Reverse discrimination

[Bubba]

I found this on the internet, and I personally can't find anything to prove or disprove it's authenticity.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

If it isn't true, it would be a shame. Because those words seem well thought out, and in my opinion, ring very true.

So day after day we live our lifes scared to say whats bothering us because we're not wanting that brand of RACIST so, how do we refer to this group. The terminology changes just like it has years before. What was acceptible to say10-15 years ago. would not fly today. The acceptible title today is "hispanic" this may be unacceptible in the future like an ethnic slur. Look back and see the pattern. The new term will be so medicated like "central americans" and Maybe someday we'll be racist if their title is anything but "united states americans" I hope to be dead and burried at this time

I guess the way I see it, We don't have a Theodore Roosevelt type of person out there to run against the Big Money. and I believe that holds true clear down to one's City's Elected Officals.

Welcome to DB Bronco-Fan. Hope you enjoy yourself here.

Society would be much better off if Government had much less money at its disposal. The money withheld from the money withholders wouldn't disappear. It would RE-appear as private investment in business and also it would RE-appear as benevolent contributions without feeding bureaucrats or unqualified equalizers (aka affirmative action).

Attending Rupert's Wake

Not Much Sympathy
November 13, 2005

The hemorrhaging circulation of the paleomedia gratifies me better than bubblegum. Lord I love it. The tube worms of the network suites have discovered that lo! Fewer of the citizenry sit nightly before the flickering propaganda modem. The readership of newspapers yet falls. This dereliction they ascribe to declining literacy, the lack of public spirit, and indeed anything but their own uselessness.

Such thunder-buckets as Rupert Murdoch, noting that people go to the web, frantically buy web properties. It is not the abysmal content of the media, see, that turns people away. We just want our sewage through a different pipe. If the media put the same twaddle on the web, thinks Rupert, people sick of it elsewhere will love it.

Any day now. I suggest that the reasons for the loss are otherwise and several. Permit me a few thoughts:

What are the topics of most fascination in the United States? Of most importance? Certainly among them are race, sex in the social sense, crime, and immigration. Now, let’s see whether we can name four subjects about which the media speak with calculated mendacity obvious to everyone one. How about…oh, say…race, sex in the social sense, crime, and immigration?

Race, for example:

A story on the site of ABC News led with the lurid headline, “Young Singers Spread Racist Hate.” Now, if young singers have ABC’s bowels in a racial uproar, you can be sure that the singers are white. We all understand that hate is what white people do. Thus it was. A pair of very young girls, calling themselves Prussian Blue, say that they want to maintain the purity of the white race. (Why this is precisely hate eludes me.) Various authorities are quoted as to the effect that they are shocked, appalled, disappointed, and so on.

At about the same time, I found the account of a black man, one Dr. (of what, I wonder?) Kamau Kambon , who while speaking to a panel at the law school of Howard University (a black school in Washington, DC) said that the white race should be exterminated. Emphasis added, and I wrote that

This is not my interpretation but rather his explicit, repeated statement. I quote: white people "have retina scans, they have what they call racial profiling, DNA banks and they're monitoring our people to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one idea. And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate white people because that, in my estimation, is the only conclusion I have come to. [sic] We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet to solve this problem." He wants to kill me, my daughters, and my friends.

This produced from the media…near silence. From Howard University…silence. From professional blacks…silence.

Now, this column is not about race relations, but about the dishonesty of the media. I do not think that blacks want to exterminate whites, though Mr. Kambon needs to take his medication. Nor do I want to exterminate anyone, with the possible exception of lawyers and people in public relations. Nor do I know any whites who want to exterminate blacks. (You can find some very strange websites that might, though.)

We all know the pattern. When Larry Summers, president of what once was Harvard University, mentioned that men are better than women at mathematics, a fact studied to death and well settled, it was national news practically forever. Hissyfits were everywhere thrown. Summers duly whimpered and licked all feet within range. Ah, but when Mr. Kambon wants to kill most of the United States, why…ah, heh…cough.

Also about the same time, the coach of the football team of the Air Force Academy suggested that his team was faring badly because it didn’t have enough black players. “It just seems to be that way, that Afro-American kids can run very, very well. That doesn't mean that Caucasian kids and other descents can't run, but it's very obvious to me they run extremely well," DeBerry said, not too articulately, in remarks first broadcast Tuesday night by KWGN-TV in Denver.”

