t tolerate white supremacy. I could tolerate a black supremacist. But I expect so much more from white people.

In a nutshell
racism is racism no matter WHERE it comes from.

Thanks Dr A!

Double whamey
on you Mike. You are white and heterosexual male. The express image of all things evil. Dog makes me embarassed to be a heterosexual male too!

things that make you go hmmmmmm
Interesting and funny. Though Adams the Instructor Supremacist can't seem to let go of his tardiness and cell phone Martinet phobia.
Pathelogical that.

Course the real underlying Truth here is that most of the Racism in America these days is being generated by Non-Whites.

Question to the commiequeers: Would it have been Racist to be an Anti-Abolitionist in 1859?
If so, why are you enabling the Reconquista Movement which has as its twin objectives the advancement of the Mexican Jeffe culture and the establishment of a permanent underclass of laborers in the US--both modern day furtherances of Slavery?
Further, why are you (and the FlatEarthIsolationist Kill the NeoCon CINOs and Pseudolibertine ians) enabling the Sandnazis to enslave MILLIONS of WOMEN?

Conservatives need to start thinking some things all the way through.

WIN, DEFEND, RESTORE, REDUCE, SECURE

the big mick

Tax White Leftist "Lyberal" Hypocrites..

... tax them and use the money for political handouts to minorities. Confiscate *their* property, take away *thier* cushy corner-office jobs and toss *their* kids out of college. Confiscate *their* trust funds (actually, all trust funds...).

They are the ones who bleat about "white privlege" and how guilty they feel about what they have. Well, I don't have it, *I* didn't take "it" away from anyone else, and if they don't want to have it, they can give it up.

So instead of taking away my chance for advancement, why not just give up their advanced status?

Why not have some REAL affirmative action - toss every white leftist onto skid row and give their stuff to random black men. Wonder how long that would be tolerated....

...or how much longer the same thing being done to poor white men will be tolerated without worse rioting in America's colleges....

Hey!
Wasn't Bill the first Black President? He sure makes me embarrassed. (Period.)


Pirate
Pirate,

I am not sure if you have read the book Do As I Say, Not As I Do but I would highly recommend reading it. I think you would enjoy the book since it exposes some of the biggest liberal names as hypocrites. The chapters on Michael Moore and Bobwa Streisand are alone worth the price of the book in my opinion.

Eat Up With Guilt
The thought process producing the 'embarrased to be white' sentiment has done more to damage the lives of Blacks in America than the Klan could ever hope to. The Black family has been broken, most Black children are born out of wedlock and most of the people in jail are Black. All of this is a result of the effort to 'help' the Black race by a segment of society that is wallowing in guilt over the color of their own skin. They should feel guilt but it should not be for the sins of the father it should be for what they themselves have done to damage so many lives.

Over and over
the solution is so simple. Reward merit. All other well intentioned means merely lead to abuse, sloth and wasted effort. The world over, the societies which reward merit are successful to the extent contibution and rectitude are rewarded and protected. Cultures which reward other behavior, such as status at birth, proclivity towards sociopathic violence, or religion lead to misery and grief.

Hey, sargeant relic and private
I think David Duke is looking for more dues-paying supporters..he's also worried about the loss of white power in America, you might do well throwing your chis into his hat.

He also hates brown immigrants coming here. I think you can take a year-ong subscription to his web-site and even get a T-Shirt in return.

Like my friend says
Don't you dare look at the color of her skin to assume anything! You use her abilities, smarts and character over the color of her skin or take a hike. People like Coretta rock. It isn't about her skin and it never is unless the left would like more victims...and she is not, nor will she ever be.

Race this
A black gunman robbed a Brinks guard at the mall yesterday near where I live. The ATMs were being replenished. The black gunman rented a car and drove to the mall from the large city near my town, probably with an accomplice. The black gunman put a pistol to the head of the guard but the guard pulled his gun and shot the black robber in the side and in the mouth. The guard was shot in the leg. Bullets were flying though the crowded Christmas shopping mall. How many people would know the schedule of a Brinks Armored Car? I listened to several TV reports of the attempted robbery, at no time did I hear anyone, including the police, say that the robber was black. He was called robber, gunman, suspect, shooter, but not a word about black. If the robber was white I would have heard it as the lead in all TV mentions of the robbery along with photos of the perp.
Black crime in this country is the elephant in the living room. I'm embarrassed.

calm.touj
Sgt Relic's post seems like an intelligent perspective to me and I miss whatever racism you read into it. Are you the professor mentioned in the article?

Nevertheless, thanks for the David Duke tip. I'll look into it.

Too Early
I guess I'm just too early to read this since only calm.touj has posted an empty mind response.

I thought for sure that hald, robert, cb or other brain stems would be all over this showing their short comings.

I have a dream
That david duke and al charlatan are marooned together on a desert island.

THIS JUST IN - Us white folks lost the monopoly on racism years ago.

Didn't you get the memo?

calm.touj
Yea and what political party was David (KKK) Duke running for DEM,DEM,DEM,DEM, ands your party is for the supporting the black man who has 10 babies and want support them because the DEMS will create programs to take care of them as long as they stay on the Plantation and vote DEM. This is the DEMS ideology about Blacks, we give them food stamps,werlfare,free housing free medical and how darethey get educated and become successful then the DEM party bashes them for becoming successful and getting ahead in America, how dare they do that since the DEM Party gave them all those things to keep them on the PLANTATION. How Dare they leave the DEM PARTY PLANTATION. Look at all the successful Black people in America and what do they all have in Common. They broke away from the DEM PLANTATION. Clear and simple

Racism ...
the foothold for thought control and hate crimes by polititians. I never really cared if someone was racist or anti-semetic. Unless government is involved there is no rule of forced association. As long as folks keep their hands to themselves .. away fom me and mine and our property and anticipate a proper reaction for running at the mouth; things move along pretty well.
About the only Hate I am guilty of is a deep loathing of polititians whose personal character I equate with child molesters and rapists and lawyers. Oops! Most of them are lawyers.

WHAAAT?
Ashamed of being white? The same white race which contributed 99% of all inventions to humanity, to every race?

Re photo : I have seen (Flix movie) "Dog" Chapman arresting Chapman - it was an example of a perfect arrest.

Adams writes
"I expect so much more from white people".
Isn't it contradictory to the tone of his article??

thinker
Has your sarcasm meter broken? or is this the first Adams article you have read?

it seems disingenuous
to suggest that liberals are white supremacists without giving the context of the profesor's remarks. would a german who expressed embarrassment over the holocaust be a jewish supremacist? i think white people have a pretty long hisory of doing some pretty nasty things to black people in america. i understand that many here believe that liberal affirmative action programs, though well intentioned, actually do more harm than good to the african american community. i think that is a compelling argument, but to call liberals white supremacists seems just as stupid as liberals calling those who oppose affirmative action "racist." but maybe that was the point of the column. maybe there was actually more snarky humor here than actual substance. i wouldn't expect anything more from a conservative, though, so i guess i'm a lib supremacist.

White People

Not only gave us the cotton gin, they also gave us liberalism.

God, GOD am I embarrassed.

Great Quote!
"Can't we all just get along?" Rodney King

LOLOL

novacaine
Bob, you are not on novacaine. otherwise, you would be laughing at a very funny column. teeheeeheeeeheeeheee. hahahahaha. hohohohoho. (sorry if that was racially offensive) ...

I am frequently embarassed
I often hear people who claim to be well-educated make woeful solecisms, whereupon I say, “I am embarrassed to be articulate.”
I often hear people who claim to be well-educated make very illogical arguments, whereupon I say, “I am embarrassed to be reasonable.”
I often see people who claim to be well-mannered make clumsy attempts at seduction, whereupon I say, “I am embarrassed to be sexual.”
I often encounter people who claim to be cultured calumniating everything associated with Western Civilisation, whereupon I say, “I am embarrassed to be civilised.”
I often learn of people who claim to be enlightened apologise for various historic actions, whereupon I say, “I hereby apologise for all the harm and suffering caused by the War of the Spanish Succession.”
I often hear people utter complete non sequiturs, whereupon I say “bring back the eight-ball over for home tests, and get rid of the ‘designated hitter’ rule.”

Racism vs. white supremacist
Saying, “I’m actually embarrassed to be white”

Does not make a person a white supremacist, it make one a racist.

Most people don't even know the difference.

For the record a Racist, is a person who believe in the idea of race.
An idea which has been proven beyond a doubt to have no merit.

Race, does not exist.

