I agree with some of the things you have to say but as a native american, irish, german, and scottish women I have something about one thing you have said. The thing about blacks getting compensation for being slaves, I can answer that if native americans haven't got their compensation yet how can you expect african americans to get their due. When it comes to native americans its not all about the land, we were going through hell in the 1960s we just got our right to vote during that time. white people were going around calling us grease heads, savages, and other crap. Till this day they still have stupid myths about us eating our children. we aren't even good enough by white and black standards to even be brought up in any of the racial issues discussions/ debates till this day. Don't get me wrong I know african americans have been put through about just as much crap as we have but how come we have never been interviewed on news channels  when they talk about racism. how come were not even listed as minorities? You barely ever see any native american children on t.v. When we are shown were always drunk. Why is there more info out there taught in schools about the african americans and the whites then us. Let me tell you there is alot of crap in the history books. why do people still openly regard us as savage and stupid. People do some research the thanksgiving lie that they feed the children in elementary school never happened that way. The cherokee people were slaughtered by those wannabe christians. ok now im off my soap box and I hope I didn't squash too many toes, people just have to know the truth. We want acknowledgement.

I offer the following question: can one speak of race without resorting to racialist and racist concepts?  In other words is there an objective basis for discrete classification of people based on skin color, heritage, genes, language, religious belief or power that doesn't lead back to one buying into "racialism?"  In other words, if I get a tan, does that change my "race?"  If I can trace my lineage back to Africa or China, what "race" does that make me?  If I learn languages from Europe, Polynesia, China or Africa, does that change my "race?"  If I sit on the board of directors for a transnational corporation and then become homeless, does that change my "race?"  And if there isn't an objective basis for it, why does it perpetuate a myth?

As another person of mixed backgrounds--Haw'n, Portuguese, Spanish, Filipino, & more--and one who "passes" in many places, I have always been sensitive to the treatment of people based on race.  People on the mainland U.S. think of race in only black or white terms.  I have been discriminated against based on the slant of my eyes, my  "off" color, my Spanish-look and/or unidentifiable race, my somewhat white appearance but non-white thought process, and that unmentionable difference that people can't figure out.  The dominant white Christian (faux-Christian) thought has and continues to judge, deconstruct, and destroy the cultural practices that have been passed down to me and others.  I always wonder why these people want to deny who I am and where I come from.  Comments like, "You look just like me," from a white Irish woman are insulting because the person refuses to acknowledge who I am and my differences.  The acceptance of race in the U.S.A. is a sham and based on appearances of P.C.  Behind the doors, we  all judge each other, but those of us who are "not quite" white nor male are always compared to the standards of the dominant.  Think of it.  Why are the current political discussions:  Are we ready for a black President?  Are we ready for a woman President?  Discussions so similar to the 19th c. struggle over who to give rights to first--Black men or women?  Black men won.  Things change but never change.  As long as you "act" white, you're okay?  (rambling here)

i believe that in our school, we dont have enough pie we need more. and because there is way too much sexism in this class i just cant stand it any more.

i agree with micheal. there is a lot of discrimination and it is just not helping our country advance in the world today if we could get rid of it for good, which is impossible we would be fine.

I believe that racism is something that is forced upon every American through the media. I don't believe that anyone is born a racist person but that, in fact, the environment you grow up in determines and shapes how you'll feel about the topic. If you grow up in an all white community, listening to your parents and your peers put down black people then you, unintentionally, will start believing that it is okay to put down black people; and vice versa if you grew up in an all black community and learned that white people were the oppressors. Either way, your surroundings have a big influence on how you think.

As for the question of what America owes to blacks, I don't know the answer to that. Being that I am a white American female I feel that the best way for me to contribute to the issue is to focus my energy on educating myself on black history. Until I come to a comfortable and respectful understanding of the African American culture I don't feel that I could make a considerable contribution to the problem.  

People of color can definitely be racist. Like I said before I believe racism comes from the culture that we live in and the people we surround ourselves with. Racism isn’t something genetically designed for white people. If a black woman grew up as a slave, with a horrible white man for her master, she will most likely believe that all white men are horrible dictators and she will more then likely hate all white men she comes into contact with. It’s just like a first impression. If you go and meet someone for the first time and their hair is a mess, they have holes in their clothes and their teeth haven’t been brushed for days, every time someone speaks about that person your mind will revert back to the image of an unkempt person.

Racism is a growing problem in America and unless people start paying attention to it, it will never fully be resolved.

I totally hear you W. Witch...

