The Nation: More Honest History About White Racism Is Needed

[skyk-2009]

This story is purified white liberal guilt - and it's premise seems to be that racism is good, so long as it's against whites...

What were YOU doing when the Water Cannons and Attack dogs were being turned on American Citizens? You fascist seem to think, since you got your hands caught in the Hate Cookie Jar, just removing it was enough. It wasn't and I'm here to tell you that in the south the FASCISM and HATRED that created the WORST crime against Humanity in our life time is far from gone. Right under the surface is the basic fascist beliefs and the same hatred for anyone who dares expose that. You can't make such things go away by simply saying we won't do it again. America has a Cancer, it resides in our south and the ONLY way to remove a cancer is to Cut it out by the roots!

dogsoul,
Thanks for some common sense. We never get that from the Liberal Power Structure which stays in power by uniting diverse groups into a monolith whose only common feature is hatred for the Evil White Man.
And then there's the other Power Structure, the Republican Power Structure which gets into power by playing to the emotions of other diverse groups who look back to an America where fairness and honesty were common virtues.
Regardless, either power structure has a common goal, once elected, to steal everything they can get from the Big Honey Pot.

and let's not forget...there are still blacks in Africa selling other blacks into slavery...it hasn't stopped yet. America would be alot better off without the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the likes...they keep making their money on stirring the "racial" pot. Slavery is and has always been disgusting...but is not just the blacks that have been enslaved. There are a few other people out there besides Bill Cosby telling it like it is it's just that some people can't handle the truth and like to point their finger at someone else to blame.

...and let's be honest here - every single day we're inundated with racism this, racism that - and of course, NEVER of the black on white brand... although judging by the O.J. case & the Duke False Rape allegation case (or for that matter the more recent black on white Duke rape case nobody's heard about) - it's as pervasive as ever...

So what - is it underreported??? Are you serious? Okay, so this particular guy isn't some prominently displayed evil icon we all know & hate... fine - but what he did and certainly to whom he did it IS about as advertised as it gets... despite the fact that Rosa Parks wasn't particularly unique to what was happening at that time - she's more than just a household name. Now that may not be enough for ya, but I fail to see how it was all just brushed under the rug... especially after watching her funeral a few years ago, many MANY years after this incident - have we not lent this story the proper attention is deserves? Huh?

This story is purified white liberal guilt - and it's premise seems to be that racism is good, so long as it's against whites...

racism is schism.

So we should have a white history month eh? But with one caviat - it must be a month dedicated to bashing white people for their racism with some scattered praise for those whites who helped other races... in other words, it's still supposed to be about black people & other minorities. Black history month rejoices in the accomplishments of blacks and lauds their struggle to overcome racism... white history month should focus on the evils of the white race & the few heroes who overcame white racism to help blacks...

It always amazes me how some people claim to be anti-racist while in the same breath talk about racial "collective responsibility" and "racial history" - an inherently racist concept. I cannot imagine the backlash if someone were to suggest that during Black History Month we should focus on black racism against whites, or the problems they have with crime, welfare, illegitimate children while praising a few successful black people for 'getting it right' - how'd ya think that'd go over?

I happen to be white... and I cannot hold individual blacks collectively responsible for the actions of other blacks - I am told this time & time again by people like the guy who wrote this article - I accept this notion... In the same way, I do not accept collective responsibility for the actions of other whites.

The only way to beat this dead horse, is to treat ALL people with respect without regards to race, etc. And BTW, the civil war was not fought primarily over slavery. I'm really tired of the "Keeping the Black Man Down" statements and tales of horror hangings. Well, I was not there! Do I complain about the 5 black kids that beat me and took my bike when I was 12? No. I let it go. I don't blame all black people for the ignorance of the few. And only 2 days ago in New Orleans, when 3 black guys walked away with my ice cooler. Did I scream up and down the parade route about how terrible crime is because of those black people? No, I got the ice cooler back because they were stupid enough to stop to watch a parade float. They do not represent the mass. They were petty criminals. Color didn't make them crooks. In the same context, stop this white folk keeping the black folk down ***. I%u2019ve had enough of that poison.

This country constantly needs to be reminded of it's racist past! Otherwise they tend to conveniently forget and slip right back into the same pit. It still exists right below the surface!