I am not White, I am of German decent.
Further more I wouldn't want to be white.

Whiteness is the last refuge of people with no ethnic identity.

But because, in the US in particular, so many people have no ethnic identity, many people have accepted racial theory and now identify themselves and others as "white."

And it is this identify, particularly as it relates to others, which creates white supremacy.

In other words one need not be a racist in order to benefit form other peoples racism... And when that benefit helps whites at the exclusion of non-whites.... It is called white supremacy.

All have sinned
Pick a group, any group---everyone has messed up.

What a truly UNIQUE perspective!
Thanks for the article!

Poisonous racism...
Let's see here....I can't think of one racial group anytime, anywhere on Earth that is not guilty to some degree of racism (including my own). So, that means everyone is guilty. True. Also true: everyone is a VICTIM of racism. I find the people who scream racism without the ability to back up the accusation are the racists themselves. The quickest way (albeit not the only way)to become a victim of racism is to be a racist yourself.

It is NOT race that determines a person's worth-it IS character! Thomas Sowell is a frequent writer on this forum and I have the utmost respect for him. He is a man of CHARACTER! Oh, yeah, and he is black.

Racist hatred only comes about when the racist has no clue as to real history of his/her own ethnicity. For example, black slaves were sold into slavery by their very own tribes, yet, that gets no attention. Recently, a friend of mine overheard a policeman (black) talking to three young boys (all black). The policeman told the boys, "You need to read a history book," to which one of the boys responded, "We don't read history books." Gee, golly, and we wonder where this mindset comes from!

And, yep, by golly, we can lay a LOT of the blame for this twisted mindset on liberal ideology perpetrated by DEMS!

Confusion...
Glad I had a difficult time keeping things straight....that makes me....what?

Dog Chapman
Ole "Dog" there made me embarrassed to be white long before he opened his mouth. Him and his group
dress like clowns and act like fools, but I don't expect much from people that have fried their brains with drugs as admitted by "Dog" himself.
Anyone that calls themselves "Dog" usually live up to the name.

"Soft bigotry" on both sides
Have you noticed that in a group discussion about race, the one white guy who most vehemently defends blacks while attacking his fellow whites usually has no black friends. He doesn't know any blacks, never lived near any blacks, doesn't really want to be around any blacks. In fact he's usually afraid of blacks.

Yet he seems to "know" all about them, feels immense sympathy for them, and has a laundry list of entitlements that we "owe" them.

Most whites who are honest about reality will admit that they've tried to make friends with different blacks (sometimes successfully) but that it was very difficult initially. As many blacks are conditioned (via black media and peer pressure) to ...not so much as hate, but rather resent whites. And it's very hard to make friends with someone who resents you from the getgo.

Mike, 5 stars again!
Loribme, well said! Racism has existed and still exists in every corner of the world by every race against every race. The only way to counter it is to judge each person you meet by their character.

white lib guilt
those on the left are already embarrassed to be white. They continually flog themselves over all the perceived sins they are told they have committed plus all the guilt for the sins they didn't commit. But life is like the game of lumberjack, everyone must hold their end of the log. If the supposed black culture is so advante garde why are so many living a distructive life style. Yet white libs continually browbeat themselves that they are the cause for the lack of progress in the black community. Buty perhaps once the white libs drain their bank accounts, sewll off all their assetts and establish their great funs for reparations they can again feel good about themselves. They will have absolved themselves of the sins of their ancestors, even if there were none present in america and blacks can then say we have finally been compensated for their fantasy belief that slavery made america wealthy and all whites benefitted while they were kept in poverty without any hope of enjoying the good life that all white racists enjoy. Perhaps then white libs could truthfully say they are no longer embarrassed to be white

Waste of time
I have absolutely no idea of what this column is all about. Was it even needed?

Off-Topic But Choice
Sometimes I see an item somewhere that just screams to be introduced at townhall. Today there is no topic board that's perfect for it, so I chose this one because it at least is on the PC topic. Here's the item, and forgive me for wandering, but you will soon see my point.

Newspaper yesterday: a company that supplies shopping mall Santas has instructed its Santas this year not to say "Ho, ho, ho" because "Ho" is now considered to a bad word (think: Don Imus). Instead, Santas are taught to say "Ha Ha Ha" or "Hee Hee Hee".

I'm not making this up. For the doubters, just now I googled "Santa ho ho ho" and found several hits---Yahoo News carries it, for one.

So, in the spirit of Christmas, let us liberals (me) and conservatives (you) agree about one thing at least: this is the dumbest rule I have ever heard.

Waste of time
I have absolutely no idea of what this column is all about. Was it even needed?

Begin with ourselves.
Each one of us has made comments that can be construed as being 'racist'. The litmus test is vast. But, to stop the hatred and bigotry each of us
must be willing to examine why we fell the way we do.
Just looking at the Dog the Bounty Hunter fiasco will tell you how a few stupid remarks can destroy
a persons life. He will now spend the rest of is life making up for his foolishness.

If a person examines history, he will certainly find
racial hatred in every era. But America has done some horrible things to Blacks and Indians. It is
not something we should be proud of. We need to seek
healing from GOD and learn from our mistakes. But,
being perpetual victims is a waste of time.

Solution: stop acting white
If that professor is embarrassed that he's white, he should stop acting white and start acting black. At least he can do that much to atone for the sin of his skin color.

Hmm
If you're half white and half black, does half of you hate yourself and the other half embarrass yourself. I'm confused

lilly
I heard about this, too! It happened in Australia, of all places, and from what I hear, people are pretty upset about it!

interesting point

Race-baiting leftists are actually white supremacists.

I had never thought of this, but the logic behind it seems pretty solid.


Boy are they going to be pissed when it is pointed out that it is not conservatives, minutemen, etc. who are the intellectual kinfolk of the KKK, it is actually the leftists.

For leftist race-baiters to discover that they are the bosom buddies of white supremacists gives them yet more reason to be embarrassed for being white.

Lilly
Amen

The hypocrisy...
...of the Liberal, Progressive, elitist Democrats. Look, try and explain to your liberal friends and families how racist they are being by treating so-called minorties differently than they treat other whites.

First of all, I live in the Los Angeles area where minorities out number whites by a large margin. However, our political leadership still insists on portraying them as minorities in need of special help.

When I graduated from my high school in 1977 56% of the school was hispanic, today it is 97% hispanic. The invasion is complete here in Los Angeles. SAVE YOUR CITY before it's too late.

PS. Sorry for being white.


The Utility of this Article
This article confirms two things: (1) Mike Adams is a racist and (2) Mike Adams is an idiot.

Focusing on race alone
Is the folly of idiots. Race is of ZERO importance. Culture and personal behavour is important, not race. Race is something you have no control over, it's like saying to only hire people with red hair.

We would all be better off if you focused on our similarities instead of our "uniqueness".

wwsword
I agree. That's all I got out of the article. I dropped a lot of acid in the 60s, too.

Dr. North; yes, this issue is
in desperate need of discussion. White people are in a steep decline as far as population goes. In the state that I live in, California, in some cities, including large ones like L.A., there is already what is called a minority-majority. With this change in demographics comes a drastic change in political climate, and not for the better. Living here, you could say that I have seen a glimpse into the future of what the U.S. is going to become, and it is scary if you are a conservative. As we all know, when illegal immigrants gain citizenship, they tend to continue voting democrat because they are usually working at low income jobs which require that they will need government assistance with food, housing, medical, childcare, etc. So what has happened here is that the state is so dominated by democrats in all areas of executive, legislative, and judicial governance that there is no longer the kind of healthy checks and balances that keep partisanship under control. The most single most effective advantage that the left has had, has been ethno-centric interest groups, such as la raza, and the naacp, and ethno-centric student groups such as mecha. There are dozens of these groups for every race and nationality you can think of, with the exception of one ethnic group, white. Just look at L.A. who has a mayor the was a member of the chicano separatist student group MECHA. My point is that white people need to be able to organize groups to talk about, and lobby for or against legislation which directly affects whites, such as affirmative action, and hate crime laws, without that group being called a hate group.

Lilly
"So, in the spirit of Christmas, let us liberals (me) and conservatives (you) agree about one thing at least: this is the dumbest rule I have ever heard."

Agreed. But I don't need "the spirit of Christmas" to concur. How about the spirit of common sense?

Red necked Crackers live again
All the ills of our country are caused by uppity blacks and their commielibqueer fellow travelers. Wow

I am trying to remember the last time I saw whites, who embarrass me, marching for the right to vote, facing water cannons and police dogs. In a southern state. 100 years after they were supposed to have it. Didn't happen in the west or north, only the south. I believe UNC is in the old south? Where Dr(?) Mike allegedly teaches.

