Our nation is SO worried about offending somebody, (ANYBODY - from the MUSLIM terrorists on down), we've had to become SO politically correct, we are turning into a bunch of pussy-foot wimps.

It seems like christians are the only exception to this rule. Prayer isn't allowed, it's not politically correct to say "Merry Christmas" anymore, the ten commandments can't be displayed publicly, abortion, evolution, you name it... the anti-christian views are increasingly accepted while christian views are increasingly condemned. The devil is hard at work in our society. Keep saying your prayers, people!

Bear - 2015-04-30 10:31 AM I honestly think that the Democrat powers-to-be actually are behind most of these crises. They want them to grow and divert attention away from the debacles that are of their doing, particularly Hillary's mounting scandals. This is giving her some time to reconfigure her lies and deceptions and takes the heat off her. In a sense, this is a "wag the dog" maneuver, and the thugs are their operatives. Democrats need deep divisions, misery, poverty, and chaos in order to survive. If their isn't enough, they create it themselves. They need victims......black victims, gay victims, impoverished victims, jobless victims, female victims, you name it. The paradox is that, in reality, they actually love all of those things they claim to be fighting against. When any of those things seem to be decreasing, they stir it up, or even manufacture it. Why? Because a few select elites at the top can profit from it.....case in point, Al Gore. Case in point, the Clintons. Case in point, Obozo.

Come on, the conspirisy theory?  No, just thugs, there is no planning or wisdom behind this stuff.  How things haven't changed, I remember Watts.  20 years later the residents were complaining there were no business willing to rebuild their burned out neighborhood.  History ignored is history repeated.

Absolutely, I think there is an element of the progressive movement that does whatever it can to incite things like this. For example, Al Sharpton, the Black Panters, and a whole host of liberal Democrats who love to point out to people that they are victims. They have spent their lives dividing people. Victimology is their main tool. They feel owed because they are victims of racism, or sexism, or whatever. There is never enough welfare and "programs". They hold these people hostage to false hopes that are never delivered to a sufficient extent. Racism will never die because progressive liberals are the racists and they go to great lengths to preserve it.

I have never seen racism this bad or really never seen racism at all untill you know who became the Pres. We are so divided that its going to take decades to fix this mess, if it can be fixed.

Exactly. Who was Obama's "spiritual mentor" for 20 years prior to his being elected in 2008? "Spiritual mentor" was Obama's words.

 I grew up with racism in a part of the south with a large black population.  Some of my older relatives were blatant, unapologetic racists, but by far most of the racism I witnessed and experienced was not from white people (I was physically attacked twice in jr high for being white--the principal was scared to do anything about it and we all knew it).  Things seemed to be getting better over time.  Slowly, but I could see positive changes taking place.  And then Obama came into office and started stirring the pot and we have been set back 50 years, according to my parents.  I have never seen it this bad, and I THOUGHT I had seen bad.

Because they forget hating white ppl for being white is racism.. Not to mention they feel vindicated to act out against us now, saying we're suppressing them. I've never been racist, but I'm part of the generation that grew up in the reformed era. What I dont get is.. if america is SOOO racist as a whole. Why don't we see hispanics, asaian and other enthnic groups crying out about the oppressions? I get things need to be taken in hand with the police force... our goverment has WAY too much power to sweep things under the rub. A lot of black people HAVE died, but so have white people, hispanics, asians and other races. It's idiotic people are okay with saying 'black lives matter'. . . ALL LIVES MATTER. To seperate themselves the way they are by making it a 'black issue' ... is setting it up to be racial. . . it makes very little sense to me...

I agree with all of this and I am actually shocked that a post about this is staying this polite. I grew up in Cheyenne where we had few black students. I can honestly say I don't recall anyone caring one way or the other. They were very well liked people, sports, got good grades etc. Can't remember a thug amungst them or even the white kids acting like thugs. Now this with the current Prez and I don't think we will see people of different races getting along for years to come.

