In response to:
Larry, the National Race and Politics Survey would be hillarious if it weren't so tragic.
The takeaway from that survey is that blacks are their own worst enemy. Rather than working to acheive equality as quickly as possible, they spurn the extended helping hands of honestly non-racial whites. My Dad would have said they prefer to cut off their own noses to spite their faces.
So I'm going to call it.
As of 2012, racism is over in the United States. Equality has been acheived. Affirmitive action laws should be abolished as their goal has been acheived. And anyone calling another racist is instead declaring themselves to be the racist, and should be shunned, spurned, and vilified as haters attempting to reinstitute discrimination.
Brandon, a 9-year-old black kid, attended a campaign rally hosted by Michelle Obama. A cameraman interviewed Brandon, who was there with his dad. "Why does (Obama) need to win?" he was asked. "Because if Mitt Romney wins," he replied, "we'll be going back to the crop fields. We'll be picking crops." Off-screen, his father could be heard laughing.
From whom does a 9-year-old hear that Obama's opponent is a racist who, to quote the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, wants "to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws"?
Brandon's father might alert his son to a recent column...
Amen.