Yes, I am embarrassed at being white, especially when the religious taliban of the American White Right opens it's collective mouth, ignores history, and cherry picks the odd ball remark to "prove and demonstrate" how superior they are. And, by extension, I get lumped in with them, merely because I am white. That is truly embarrassing.

Uber and Skiman, non-racist idiots
To Uber, Skiman, and all the Race Deniers-

Why don't you tell the NAACP that there's no such thing as race? Or how about scientists searching for a cure to Sickle Cell Anemia? Or doctors who prescribe different medications to patients of different ethnicities afflicted with the same illness? You will never solve a problem if you don't look at it realistically, and denying race exists is to deny the nose on your face. Wise up.

Brilliant
I am always a tad nervous when conservatives take on race issues, since the left usually "owns" the issue.

This column, however, was exactly bang-on point. The Democratic Party has been, and continues to this day being a white-supremacist party. From Judge Douglas to Jim Crom to Governor Wallace to Al Sharpton, Democrats have shown a consistent belief in the inferiority of blacks to whites, holding them to differing standards.


Bleeding heart liberal
Did you want to respond to Dr Adams' column?


Bob Novakaine
I wouldn't try to find too much substance in any of Adams' column...if you notice, they're generally about him.

If you want substance, I would suggest Tolstoy, the Durants, Toynbee, Hamilton, or even a Ken Burns movie.

Adams, Hamm, Coulter, are more about ego and smoke.

Bleeding Heart lib
The only thing that you forgot to mentioned is that the KKK was made up of Southern Baptist Democrats who by the way were also the SLAVE OWNERS IN THE SOUTH . But remember you LIBS cut the cake when it comes to racism just ask KKK BYRD (DEM) in congress how many blacks he strung up in his day. Ha Ha Ha.Also every RED NECK Cracker I have ran into seems to be from the DEM PARTY and still fly their Confederate flags.

What?
>"In reality, like most white liberals, the
>teacher is really a white supremacist."

I'm without words. I can't figure out if this convoluted poorly written rant is just inane or ridiculous. WHATS THE POINT? (something negative about those dirty liberals)

I hate to show my prejudice against Mike Adams, but I can assume one thing about this, its from a FAR RIGHT WING WACKO, anti everyone but uber conservative who are registered partisan republicans, with life time NRA membership & members of Bill-Oh's and Rush-pill-popper's fan club. Talk about racist:

Bill-O (Loofah lover): "And, I could not believe it, it was just like a white restaurant."

Rush: "Obama is a magic negro." (plus doz of other offense racist remarks).

Bleeding Heart Liberal
Before I leave for my Real Life, I want to award you for the best post of the day.

I can think of lots of whites who should be ashamed, not because they were white but because they were photographed standing at the swinging feet of a lynched victim; because they wouldn't allow all people to join the same restaurant, the same schools, or drink at the same fountains, or because they set dogs on people fighting for their rights.

You don't have to be white to do this, just conservative, racist and/or stupid. (You can find the newest incarnations of these people amongst the posters on TH or the "illegal Immigration" crowd. They disown their racism by accusing other whites of "reverse racism" (but I suspect anybody with a 75+ IQ understands what that's all about).

Bye, Folks, have a nice day!

jet pilot
the magic negro quote was from the la times. Rush did NOT originate that phrase but merely repeated what others had said. Happy to bust your racist balloon

Chuck
You win the most stupid post award for the day.

Southern Democrats were historically very conservative , which is why the South is now essentially republican.

Stop trying to disown the history of conservative ideals and conservatives in general. You can accuse liberals, but you can't make it work.

Touj-bag
Well dont that beat all, the reason I know was becuase my Grandfather and Father were members of the KKK and they were FDR and JFK Democrats. So if you didnt grow up in the South and live here today you would be shocked. The South isnt that Conservative, the reason the South votes allot REPS is becuase they hate the way the DEMS have given everything to the black man so they vote on their still KKK ideologies. Now dispute that one, I am ashame sometime of my families background but that is the way of the SOUTH. Hell just ask KKK BRYD(DEM) he can explain it better to you.

Loribme
"Let's see here....I can't think of one racial group anytime, anywhere on Earth that is not guilty to some degree of racism (including my own). So, that means everyone is guilty"

Well yes and no. Historically, Racism, bigotry, imperialism, and colonialism are much more prevalent in European and Arab culture than in any other culture. Africans and Native Americans do not have a consistent history of invading, stealing and occupying foreign continents and cultures, the way Europeans and Arabs do.


Black Africans rarely, if ever, ventured outside their continent to exploit the land and cultures of others. This is specifically a European and Arab cultural trait.

Whites murdered by blacks, lynchings
More whites are murdered by blacks every year in the US than the TOTAL number of blacks lynched by whites in the history of the South (http://www.vdare.com/taylor/050913_crime.htm)
Stop living in the past.
Before you call the report "racist" remember that it is from FBI and Dept of Justice stats.

Clinton
You DEMS can thank Clinton on how the South Votes today. The South consist more than just Black churches and cotton fields, we in the South know becuse the Drive By Media used to show Clintoons coming out of some Black church every Sunday and you call REPS religious, wow Clinton new who to wooooooo and it wasnt whitey thats for sure. Remember you DEMS made Presdent CLINTOON the first Black President.

Anthony Thomas is a racist?
Anthony Thomas-

Yes, you're right, racism, warmaking and stealing land is almost entirely the fault of whitey and North Africans. Blacks and Amerinds never established boundaries between sundry tribes by warfare. They laughed and skipped through the meadows, holding hands with Bambi and Smokey the Bear. Minor disputes were resolved with a poobah and a peace pipe. No one had any weapons and no one even knew how to get angry. Paradise lost.

For Chuck: Dem>Rep in South, Part I
The obituary of Henry Dent Jr, "Nixon aide [who] guided campaign targeting region's white voters" appeared in the Chicago Tribune on October 3. "When President Lyndon Johnson championed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, some Republican strategists saw a potential bonanza in the South. They thought their party could reap the votes of white people uneasy with Democrats---if not downright hostile to them---for advancing the cause of black people...[the South was held for Nixon] by reassuring Southerners that, as president, Nixon would not be too aggressive on civil rights issues...Mr Dent...helped articulate the Southern Strategy...Its advocates call it a legitimate appeal to people left on the sidelines [by Civil Rights legislation and] affirmative action...its detractors call it racism cloaked in code words like "law and order". Chuckie, please go to Part II.

Mr. Thomas Pease ...
What passes for historicism among liberals is just mind bogglingly, breath takingly stupid.

Saying:

"Historically, "Racism, bigotry, imperialism, and colonialism are much more prevalent in European and Arab culture than in any other culture. Africans and Native Americans do not have a consistent history of invading, stealing and occupying foreign continents and cultures, the way Europeans and Arabs do."

... is so painfully ignorant that it simply curls the toes. Are you even marginally aware of the history of inter and intra tribal conflict in either Africa or the Americas? To suggest that they are somehow free of "invasion" "theft" or "the occupation" of "foreign cultures" is as idiotic an idea I've seen put forward by an upright mammal.

I'll give you the fact that tribal cultures never stopped preying on each other long enough to develop the technological ability invade a "foreign continent" ... whatever that little plumb is supposed to mean. But, one wonders what Shaka Zulu (for example) would answer if asked why he foreswore invading "foreign continents."

God's eyeballs ... you people are dumb.

re: Anthony Thomas post at 1:03pm
I can't speak about sub saharan African history but I do know a fair bit about Native American pre European migration history. For instance originally the 7 nations of the Soiux were located on the east coast of North American. When the Algonquin tribes formed the Algonquin nation and pushed them west over the mountains into the plains. The Soiux pushed the Native Americans in the plains into the south western areas and into what is now Mexico. Those Native Americans pushed the locale Native Americans out their homes and further south. So your contention that the Native Americans weren't imperialist or conquest minded is simply a peace pipe dream.

"Just looking at the Dog the Bounty Hunter fiasco will tell you how a few stupid remarks can destroy
a persons life. He will now spend the rest of is life making up for his foolishness."

No, he'll spend the rest of his life making up for PC TOTALITARIANISM.

He had a perfect right in a conversation with his son to use the n-word! It is in communist totalitarian regimes that they denigrate your sanity for saying politically incorrect things.

