16. Insofar as Gerald...

But mon petitie...

You ARE a racist. Your argument defines you.

Insofar as Faux News, they do lend credibility to racist commentators, pandering to that part of their viewership. The principle driver for ignoring Faux though is political. There is no reason to expect that a Democrat or progressive candidate is going to get fair treatment, or a fair airing of their views there...

And that goes double for any minority candidate.

Faux already has tried a racist hit job on Obama, falsely claiming he attended radical Moslem schools in Indonesia - without doing the fact checking for which CBS was rightfully castigated for in the Bush National Guard Memo fiasco.

CBS fired 4 editors immediately, and ultimately Dan Rather.

The sort of integrity you are just not going to see from Faux.

Faux is simply a propaganda whore for the Reich...

So why bother?

17. So whats the story? Liberals live but by one mantra, "Dont let the facts confuse the issues", and who set Liberals up to judge that the "facts" shown on TV, regardless if it's Fox News or whomever, is racist.

There are some blacks that are the biggest racists in the world, but you'll never get the Liberal kook jobs to admit it.

18. i have never heard any of obama's political views on anything, nothing. have you? maybe that's why no news channel has attacked obama on his views, because no one knows what they are?

19. From Bob Lanford - "There are some blacks that are the biggest racists in the world..."

But those black folks don't have their own national TV "news" network...

Or political party.

Devil is in the details!

21. I'm so glad the person that posted this clip is one minded sided. Why dont u try to show all the video and lets see everything that was said. I have seen most of these clips. It makes me laugh just like the Dem. Fox news isnt racist. Watch the whole clip not just a lil bit. For fox news they have both sides REP. and DEM. can u say that for the rest ? NO u cant. Bush has the most blacks in his office but u dont care do u ? Its funny the black REP. are good ppl and the black DEM. talk about them like they are dogs. So is that fair?

22. The funny thing is that African slaves complained less than blacks today do. I can say this with as much certianty as blacks can about slavery because NEITHER of us experienced it. The only person keeping someone down is themselves.

23. I laugh at people who bring up the NAACP or Black Caucus as a defense for their racism. Do any of you know why these organizations were started? Do you actually know what they represent? My guess would be NO! You just see a bunch of black people and the first thing you want to yell out is "RACISM." Whether you believe it or not, racism still exist against black Americans. Although, the race card is played entirely too much now and days, if you are tired of hearing it then why don't you go after those who caused the initial grievances in the first place. Those who do things against someone because of race. Stop aligning yourself with those who discriminate and let them know you do not support their actions. That's the only way to end that being a valid argument.

You claim that these groups are racist because.....? Yes, their are groups out there that "blame the white man" but they are not supported as much as you think. They are a small minority within the minority. They become popular every time white America does something against black America and then goes on the defensive when Black America speaks up. How many organizations already cater to white America? More than you know. WAKE UP, AMERICA! You cannot be that blind. Stop complaining about groups trying to level the playing field. You complain about groups trying to ensure checks snd balances and yet you do nothing to fix the initial problem in the first place. RACISM SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. However, it has become an accepted norm and a necessary evil to those who abuse the system and it's power of it's people. You want to end these groups? Get rid of their need to right wrongs done against Americans. You want them to stop using the race card, stop doing things that make it so easy for it to be pulled. If you don't see the need, you are probably the ones doing the damage and are part of the greater problem.

You might want to discuss that with Nat Turner...

25. I am sick and tired of reading about and hearing black interest groups villanize others because blacks as a group cannot or will not get their act together. If they would spend as much time and effort working to improve their lot as they do trying get special treatment and benefits for blacks at the expense of everyone else, this concept of racial bias would be a thing of the past. The truth is, a large percentage of these "underprivileged" people don't have the gumption, ambition or desire to improve their life. They often go so far as to destroy their own homes and neighborhoods. And they critcize those of color that do work hard in an effort climb the ladder of success. It is as though they don't want anyone of color to succeed because it will prove that it can be done. They call them "Oreos" or Uncle Toms". In spite of that, many blacks have done very well due to hard work and purposeful effort and in the end they get the respect and position in society that they seek.

It is true that there is a bias against blacks in our society, but this is not brought upon them because of their skin color. It is because crime, laziness, low morals and overuse of our society's safety nets such as welfare, food stamps and medicaid are all disproportionately present in the black population. I, for one, am fed up with reverse descrimation, set asides, and high taxes that pay the way for those too lazy to provide for themselves.

26. What do the black leader have to hide, just the truth. It appears that if you don't agree with them then you are a bigot. We must have free and open discussion, not just someone's bias.

Wayne at 5:22PM on Mar 14th 2007

27. Gerald is spot on. That's all that needs to be said.

Good job Gerald for having a sack and not being a mindless follower.

28. FOX News is absolutely the BEST News. Where is it on AOL ??? Can't give much credit to AOL when there's no FOX News represented !

29. Bob burblizes - "It is as though they don't want anyone of color to succeed because it will prove that it can be done. They call them "Oreos" or Uncle Toms"."

Funny thing Bob. I'm black, have been reasonably successful... and didn't grow up poor.

And the only thing I get from poor black folks is...

"How do I do that?"

Maybe the reason so many of your black conservative friends get called those names...

Has something to do with them.

30. Wayne internalizes - "What do the black leader have to hide, just the truth. It appears that if you don't agree with them then you are a bigot. "

Let's see - so far today we have one poster quoting David Duke, another telling us how slaves were happy, and Bob here trying to tell us po' black folks that all we need to be sucessful is to accept Massa...

And you wonder why discussions on race go nowhere in this country?

First - 80% of the black folks in this country are not poor. Indeed, they are mostly working middle class, and according to statistics released by the Dimwit's administration over 57% own their own homes. So when an unmitigated racist ass like Bob comes in with "what black folks should do" based on the issues of the poorest segment of the community ...

It really reaches the absurd.