I am American with Mexican, Italian, Spanish (and through this a hint of Arab), English, German, Irish, Scottish, and Portuguese roots.

People's heads explode when I tell them my background (proud of it all, by the way!)  People, especially here in America, want to box me into this package but it just DOES not work for multiracial people like me, let alone bicultural people.

If I don't spend a lot of time in the sun, I can be relatively white (still olive toned) so I too "pass" here and there, but I've actually had people tell me "Oh, I thought you were Native American or Mexican or something, but I didn't want to say anything."  

I've had white people say things along the lines like, "who taught you English?" when it's my first language.

Chilean immigrants in Spain tried telling me I wasn't American, I was Mexican because of my hair and last name, while they never questioned the nationality of another American student who's  a red-headed, freckled girl with an Irish last name.

I've also had Latinos not speak to me or give me attitude because I'm too pale or have an American accent when I speak Spanish...the parents of an ex-boyfriend from high school discourage him from dating me.

My cousin who is mostly Italian, German, and English is the same age as my brother and they once were in a high school lunch together.  When my cousin asked her friends if they knew who her cousin was someone immediately said, "it's definitely not that Mexican kid over there."

Then there's the whole census deal.  Supposedly I'm not Hispanic enough to be "hispanic/latino"  for the census because only one of my parents is 50% latino (however they expect to measure that or qualify that), so my other option is "white/caucasian (non-hispanic)," so the non-hispanic eliminates that from being my choice because I am part hispanic/latino.  Caught in the middle or a duality that does not account for many...

Sometimes it's subtle or not as frequent for someone like us who occasionally "pass" for a "norm"...but being caught between "black and white" or between cultures is something that is waaaaay overlooked, but sometimes I feel like it's because the extent of "racial mixes" today is really more recent than you think it would be...

I agree that the culture we live in has a greater effect on our minds and thoughts than we would like to think. In many ways, most people like to think that our country has solved its major problems with racism and descrimination.  It's not very socially acceptable to speak about the oppressed races because leagally we are all equals and share the same rights. And who want to cause more conflict that there already is? Then again, if even young children of 3 and 4 can tell you that the white doll is the "good" doll and the black doll is the "bad" doll then there is obviously a problem.  One of the first things our culture needs to be albe to do to want to solve this problem of race inequality is be able to uncomfortable and talk about it nonetheless.

One of the reasons i think racism has progressed so slowly in our culture is the concept of exposure and influence. Our counrty is still very racially divided.  A lot of that has to do with money and education. The more you know, the more you will get paid to work. If you live in a nice area the schools are good and you get a good education and you will eventually get paid more. so you and your chidlren can live in a nice neighbor. But, what if you live in a horrible neighborhood? bad schools, bad educaation, you would have to work a menial job that pays little. the children are most likely to live a life that mimics  their parents. this brings us back to the end of slavery, the slave owners lived in the nice houses, the emacipated slaves lived in the shacks. as time went on, not these economic/housing situations persisted and allowed the races to be divided until present day. It is only in cities that there is a large mix of races, yet they are still dived in the cities as well.

Speaking about exposure, one way to encourage the integration of the differnet races would be to portray all the races on TV and in movies as average human beings.  Often on TV shows of a white families there will be one black friend who's there to represent the whole race. For some people, this is there only experince of black people. The funny thing about the media is that the intention of the wirters of the TV are to make the show entertaining, but very often that puts certain races on top.

Let's get uncomfortable with talk about the issue we like to hide.

I think that racial prejudice is something that is culturally acquired, not innate.  The environment that surrounds you shapes your opinions and beliefs.  Up until college, I attended private, Catholic schools where the student population was predominantly caucasion.  I was one of approxiamately one of six minority students of 130 students.  Therefore, I wasn't exposed to many racial issues.  It was simply because I grew up in an environment where there was a lack of cultural diversity, not because I was born with or without it.  Nearly everyone was of the same race and the topic of racism was never brought up.

People of all races can be racist.  You definitely don't have to be a particular race in order to be racist.  As stated earlier, I don't think that racism is something one is born with.  Rather, it is something that develops from the environment we are surrounded in.  The people we surround ourselves with will affect the way we view certain topics.  If we surround ourselves with individuals who are racist, their racist views may pass on to us and vice versa.

I don't think the civil rights movement neither succeeded or failed in its attempt to overcome racism.  It improved the issue of discrimination at the time, but it is still clearly prevalent in today's society.  Discrimination is still affecting people of all races and ages, and it will continue to be an issue until people accept the challenge to resolve it.