I wasn't embarrassed when he said the n-word; but as a white heterosexual male I WAS embarrassed when he backed down and publicly acted like he was confessing to alcoholism, drug abuse or (horror of horrors) smoking!

It's funny; in the 60s, the boomers/hippies rejected the enforced civility remnant from the Victorian age, becoming crude, vulgar and unwashed. Now that they tore down the traditional bastions of behavior, they've imposed new ones, based on nothing more than their agenda and half-baked notions of absolute "equality" and loathing for their nation, their race, even their species.

The other day a liberal idiot try pre-empting an argument he was going to lose by calling me anti-Semitic. Instead of backing off, apologizing, or explaining how I'm not anti-Semitic, I took the fight back to him. So what if I WAS anti-Semitic? The fact was irrelevant to the argument at hand.

Maybe Dog didn't want his son marrying or even fornicating with a member of another race. Before you boo him, leap ahead 50 years and embrace homosexual marriage. Whether you like it or not, Dogg should have a perfect right to A) hold his views and B) express his views *without* having to apologize or pretend he's sick, or at least insincere, for holding them.

"Are you even marginally aware of the history of inter and intra tribal conflict in either Africa or the Americas"

Yes I am. Are you? We were talking about racism, right. Hate, violence and bigotry directed towards cultures based on cultural differences, right? .Tribal wars in Pre-colonial Africa were fought because of land, not race. I think it is quite normal for a neighboring tribes to have disputes and fights over land. But when a culture comes from half way across the world and from entirely different continent to another culture to exploit, that's something else.

Also, many African cultures laid the scientific foundation that allowed Europeans and others to create the technologically that was responsible for their World wide conquest. The first Scientist, philosophers, mathematicians, were all from Africa.

So no Africans didn't create the A bomb(thank god). But they laid the initial foundation for something like that to be created.

“Focusing on race alone is the folly of idiots. Race is of ZERO importance. Culture and personal behavior is important, not race. Race is something you have no control over, it's like saying to only hire people with red hair.”

Now that just makes common sense. Hiring only people with red hair is one way to ensure you get the smartest and the best! Too bad there aren’t enough of us to go around!

YOU are an embarrassment.
It is a FACT that your hero Bill Clinton's mentor AND Al Gore's dear ol' dad were top flight racists who fought tooth and nail to deny the black race any semblance of equal rights throughout their political careers (the apple does not fall far from the tree).
Facts have a funny way of getting in the way of ALL of your stupid hypothesis...
For instance, todays Liberals & Democrats have you convinced that the black race "needs" their (your) assistance in order to accomplish anything with their lives is not racism but compassion...
AND the big bad Republicans & Conservatives who believe in equality (ALL men [and women] are created equal) are the racists for believing just that.
You are a perfect example of the sad state of mind of the average Democrat voter. Lemming.

Doesn't being embarrassed, or proud, of being a certain color make someone, by definition, a racist? Personally, I'm proud of:

My integrity

My honesty
My work
My home...

I think you may get the point.

For all of the slavery and entitlement apologists...go ahead and be embarrassed to be white, but please get over it. I'm not. I don't know what my forefathers did or didn't do to oppress blacks, so I'm not embarrassed for them either.

I embarrass myself when I fail to live up to my own expectations.

Not Racism
"We were talking about racism, right. Hate, violence and bigotry directed towards cultures based on cultural differences, "

Racism is NOT about cultures. If racism is about cultures, then it's because subcultures have been allowed to flourish, indeed have been fed over the past 50 years.

I will NOT accept the label of "racism" for acknowledging that some cultures are indeed superior to others. A culture is a conglomeration of philosophies, mores, traditions and values. It is not a genetic type.

I was shocked to discover that a pathologist could determine the race of a person not by the skin color, but by a leg bone. I consider that to be more than "skin deep". Race, in Anthro 101, referred to "sub-species" or a level of classification more specific than "species". (lessee if I can remember... kingdom, phylum, order, genus, species... think I left some out...)

I am not embarrassed. I even publicly posted ‘Emancipation Proclamation From White Guilt’ on my blog on 26 September 2007. It is one of my featured articles.

"If he were still with us today, he would be a Republican.".

That's completely unfounded. I don't know, or have I ever met a Republican or a conservative for that matter who would engage in lynching a minority. Either you are being disengenous because you really don't have any real substantive point to make against Republicans (or conservatives?) or you are completely ignorant about Republicans. You should be ashamed of yourself.

orlandocajun: Mike Adams, here
Thanks, man. 2:49 pm and someone FINALLY got the point of the article. Kudos!

Ya'll look for a great column tomorrow (by me) called: "Hooked on Ebonics."

by now,

Mike S. (SamIAm) Adams


Embarassed to be white
Martin Luther King made many speeches, but the lines I remember most are the ones where he asked for "equality of opportunity". Even I, an oooold, white, hetrosexual, conservative male, can find no fault with that. What I do find fault with is Socialist Democrats wanting to take my earnings and re-distribute them to make "equality of outcome" become the norm. This is Socialism pure and simple, and it has never worked, and never will.

What Dr. Adams was trying to point out is the absurdity of the liberal position today, thru satire. As far as I'm concerned, he succeeded quite well, thank you.

Great column, Dr. Keep it up

The Old Coot.

Yo Dog!
If only D. "Dog" Chapman had the backbone to say, "yeah, I said it...and I'll say it again!"

Racism is a natural tendency, an unavoidable fact of mixing the unmixable. The only thing wrong in this country is the inexplicable and culturally suicidal reluctance of the white majority to defend our historical (i.e deserved) position.

Diversity = Destruction

I cannot be embarassed
Over events which I had no influence or control.

Which is why I roll my eyes whenever I encounter a "How can we be judgemental of them when you look at what we did to the indians?" type of argument.

I haven't done anything to the indians except ogle some particularly fine looking Cherokee women I saw in Oklahoma. I'm not sure that makes me evil.

I can only feel guilt or embarassment over the thing I have done. And there are plenty enough hours in the day for me to reflect on them...unfortunately.

I am so sorry
Being a WASPSMV please feel free to blame me for everything wrong in the world even those that are not Bush's fault. Quite frankly I dont give a DAMN

White Guilt?
No white guilt here! I'm a lawyer and my wife is an executive. Quite honestly, our contributions to Republican politicians and causes are driven totally by our desire to preserve the status quo for our heirs. The Democrats can re-distribute the wealth of elitist white liberals as compensation for their white guilt.

yeah, I get the point
"Doesn't being embarrassed, or proud, of being a certain color make someone, by definition, a racist? Personally, I'm proud of:

My integrity
My family
My honesty
My work
My home...

I think you may get the point."

it's the same point Heinlein made long ago. It's also anarchistic rubbish.

Are you proud to be an American? How is pride in being American any different than pride in being black, white, green or purple? Taking pride in being American means taking pride in how America conducts itself; what America stands for. America's integrity, honesty, work, quality of life...

Are you proud of your family? How is that different from pride in your nation, culture or race? It is part of what you are.

The liberal professor in question indeed displayed an expectation for people of his race. just as I have expectations for the people of my nation, my community or my family. And when they fail to meet my expectations, I am embarrassed on their behalf when dealing with people who are not of my nation, community or my family.

Sorry, Mike, normally I applaud your fight against PC, but in this case, you're in lock-step with PC dogma for the sake of slamming a (much deserving) liberal. I'm embarrassed for you.

lILLY
My grandfather and father are still here and they are still DEMOCRATS. they may hate the way the DEMS give everything to the black man but they are still proud DEMOCRATS who by the way voted against Clinton. I guess your statement was meant to be derrogatory to REPS but that want suffice. My grandfather and father both voted for Al Gore but didnt vote for JOHN EFFIN KERRY. They told me they refuse to vote again until the Democratic party got back to becoming the party for the people not for the peoples pity. They dispice DEMS Politicians for the Hate and Revenge attitude they took on after Gore lost to Bush. They stated that the DEM Party has lost its way just for POLITICAL POWER and not to represent the people anymore. Only they represent themselves as Democrats and could care less about what the people want.

"Anyone that calls themselves "Dog" usually live up to the name."

I've found almost no one who lives up to the nobility, compassion, tolerance, or loyalty of the dog.

Okay, just two Cherokee women. One in Oklahoma who was probably 18 and was Native America's version of Selma Hayek. The other lived in Ohio around the block from where I spent my teenage years.

She was the older version of Native America's Selma Hayek. And she was inexplicably married to a 300 pound Cherokee man who looked like Fred Flintstone after a lifetime of chain-smoking unfiltered cigarettes.

