Kane, whether one group has had the right combination of geographic good fortune, and social pressure, to move past barbarism is not on point. It is, however, an echo of the white man's burden.
Condemning african civilization for its relative lack of development (which colonialism must play some role in) does nothing to further a frank discussion about hereditary differences and our racial hang ups.
I say this as a racially callous asshole.

Well said, Mincing. And I'd like to note that the "New Black Panther voter intimidation" thing is a riot--they did it in front of a PROJECT, where the vast majority were Black. That voting spot has traditionally gone enormously democrat, with sometimes as few as 5 votes Republican. So it's laughable to think that two people (the entire "membership" of the "New Black Panther Party") were there to intimidate the teeeny minority of people who vote republican...it would have gone democrat anyway, by a vast majority.
Now, two guys acting out to get on TV, that's a different matter. And I repeat: DUMBYA refused to go after them, on January 9, 2009, and it turned into a civil suit after that.
Could we put that one to bed, PLEASE? It's laughable, and surely you guys can come up with something better.

Niki, I think you meant it would have gone DEMOCRAT by a huge majority, right?
And yeah, it's been thoroughly debunked, but they won't let go of it, because it's all they've got, and they ARE just that desperate.

It's only laughable if you think voter intimidation is a laughing matter.
Flip it, and put KKK members out in front of a polling site near a trailer park, somewhere in Kentucky or Tennessee, and if ONE black person got turned away because they were scared, for ANY reason, real or perceived, then we'd have ourselves a full blown federal case.
And rightfully so !
That the Bush DOJ didn't pursue the case means nothing. Bush didn't do a lot of things he should have done, as Karl Rove recently stated about not fighting back hard enough w/ the Dems. Doesn't change the facts of the case, one iota.
( and no, it's not in the least bit been " thoroughly debunked " . You'd LIKE it to , of course, because it shows just how sad this administration is, and how claims of Obama being " post racial " are a joke. From calling the Cambridge police " stupid " to dropping the clear and obvious case of voter intimidation, Obama is showing himself to be a true product of Rev Wright's " church". And that's what scares Lefties the most.... that America will see Obama for who his really is, and not for the fake P.R. creation he was made out to be by the MSM )

To be clear, the New Black Panther party is vile and racist. But demonstrating that black folk can be crazed, racist assholes too does nothing to make paler crazed racist assholes any cuddlier.
The decision whether or not to prosecute is complicated, and I doubt the blackness of the party was the determining factor.
That said, I would get a kick out of making the worst fears of the New Panthers come true. I like confirming people's world view, especially when its insane.

Um, "racism" is not a fact, it is an opinion and therefore purely subjective. Therefore, it cannot be proven and hence, cannot be disproven.
Please take note: WE CANNOT CONTROL WHAT OTHERS THINK OF US. WE ARE ALL HELPLESS AGAINST THE BELIEFS OF OTHERS REGARDING OUR CHARACTER.
If someone calls you "racist" and you don't believe you are and they are insusceptible to your mitigating eloquence, I suggest you avoid that person. Problem solved. Thread over.
Next!

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

HK, point well taken, but in some instances, I think racism crosses from subjective state of mind to objective fact...see generally segregated schools, lynchings, etc...also, we use circumstantial evidence to demonstrate subjective states all the time. So I dissent.
PS: you are a racist!

So you're chiding Obama for dropping a case that Bush dropped, and claiming that Bush dropping it means nothing, but Obama NOT dropping it (because Bush did, not Obama) means SOMETHING? Is that what you're claiming?
Your mind is going, Rappy. You're too wrapped up in your Obama Derangement Syndrome, and it's affecting your mental health.
This is truly you at your partisan worst, outright dismissing EVERYTHING Bush did, while giving Obama 100% of the blame for everything Bush did!

Go fuck yourself.
On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

Quote:Not so fast, Time Lord! We are speaking here of how "I" can prove I'm not racist, not whether folk who believe I'm racist can agree on criteria for defining me as such. "I" am still specifically powerless to change their minds for them. Still a fruitless enterprise. Still, best to avoid such folk, if I can.

No one can convince me that I am racist, either (but thanks for trying). I must come to that conclusion on my own.