I agree that the issue of racism will never be resolved. Because I'm a person of mixed race who often hears the word "Token" used so much that I've made shirts that says "We're tokens-be proud of it!!" I agree that your surroundings influence the way you think,becuase I live in predominantly white neighborhood and when me and my white fiance come home there's still neighbors who are throwing beer bottles at us screaming "this is a white only neighborhood- not for tokens" or those who like tokens

       Racim is "MULTICULTURAL" I dissagree with the thought and information about racism involving only African Americans. I am Mexican- American and we have to deal with racism everyday. Racism is around "MINORITIES" in general. Just the simple fact that there is only about 100 of each group of us the majority look down on us.

      I agree with fact that so many people fought to change racism... what has changed?? Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr... Julio Cesar Chavez, ect.. They all fought for believing in equal rights. The fact that slavery is illegal? Yet you still see minorities doing the dirty work, the little jobs. EX: Mexican farmworkers, work in the fields and harvest our agriculture. Yet society doent know what to do in order to get rid of them. Society is all about judgement. Most places wont hire a minority just because of where they come from or what their backround looks like. If america is supposed to be the land of the free and opportunities... "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,Liberty and the persuit of Happiness.--" Decleration of Independance.

          What will become of the future generations? If society keeps putting the minorities down with the media and all the networks. Even the movies we watch are racist. I mean its to stereotypical that there is always either a Mexian or an African doing all the vandalism. What is that teaching our future generations and only  we as minorities create our own steroptypical ways. Instead of proving society wrong and work harder to become successful.

I THINK RACISM IS VERY WRONG AND WE ALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED EQUAL BECAUSE WE HAVE EVERYTHING THE SAME WHATS SO DIFFERENT BETWEEN US BESIDES OUR SKIN AND IF YOU ARE RACIST YOU SHOUDL STILL RESPECT EVERYONE

If we were all Muslims we would have never heard about the word racism as well as back vs white  

I think you Americans are up yourself and your nationality.

I'm Atlantic, ATLANTIC!

Well I don't think its right for a white , mexian ,or even a black person to say the ''n'' word because racism is gone and a man had to die to get people to understand about racism and it needs to stop 'cause its not gone its still here ,but in a sneaky way!!!! Thats my Opinion!!!!!!!!!!=}

I'll take a shot at attempting answers to the questions listed at the top of this blog.

1. Is racial prejudice innate, or is it culturally acquired?

We are probably all likely to be ethnocentric about our own group, however we define it, by religion, physical features (race?), family, clan, nationality, or language.  Likely it is natural to identify with those like us and not trust those different from us but how this is defined is also likely culturally defined. (When I lived in a Spanish speaking country when I saw a "Black" person I defined him or her as one of "us" because there was a good chance they spoke English and I could understand them, whereas lighter skinned persons likely spoke only Spanish and mine was minimal.  The same was true when I lived in Japan, because a "Black" person you might see on the train would likely be American and one of "us", whereas all those Japanese, while nice persons, were not Americans.)

Is it peculiar to the west, or is it found in all societies?

Prejudice is likely found in all societies, but racism likely varies from society to society.  In Asia Koreans and Japanese can often be very prejudiced against foreigners of any kind and look down sometimes on marriages to non-Koreans or Japanese.  A person I met in the Eastern Caribbean from Canada (French Canadian white) who had a West Indian (Black) girlfriend and moved to St. Vincent had to break it off with her because of the prejudice in the island against such a pairing.  To have a local girlfriend he had to pretend he was hiring a maid.  Of course we know of the Shia vs. Sunni rift in the Middle East, though that has nothing to do with race it has a similar effect to our style of racism, just that the differences are defined based on religion and not physical features.  Each society probably has its own prejudices against outsiders or "others" but it is not as commonly defined in the terms we use, such as "race".

What is the legacy of slavery, and what does America owe blacks as compensation for it?

