Quote From: rharkcomLet's start off by saying that Paul Mooney was an absolute idiot on that show and he is more rascist then any white person I have met. As mentioned by many people already, most blacks or more rascist then white people.
Rascism will NEVER go away because the blacks are going to keep it here, they feed off of it and they love the drama. Yes, we say just let it go...trust me...they won't!
I hate the word African-American! No black person in this country should be called an African-American unless he was born in Africa and moved to the U.S. at some point. My ancestors are Irish...I am not running around screaming I am Irish-American. I am a white American!!! We should be ALL called Americans and be done with it and quit making that division between race. For instance, as harmless as it sounds...when you see on the news or when you watch the olympics and you hear, "Joe Smith" was the first African-American to get a medal in any swimming event. Right there is causing division and keeping rascism around!!! WHO CARES....we are all Americans, if you were born inthis country!!
Then Hill made a comment about BET....that it was owned by some other company...whatever...that wasn't the point dummy! The point is that if there was White Entertainment Television (WET) then it would be rascist, and if we had award shows for white people only it would be rascist.
I heard that McCain was on the view the other morning and Whoopi made a comment, and asked McCain if he becomes president if he will make blacks slaves again.....WHAT...WTF???
I could go on forever with this issue, blacks bring it on themselves. I will close with this though. I was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania, and our area was 100% white. I didn't know about rascism then becuase it wasn't talked about. My first experience with black people was when I joined the military in 1992. I am still in the military and have some great friends that are black. I moved to Norfolk Virginia and have become....well I wouldn't say rascist, but I would say very cautious or skeptical of my surroundings. Blacks wonder why they are treated different....all I can say is watch the news here in Norfolk for a week or two and travel through Norfolk and see what I see. You will see nothing but blacks on the news killing people, robberies...etc. Then you will have your occassional white guy on there that got caught stealing a catalytic converter probably for some drug money. I am not saying that all the white people here are good and innocent, because they are not. BUT DAMN.....we could be better off in this city if have these thugs would just disappear. Then you have idiots like Al Sharpton that is NOT helping the blacks one bit. I tell you Mr. Sharpton...come to Norfolk Virginia and see how your race acts and preach to these thugs that it ISN'T hard to just do the right thing each day and go one day without breaking any laws!
I'm off my soap box! People just need to realize where the rascism is really coming from and where it starts. Rascim is NEVER going away!!! The blacks will keep it here forever and half of them don't even now how to spell slavery!
I am delighted at your posting. It is absolutely hilarious to hear you refer to, New York Times best selling author Hill Harper as a dummy. Your lack of critical thinking abilities are revealed in the fact you were unable to connect his comment to the claim of racial division by Blacks.
Let me try to explain it to you
BET is owned by VIACOM,
VIACOM is not a fictitious group of Black mililitants bent on dividing the races
VIACOM owns many white programming ( the Dr. Phil show and CSI)
VIACOM has created this illusion of Black programming for marketing and profit purposes
Hence, this is not an action on behalf of the Black community to maintain division of the races
Next, you demonstrate your stupidity with your comments on White Entertainment Television. Blacks are a historically marginilized group. Part of the task of uplifttment must include an acknowledgement of our contributions (to art, literature, etc) that have long went unrecognized. Whites have always been the majority in this country, therefore, there is no need to highlight the fact that works are geared toward them. Check the inclusion of Black characters on television; every channel is White Entertainment Television. Check the inclusion of Black authors in the American cannon; that's why African-American literature is necesarry.
I could go on, but I think this is all you can handle for now!
This two-syllable expression is arguably the most divisive word in society. Dr. Phil tackles this touchy topic with help from a panel of outspoken luminaries: civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton; legendary comedian and writer Paul Mooney; CSI actor and author Hill Harper; comedian Sheryl Underwood and conservative radio talk show host Michael Graham. First, is there a double standard that allows African-Americans to use this sensitive word, while non-blacks are forbidden? The debate heats up when Rachel, a white guest, says she calls her husband the N-word all the time. Then, should hip-hop artists be censored or fined for using the N-word in their songs? Becky says rappers promote negative stereotypes with their lyrics, but find out who Rev. Al Sharpton thinks should face the music. Plus, does tone or intent make a difference when using the N-word? See what Dr. Phil thinks and share your thoughts here.