Somebody explained it to me as "things are different with the Cherokee". Unfortunately, the amount of Cherokee blood I have in me doesn't seem to make things that same kind of "different" for me...

Lilly and Clay
Lilly, I'm shocked, but even a broken clock can be right twice a day -- we agree on the Santa thing! Hyperventiliating to get over it!

Clay, you're also right. Lilly is often disengenuous with her opinions on conservatives. One of things I love to point out is that in my mostly conservative town most of the liberals live on the west side of town near the University, up in the hills, where the houses are extremely expensive. Their kids go to the "new" high school which has hardly any racial diversity and it appears there aren't many people of color living in their neighborhoods.

It should be noted that there are quite a few commentators on TH who are conservative blacks and frequently take their fellow blacks to the woodshed for their racism and victim attitudes. They don't appreciate white liberals who try to keep them down on the farm. These commentators have what is sometimes called "self-respect."

jdw
Sorry, I don't understand liberal speak. Maybe Mike's article tomorrow on ebonics will help me out.

"How is pride in being American any different than pride in being black, white, green or purple?"

Because America is a nation and those colors represent the people in the nation. It's the same way one might be proud of one's family although it may represent different races. I would be proud of the family...not the color of the family members. If you don't get that, then I can't help you.

You go ahead and be embarrassed for other people. That's classic liberal guilt. Pardon me for not suffering from that condition. Maybe with the exception of my family, I'll pass on that.

If you think taking pride in the things that I mentioned is anarchistic rubbish, then you don't know the definition of "anarchistic". Look it up.



Redhead
Aw, man...That's bad. Heh heh heh.

Don't Dis Me, Whitey
I see skinny white kids at the mall all the time who are embarrassed to be white. They wear their pants halfway down their butts, their hats on sideways and every other word out of their mouth is the f-word. They are absolutely desperate to become negroes. We are so lucky to have the black influence in America.

orlandocajun
"Sorry, I don't understand liberal speak. Maybe Mike's article tomorrow on ebonics will help me out."

And yet you're the only one Mike said understood his article. I think you understand liberal speak all too well.

"Because America is a nation and those colors represent the people in the nation. It's the same way one might be proud of one's family although it may represent different races. I would be proud of the family...not the color of the family members. If you don't get that, then I can't help you."

Why be proud of the family? Are they somehow inherently superior because they are yours? Why feel pride for your son or wife that you wouldn't feel for a stranger living 1,000 miles away?
Because they're yours, they're a part of what you are. Genetically, they are you, and for the most part should be the same "color", more accurately, race.

continued..

As I pointed out, race goes to the bone, it's not *just* skin color. Pride and embarrassment have nothing to do with guilt. If your aunt (wife, mother, sister, daughter) gets drunk and flings her dress over her head at a posh restaurant... you don't feel embarrassed for them? You are capable of that kind of disassociation? If so, I feel sorry for you.

I know full well what the term means, and it fits. you're not allowed to make an exception for your family. Pride in your family for any reason is NO DIFFERENT than pride in your nation, your community, or your race. I don't think taking pride in those things is anarchistic rubbish; I think preventing people from separating into tribes, from saying, "this is my people, this is who I am" is anarchistic and is rubbish. Man is naturally tribal, be it by genetics or by geography.

ALL pride and ALL embarrassment is nonsense in an objective, emotionless world. Someone once said that most people who die in the wilderness die from pride. But pride, embarrassment, guilt... all these emotions motivate our behavior. My being embarrassed for what you say or do may not change your having said or done it, but it will probably shape my own behavior in the future. It will influence me to try to dissuade people I associate with myself, be it by nationality, sex, race, age or religion.

Ayn Rand was a hag.

I'm sure you must be wrong. The liberals in your town can't possibly be living in the more expensive homes, since (according to many townhall posters) we liberals aka Democrats are all lackadaisical bums, our energy and ambition no doubt sapped by chronic hookworm infection and intrafamilial breeding, who live in trailers and receive regular welfare checks from a benevolent Socialist government.

actually
Libs do not take brown people seriously nor do they have high standards for them.

When Milosovech says something dangerous, they wet their pants and try to get him out of power. When Chavez or Ahmadinejhad or Cynthia McKinney say something stupid or dangerous - they say, "eh." and shrug their shoulders. Soft bigotry of low expectations.

btw- when are we going to mainstream the biker gangs' lifestyles like we have done with the lowest of black culture? C'mon, it'll be fun...

Wow
OH MY GOD!! I totally get it now! I thought you meant what you said, then you meant the opposite of what you said, then you meant the opposite of the opposite of what you said! That's like triple irony! That totally destroys liberal irony, which is like totally two-dimensional. AWESOME!!

Ever notice how conservatives base all of their arguments--especially those that have to do with race--on anecdotes? Hopefully one day a conservative will actually witness an act of racism. Then maybe he will have something useful to say about it.

Swampfox
I think the best to hire are left-handed, red-headed, blue-eyed conservatives. But that's just me!

I'm Asian, and cool with it
Hee hee. :)

I am also against affirmative action, quotas, etc. It should be a level playing field, and the best person for the job, the school position, etc., should get it regardless of race, sex, hair color, etc.

Wasn't it Martin Luther King Jr. who said he wanted his kids judged by the contents of their character, not the color of their skin? Sounds like those of us who are against affirmative action agree with the good Doctor on that.

I wish people would stop this tribal identification - if you're black, be proud of it, but don't automatically make excuses for black criminals, vote for black candidates, etc., as though skin color is all that important. Skin color should be the LEAST important thing.

I think America is ready to move beyond race, but the liberal apologists won't let us. It's too bad they don't see how racist it is to characterize all whites as somehow guilty. I'm an Asian, I've known racist whites, but I don't buy into the idea that white=racist. Most whites I've met are not racist. We need to move beyond racial politics.

GREAT ARTICLE !!!

So True... So True... So True...

I have yet to meet a liberal who does not somehow feel "Supreme" in the company of Blacks.

"Why be proud of one's family"?

Like I said, if you don't get it, I can't explain it to you.

"If your aunt (wife, mother, sister, daughter) gets drunk and flings her dress over her head at a posh restaurant... you don't feel embarrassed for them? You are capable of that kind of disassociation? If so, I feel sorry for you."

Like I said, "maybe with the exception of my family". Read my post again if needed. Please don't feel sorry for me. You have enough guilt already.

"ALL pride and ALL embarrassment is nonsense in an objective, emotionless world."

What world do you live in? If you feel no pride or emotion, then I'll make an exception and feel sorry for you!

SamIam
Forgot to point out, Mr Adams, sir (Dr?)

"white boy" is a derogatory term. When I first started hearing it 30 years ago, I was offended, and realised that it was another piece of verbal Judo; remember when black males were commonly referred to as "boy"? I feel no need to denigrate blacks that way, but I sure as heck refuse to swap places with them.

Be more careful in your offensive rhetoric in the future, please. Conserve my delicate feelings and whenever you feel compelled to say "white boy" or "redneck" you should say, "wb-word" or "r-word" instead.

(semi-tongue-in-virtual-cheek)

orlandocajun
you really are confused about language, aren't you?

Everything with you seems to devolve to guilt. PITY (as in "I feel sorry for you") is NOT guilt.

"Like I said, "maybe with the exception of my family". Read my post again if needed. "

Read what *I* wrote; you're not allowed to make an exception for family. What is your family except a chance commonality of genes?

To answer your question, I live in an emotion-driven world, where things like pride and embarrassment can be used to influence behavior.

Again, as you aren't responsible for and can't control what other people do... why make an exception for you family? Why not stand there, not-feeling embarrassed and tell people, "Hey, that drunk isn't my fault."

To help you differentiate between embarrassment, guilt, and culpability, I grabbed the Merriam-Webster definition of "embarass":
"1 a: to place in doubt, perplexity, or difficulties b: to involve in financial difficulties c: to cause to experience a state of self-conscious distress (bawdy stories embarrassed him)"

Hey.... definition B really
applies to liberals:

"b to involve in financial difficulties"

Liberals embarrass me!

Most Americans "hear" of racism, rarely do they experience it. We believe that racism abounds... even though we never see it.

I guess racism is a liberal replacement for The Holy Spirit... "We must believe in order to be free".

Ever notice that liberal causes are a general "re-phrasing" of Biblical teachings.

Think Global Warming and the Second-Coming.