The legacy of poverty for the descendants of many ex-slaves is one issue.  Generations of lack of opportunity, education, access to land and capital, have put some descendants of slaves squarely into the lower socio-economic class, but not all.  This is true of ex-slave caste descendants in other societies.  Another unfortunate legacy of slavery is our obsession with the concept of race as a distinguishing feature separating large numbers of Americans into artificial categories labeled Black or White.  In fact we are just one big gene pool, some ancestors coming from Europe, some from Africa, and some were ready here when the Old World and the New World began to come into contact after Columbus.  These peoples have blended through intermarriage and mating, but because of the need for identifiable slave labor in the British dominated colonies in the West Indies and North America laws were pasted defining the status of children of mixed ancestry, making the child of an African slave with a white or Indian father a slave and therefore "Black".  This became so entrenched in the minds of Americans that even a person like Plessy, a Creole Octoroon, with only 1/8 African ancestry from New Orleans, was treated as a "Black" when he tried to sit in a "white only" first class railroad car back in the late 1800's.  This lead to the famous "separate but equal" ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson.  We still persist with these artificial "caste" designations, even though it has been estimated that about 20% of the Afro-American gene pool has its origins from European immigrants, and a fairly large percentage of "white" or Euro-Americans have some African ancestors, like the "white" descendants of Thomas Jefferson and his half-European, half-African maid, Sally Hemmings.  Faulkner has some interesting stories about the confusion over what caste relations people have based on our unique way of defining race.  Some of his stories of Northern Mississippi have mixed Indian, White and Black persons having different relationships depending on the situation.  A "Black/Indian" might be a chief to a "White/Indian" in some circumstances and a low caste Black person in others.  A half-sister might be a slave to her white mistress/sister.  A mixed race man might be "black" in one community where people know his family and "white" in another where they do not.  Faulkner is full of these interesting ambiguities in his writing and sees  the people of Northern Mississippi as a single people, a single gene pool, only separated by artificial caste rules based on a slave history.  In some countries in Latin America they don't think in terms of black and white.  For example in Panama the population is very ethnically mixed and people are just thought of as lighter or darker Panamanians, unless they don't speak Spanish as a first language.  They don't have the either/or mentality of Americans in terms of defining racial characteristics.  People are all just blended together, Indian, Asian, African, or European.  We are too, we just don't see it that way.  A Puerto Rican student of mine brought this issue home when she explained the dilema her classmates had in North Carolina, where most of the students saw themselves as Black or White.  She was asked by both groups when she enrolled in school, "Are you one of us or one of them?"  She said she was just Puerto Rican and didn't think of herself as either Black or White.   Try visiting Latin America for a while and the way you view ethnicity changes. Their slave legacy was much different because the offspring of mixed matings were not considered "black slaves" but something in-between and there were also large populations of escaped slaves who intermixed with the indigenous peoples.  As for what Ameicans owe "Blacks" due to the legacy of slavery it is probably too late to fairly arrive at some compensation.  That could have been done after the Civil War with 40 acres and a mule, but never happened.  Today affirmative action can help give descendants of slavery a boost, but all too often this can be unfair in other ways.  Perhaps we need affirmative action based on class and not on artificial "racial" or caste categories, though it seems fair to try to have diversity in jobs, schools and other settings, where practical.

Did the civil rights movement succeed or fail in its attempts to overcome the legacy of segregation and racism?

It has obviously succeded in many ways.  No more White or Colored only signs in the south, integrated housing in many regions and laws preventing discrimination in employment and housing.  Tremendous advances in the roles open to Afro-Americans in sports, politics, business, entertainment, the military, and a major shift in attitudes about racism.  That being said there remains difficulties, especially in the class differences that remain between some Afro-Americans and other Americans.  We often do not have social integretion in our everyday lives.  We also still think in terms of Black and White but we have come a long way in forty years.

Is there such a thing as rational discrimination?

This is hard to define.  If you mean you can discriminate between a good meal and a poor one, or a qualified employee and one not so qualified, based on some standard criteria, sure.  As far as "race," probably not.

Can persons of color be racist?

Of course.

Is racism really the most serious problem facing black Americans today, or is it a declining phenomenon?

I would guess it is a declining problem, especially compared to the extreme racism of the past.  The problems of class, economic problems, though related to our racial history, may today be the biggest social problems for some Afro-Americans to deal with.  

If racism had a beginning, shouldn’t it have an end?

Sure, we can hope so.  With the changes in attitude that have occurred over the last couple of generations and the influx of new and different types of immigrants from other parts of the globe that confuse our Black/White definitions of who we are, along with the increase in marriage between categories of people once forbidden to intermarry it is likely that racism as we know it will change and disappear to a certain extent, but something else may take its place that will separate people into categories.  Maybe Straight and Gay, Red or Blue State, Evangelical or not, Muslim or Christian, Alien or Native.  We can always find demagogues with an agenda to make up some categories of people we can feel different from or superior to or who we can exploit, who can claim special status or who we can blame for our problems.  Don't worry about that.  

Possible answers to "Is racial prejudice innate, or is it culturally acquired? Is it peculiar to the west, or is it found in all societies?"

