You call me “troll-boy” and you’re trying to tell ME not to provoke people?

If that is the way it is, then ban me you hypocrite.

so long as I am on that exception list.

and choosing to ignore why they were started in the first place. That’s indicative of a certain ideology. Bear in mind, there are also Polish-American organizations and Russian-American organizations, etc. There are even British-American organizations, believe or not. No one cares. No one complains. No one would complain if all the Italians in Congress started an Italian-American Caucus.

Affirmative Action programs were restructured or modified not because they weren’t needed but because they weren’t working as intended. Or because they failed to have the desired effect except in the case of white women. Affirmative Action has been wildly successful for white women.

greatest failure. Look at the history we have been on the “right” side of it since the beginning. Unfortunately we have allowed the same people that created and passed the Jim Crowe laws to dictate race policy ever since the then senate majority leader and later president Johnson destroyed republican president dwight Eisenhower’s civil rights legislation in the senate. It is of interest to note that after assuming the presidency from Kennedy he then pushed through almost identical legislation.

I picked this fight with you tonight for a reason, and no it wasn’t to pick on you but to suggest a radical idea to you. You wrote:

” It’s like asking why there isn’t a Miss White America contest or why there isn’t a Congressional White Caucus. Sheer stupidity, which plays into the meme of conservatives being racists.”

I suggest to you and anyone else reading that we should question these very things. Loudly and in public. You see we have allowed ourselves to be divided and frankly conquered. Explain why a predominately religious group of people like blacks (notice I didn’t use African-American there’s little to nothing African about our cousins) vote democrat by nearly ninety percent? Are they pro abortion? No. Are they pro gay? No. Yet election after election you see the same result. It’s because we have set quietly by and allowed the liberals to erect the ultimate strawman… Me…. The white conservative southern man. We have done nothing for fear of being painted as racists to ensure the integration of blacks into the fabric of America. Certainly some like Mr. Cain have made it on their own but where were we demanding that they not be allowed to separate themselves socially, politically and economically at the so called end of segregation? We were told they needed separate institutions, university and political bodies to defend their rights and we bought it. In fact you used that very argument tonight.

Separate but equal didn’t work during segregation and it isn’t working now. Consider that since Johnson’s great society black poverty has fallen 1%. Can you really honestly gauge 1% in the numbers we are discussing? I suspect its within the margin off error.

So yes we should question any institution that uses race as a disqualifier. We should question it often and in public. We should demand rational for the separation and it had better be a d@mn good reason. It is this very separation that has led to black poverty, hopelessness and rage I believe. Imagine having everyone in a position of authority your whole life telling you there is this evil “white” conspiracy that hates you and wants you to suffer. Then imagine living in the fallout of liberal policies like most poor blacks.
Couple that with the lie that only whites can be racist (racism takes only hatred discrimination takes power) and you have the ingredients for full blown racial hatred. Sound familiar at all? Throw in a dash of supposed favoritism (affirmitive action) and now both sides are infighting.
Yes we should questioning the naacp, black caucus ect…. We should be on the record questioning these things. I firmly believe we will not survive if we cannot become one people. I am not saying abandon our individual heritage. I live in Texas and I love cinco de mayo, any excuse to drink margaritas. I am also German so you will find me at you guessed it German fest eating brauts and sour crout.

But as a country, we cannot be separate but equal. As republicans we cannot allow the greatest lie ever told to persist, that we are the racist.
We have started a new century in America, and a decade in we are doing pretty poorly. Let’s not screw this up. Let’s let the sins of the 20th century die with it. We are better than this, this can be the greatest century in American history I firmly believe that but first we must clean up some old messes.
When someone says white,black,Asian or Hispanic only for gods sake question it and do it loudly and proudly. As Margrett Thatcher so famously said ” first you win the debate then you win the election”.
God bless…..

post….
You are certainly no coward…..
Your responses though I disagree with, have demonstrated your willingness to debate even a lightning rod subject like race… It would be unfair for me not to retract my statement….
I was wrong………

I grew up in Central Florida and (very unusually for my neighborhood and family) have always been an extremely bookish person. I devoured the newspapers (the local newspaper was/is the Tampa Tribune) and have always been right of the middle, though someone very interested in conserving our world for future generations to enjoy and not given to short-term focus. Being on the dating scene isn’t very enjoyable–as someone who doesn’t drink often or much (I am a moderationist, not opposed to drinking in moderation, just not a drinker personally), there aren’t many places to meet someone, outside of church (which is where almost all of my relationships have come from, though there have been none for the last few years).

Indeed, you’re far more familiar with Cain then I am. I’m not familiar with a lot of talk show radio hosts other than Rush and a few others like Prager and Medved (who I know either from their writings–Prager’s, or for their support of Intelligent Design, like Medved). I must say I’m a pretty rare conservative who doesn’t live by talk radio.

infighting got us McCain. EE’s current post reflects the 99% probability that Romney will be the nominee because the infighting is hindering consolidation. We have 4 viable candidates to choose from. All the candibots need to stop attacking each other, start promoting the positives of their candidate, and let the voters decide who the nominee should be.

Now is the time to stop, not in a couple of weeks, not after Iowa or NH or SC or etc, Now!

to think that conservatives must consolidate only around Perry. I don’t really give a hoot who we consolidate around, let’s just consolidate. Obviously, Perrybots want stop until they’ve made the entire conservative movement useless in this election.