Conventional outrage gurgled tiredly forth as from a broken drain. Like Summers, DeBerry ended up squirming on the rug in apology. (Why? Whatever happened to manhood?) It is of course a fact that blacks run fast. Are they overwhelming in the running slots of the NFL because they are slow, do you think? Then why does the league not recruit me at, say, six million green ones a year? I am, I promise, far slower than any running back in football.

To point out that blacks are good athletes is virtually a firing offense, but to urge killing millions is fine. Welcome to the media.

What has this to do with the circulation of newspapers? Lots. For one thing, whites who are to be killed may weary of hostility from the media, and they are most of the readership. Except I’m not any longer. For another, coverage is boring because predetermined, irritating because antagonistic and mendacious, and useless because it contributes nothing to solving, or even to understanding, the racial problems of the country. Or any problems of the country.

In fact the media aggravate racial relations. When whites think of blacks, the first two to leap to mind are (drum roll) Al and Jesse, no? Aside from driving away the audience, they give a horrible impression of blacks. But Al and Jesse are not the black race. They are just Al and Jesse. On the web you find a spectrum of black thought, much of it wildly different from that peddled by television. Try Will Powell,* or LaShawn Barber.**

But something else is at work here. For decades, the major media have had near-control of the news and the culture. If an event didn’t appear on the networks, it hadn’t happened. The paleos apparently do not realize that they have lost that control—that when they refuse to give play to a call for extermination, their refusal no longer kills the story. Kambon’s call for my children’s liquidation surged across the nation, copy after copy, including video clips.

Wake up, Rupert, baby. For the intelligent, the media are no longer primary. Few any longer regard them as other than advocacy lashups for certain groups. Why bother?

There is, I think, nothing the paleos can do to change this. They are irremediably ideologized, insular, and trapped by demographics into a bland editorial mass-market philosophy of one-size-fits-all. The web, far more agile, can provide focused sites about anything at any intellectual level.

The looming unknown in all of this is the circulation of the net, its influence, its clout. How important, really, is the web? How do you measure the ambit of ten thousand blogs, of thousands of personal websites like Fred On Everything, of outfits with no physical existence like LewRockwell.com and Antiwar.com? The answer I think is that you don’t, really. The ghostly statistics of forwards, caches, and reposts make it difficult to determine one’s own circulation, much less that of countless other sites. This makes it hard for CBS to estimate, and easy for it to underestimate, the tidal wave it faces. I’m glad that it is their problem and not mine.

Its easy for one to be consumed with a negative opinion about an issue until the hate begins to change your character. I think its important for all of us not to let that happen. I guess the bottom line here is, we're all human and regaurdless of our beliefs, we'll have to live together and find some way to make it work. I'll still hold a door open at a store or business so the person walking behind me can enter, no matter what their nationality. If I see a car stalled at an intersection, its just instinct for me to want to help, no matter what their nationality. I know most of you would to. Its who we are.....Im proud to be an American

[Bronco-Fan]

I agree with Mud: I do not hate anyone, nor do I want anyone to hate any one, for any reason. What we should hate is the action or deed to which the person(s) have offended us by. Yes we should show respect to all, what I hate is what has happen to our Elected Official, to me they have sold out to big money and they don't deliver Their election promises. Surely there is some people out there in this Great Land of ours, that still have moral fiber. We have to educate our young people both at home and at school, that it is time for a change and we need to get back to what our country was founded on. The give aways have to stop. The loop holes have to be plugged. Most of all we the people have to hold our Elected Officals responsible. Hope you all have a great day. God Bless all of you.

Unfortunately, I don't think that we will ever elect a responsible politician until the campaign spending sees some MAJOR limitations. For all I know, Bronco-Fan, you are the best person to be our next President. But I will never know that, unless you are sitting on millions of dollars that you are willing to spend on your campaign. Elections today aren't about electing the best person for the job, it's about who can spend the money needed to market themselves in a way that will get them elected.

That kind of insanity deserves silence.

This is not what I experienced of DC when I first got here 7 years ago. I do think the town is changing, though.

Its easy for one to be consumed with a negative opinion about an issue until the hate begins to change your character.

Sometimes this gets very difficult.

I think the point Fred Reed was trying to make was minorities can say really atrocious things that are clearly bigoted and are given a pass. But let some white guy say something that can somehow be misconstrued into a hint of racism and all Hell breaks loose.