It seems humans may be genetically predisposed to be groupist, to discriminate by who's in or out of "our" group - witness high school cliques etc. - because groupism seems to be the best survival strategy, according to recent computer modelling.

Given that people's main sense is that of sight, grouping by "looks like me" could be a major factor behind racism. But "my genes made me do it" is no excuse for thinking human beings with free will; knowing that we may be inclined by instinct to group by ethnicity is just one step towards combating racism and racial prejudice.

More on the possible biological inclination for people to be groupist (and therefore racist) at  http://www.consumingexperience.com/2007/05/prejudice-discrimination-is-racism.html

When you take a close look at me you see my skin which is white.If you have nothing to hide you will look me in he eyes and see that Im Native American (Shawnee) When you speak to me,you will see that Im educated.When you see my family,you will see that Im no diffrent from you.When you imagine my future,you will see sucess.When you speak to me,you will see that Im content.

Unfortunatly racism is nessacry. in the past we have for for years to create an identity for ourselves, whether you are fom america or england or some other country. but it is hard for our mind to concieve someone else other by labeling them.  i am not a racist, beacause i believe the real definition of racism is disrepecting those who are different than you are. when we percieve others we immeditaly look for a trademark, something that stands out on that person's body. unfortunatly, most people resort to the most obvious, the color of our skin. and thats alright, its ok to be obsevant. but to take that to the extreme, and discriminate others beacasue of that is wrong. i am an african-american woman, and i have studied the sociological side of racism, and i believe we are cursed as humanity to go about reconigzing each other, not by scent, or by touch, but by the color of our skin.

is racism found in all societies ?

As another product and holder of a mixed marriage, I can tell you that racism exists, and is actually not confined to a group. It's all a relative concept. For example, there are Aryan Nations and Stromforts in Spain, or Ireland, or Greece. We have white supremacists in Romania, Russia or Mexico and they're very aggressive to the minorities of their own countries(which may coincide or not with the minorities of other countries). They attack, for example, Roma people, transexuals or immigrants. However, which is paradoxical, they never dare travel to other countries because they know that they will suffer the same fate as the people they attack. For example, many Spanish people or Irish flaunt their "white pride" and their swastikas. However, if they go to USA they are very careful who they socialise with(if they go at all), because, for certain groups, the same ones who say "brother" or whatever, they are "filthy potato-eaters" or "illegal aliens", who are stealing their jobs.

The White Media: (WHY):( HARD QUESTION)