Living in Kansas, I had never been exposed to anything I considered racism in the innocent bubble that I lived in (as a young person).....then one evening after a rodeo several of us went to a club on the outskirts of Wichita.  We had a bareback bronc rider with us, nice looking, neat and polite and black.  The owner of the club promptly asked him to leave.   He left peacefully as if he was used to it and we all went with him.   Whole new chapter in my life.

I have never seen racism this bad or really never seen racism at all untill you know who became the Pres. We are so divided that its going to take decades to fix this mess, if it can be fixed. 
 I grew up with racism in a part of the south with a large black population.  Some of my older relatives were blatant, unapologetic racists, but by far most of the racism I witnessed and experienced was not from white people (I was physically attacked twice in jr high for being white--the principal was scared to do anything about it and we all knew it).  Things seemed to be getting better over time.  Slowly, but I could see positive changes taking place.  And then Obama came into office and started stirring the pot and we have been set back 50 years, according to my parents.  I have never seen it this bad, and I THOUGHT I had seen bad.

I agree with all of this and I am actually shocked that a post about this is staying this polite. I grew up in Cheyenne where we had few black students. I can honestly say I don't recall anyone caring one way or the other. They were very well liked people, sports, got good grades etc. Can't remember a thug amungst them or even the white kids acting like thugs. Now this with the current Prez and I don't think we will see people of different races getting along for years to come. 

This shows its a cultural thing, not race.

Just my opinion.

I always wondered what would happen if people started calling Obama a white president. After all, he's just as much white as he is black. I wonder if we will ever say a day when everyone is just lumped into one category......American. Wouldn't that be refreshing? I'd love to see the day when it becomes "politically incorrect" to refer to people by their nationality, color, or ethnicity. It will happen when minorities start demanding it more and more voiciferously. Some already are, but we need more. Politicians won't like the idea, because that kind of thing removes a powerful tool they use to divide us all. That's why they won't change important things in need of changing.....social security, income tax, etc....

We were military from the early 50's to early 70's.  Personally, I think it was a big mistake to do away with the draft.  I see alot of these young hoodlums who would greatly benifit from two year's under the tutlage of a Drill S
argent.  By the time that Drill Sargent got through locking their heels' together and chewing on them, they'd have a trade, work ethic, disipline and a whole new vocabulary.

Bear - 2015-04-30 10:31 AM I honestly think that the Democrat powers-to-be actually are behind most of these crises. They want them to grow and divert attention away from the debacles that are of their doing, particularly Hillary's mounting scandals. This is giving her some time to reconfigure her lies and deceptions and takes the heat off her. In a sense, this is a "wag the dog" maneuver, and the thugs are their operatives. Democrats need deep divisions, misery, poverty, and chaos in order to survive. If their isn't enough, they create it themselves. They need victims......black victims, gay victims, impoverished victims, jobless victims, female victims, you name it. The paradox is that, in reality, they actually love all of those things they claim to be fighting against. When any of those things seem to be decreasing, they stir it up, or even manufacture it. Why? Because a few select elites at the top can profit from it.....case in point, Al Gore. Case in point, the Clintons. Case in point, Obozo.
Come on, the conspirisy theory?  No, just thugs, there is no planning or wisdom behind this stuff.  How things haven't changed, I remember Watts.  20 years later the residents were complaining there were no business willing to rebuild their burned out neighborhood.  History ignored is history repeated.

For example, Al Sharpton, the Black Panters, and a whole host of liberal Democrats who love to point out to people that they are victims. They have spent their lives dividing people.

Your are describing my high school to a T, too. We had one black family move in and all of us were soo excited. The first year there the oldest daughter won a spot on the cheerleading team and on several UIL acedemic teams, her sister who was my age, played basketball and was one of the nicest most outgoing girls I have ever known. This was back in the late '70's/early '80's.

I am tired of the slave rhetoric. EVERY RACE HAS BEEN ENSLAVED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER IN HISTORY! The black people are the only ones that can't seem to rise above it collectively as a race. GET OVER IT PEOPLE.
