The Black man says Whites need to change their racist ways.
OK, so how about this?
How about Blacks stay in school, pull their pants up, stop gang banging and shooting their brothers and sisters and get a job instead of griping about a past they know nothing of except what they have been told and; stop looking for handouts from the government.
I’m sick and tired of being blamed for something that was done in the past and that I or anyone alive today had a part in. I, and the White race in general, are being blamed for actions that happened over 150 years ago.
Grow up, and stop blaming the world for the way you choose to act and live, it’s no ones fault but your own!
Since the late 1960’s and early 1970’s we have ALL pretty much been on an even playing field where jobs, money and education are involved, the idea of *White privilege* is nothing more than an outright LIE! Anyone that wants an education can get an education; it’s not getting the education that presents the problem, it’s having the whereto to make USE that education to the benefit of yourself, your family and society as a whole.
The Confederate flag is a focal point in American history. I have my own personal and deep feelings about it and what it means to me and it is NOT about hatred and racism, it’s about the heritage of the South and their courage to take a stand and fight to separate from the United States over what they believed was being denied to them: States’ Rights.
Today there ARE groups that use the Confederate flag as a symbol of hatred but those people are the scum of the earth; Klan, Skinheads and Nazis, over all the most uneducated and illiterate group of WHITE TRASH imaginable.
The New Black Panthers have held events where they trampled the American flag. Why do you suppose they would do that? Trample the Confederate flag because they are terribly stupid and misguided as to it’s meaning, OK, maybe so, but why the American flag?
Many claimed to believe that the election of Barack Hussein Obama would bring about the end of racism in America; Obama was supposed to be the *Post racial President*.
Nothing could be further from the truth, racism is worse now, all over this nation, than it was when I was a boy growing up in Texas, Louisiana, and in the racial hotbed of that time, Mississippi.
I don’t care whether you agree with me or not, the Confederate flag is NOT the source of this racial division, it is merely a symbol of HISTORY that is an easy target for attack by haters and an easy target to BAN in an effort to end racism in America via pacification as opposed to taking REAL action.
Symbols are NOT the reason for racism and no matter what gets banned, it will NOT change the thoughts of today and it will NOT change history.
I am seriously offended by homosexual marriage, Liberals and their ideas regarding abortion, guns, voter identification and the like but the principles this nation was founded on is easily understood if you read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
Free Speech is often interpreted as freedom of expression as well.
You can stand on the street corner and preach *I HATE AMERICA* all day long. You can support *abortion on demand*. You can try to have the 2nd Amendment overturned and to have ALL guns removed from the land, and that is, according to the Supreme Court and most Liberal scholars, the U.S. Constitution doing the job as it was intended to do.
But you become every kind of bigoted racist in the world if you stand and support your right to fly a Confederate flag or to wear same on your clothing.
I still wonder; just WHO are the REAL racists?
Hypocrisy abounds … Deo vindice!
In the interest of Fair and Balanced; the top 3 paragraphs were paraphrased from a comment on Facebook. That comment was so poorly written that I rewrote it using proper diction, grammar, spelling and punctuation because as bad as the original comment was, it inspired me to write this blog post.
You are absolutely correct on every point, Fred, and I believe the majority of the racism prevalent today emits from the black community. There are Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons in the black community that make money keeping this pot stirred and tended, and until black America realizes this and stops it themselves, it will never stop. I’ve never been racist that I know of, I don’t judge people by the color of their skin; and can see the content of a lot of black folks character inclined to the bad side, and it goes all the way to those in leadership positions. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is a great example. Stopping racism has to start at home.
WOW!! You really nailed that one Fred. I couldn’t agree more with every word. keep up the good work.
Racism and intolerance are when you refuse to believe the best of other people; assigning traits to others is prejudice.
Hmmm … can’t have a Voter ID law because the over-educated Liberal guilty whites claim (assign a trait) that blacks (others) are not able to attain proper ID (they are too stupid/illiterate/uneducated to follow basic instructions, thereby not believing the best of people).
Nope, no racism, intolerance or prejudicial activity going on there! /sarc
Mr Obama and his ilk, Leftists, aren’t uniters, they are dividers. They profit, literally and figuratively, from division. It keeps them in power and it keeps the issue on the table so that they may continue to profit politically and financially.

Those are key words used by small minded people to try and make other people feel ‘white guilt’. My life’s experiences have taught me that I haven’t had any privileges because of my race. Quite the opposite actually.
Back when our oldest son was little, we were renting paying high rent on a little house, and just found out we were going to have son #2.. we decided we needed a house of our own. Hubby’s pay being what it was we were low income so I called one of those fannie/freddie places that was supposed to help low income folks get into a home of their own. I was told very bluntly I was the wrong race.
Hey, stop being such a stranger, your strong voice and common sense Conservatism is a welcomed addition…
I’ve made my position well known on blacks in the last blog by Fred. It was kinda short, but spot on with Fred’s statement here.
Those of us who are being accused of being white and racist are becoming mighty resentful of it. Blacks have NOT seen what real racism is. In fact, very very few blacks alive today have not an inkling of real racism. We The People have a high tolerance, but the pot is going to boil over soon if attitudes and accusations don’t change.
I remember when I was a child and I would cry over something stupid and my parents would tell me to stop it and grow up. And when I would refuse to quit with my whining, my parents, who were getting really annoyed with my childish behavior, would then say, stop your crying or I will give you something to really cry about.
It’s Like That.