Discussions of white media stereotyping have tended to focus on how traditionally marginalized groups such as women, gay men, lesbians, and ethnic minorities have been negatively affected by stereotypical portrayals. But increasingly, scholars are considering how stereotyping privileges certain groups. There is a collective response to questions that concerns all Americans by the white media.White privilege is reinforced and supported by the white media. It seem that the white media won't asked the hard question . Like : Mr President will you bring the troops home if congess doesn't approve your war buget? Why is it that President Bush who started a war for nothing  calls other people evil? Why President Bush don't want Iran to have nucular power but the US can who is proven to be stupid? Osama bin Laden and Bush family Business connections when did it began and end?  How did President Raegan run the country in the last two year of officer? When everybody knows that he suffer from Alzheimer and still stay President. Why didn't the white media report after the OJ civil trial. One of the juror in a interveiw stated." That she prayed to be a juror to help Nicole and the Goldmen. No one ever reported that. Was it because OJ would have gotten a mistrail?  Mother Teresa( died on September 5, 1997.) did so many good nature things while alive.Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards. Yet  Princess Diana ( Died on August 31,1997) who die the five days after Mother Teresa is remember and talk about like she was a sanit. There hardly a mention of Mother Teresa WHY & HOW? Where is the Mother Teresa movie? What did   Princess Diana do for Americans? Black on Black crime What about white on white crime ? Or Jew on Jew Hispanic on Hispanic. Check the Statistics! Is American military  going into Darfur? Or is it ture that white America could give a damm about Darfur? Given the fact that they don't care about blacks in this country? Why would cops shoot a unarm black child or adult? Or Why is nothing done to the officers when he or she does? How is Rudy Giuliani running for President when he didn't pervent 9/11his claim to fame is that he brought down crime in NY. It is ture that he hire the man that brought down crime then Rudy Giuliani fire him because he was getting more attention then Rudy Giuliani. Then hire a crook! Matter -of-fact Rudy Giuliani went to a wedding the day after 9/11. His own family can't stand him. Why is it that the white media NOT going after his kids or ex-wife asking them why they hate their father so much? Why don't the media asked? "Where are the white leader in this country?  Why don't we have a health care program ? And get a anwser! Or How come politition critizin Hilary Clinton when she was only First Lady when she gave it a try. Or during the Reagan years. How could America pay $400 for a $10 hammer? And no one in jail. Or who purchase the damm hammers? Why haven we open up to Cuba? Where is Jimmy Hoffa?  I watch the news with Katie Couric on December 7, 2007 she reported on a CIA cover up. They destoyed evidence of toture. This is yet another form of the white media buddy systems. Katie nor the other news reporter asked the question. Why aren't they FRIE! Why is America in Iraq? Who told President Bush there where Weapon of Mass Destruction. Why is nobody in jail for the miscalulation that lead to the death of thousands? Why wasn't it more interveiws done with Frank Wills? Why isn't he a Hero? On June 17, 1972 Frank Wills a black security guard at the Watergate Complex, noticed tape covering the locks on several doors in the complex. He called the police and within minutes, five men were arrested inside the Democratic National Committee's office. Frank Wills should be look at as a HERO! Why is it that when white people kill mass number of people they become famous? Robert A. Hawkin 19yr. had recently split with his girlfriend and been fried from his job. He killed eight Christmas shoppers before shooting himself. He had a criminal record and had been kick out of his home. He left a note behind stating he was about to be FAMOUS. The white media has a responsiblity more so then any other media outlet. Because they are seen more and the majority of America believe what they hear and see when white people say it.( Both Black & White) Why is the violence in hockey tolerated? Why isn't Vince McMahon investigated for letting people die on drugs while wrestling for his company? When did it get so easy to murder black people and nobody care? Why don't white people give a damm when a black unarm child is murder? But will  tear up whenthey see a beach whale.  Why are white producers and directors ever question about their films and the direction of their films. Like Mel Gibson who put out The Passion of Christ and had a white man play Christ. In the Bible it states Christ with hair of wool and skin of brons the color of a penny. ( sounds black to me) Why wasn't he challegne on that? The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and his comments about black in the movie and glorifying crime and criminals. I truly believe that The Godfather is responsible for such haines and evil crimes in this country. Criminals wanted to one up the Godfather. The white director has NEVER been brought to the carpet. Nataul Born Kill another kill for no reason film by white director this time Oliver Stone.Why isn't he in prison or at lease a mental hospital. That movie was scentless! Jackass has cause so many injury to adult and young teen. Why white people have NEVER been question WHY? Where is your white people's Al Sharpton to answer WHY? Why isn't it reported that white women make up 65% of all abortion? Why is Dr. Martin Luther King refer to as a black leader and NOT a American Leader?  I also remember a reality show called The Osborne the children as young as 12yr. use profanity in front of the camera and there parents. No media never reported on the disrepect given the age and the fact that they are in the present of their parent and the world. Joey Buttafuoco a convicted child predators is embrace by white director of film. WHY? He had a affair with a then underage Amy Fisher, who subsequently shot Joey's wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, in the face. Again NO WHITE LEADERSHIP. Just think if the Osborne was a black family and Joey Buttafuoco a black man. The white media wouldn't destroyed those people. Where is the white media when a new video game for children is invented and it about killing black people and cops. And is invented by a white person. Also why is every story done on the Iraq war? Where are the black military personel? You would think that the war is only faught by white people.  The Whites Media are NEVER made to answer!Why isn't Pat Robinson seen as a NUT? Why is it that people sentence for crack cocain are given mandatory sentence? But powder cocain there is NO mandatory sentening.Why is it that whites are charge with  unauthorize use of a vechile and Black are charge with grand thief auto which carry a mandatory sentence. Why is it that the white media don't asked hard question? Why the white media don't tell the world the total number of death in Iraq not just Americans deaths. Why President Bush is more concern with country other then America. When gangs in this country almost match the deaths in Iraq. Judge Judy doesn't take written statements in her courtroom but other Judges do WHY? Where the hell is Jimmy Hoffa? Why would Mitt Romney be apart of a religion that think black people are curse? Then want to be President of all America. And why is he still running for President. And why is he not made to explain his position and believe of black Americans. Given that fact that black men and women are dying in war for his life.Mitt Romney believes  black-skinned people are of inferior origin - mormonism teaches that the spirit beings that did not fight valiantly for God come to earth as blacks, while those who fought valiantly come to earth as whites. Until very recently blacks could not become priests in the mormon system of worship for reasons related to this and other demeaning doctrines. WHY?WHY? Why don't the white media the next time a white woman say they just don't trust or hate Hilary Clinton . MAKE THEM TELL YOU WHY?Why wasn't Jackie Robinson given recognition for his RBI's during time in the Black American Base ball?  The Whites media needs to stop saying that blacks don't talk about crime to law enforcement. Knowing that is a LIE! Given the fact that 87% of the prison population is Black and Hispanic SOMEBODY BLACK IS TALKING! Where Jimmy Hoffa? Who kill JFK? Who brought those hammer for $400 that COST $10 while President Reagan WAS IN OFFICER? Why do white cop always say someone black was backing up with there car so they had to shoot over 50 bullet? Remember the black men on there way to a basketball game driving on Rt.29 in New Jersey. The cop stated that the driver try to hit them with the car . So they shot the three sleeping ocupants.   Where is the white leadership when it come to the Porn Film Industry. 95% white female. Why is it ok to say *** ass and hell? It seem white America has approve these profandy for primetime TV. I was looking at The Veiw and they couldn't say penis. Why didn't the white media asked Rudy Giuliani after cops shots a unarm man 41 times and murder him. Why he did nothing to the officers. I always wanted to asked white people if the situation was reverse. What would they do fight black racism? How come Jackie Robinson pass record in  black baseball not get recognition when he came to white baseball?( Both played in AMERICA) Why is it that white women that go missing. Their story are on the news time after time. Reporters interview everybody from the husband pass boyfriends neigbor school teacher co-worker family members the pope every  black person within a million mile. Black people that are missing.... JUST MISSING! I watch New Detective, Most Evil, 48 hour most feature story of WHITE PEOPLE. Where is the white Al Shapton to explain WHITE PEOPLE? Question after question and NO answer. The white media has disapointed everybody. WHY? Why isn't the WHITE MAFIA refer to as a gang? Whats the diffrents between organize Crime and unorganize crime?Why is The Sopranos look at as just family entertanment? And not view as  glorifying  a crime family.Why did  Bruce Cutler get a show playing a Judge? Where is black people 40 Acres and a Mule?  Many people believe that David Koresh (or the Branch Davidians) were responsible for the deaths of the 74 men, women and children who died in the inferno at Waco on April 19, 1993. This is the story that the FBI put out. It is a lie. The guns they had were legal. The local sheriff investigated and found no basis for complaints against them. That didn't stop white rule. These were law-abiding American citizens, even if they thought differently to most other folks. They trusted the U.S. Constitution to ensure their political rights, but they were murdered by agents acting under the authority of the U.S. government. Waco occurred under the presidency of Bill Clinton, with Janet Reno and Wesley Clark in supporting roles. Already back in 1993 the US government demonstrated its contempt for the American people by carrying out a massacre in order to "demonstrate" (on prime time TV) its supposed "authority" (a tactic favored by fascist governments). Following the usurpation of the presidency in 2000 by the psychopath George W. Bush, and the subsequent installation of the insane John Ashcroft as Bush's Himmler, things became much worse. On 9/11 about forty times as many people were murdered as at Waco. In both cases the murderers have so far gone unpunished.WHY? On May 13, 1985 the Philadelphia headquarters of MOVE, a radical black organization, was destroyed by a bomb dropped from a police helicopter; in the explosion and subsequent fire, 11 members of MOVE, including five children, died and 61 homes were destroyed. Michael Boyette served on the grand jury that heard testimony against Mayor Wilson Goode ( A BLACK MAN) and police commissioner Gregore Sambor, but did not indict them WHY?  In this compelling account the authors, husband and wife, present a history and analysis of the movement. Founded by the virtually illiterate John Africa, MOVE preached a philosophy of uncontaminated nature--pure air and water and uncooked food, for instance--and a reverence for life, including the rats and cockroaches that infested their headquarters. Founded in the 1970s, the group had its first confrontation with authority in 1978, when a police officer was killed in a siege and several MOVE members were charged with murder. MOVE then became militant, disrupting the neighborhood to the point that the city was forced to take action, argue the authors, who convincingly conclude that the 1985 tragedy was caused more by official bungling than by malevolence. So far gone unpunished. WHY? Three of the five policemen whose 50-bullet barrage killed an unarmed Sean Bell on his wedding day were indicted in a case that heightened racial tensions and renewed allegations that the city's officers are too fast on the trigger.