OK turkey when I was about 15 walking home from a school function I walked through a neighborhood, I had walked through many times before. But this was the early 60's and all of a sudden in was "BLACK" territory. To make a lonk story short I was stopped by about 15 guys who proceeded to beat me up for the $2 I had on me. The fact that I was white and they were black and their parting comment to me was dont come back here again you honkey M(word) F(word)er.
Does that qualify? Bottom line, get over it and lets treat everyone the same.

jdw
I read what you wrote. I just don't care that you think that I'm not allowed to make an exception for my family. Apprently, you do since you were to "feel sorry" for me for not feeling embarrased by their antics. You're contridicting yourself.

What's wrong with pride and embarrassment enfluencing behavior? It helps people to appreciate that achievement is good and bad behavior
is not good.

Yea, I know that my drunk aunt is not my fault, but I feel embarrassed nonetheless. Call me silly.

Like I also said, everything associated with you seems to be guilt. Guilt, by definition is unexpressed anger and you seem to have lots of it.

The biggest laugh
I get from most of these posts is are the nut-job definitions of liberals.

It's clearly what holds most TH posters together, conjuring liberal boogey men is what keeps TH alive, posters riveted to their chairs while they gain another 50 pounds, and people like Adams and 99/% of the columnists having their ego stroked, seeing their drivel in print, and probably making some cash at the same time.

The industry of liberal-bashing is a joke - as I've said on another thread, the conservatives I know as friends kid me about coming here and think TH is basically a cess-pool of a--holes, columnists and posters alike. The last person they would identify with is Mike Adams or Doug Giles, or Ann Coulter, they are embarrassed by the very fact of their existence. (Coulter, that is, -- they only know Adams through a column I showed them once, and they don't know of Giles because they wouldn't dream of depending on political radio propaganda for news or worthy opinions).

I don't go on liberal websites for the same kinds of reasons, if I want substance over emtionalism there are many other sources.

Just had to say this because I was stunned by the sheer ignorance of all these posts, and the reaction to Lilly's, which was the only post that cited real facts.


Touj.
"and the reaction to Lilly's, which was the only post that cited real facts."

The one where Lilly equates Republicans with KKK lynch mobs? Talk about conservative bashing.

apologizing for someone else's actions
is arrogant and patronizing.

p.s.- I notice all the examples of racism are from the 1960s. Have you all been freeze-dried since then?

i don't see where
I have any trouble expressing my anger...

The pity was for you IF YOU were capable of such disassociation from family that you wouldn't feel embarrassed by their bad behavior.

Again, tell me how your family is inherently any different from a random collection of strangers? Careful, because just about any argument you make I can make for race.

Nothing is wrong with pride and embarrassment influencing behavior; I was the one asserting that they're necessary and good!

Important point:
"It helps people to appreciate that achievement is good and bad behavior
is not good."
Therefore, if I feel embarrassment, I am motivated to stop the cause of my embarrassment, therefore I will attempt to influence whoever is embarrassing me... and why is this a good thing when an individual, my family or my nation is involved, but not my race? If my embarrassment causes me to stop members of my race from bad behavior, isn't it still a good thing, even though we're talking about race and not people who are a little bit more closely associated genetically?

We share 98% of our genetic makeup with chimpanzees. I never feel embarrassed when I see chimps flinging pooh at each other, but I would indeed feel embarrassed, if, on the day of the great UFO meeting, Speaker Pelosi started flinging pooh at President Bush.

Touj
Thanks for acknowledging the "nut job" definition of liberals. Afterall, there's not other way to describe a liberal.

Martin Luther King would be a Social-Conservative today, by any measure.

lilly gets a bit tiring with her pathetic rants. Yesterday she was moaning that the govt lets all citizens down when it doesn't respond to every natural disaster and doesn't rush in to save everybody orrespective of the cost to society. The old we must save everyone from making any decisions that go wrong with their lives. Last night she was rambling on how monica molested bubba and that poor bubba was victimized by a young woman who essentially forced her attention on a defenseless president who even with secret service protection was helpless against the sexual predator monica. She has also dismissed kennedy's actions at chappaquittick which as we know resulted in a young girls' death as nothing more than college hi-jinks. If it wasn't so pathetic who poor old delusional lilly chose to defend it would be a very sad sorry old joke

jdw
Now I'm really confused. Are we saying the same thing?

"Again, tell me how your family is inherently any different from a random collection of strangers? Careful, because just about any argument you make I can make for race."

Because I love my family and not a random collection of strangers and I expect my family to adhere to the principles that I've outlined in my previous post.

I don't see the connection of "strangers regardless of their race". I guess that I'm saying that I won't be embarrassed by my nation or race but sometimes my family. No, I'm not embarrassed that some white bigot who might be a member of the KKK. That has nothing to do with me. I don't expect a black guy to be embarrassed that the Black Panthers exist either.

Demosthenes
The Egyptians were African people. You are one of the few people who still attempt to argue that that the greatness that was Egypt was done by semitic people. I find your argument as believable as the pyramids being built by aliens.

Africans in the north such as Meroe and Nubian Kingdoms and the peoples of the Zimbabwe all had written languages.

Sudan was an ancient rival to Egypt and at one point conquered that nation and ruled from Sudan.

They were a people of a diverse culture and they did not have a concept of race as did most ancient peoples and cultures.

Let's not let reality get in the way
"Racism is telling Iraqis they cannot control their own destiny, because they are lesser than we."

They are lesser than we. Not because of their race, but because of their cultural heritage. Because of their level of wealth and technological capability.

Sorry, Carlos, but 1500 years of backward feudalism is not equal culturally to the 1500 year heritage of western, Christian Europe in general and Anglo Saxons in particular.

SamIAm
Don't worry, Mike. What I did was make a generalization. An anecdote would have gone something like, Once I was reading this blog and this professor who just couldn't quite grasp the effective use of irony ... Really, don't worry, I won't go on any other blogs and anecdotally mention the professor who based an argument on an anecdote.

P.S. I am glad you got to the part of the Chicago Style Manual about prepositions. Pick up a Bedford--they define anecdote.

Also, hagar--I missed the useful part of your story.

"Sing about Martin.. Sing about Martin"

Dearest Martin believed that "all" men should be judged by their character. And "all" men share the same dear dreams... Freedom and equal opportunity.

These are post-60s

After 911, one of my (NEA) colleagues looked deep into my eyes and said she prayed no one would counter attack against anyone because then Am. would also be a terrorist. White lib. drivel of the first order. Embarrasses ne.

In 2003, when a rumor about the draft flew around, another (NEA) colleague told me she lost dozens of high school friends in Vietnam through the draft by the Marines. When I told her the Marines never drafted anyone (nor any service except the Army infantry), she got so mad she wouldn't speak to me for months. White lib. stupidity of the first order. More embarrassment.

One of the people who may well advise Hillary if she gets nom. and wins, informed me she thinks the US would be much better as Sweden--univ. healthcare (the Holy Grail), runs on water power (really would be good for Am. energy), has no young people (they can't get out fast enough), and is little bigger the NYC. And sat out WW II, when even Norway, Denmark, and Holland fought. When I told her Sweden has just elected a very cons. gov't, she was totally suprised. I'm certainly embarrassed for her.

White liberals are completely embarrassing and prove themselves repeatedly on TH. What are they doing here?






ivagrey for an educated guy
comprehension isnt a strong point So ill try again. Many groups have suffered racism. In the mid to late 18th century in eastern Europe still had serfs. Serfs were treated as slaves to the land owner. This was a form of racism. People need throw off the shackles of victimization and treat everyone equally regardless of race and realize they are the one responsible for themselves.

Racist Acts
ivagrey writes, "Hopefully one day a conservative will actually witness an act of racism. Then maybe he will have something useful to say about it."

Chances are that he either won't see it as an act of racism or he will be the perpetrator himself.

All conservatives are really good at is seeing instances of reverse racism and, like WMD in Iraq, these don't really exist.

renny re draft
Renny in 1966 I was in the Navy at the induction center they lined us up and had us count off. Every forth guy was "volunteered" into the Marines.

Sorry it took awhile Anthony .. but
"We were talking about racism, right?Hate, violence and bigotry directed towards cultures based on cultural differences, right? "

We were. Then you came along & starting spewing ifantile liberal racist dogma posing as some kind of two bit holier than thou pusdeo-intellectual "tolerance".

"Tribal wars in Pre-colonial Africa were fought because of land, not race."

