Looks like Lee still will be giving his 2 negative votes even though he's banned.

Well put, friend.

Conservative women and conservative black men are really just Old White Males. Isn't that obvious?

"the very people who hold themselves up as champions of your race and/or sex will not hesitate to side with your oppressors and throw you under the bus. "

That makes the inaccurate assumption that those very same liberals aren't ultimately the oppressors. By demanding ideological purity amongst their captive victim groups they are the oppressors. You can have advancement, but only when and where the group think of the party allows you to. Start thinking for yourself and you will be attacked because thinking for yourself is dangerous.

the NAACP needs racism to be kept alive...else they're out of a job.

but only the right kind of racism! The blatant of the New Black Panthers, Robert Byrd, etc...no problem.

IMAGINARY racism by the Tea Party...now THAT is a problem!

politics are why the NAACP and feminists have lost all relevance except with the MFM where politics trump objectivity and integrity.

Jay Tea,

You wrote:

Gladney, it appears, was not targeted on the basis of his race, but his political beliefs. There is no racial element in his situation.

I have to point you to a report by Andrew Breitbart where he says:

Last week, a black gentleman named Kenneth Gladney went to a town-hall meeting hosted by Rep. Russ Carnahan, Missouri Democrat. While passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, he was viciously attacked by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members. One called him a "nigger."

Cheers :)

That's funny. I am ruddy white sooo that makes me a ruddy white-American.

Ive got olive colored skin. So I guess that make's me an olive oil Italian American.

Srew you NAAraCeP.

Liberals don't think of themselves as 'oppressors'. But then, they don't think of themselves as hypocrites either.

When will the Southern Poverty Law Center brand the NAACP a "hate group"?

Since the NAACP wants to brand 'certain' Tea Party people as Racist!, would they care to NAME who those individuals are?

Well, now both sides of the culture war have something to agree on: it doesn't matter what race (Michael Steele, Alan Keyes) or sex (Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer) you are, if you have the same political beliefs we do, you are welcome to be on our side.

This is progress, people, despite the rancor. Now, if the Republican Party can learn to use logic, finesse, and better propoganda in its marketing efforts, we just might carry this thing.

I am sick and tired of people belly-aching. Gosh the poorest/worst of us still has it better than most of the world.
I do believe everyone should be treated decent and repectful. But this group does want to keep the old flames burning, some people are just happy constantly complaining and they have that planation/take care of mentality. Whereas other blacks/women just want to be plain old Americans with a fair chance at living a good life as God intended.

JayTea,

I tried all of these and I'm sticking with black...Although I must say, colored isn't so bad; considering it's a word that covers all bases...Therein is the rub though, cause colored covers everything from black to white...So if we can use white for pink folks, I think black's for brown folks...Dang none of this makes sense anymore...

Okay I'm just a person...

The NAACP is long past being needed. Like unions and horse and buggy's. NO doubt there was a need and they performed great deeds but now they are useless. Like NOW, Unions, etc. All were needed in a time in history but now they are not needed at all. They know this thus the reason they have to make up problems and challenges.

Bluenight, conservatives and republicans do have a great marketing strategy but you should know that our communication is limited to talk radio, Fox News and blogs. They have been and will be a more effective tool for the future, but the dems have ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, late night talk shows, etc. When you add all that up and we still get our message out, we are doing a fantastic job. ww

(An aside: I don't care for most of those terms. I haven't been able to take "colored" seriously since "Dr. Detroit," when a black woman objected to the term by saying "Nobody colored me, I was born this way!" I have a bias against "African American" or "Afro-American" because I don't like "American" being hyphenated, a lot of those going by the term have only tangential ties to Africa, and a lot of others who do have closer ties to the continent don't qualify by being white or Arabic. And black? Most "black" people aren't any more "black" that I am "white:" they're shades of brown, while I'm pinkish-tan. But whatever. I'm going to stick with "black" unless I have a reason to use another.)

I've always used the term "black" because in my medical practice, just about every person of that persuasion who is a patient uses that same term.

However, if you need a moment of zen to better clarify the stupidity of describing an entire race as "-American", one need only go back to an ESPN sportscenter update during the Mike&Mike show a few years ago. The "black" woman doing the update was reporting on Lewis Hamilton winning the Formula 1 championship. For those who don't know, Hamilton is "black" and he is also from the United Kingdom. The woman reported that Hamilton was "the first African-Aaaaaaaa.....mumble-mumble......to win the Formula 1 championship". I guess someone wrote the politically correct term for Hamilton's color, while not considering that it didn't quite fit for Hamilton. As she read it off the teleprompter, she realized she couldn't call him what he was, black, and what he wasn't, American.

Has anybody ever gotten the memo as to what we are to call blacks from other countries?

If you did you better hurry and forward it to ESPN. Thierry Henry just signed with the MLS.

"African-French"???

Unless there is money,power or lawyers involved no one really cares what you call people not of the white persuasion.
I prefer to ask their name and use that frankly.