Attorneys for officers Marc Cooper, Gerscard Isnora and Michael Oliver said their clients had been indicted, but they did not know what offenses the officers had been charged with. Grand jurors had considered charges including murder, manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide. The three officers fired the most shots — Cooper, 4, Isnora, 11, and Oliver, 31 — in the Nov. 25 confrontation that killed 23-year-old Sean Bell and wounded two of his friends as they left Bell's bachelor party at a strip club in Queens. WHY? There are plenty of statistics that document the horrible reality of racism.And nothing being done. WHY? The death of Amadou Diallo became a defining event for the New York Police Department. The shooting of the unarmed West African immigrant by four white officers spurred protests, prompted various examinations of the department's admittedly aggressive tactics, and attracted so much attention. This happen when Officer Carroll mistook the black wallet in Mr. Diallo's hand for a weapon, he shouted ''Gun!'' and fired. The officers claim confusion, the four officers fired a total of 41 bullets, striking Mr. Diallo 19 times some of the bullet in his feet. The officers want people to believe that Mr. Diallo while being chase and then fire at he pulled out a wallet. For what? He wanted to indenify hisself while being murdered? That was a LIE! These officers couldn't just murder Mr. Diallo they had to go further and disrespect him. It was left to the prosecution to suggest that Mr. Diallo might have acted the way he did simply because he feared the four strangers. State Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer's civil rights bureau later reported that 62.7 percent of all people stopped by the unit were black, and that 16 blacks were stopped for every 1 arrested, compared with 10 whites stopped for every 1 arrested. In defending the unit. Mr. Safir said that the ''unfortunate truth is that communities of color are disproportionately victimized by violent street crime.'' Bull! The officers where back to work before the bodie was in the ground.WHY? IN THE former USSR, people knew that the country’s state-owned newspaper Pravda would peddle Moscow’s line, no matter how outrageous the lies. George W. Bush can’t boast that the Republican Party owns the country’s newspapers, television stations or radio networks. But he can still count on a press that’s nearly as obedient as Pravda.

