White people are still really scared of black people, aren't they.

We are, but saying why is considered racist.

[Guest Eagle Man]

Edwin, unless you were being a teensy bit disingenuous when you posted a picture of yourself, you are, in spite of (or possibly because of) Wu-Tang Clan expertise, a white person, and if you're going to make a sweeping generalization about white people, shouldn't you be saying "aren't we" rather than "aren't they," or better yet, just acknowledging the stunted progress of black/white race relations without either plural pronoun?

[Boon]

That's not very clever, though.

[Kizzo]

White people are still really scared of black people, aren't they.

 

 

I don't think its that.. We haven't entered a full generation yet since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. There are still scars left, and those who were in that time are still here today.

 

Whites know what they did to blacks during the 60s and 70s when blacks were trying to fight for their rights. Called them all sorts of names(including what Imus said), of course we also had all the violence, and etc.

I'm pretty sure a full generation has passed since the Civil War so blind racism will continue on long past 1964.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Age has nothing to do with it.

 

All races will be afraid of all other races, and this will never change.

[Darth Vader]

No racism will end when interacial breeding eventually makes race unrcogizable. That may take 50,000 years though and who know what will happen before then.

Great youtube file

 

 

Edit: Not actually Air America.

[reign]

Great youtube file from AirAmerica.

 

 

Michael Savage was gold in his comments..."Barbara Walters is a mind slut!" Freedom of speech may piss people off but it's damn funny and because it angers people it needs to be protected...

[reign]

Somebody needs to get the clip of Ann Coulter commenting on Imus where it says "Godless" author below her name..it makes for a quite an accurate description...

[Slayer]

Then we'll just find other reasons to hate each other

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

 

They already exist.

[Big Ol' Smitty]

Things I learned from this thread:

 

1. Boycotts are a "mob tactic": Martin Luther King, Jr., the Sons of Liberty, & Gandhi all used "mob tactics".

 

2. Three-Six Mafia REALLY DOES have a TV show. I was at the gym the other day and MTV was on, & I learned this. I was just joking earlier in the thread.

Memo To The Media

 

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are not the only black people in America, and more than that they do not have the ability to force themselves onto your news shows. There's a pattern here:

 

1) Bigot eruption somewhere

2) Lots of people condemn it

3) Al Sharpton goes on every teevee program

4) The media people turn around and use Sharpton's past as a distraction/excuse for the current bigot eruption

 

If Al Sharpton is an imperfect spokesperson for an issue, and you keep putting him on the teevee to be the spokesperson for that issue, then the obvious conclusion is that this is a deliberate strategy.

Sometimes I rebel against my excessive education and shake things up a bit, pronoun-wise. In terms of the actual content, I was just really amused by the histrionics of people like the max, flipping out and digitally scowling at those opportunistic Rutgers devil-whores because "the I-Man" (you've got to be fucking kidding me) said a dumbass thing and eventually got fired for it, just like every other dumbass in the history of corporate-sponsored anything. You can be pissed about his telethon getting shut down prematurely without embarrassingly invoking "mob tactics!" and claiming that the criticisms levied at Imus on account of his dumbassery are invalid because "they don't do this to rappers."

Imus ‘fight’ is over money, fame

 

JASON WHITLOCK - The Kansas City Star

When I criticized his and Jesse Jackson’s irresponsible and divisive methods of seeking social justice Friday morning, Al Sharpton dismissed the attack by questioning my credibility to lodge a complaint.

 

“There are always guys that are not in the ring who want to call the fight,” Sharpton said. “You know that going in the ring; you’re going to have critics … You can’t satisfy people who are not in the ring.”

 

It’s a clever response. It ignores the obvious.

 

Jesse and Al don’t want anyone else in the ring. They’ve turned the fight for racial equality into a money and fame pit, a place to wrestle for camera time, “consulting” jobs and handshake deals that would make NCAA investigators blush in astonishment.

 

If people with a modicum of integrity were allowed in the ring and, more importantly, allowed to choose the opponents and the length of the battle, the money would run dry and Jesse and Al would be forced to look for real work.

 

Fighting bums is easy. Just look at what Jesse and Al James did to Don Imus, a washed-up, recovering drug addict. They knocked out Imus in a couple of rounds.

 

But at what cost, and what was the real purpose?

 

The young women on the Rutgers basketball team are now targets, the recipients of death threats and harassment, according to East Coast media reports.

 

I have no problem with young people engaging in battle and suffering severe consequences for a righteous cause. We need more of that. The people who really provided the energy for the civil rights movement were in college.

 

But getting in harm’s way over the ignorant utterances of a shock jock? Getting in harm’s way so a coach could have her moment to tell the world about the troubles she’s known? Getting in harm’s way so Al and Jesse James can flex their muscle by beating up another tomato can?

 

No way. It was irresponsible, self-indulgent and typical of the kind of domestic terrorism Sharpton and Jackson have come to specialize in.

 

Again, I am not defending Don Imus. I shed no tears over his comeuppance.

