I like this article. I never could stand Sharpton or Jackson.

Not long ago rosie o'donald made fun of chinese people and she didn't apologise nor was she kicked off of the view for it. So why is this man being condemned and she wasn't?

The thought of only talking about the double standard against whites proves that we have an even deeper standard against minorities by not further fighting for their rights. There is still racism in this country and world and no matter how much we want to push it aside, we have to fight this battle to the end. We should work together to get rid of this monster, not fight against each other for it.
Well said Pierce. The battle against bigotry and racism is far from won.

The article was taking the extreme side; that all minorities problems are caused by minorites is the other extreme to the side you were taking:

Also, if you want to get into it, most of black racism against whites is made by whites. Record companies, white, basically make the songs for the black rappers nowadays so it is the whites that promoting black racism against whites to make money.
At any rate, I still haven't received reparations from either whities for what they did to my Native American peeps, or from Bruce Willis for fucking too many women and being a general horndog.

Either extreme side is wrong. No matter how much everyone helps the inner city nothing will happen unless everyone in there works to help themselves too.

Reparations are tough because the people that screwed over the Native Americans are long dead. Before jumping to conclussions, what do you think you should happen?

And the people who held African-americans in slavery must be MUCH older than I am.

That's my point. I don't expect anything to happen. And I don't demand apologies and firings every time I hear the racist words Injun, squaw, scalpers, redskins, or savages.

Jumping to conclusions? Not sure I catch you; I think you've used the word "conclusion" out of context (better apologize now.) But here is a pic of Humbug jumping to the Island of Conclusions just for you:

Sometimes I think Rosie just sticks her nose into these things (recall her recent feud with the Donald) just for the free publicity.

I don't have anything against Rosie but it seems like she always shows up when there's some extra cameras around.