No matter how many lies George Bush tells about Iraq’s "threat" to the U.S., the corporate media won’t ask him the hard questions. Bush and his administration know that they can count on the "patriotism" of the white press--which will report on the coming war like a local sports reporter rooting for the home team. And Bush--unlike the rulers of the former USSR--won’t even have to issue any orders or appoint any news censors. That’s because the white press in the U.S. censors itself.

The Bush administration has provided White House media credentials to a man who has virtually no journalistic background, asks softball questions to the president and his spokesman in the midst of contentious news conferences, and routinely reprints long passages verbatim from official press releases as original news articles on his website. This make me think everybody America see in those press conferences are plants.

Jeff Gannon calls himself the White House correspondent for TalonNews.com, a website that says it is "committed to delivering accurate, unbiased news coverage to our readers." It is operated by a Texas-based Republican Party delegate and political activist who also runs GOPUSA.com, a website that touts itself as "bringing the conservative message to America." YEAH RIGHT! The obscenity trial of Luther Campbell, the 29-year-old leader of the rap music group 2 Live Crew was such a show of white rule and white double standard. It struck me odd and stupid to go after this rap group for obscenity. When I was looking at the new report the news reporter went to a record store to interveiw the store keeper about the sale of 2 Live Crew album. Right next door to the record shop was a Porn film shop. Where white people where participating in  prostitution on film sex with animals gay sex group sex anal sex sex with toys. But 2 Live Crew was on trial for not having sex in front of anybody they just talk about it.WHY? THAT"S STUPID!!'Oh yeah, Where in the hell is Jimmy Hoffa!

You know what I'm getting sick of hearing . White people are scare of being called racist . Who the hell are they? In this country whites all of my 49yrs. have not given a damm about being a racist nor doing racist things. At about five years old I was told that in the south whites had something called JIM CROW. Where whites by LAW could treat black people less than human White where not scare at that time..  At the age of 8yrs old Martin Luther King was murder by a WHITE MAN and white America said to Black people don't blame all white people . And that was right. Then I found out that a black American could pay taxes BUT couldn't vote. Also blacks could enter the military but had to enter a seperate military. Seperate barracks whites wasn't scare at that time.  Then I heard of the marches and black getting beat . And busing and blacks getting beat. Black children getting waterhoses shot directly at them By white people. 87% of blacks and hispanic in prison no one scare about disreportion sentencing. Mortgate company redlineing black people. Insurance company charging blacks more then white. Today in 2000 92yrs old black woman shot dead by white cops and you would think the world would be upset about that. Then a five year child home along shot dead by a WHITE COP. But NO justanother *** dead 41 bullet in the body of a black man who did nothing by four white cops . They where back to work before the body was in the ground. They where not scare of being called racist.