 

I simply question the motives of the people who pushed the hardest and shouted the loudest for Imus’ demise. Those people are now covering themselves with the fig leaf that they have a genuine interest in stopping the anti-black, women-objectifying language in rap music.

 

According to Sharpton, he’s been working on this issue for a number of years.

 

He’s clever. Fortunately, we’re not stupid. We just watched Jesse and Al sink their teeth in Imus’ rear end and not remove them until MSNBC and CBS put knives in Imus.

 

That tenacity and enthusiasm have been completely missing from their fight to clean up hip hop. Whether we like him or not, Minister Louis Farrakhan is the only leader with a consistent position on that issue. What we get from Jesse and Al are half-hearted public relations ploys, fights that end well before any blood is drawn. It’s a game, a game Jesse and Al have mastered.

 

You can create the appearance of putting up a fight, and that ensures no one else will enter the ring.

 

As an example, talk with black race-car drivers about their feelings about NASCAR’s dealings with Jesse Jackson. I have. Their belief is, if you sponsor the right and enough Rainbow Coalition events, you can avoid Jesse ever bringing his circus and negative spotlight to your organization.

 

You follow me?

 

The ring Jesse and Al are boxing in is just as corrupt as the one where Mike Tyson sparred.

 

In a one-year time span, under the guise of fighting for our equality, Jesse and Al contributed to putting Duke lacrosse players and Rutgers basketball players in harm’s way.

 

For what? Was Don Imus hiding weapons of mass destruction? Were the lacrosse players an international threat to escorts? Or maybe the truth just doesn’t matter to Jesse and Al when it comes to furthering their agenda.

 

Whatever integrity Jesse and Al say our president lacks, you have to wonder if they don’t have the exact same deficiency.

 

If there’s a fight to push Jesse and Al out of the ring, you can sign me up. They’re an embarrassment. They disgrace the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a great man whose efforts caused division so that we could one day come together.

 

Jesse and Al cause division for profit, and demand from others the very things they’re unwilling to do — judge people on the content of their character and follow the truth wherever it leads, regardless of color.

 

Truth is on the side of the righteous. Jesse and Al operate as though they don’t believe in our righteousness. They are far more dangerous than Don Imus.

[frisco]

Black people have nappy hair. Its a fact. Al Sharpton probably has the nappiest hair on the planet.

Is Imus a racist because of what he said? Possibly. Is Al Sharpton a racist because he worked as hard as he did to keep a Jewish store from opening in a blackneighborhood? Absolitely. Sharpton had those kids tried and convicted for raping that black exotic dancer...yet now they she admits she lied he still hasn't apologized for all the things he said about them. If Imus is a racist Sharpton is a bigger one---yet he keeps his job.

 

PC sucks.

[Boon]

Black people can blush?

 

...said a dumbass thing and eventually got fired for it, just like every other dumbass in the history of corporate-sponsored anything.

Wrong.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

some small time radio station wants to hire Imus..according to CNN..the story is gonna run shortly..

Black people have all kinds of hair textures you bigoted dumbass. Maybe Al Sharpton is racist against white people. If you feel strongly about that, protest his employer about it. Boycott McDonalds and Wal-Mart who sponsors his talk show.

Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer signs a book deal

Home News Tribune Online 04/18/07

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

NEWARK: Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer has signed a deal to write a book about her life, set to be published next year.

 

The book, tentatively titled ""Stepping Up and Standing Tall,'' is scheduled to be released by Crown Books in the first half of 2008, said Tina Constable, the publisher's executive vice president for publicity.

 

Stringer and her players were the focus of a nationwide debate on race and gender over the last two weeks after derogatory remarks directed at them by syndicated radio host Don Imus, who was eventually fired by CBS. The remarks were made after Rutgers' 59-46 loss to Tennessee in the national championship game on April 3.

 

Team members spoke on national television several times, including an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's show last Thursday.

 

Stringer, 59, began working on a book proposal last year, basketball team spokeswoman Stacey Brann said, though negotiations with Crown did not start until last week, according to Constable. The amount of Stringer's advance for the

book was not disclosed.

 

""The one thing that was really apparent was that the proposal was really well done and there was a lot of thought put into it,'' Constable said. ""Clearly it hadn't been turned around overnight.''

 

Freelance writer Laura Tucker will work with Stringer on the book.

 

Stringer is the third-winningest women's basketball coach in NCAA Division I history with 777 victories and is the only coach to take three different schools to the Final Four. She has overcome several personal tragedies, including the death

of her husband in 1992.

 

""The reality is that she has led an extraordinary life and is very inspiring and a role model for women,'' Constable said.

[Dr. Zaius]

In retrospect, given what happened this week, don't we all feel stupid for paying any attention at all to something this trivial? Its pretty sad that it took something as horrible as a campus massacre to remind us that Don Imus and Anna Nicole Smith really don't mean shit in the big scheme of things.

[Guest Queen Leelee]

Of course.

 

But, it's always better when we're complaining about the president getting a blowjob instead of war and innocent people dying.
