Rebranding Hate in the Age of Obama

We have people of all colors in the USA, this Country was founded on, All men are created Equal! So we know the White people wrote this declaration "Are founding Fathers as we call them" Now the Question is Fear? Are ancestor's came from across the pond looking for Freedom, Freedom of religion, Freedom of Speech, We see the numerous religions, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, etc,etc,etc, Are founding Fathers were driven by the Roman Christian Faith which had forced people to convert People of the Indo-European Race And others, Nordic, Scandinavian, German, Anglo Saxon descent. These people were Heathens, Pagans, Good Folk? Now we as white people have a identity crisis? Who are we? Well Christian is from the Middle eastern Race, Muslims are from the Middle eastern Race, Buddhists are Asian Race, Hindus Indian Race. There you'll find there believes intact! We have all festivities that deal with African, Mexican & others, etc,etc,etc, Now we as white People need to find our Roots? Look to the Pre-Christian believes of our Indo-European ancestry, and there you'll find yourself, No hate, No fear, just ones Right. And as we in the USA are naturally born here, or who have completed the corse to become Citizens, then we as a People should be aware of our right to live the American Dream"White, Black, Yellow, Red AMERICANS. & I'm sorry, but Jesus wasnt White!

There may well be some unsavory elements involved in white advocacy. But that in no way delegitimizes the efforts of other white advocates.

I support equal opportunity for everyone by outlawing discrimination in hiring and university admissions based on race, gender or sexual orientation. Affirmitive action is a crutch that hurts everyone.

I support freedom of association for everyone by outlawing policies that seek to impose EITHER segregation or integration. Its not the government's job to tell people who they can and can't associate with.

And I object to Newsweek articles that try to smear whites as "haters" when whites are the victims of 85% of interracial crimes. (Source: Dept of Justice Statistics)

I have no problem calling a spade a spade. If someone advocates violence or commits a crime they should be held accountable. But that principle should be applied equally to all and not used soley to smear one ethnicity. If Newsweek was going to do a story on hatred among whites they should have followed it up with other stories on hatred among blacks, hispanics, asians, jews, native americans, etc. Otherwise, it should be seen for what it is - A RACIALLY MOTIVATED SMEAR JOB.

"Why is it that when a black man wants to preserve his culture and heritage it's a good thing, and when a white person wants the same thing, we're called haters?" he says.

and why is it when the white people fight to defend "their" country, its called patriotism, but when us Native Americans fight to regard the land, our rights, our dignity of a people, demoralized by senseless violence and indignation, its called an "uprising" or "terrorism"

I'd like to cover briefly the following three questions: 1) Is racism funny?; 2) Can teachers explain racism? and 3) Can racists change?
I. Although dangerous, racism can also be funny. My wife (U. S. citizen via another country) once laughed when she saw a documentary about a famous black singer (Marian Anderson) they refused to let sing at the "Lincoln" Center because of her skin color. I asked, "what's so funny?" She said, "it was funny cause it didn't make sense."
???I thought about that for a while. I thought about a famous Irish tenor (Ronan Tynan) with big ears, who sings the national anthem once in awhile at Yankee Stadium. What if they wouldn't let him sing because of his big ears. She was right, it was pretty silly not to let her sing because her skin was not white.
???II. Teachers (I'm one) have a hard time these days explaining racism or slavery. The kids in school, just don't get it. They keep asking why -- when it comes to racism.

Returning Confederate soldiers were not happy to discover that they fought for years in order to try and maintain a way of life for a few aristocratic land/slave owners. Some are still upset. Unfortunately, today, many people are being manipulated by a republican aristocracy.

III. The only way racists will ever change, is for them to struggle with racism until they change their minds. I did, when I was a younger. I'm glad I don't have to face that issue on judgement day.

I believe that many are truly struggling with their thoughts. Some are rationalizing why they don't like President Obama. Instead of admitting the real reason, they call him a socialist, fascist, muslim, elitist, non-citizen, etc... I'm optimistic that their struggle will lead a few to change their minds.

...and if "they" choose not to change, then give them their own country. The ancient dinos were cold-blooded. The modern ones are cold-hearted and funny. They can call it Dinostan.

The spoof commercial from "The Eyes of Nye" said it best.

A long distance phone call to an old racist buddy: $2

Refreshments for a "white power" meeting $10

Explaining to a racist that ALL humans have the same genes and that our external appearances, which are used to classify us into races, represents less that .01% of our DNA: Priceless.

Explaining to the same racist that ALL humans came from Africa: Really great.

"It's about love, not hate."

There are two types of love in the world: selfless and selfish. Selfless love is unconditional and all inclusive. It leads to peace, partnership, and progress. Selfish love can be defined as love for one's self, family, tribe, clan or race only. Selfish love, at best, reserves only indifference to others who fall outside these categories. Indifference leads only to hate, strife and war. Selfless love can be difficult, but the rewards are greater. Selfish love is easy, but the price is greater. I may not be a religious man, but for those of you who are, I think you know where Jesus would stand on this.

These groups are spreading a message of selfishness and fear and are feeding on people's paranoia. They offer no hope for anyone's future. They are a dead end. They offer no solutions. If you find yourself agreeing with them I would suggest getting some rest and maybe going for a walk to chill out and get your head straight.

It's hard to shed our ideas of who we are, where we come from and where we want to go. It's a shame that the interests of some must contradict the interests of others. However, the non-hatred approach as it appears on paper offers a modicum of encouragement. It would be great to see a state of social equilibrium, in which all groups with some cultural and ethnic affiliation may feel encouraged to share who they are and contribute to the richness of the whole.

Anyone who would instill such hatred in the hearts of children deserves the be criminally charged with child abuse. What parent who loves their child would want them to grow up with such a heavy burden. That child in the picture is doomed. His parents should be punished.

This is no surprise to anyone. These hate-filled idiots have never disappeared. These low-lifes hide behind the consitution (free-speech). But, with , what happens when these idiots go beyond free-speech and act on their hetoric and, some inocent person is mureded or seriously injured. The fact is that these idiots only exists to kill or maim. People keep saying that America has come alon way. THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!

This is typical. Once again, it proves , that the lowest of life emerges from the sewer, to spread hate. I have nothing but contempt for these idiots. I understand, but, somewhere, an spit drooling moron will act on this so-called free speech.

extreamist have been fooling the mainstream for a long time. Bill Ayres is being introduced as ANTI WAR when he and the weathermen were never opposed to violence, and excited about a violent global revolution of violence they wanted to take to the american streets under the banner of Bring The War Home.
Now he's a community organiser. people need to wake up!

"'African-American president',,,,,,,,,,, Umm, I believe that Mr.Obama is half-black and half-white. Is that not true?"

To be fair, he was born in Africa. Making him more African than all the other "African-Americans."

"African-American president",,,,,,,,,,, Umm, I believe that Mr.Obama is half-black and half-white. Is that not true? I guess I must be a moron because I thought his father was black and his mother was white.Is there any reason that all these intelligent media personnel types do not know this? Do they choose to keep telling the half truth or are they being forced? For what it matters I believe Mr. Obama to be a human being, at least until I can disprove that. If these intelligent media personnel need to call him something why not the truth, "Halfrican-American president".

Regardless how hard they try, hate groups will not suceed in their malignant mission. Most of their members are ignorant or uneducated. In addition, they are more likely end up in jail or morgue sooner than anyone with an average IQ.
