There's a difference between hating one's self because of being white, and hating stupid mother****ers that are white.

The point is that racists are Republicans. Some Republicans may not be racist, but they choose to vote for politicians who are rascist. They don't care about racism as much as other issues. To me these 'moderates' are borderline.

There are racists everywhere Kid... even on the Dems. In Chicago, there are a large amount of Daley supporters that I would consider to be racists. They aren't as overboard as people like Lott, Thurmond, and Helms... but they exist. To single out the Republican party is wrong. There are a great majority of Republicans who aren't racists. You are focusing on a few and making a sweeping generalization. While I share the notion that the Republican party is generally evil, it's not fair to call ALL of them racists.

WTF? Actually, what I said was that at night in a rough neighborhood, if a group of blacks come towards me I'm likely to cross the street, but then again this is likely no matter what race it is. This is personal safety, and I don't give a **** if it hurts feelings.

I have to disagree with you. MOST Republicans are racist. Remember that there are two types of racists. You have the Nazi type of racist that is very vocal, and then you have the type that says that they aren't racist, but elects politicians who support racist policies. Keep in mind that they claim that those policies aren't racist, but in fact they are.

I thought Sava, you're the one who always said i shouldn't use a few individuals to describe the attitudes of a whole group of people... you used just one...

and i know literally dozens of black people who do like Colin Powell and Rice and Thomas and whoever else... they just think they're democrats or they respect them even if they dont agree with them (and many do agree with them still). so over 30 individuals' viewpoints is a better sample of 'black attitudes' than your oreo friend's father.

of course blacks support reparations....if you thought you could get free money you'd support it, too. If there are any slaves still alive, then I'd be all for it. And even black who are over a certain age. But younger blacks did not go through slavery or discrimination and therefore, I don't feel they're anymore entitled to reparations than I am.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

At the end of the civil war a large number of slave owners were bankrupt. My family definitely owned slaves, but after the war they were bankrupt and lost everything. What I have now isn't a result of money my ancestors made off the sweat of slaves' backs, but instead comes from what they managed to do for themselves after everything they made off of their slaves was gone. A more important issue is the way blacks were beaten down after the war.

Or what about free blacks who themselves bought slaves? Are we supposed to give the decendents of former slave holders reparations?
