Response to "Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black"....
I sent the article "Imagine if the Tea Party was Black" ( http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/?p=70545 ) to a friend, and he forwarded it to a guy who sends him RW stuff. Below is the guys answer to the piece.

If you haven't read "Imagine... Black", you should.

Amazing racism in the response. I wonder if these people are even aware of their own racism. I wonder if they are aware of their minority status.

People used to say this shit to their friends - face to face - but certainly didn't broadcast it. The racial environment in this country is, in many ways, worse than it was 30 years ago.

Response:
"That's a load of liberal bs
the author cherry picks incidents and then uses them to paint with a broad brush.

what about the lack of press coverage of the Channon murder in Knoxville where four black thugs raped, sodomized and murdered two white teens.

you didn't hear about that in the MSM
well, if they were black you sure would have

what about the Duke rape case, which turned out to be a lie
ooops

The reports of white tea partyers 'spitting' on black congressmen and calling them 'niggers' was not ever proven with an audio tape, even though a video of the event exists
it's more liberal propaganda

all the armed white people were peaceful
and they were defending the 2nd amendment

what happens when black people get armed in groups?
I'm reminded of the courtroom invasion by the Black Panthers back in the early 70's (?)
the judge got killed in the shoot out

blacks are way more criminal than whites
we all know that
large groups of armed blacks usually belong to criminal gangs
same with Mexicans

As for Rush Limbaugh, he regularly insults white liberals,
he's also a pompous ass

as for me, I'm sick of being made to feel guilty about some so-called white privilege
privilege my a**

go to China and talk to the Chinese about Chinese privilege
-- because China doesn't allow non -Chinese to be citizens etc

how about jewish privilege
because no non-jew may become a citizen of Israel,
or marry a non-jew in Israel,
or be part of the 'special chosen ones'

etc

this republic was formed by and for white people
the citizenship act of 1791 makes that very clear
yes, slavery was a big mistake
another big mistake was not repatriating all the freed slaves back to Africa
the other big mistake was to open up the country to non-white immigration
America was never meant to be a 'proposition nation'
a nation based on ideas and values
that's utopian fantasy


all races and cultures have their own ways and values that they cherish
that's why the Mexicans insist on having their Cinquo de Mayo here etc
what's wrong with keeping America a European/white country?
why are we made to feel guilty about having this feeling?

it is impossible to have different ethnic groups living in harmony at close quarters
history proves that

white people have been saddled with a giant guilt complex
we're the bad guys
and our white guilt allows other groups to play us as the fool

frankly, I'm done with that

what will America be like when it looks like Brazil?
what will our country be like when it's one third white?
what will that be like to live in?
does it make any difference?
does race matter?
that's really what this is all about.

I've come to my own personal conclusions after much soul searching:
yes, race does matter
race is real
and it's normal and natural to be for your own race
not to hate other races but to value your own

as for white privilege
I'm all for it
as long as we earned it it's ours"

3. Yup, that would be the last time I ever spoke to that person again.
The email address would be marked as dangerous spam and auto deleted.

6. frankly, I stand in awe
that these people get the memos and use them verbatim, more or less, to discount anything the left has to say.

I posted the same on another board and got the "when can you folks stop seeing things as black/white" bullcrap. While they're talking about hauling a 20 ton block of coal to Mt. Rushmore.

Why can't we as progressives do things like that instead of having to defend Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi,and the rest of the democratic representatives?

I mean, jeez, these guys would let tom delay back into the speakers chair in a moment given the chance.

9. When I last checked, Spanish was a European language
Did that change?

BTW, I would LOVE to see Americans look more like Brazilians... Has anyone ever seen their women?



Va-va-voom!

10. Your "friend" is a racist.
I'd be sorely tempted to ask this person what he personally has done to "earn" white privilege. Not that it could possibly change his mind, but I imagine his answer would be amusing.

12. "As long as we've earned it it's ours" ?
Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 03:39 PM by Hansel
Well then it's not theirs.

The people who provided that "white privilege" were the American Indians and Mexicans whose land they stole. The Black slaves who built most of the south and some of the north, the Chinese who worked as slaves to build railways. And all minorities, but especially Hispanics, who still work for below market wages to provide low cost products and services so this fool can view himself as the "white privileged".

Then there are all of the other brown people around the world whose lands have been stolen and exploited, and work for cents a day to provide this fool with his so called "white privilege".

Your friend's acquaintance is a 1st degree racist and no doubt has done very little in his life to "earn" any privilege much less a privilege based on his race.

I should not leave off the list exploiting and subjugating women, Irish and Italians among other minority groups so that fools like this could pretend he's earn some kind of "privilege".

I can guarantee this tool is also a liar. He claims to have done some soul searching. I think there is very strong evidence that he does not have one.
