Interesting point aobut the silent majority. It is one reason why no civil rights or anti-discrimination laws have ever been passed thru a public vote. All progress made in this nation has been made via bully pullpit or thru legal action. It would be interesting to know where the silent majority is on this issue, however based on your view, anything pro-minority is anti-white. A curious position to have indeed.
Actually you got drunk (again) years ago and cried online about being a drunk lard ass whose wife had dumped him like a ton of bricks. False. Complete fabrication. Prove me wrong. Don't need to, your thread ratings alone tell the story dopey. Oh, so now thread ratings are some kind of measure? Of a lack of intelligence of the voters more than likely, or political bias...but it makes more money for the ET Dictator, so it is a good thing. It indicates nothing of the kind. Of course it does. Anyone who has to gather support from or the agreement of others does not have a position that stands on its own merit. That is a lemming or herd mentality...they just follow the crowd.
Quite the contrary; it seems that anything "pro white" is necessarily "anti minority" according to the PC demagogues. A curious position to have. That's precisely one of the bigger issues, and highlights the hypocrisy. If any other ethnic group except for white people gather as an ethnic group, organize as a group, and pursue group interests together, it's perfectly legitimate, EXCEPT when white people do it. Then it somehow becomes "hate", "racism", and "a cancer of society". The curious position is that of the PC orthodoxy, as to why whites are uniquely evil for organizing to pursue group interests, or having a sense of cultural pride, or ethnic identity, the assertion that anything "pro white" must be "anti minority", yet "pro minority" isn't necessarily "anti white". I think my position is the far more logically reconcilable.
If some ex cons gather together, is there natural suspicion? Yep. Whites in America, have a history of racist practices...with the red man first, then the black man, then Asians, etc. Suddenly the white man is feeling threatened of losing his control? Payback is a bitch.
Allow me to retort Can you name one instance, just one, where anything pro "business" de jure was not anti minority de facto? Why was Affirmative Action implemented in the first place? Could it be because systematic racism denyed minorities access to jobs and to capital? Which in turn hindered the ability for minorities build a firm financial base on which to stand? Did Italians build the mafia on GP? Did Chinatown become Chinatown just because? How about Harlem? What measures could u implement to insure that this systemic discrimination against minorities, which is far greater than anything done to whites, does not happen again?
Wrong again cab driver in the sky... You claimed that everyone...yada, yada, yada. I stated that you are wrong categorically, because not everyone would vote the same way. Everyone means everyone, and I am certain your poll would prove that not everyone...yada, yada, yada. Voting on threads via the ET rating system? Pfft, most liberals don't even waste their time....as they know it is a waste of time. It is the same folks voting the party line. So post your poll, try to prove me wrong. I know you can't...
The only thing that comes close is Borg vs. McEnroe, or maybe Chris Everett and Martina Navratilova. Rafa vs. Federrer, Connors vs. McEnroe, etc. Years of outstanding competition. In boxing, it would be Ali vs. Frazier. In boxing, generally you only get at best 3 fights between two greats. One on one...nothing better. Basketball is great, because you get a team concept and still the one on one matchups like Magic and Bird.
It is regrettable that sports and sports is alone is where we can compete as human beings. I relish first contact because I believe that is the only way are going break out of whites, blacks, reds and yellows.
I'm not sure it is sports alone. I don't know anyone who hears Jimi play guitar and say, "Oh, that black dude could play." Or listens to Carlos Santana play and says, "Oh, that Hispanic dude could play." Michael Jackson transcended race to a great extent with his music. I don't think today people think of Richard Pryor as one of the greatest black comics...they just think of him as one of the greatest comics. Most people who listen to Stevie Wonder sing rarely think, "Oh he is that black blind guy." Denzel Washington is considered one of the finest actors of his generation...not because his is black. Who wouldn't want to play golf with Samuel Jackson (an avid golfer)? Who wouldn't want to hear an audio book read by James Earl Jones? So there are some areas where progress has been made. In the political arena? Almost impossible, because of the natural divisions in politics. In business people admire the successful and secretly despise their success. The beauty of sports though, is that when guys like Bird and Magic were playing, I doubt race actually ever came to their mind in a negative way. Magic could say "That white guy can't jump, but man can he beat your ass." Bird might say "That Magic is unstoppable...I hate it when he beats us" and though there was hatred...at losing, rarely is there hatred of the person you are losing to in the way racists hate a person just because of the color of their skin. Sports can be pure, so can music, acting and comedy...in those areas the greats bear their souls to the world...and we love them for it. The truly talented...they make us laugh, they make us cry, they sooth our hearts and make our heats ache, they make us go ooooh and awwww...touch that part of us that is common to all men and well beyond race. I think Colin Powell had a chance to change the world, to bring us together...but he completely blew it by compromising himself in front of the U.N. Obama has made compromises good and bad politically, but more than anything I believe he has compromised himself in the process...sad actually, he got some very bad advice in the beginning, surrounded himself with some bad advisers, and got lost in the process. He had potential, but in the words of Andrew Young, when asked about Obama in 2008, Young said: "I really like Obama...in 8 years."
