"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin;
"And when politicians find that honor and character matter less than buying votes and a constituency, that too will herald the end of the Constitution. When that happens we must work tirelessly to change their minds, or their occupation!" - Hoping The Blind Will See

I'm So Tired Of Racism and The "Race Card"

` Here's a link that I think you'll find informative, and it somewhat addresses the "Racism Card" syndrome that has swept through America for years, and, in my opinion, continues to prevent racial healing to this day. http://www.gopusa.com/theloft/?p=1755 I'm tired of the politicians stoking the "racism" fire. That card is invoked regularly by many black "leaders" in America. It's my belief that many black politicians have no intention of healing race relations - it's not part of their agenda because it's counter-productive to that agenda, and would make them irrelevant in society. In my view, if they were truly leaders, they would conduct themselves more like Colon Powell, Condalleza Rice, Clarence Thomas, Bill Cosby, and Denzel Washington (and there are others), who, even though I do not agree with all the views that some of them hold, none-the-less conduct themselves with dignity and aplomb, and all act reasonably. Current black "leaders", including our esteemed President, should demonstrate dignity and restraint and common sense when dealing with this sensitive issue instead of inciting racial tension with their rhetoric. They should try to insert themselves into instances and circumstances of racial conflict to be diffusers, not inciters. But in reality, these black "leaders" are not really leaders at all, they're nothing more than racial activists hiding behind their thinly veiled mantle of respectability. When will we stop the madness, and just live by the Constitution and Bill of Rights? In my view, life in America would be much less complicated if we did. Today, President Obama went on the air in an attempt to "clear the air". We'll see if he's successful, but my opinion is that he failed. Time will tell. But here's a question for you. Before this is all over, will we find out that Henry Gates is another "radical friend", like William Ayers and Reverend Jeremiah Wright, that Barack Obama will have to jetison for political expediency? And when will we all finally acknowledge that the friends you choose help to define who you are? Wake up America!
