Are ?Black?and ?White? Inherently Racist Terms?
2009-09-23 21:33:00 They have always struck me as being such, given their histories and the overtones associated with them - both cultural and inherent.

Are the "Obama's foreign born" folks being racist?
2009-07-23 18:40:00 I'm not sure most of the people who are harping on this "birth certificate" issue even believe it's true; I think they're mostly looking for something to badger the winner with. It's amazing what people will do when they're feeling bitter.Are there racists among them? I assume so, but I'm not sure what fraction it is, let alone if it's the majority. As for the rest of them, logic isn't at issue with most in this situation. It's an emotional response, just as many reactions are in the political arena. There were nut-cases dogging every President in recent memory, forcing them to spend time and attention on trivia - taking their time and energy away from the larger problems facing the people of this country.Many of them, in this case, have trouble feeling any sort of sense of commonality - or community - with the duly elected former Senator for any number of reasons: some because he's not white, some because he's a Democrat, some because they think he's trying to impose so...
Jackie Chan Is A Know-Nothing Self-Loathing Racist.
2009-04-19 22:54:00 The title sums up my initial reaction to the news of Jackie Chan dissing the Chinese people by essentially saying they are too messed up to ever be able to handle democracy. I was going to write a blog post criticizing Chan for his comments and noting how the same thing has been said about other countries that are now democracies (the United States, Japan, West Germany, Italy, Spain and South Korea immediately come to mind). Then I decided I am not the right person to write such a post, so I didn't. But today, over at The Useless Tree, I saw the post I would have written, if I were a thoughtful college professor of Chinese politics and decided to simply incorporate it as though I had written it myself. The post is entitled, "Jackie Chan does the Orientalist thing," and if you want to know why Jackie Chan should pretty much be ignored when it comes to world politics (just as anyone with any brains ignores Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, and the various other Hollywood types when the...

The “Racist” Card Gets Played Re: Tea Parties
2009-04-17 17:14:00 You just knew someone would do this eventually. Washington Times: Liberal actress and political activist Janeane Garofalo, in all seriousness, said activists who attended tea parties are racists with dysfunctional brains in a recent prime-time television appearance. “Let’s be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It’s not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don’t know their history at all. It’s about hating a black man in the White House,” she said on MSNBC’s “The Countdown” with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. “This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that.” Olbermann did not once try to challenge her on those assertions. I’d not expect him to make any noise at all about how much that smells like horsey pucks… that’s not what Soros pays him for. (Astroturfing, inde...

Anti-Jewish Racist UK Continues Its War against the Human Rights of Jews
2008-12-21 14:55:00 Racist UK continues war against the human rights of JewsThe United Kingdom, often called Great Britain, accepted a mandate, a trust, from the League of Nations on behalf of the Jewish people to foster development of the Jewish National Home in the Land of Israel. This meant fostering "close settlement" on the land by Jews. As everyone ought to know, the UK violated its mandate, its commitment to the Jewish National Home principle, precisely on the eve of the Holocaust. The Land of Israel --unfortunately labelled "palestine" by the League of Nations-- was recognized as historically Jewish. The League stated: ". . . recognition has thereby been given [by the mandate] to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" [preamble of the League of Nations mandate, 1922].The worst single violation by the UK of this mandate was the 1939 "White Paper for Palestine" which severely limited Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel precisely when the Jews most needed a home, on t...

John McCain's Racist and Sexist Comments and Actions
2008-09-23 05:14:00 Senator John McCain has been known for making racist and sexist comments. So many, one wonders why they've not been reported by the mainstrea media. Well, here's a video report on just some of what McCain has said, as well as his agreement with Bill O'Reilly that he's part of a "White Male Power Structure." The foundation for my video was the work on Doug Thompson, who's the main author of the blog "Capital Hill Blue" I happened to find his work on the matter of McCain's racism while conducting this search "john mccain racism" on Goggle, and scrolling down. Doug's work is perhaps the most comprehensive collection of comments and actions that McCain has made and taken that have been identified as racist and sexist. Doug says that he was a Capital Hill Chief of Staff in his blog, but I checked via search and did find a more detailed information set on his other website about himself, and which read: Thompson took a sabbatical from newspapers in 1981 and moved to Washin...

The Nonexistent Anti-Obama Racist Factor
2008-09-18 07:15:00 It's interesting that race seems to be playing little role in this campaign, except possibly in New York and Massachusetts, where many Democrats seem to be voting against Obama, possibly because he is Black. Race seems to be playing little to no role elsewhere, even in the South, where Obama is doing about as well as expected.Obama tends to be doing better than expected in the Great Plains and Intermountain West, so, if anything, the is an anti-race factor there. More Whites than expected are voting for Obama. It's possibly we may be seeing an anti-race effect with these Whites, where they are Whites who are voting for, not against, Obama because he is Black.At any rate, the constant squawking among Blacks and many Democrats that if Obama loses, it will be due to race, is not warranted. Obama is getting the same amount of the White vote as Kerry did, and he is getting much of the White women's vote.On an individual level, sure, there are Whites who ought to be voting Democrat, bu...