In a word ... wrong. Tribal wars in both "pre-colonial Africa" (and the Americas) were fought for an array of reasons; economics, religion, territory, dynastic dispute, imperial conquest, greed, self-defense the acquistion of slaves and/or sacrificial victims and .... cultural conflict! In short pretty much every reason non-tribal cultures go to war.

"I think it is quite normal for a neighboring tribes to have disputes and fights over land. But when a culture comes from half way across the world and from entirely different continent to another culture to exploit, that's something else."

What a twit you are. Under what morality is it "something else" if I "exploit" my neighbor or someone 1/2 a world away? What, precisely is the moral distinction you are making?

"Also, many African cultures laid the scientific foundation that allowed Europeans and others to create the technologically that was responsible for their World wide conquest. The first Scientist, philosophers, mathematicians, were all from Africa."

In a word ... wrong. You can trot out the "Black Athena" thesis from now until the second coming ... but it simply ain't true buddy. It's foolishness put forward by foolish people to be consumed by fools.

"So no Africans didn't create the A bomb(thank god). But they laid the initial foundation for something like that to be created."

In a word ... wrong. The western scientific tradition owes pretty much nothing to African culture.


wwsword hmm
How about this. I have never been murdered so I can comprehend murder? Puuulleeeese!

What MLK really argued
Old Coot writes, "Martin Luther King made many speeches, but the lines I remember most are the ones where he asked for 'equality of opportunity.' Even I, an oooold, white, hetrosexual, conservative male, can find no fault with that."

Right, and in order to have equal opportunity, Martin Luther King Jr. advocated affirmative action and reparations.

See, King knew that equal rights means leveling the playing field, and that doesn't happen simply by starting today treating everybody the same.

The United States is a country with profound racial inequality. You first have to get rid of racial inequality before equal opportunity can work.

King got it. Conservatives don't. I really wish they would stop twisting King's words to support white privilege. It dishonors his memory. Why don't you go back to calling him a commie.

Sometimes things are so obvious
that even acid heads can get it, mikescott.

At least Liberal Democrats Agree...

My Hero, Martin Luther King.. was a conservative!

Thank You all... My Hero will stop turning now :)

Wow wwsword
See, King knew that equal rights means leveling the playing field, and that doesn't happen simply by starting today treating everybody the same.

So you want "more" equal for some over others? More special treatment? And you wonder how racism starts? If you treat everyone the same over time you will eventually have equality. Who determines who owes whom what? You?

------------------------

That's why Africa is now the most highly advanced society the world has ever seen, and we Europeans and Americans would still be shuffling around in the dark if African empire builders hadn't come over here and wired the place for electricity. And just imagine where we'd be if they hadn't invented the light bulb, the steam engine and everything else that makes our world so comfortable. I'm just so embarrassed to know that all those great inventions were produced from the minds of the African race, and we nasty whites stole them.

Kush
Egyptians were Egyptians, Nubians were Nubians. They are distinct from each other and sub-saharan Africans. I'm not sure, are you saying that the modern American blacks are Egyptian/Nubian? I don't think the Egyptians were semetic but I don't think they were African as we understand the definition.

DIDN'T DICK CHENEY
and other prominent republicans consistently vote AGAINST a MLK holiday? Maybe they liked him, but they just didn't think anything he did warranted a special day of celebration. yeah, that's probably what it was.

"Hopefully one day a conservative will actually witness an act of racism. Then maybe he will have something useful to say about it."
Dude we see it all the time. A handful of examples that come quickly to hand:

The blatant racism of lower expectations liberal espouse for anyone who isn't sufficiently white ... which literally drips from many of the posts from our neo-comm brethern on this thread. Or, how about the vicious racist liberal assumption that "people of color" simply can't make it in any arena without jsut a little "afirmative action?" Maybe the awful fact that every white liberal in America can actually number their "black" friends ... and will at the drop of a hat ... as if it is some kind of badge. Or maybe it's the liberal social policies that literally ensure black men are more likely to have spent time in jail than in a college classroom. Via a sixty year long parade of liberal hate pimped up to look like "tolerance" you and your ilk have done more damage to the black family than the KKK could manage in it's wildest dreams.





Good Point hagar...

At what point are we equal? After how many years, dollars, welfare chits, etc.

Like social-medicine... who gets a kidney? who gets viagra? who gets a face-lift? who goes to Canada for heart surgery?

Is a Black "more" in need than an Indian, a Muslim, a Lesbian, a Mexican, an Eagle?

It is "the song that never ends" :)

"in a word ... wrong. Tribal wars in both "pre-colonial Africa" (and the Americas) were fought for an array of reasons;"

Yes this is true, but most of those reasons pertained to land, even if it was triggered by religious, greed, and economic reasons. Kinda of like the contention between Israel and Palestine. My original point still stays true, it wasn't about race.

"Under what morality is it "something else" if I "exploit" my neighbor or someone 1/2 a world away? What, precisely is the moral distinction you are making?"

Europeans and Arabs tried to engage in WORLDWIDE CONQUEST. They tired to conquer the world opposed to just a neighboring enemy. If you don't see the difference between that, and just warring with a neighboring continent, I don't know what to tell you.

Also both Arabs and Europeans tried to conquer out of greed, not need. There's a difference. This behavior continues to day. Who are the two biggest enemies in world today? Think about it.


"In a word ... wrong. You can trot out the "Black Athena" thesis from now until the second coming ... "

Lmao. Lol. The ignorance. Well it didn't come from that book specifically. You can just do a simple nexus search about the Ancient Egyptians, the Nubians, the Kingdom of Timbuktu, and so forth.

"but it simply ain't true buddy. It's foolishness put forward by foolish people to be consumed by fools. "

Really, even though the first scientist was from Africa (Imhotep), the creator and religious architect of monotheism was from Africa (Akhenaton) and many Greek Philosophers like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato traveled to study in Africa during their life time.

It's a repository for the disaffected, lonely, disappointed, and angry, whose only commonality which each other is their shared hatred of liberals and everything they feel that encompasses."

I wonder if "calm.Touj has the SAME "conservative friends" as Touj???? Heh.

Now, Touj.... I just cant REALLY bring myself to believe that a sanctimonous a-- like yourself could be THIS horrific creature.... Please tell me I'm wrong.

Embarrased

This white professor, in addittion to being embarrassed for being white, is probably also as q---r as a 3$ bill.

Touj
And you know what ELSE this idiot wrote under the SAME thread a I posted previously????

CALM.Touj: "Just wanted to add that whoever it was who doubted my assertion that my conservative friends give me a hard time about posting on TH and call it "slumming", you may be shocked to learn that there really are conservatives who are smart, thoughtful, open, kind, and persuasive.

Dr Adams? I have OFTEN criticised him here. But he does ONE thing that I KNOW I cant do - and which provokes my RESPECT. He produces a COLUMN. Which I can THEN "criticise." But I cant write a column. Not every week. Bet you cant either.

Beside the fact that your link to me to a blank page asking me to log in I shall answer your query.

The vast majority of Africans came from West Africa. They had grown the crops the Europeans needed in the New World. Rice, sugar, and cotton all had been grown in West Africa for centuries. Africans were also used as interpreters, navigators , and military men. It is also estimated that about 90% of the Africans went to South American and the Caribbean in the infamous Triangle Trade of rum, sugar, and slaves.

I asked you for your information regarding the differences that you claim exist between west and east African and I am still waiting for a response.

sorry, here is the article citation

Kush, are you saying
that current African Americans come from Egypt? If so, then you are saying Egyptians are African which they are not. There is a difference. That is like saying that Celts and Slavs are the same. They have some similarity but Slavs, or Swedes don't claim that which Celts have done and vice versa.

ScarletPimpernel
I have provided evidence via the links of research that the ancient Egyptians were African. Where is your evidence that they were not?

Celts in the modern terminology defines people from the Iberian Penisula to the Atlantic, and the commonality is based on language and culture. That make Swedes and Slavs both Celtic. So what is your point?

Kipling,Liberalism, carry the white burd
Oh to carry the white man's burden for those half-devil half child. Liberals sound more like arrogant aristocrats with their condesention, absolving all other dark skinned (But not yellow skinned) races to imbecility, exhonorating any wrong choice as a genetic or societal defect and making their poor, less intellectual charges in need of the white liberal to carry the burden. Why can't liberals give all people dignity and admit white liberals are not needed.Or is it because the caucasian,christian,capitalist,conservative, Constitution-loving, straight. middle-class male is really the Jew in the neo-Jacobin Fourth Reich, the borgeoise Kulaks in the Progessive, one-world communism planned by progressive Democrats and liberals. Waco Texas for all white men?

Sense of humor
Thanks, Mike. I needed a laugh.

Have you noticed, liberals have no sense of humor about themselves? Nor do they ever admit they are wrong about something.

And a side comment: "Dog" is a great name; means faithful, protective, good humored. Dog the Bounty Hunter is a road worrior in the modern barbarian age. He did what police have no time to do: protect the neighborhoods, particularly the children from soul and culture destroying activity. No intellectual can or will do the work he did. For some minor comments he made in a private conversation with his son, he is persecuted. I have listened to black intellectuals make far worse comments against whites, advocating violence against them, one of them a famous poet who is teaching her hate at a university. No loss of jobs for them.

Lilly
Our university pays extremely well for not a whole lot of hours of work in a day (even the secretaries make an outrageous amount for less than 8 hours) which is why the liberals around here can afford to live in expensive homes.

And, I never claimed all liberals were lacksadaisical bums and all that. Some TH posters have and they're wrong. They're making unfair generalizations. It is true that many people we might call "trailer trash" vote Democrat because they recognize who keeps them in their Medicaid coupons and food stamps. That constituency provides liberal elites with an uneducated, easily swayed voting bloc that they can manipulate into voting for inexperienced politicos like Hilary and Obama. That does not mean that all liberals are shiftless bums anymore than all conservatives are gun-toting, Bible-thumping rednecks. I would submit, however, that the rednecks aren't usually getting a whole lot of financial remuneration for their conservative affiliations which makes it a lot harder to buy their loyalty. They are motivated, however, by lower taxes and sound fiscal policy because -- well, they have jobs and lower taxes and pro-business fiscal policies are usually better for the economy than high taxes and entitlement programs. Go figure that both camps vote with their wallets!

Australian friend
I emailed my good friend Sylvia who lives in Tazmania for her take on the Santa thing. She is absolutely mortified that her country is sinking to these levels! She emailed me back "I am currently embarrassed to be an Aussie. I would make use of my dual citizenship to have a break from the lunacy, but it's really no more sane there, is it? Can we blame it on the full moon? Then it would be over in a few days. What sweet fantasy! Of course, reality is we've a long slog to bring our culture back to reality and it seems like we're pushing the rock uphill. Do they really just not get it? Oh, that's right. They've redefined IT."


Aurorawatcher
The big difference in the way the left and right vote with their wallets is that those who vote for conservative motives/principles are voting for policies that benefit everyone, since they support the economic engine that provides the affluence that enables the "tax and buy votes crew" to operate. If only the policies of the foodstamp voters were followed, there would soon be no affluence to be "fairly" distributed.

Why is Sylvia in Tassie, Aurorawatcher?
TAS has been known for years as a haven for Greens and Labour had a near clean sweep this weekend. Why doesn't she move?

Admittedly, NSW and QLD swung as least as much, but WA didn't swing as far, and VIC was half-and-half... a short hop across the Bass Strait.

As for Santa, the company doing the training claims children are frightened by deep-voiced "Ho ho ho's". Who knows? Since the Daily Telegraph broke the 'story', I wouldn't put much faith in it.

(The Australian Telegraph is akin to the Sun or Daily Mail in the UK, and not far from a US daily National Enquirer.

You're saying ethnicity equals culture which is not true. A slav has no more in common with a Celt than does a Swede. Claiming that Egypt and Egyptians are the same as Sub-Saharan Africans is misleading. African-Americans trying to identify with ancient Egyptians is futile.

Indians (from India) are Aryan. Now, does that make them German?

Please...
All this because some mulletted hick used the N word a bunch of times? What percentage of the population even watches that guy's show?

Where will it end?
Good article Mike.

Where does it end? Should we also apologize for not being poor, when we work so hard to get what we have? Should we apologize for not being a woman, or gay, or even stupid (As what lilly et. al. would like us to do, apologize for being conservatives)? Should we apologize for our faith in Christ, and for our opinions about everything?

That is a very sorry person who spends all day apologizing for everyone and everything that ever happened in the world today, and yesterday, and what might happen tomorrow.

'Racism' is a word that keeps NAACP in business. It keeps the Dems entitlement programs flowing so they can buy the poverty votes with them. It keeps the professors 'popular' with the MSM and most importantly, it keeps the American socialist parties full of members. This word should have been outdated by the end of the Dem/'Slave Power' started civil war but was not, for the self-serving carpetbagger African-Americans and the same Democrats who fought to retain slavery.

Got Tenure, Mike?
Dear Professor Adams: I applaud your courage (and audacity!) for daring to throw the lame words of your PC superiors back in their teeth. I just hope the University of North Carolina system has a strong policy of tenure... or at least one that applies to conservatives as well! If not... well, there are LOTS of little junior colleges in the state. Good luck!! LOL.

Here is the link that will take you to Dr. David Frawley who discusses the myth of an Aryan invasion of India.

http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/ancient/aryan/aryan_f rawley.html

As I asked earlier where is your evidence or proof that ancient Egyptians were not African?

I did google Buzon and I noted her research of ancient Nubia and Egypt. She noted the interaction between the two groups and the eventual conquest of Egypt by the Nubians. It was also interesting to note her discovery that both Nubia and Egypt used tetracycline as an antibiotic nearly two thousand years ago.




Races of Humanity
II. Congoid Subspecies of sub-Saharan Africa
A. Central African race
1. Palaecongoid subrace (the Congo river basin: Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, Angola)
2. Sudanid subrace (western Africa: Niger, Mali, Senegal, Guinea)
3. Nilotid subrace (southern Sudan; the ancient Nubians were of this subrace)
4. Kafrid or Bantid subrace (east and south Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Natal)
B. Bambutid race (African Pygmies)
C. Aethiopid race (Ethiopia, Somalia; hybridized with Caucasoids)

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/Lifescience/Hu manRaces/RacesofHumanity/RacesofHumanity.htm

As you can see, African and Aethiopid races are different. Nubian falls under Nilotid subrace from southern Sudan.

You are correct that Nubians were near and around and in Egypt at different times. What does this have to do with Africans which are sub-saharan? And what does this have to do with trying to equate American blacks, who came from West Africa, with Egyptians who were not African but were Aethiopid?

Egyptians did not look like Nubians nor West nor East Africans. Dressing alike does not make people the same ethnicity.

Point lost here...

The vast majority of voters could care less who is a Nubian or not. Voters would like an honest discussion on racism...

Voters would be happy to know that Democrats promote supremacy, jealousy, and racism... And Republicans oppose the race-baiting politics whirling around most every Democrat candidate.

Clarity dear Liberals, Clarity!

ScarletPimpernel
You source, Mr. Richard McCulloch of racialcompact.com, who proclaims himself a Nordish Racial Presevationist believes in the out of Africa migration of mankind. He also believes his self proclaimed Nordish Race is on the verge of dissappearance due to assimilation. Mr. McCulloch also is a proponent of moving the different "races" into independent separate states. But wait there is more. He argues that the UN should issue a declaration in favor of the right for a racial group to secede from others, because he argues that the right to racial preservation is in fact a fundamental human right. I wonder if many TH posters would support such a declaration?

well i'm glad
You agree that Africans and Egyptians are different peoples;)

Mr. McCulloch sounds like a multi-culturalist to me. Dem/Libs should love it.

No I do not agree that Africans and ancient Egyptians are different people nor can you point to any post where I stated that I agree with you or your beliefs.

Mr. McCulloch is a white nationalist and has found no support from liberals or Democrats.

it's a free country
Believe what you want about Egyptians. I'm not sure why it is important to you to believe that East and West Africans, who are not Egyptian lived in Egypt for a while and then, apparently left. Hey, maybe the sub-saharan people are NOT African. Maybe the Egyptians are the real Africans. In that case, you are correct. Not sure what to call the other folks though.

Right on.

Cowards threw and threw.

Quick edit - strike one!
You wrote, "because she’s already trying desperately to be black."

My edit would have read, "because, desperately, she’s trying to be black already." Your version splits the predicate, twice! *grin*

Quick edit - strike two!
You wrote, "I’ll go to the next all black faculty meeting and introduce myself to black faculty saying “I thank God that none of you are white."

My edit would have read, "I’ll go to the next all black faculty meeting and introduce myself to black faculty saying, 'I thank God that [not] one of you is white.'"

Townhall Racists
One thing I know from reading the columns here at townhall.com is that racists like talking and writing about race.

If I go to white supremacist website, I bet the comments are similar to the ones here at townhall.com.
