What does gripe me about the whole Imus thing is he made a stupid comment and got sandbagged for it.
The Rev. "JIZZY" Jackson and the Rev. Al "The Clown" Sharpton don't give a damn about poor black people. They are just the pawns to give them glory, fame and wealth.
I can say the following because I have met the Rev. J. Jackson. Call it a feeling, but I think he is the most evil man I have ever met in my life, and knowing some very bad ass bikers, that's saying something.
What further torques my jaws is if I say the "n" word, then I'm a racist. But, If some black man calls me an ofay honky, that's OK? BS!
Methinks it's time to scuttle all this PC crap. Political correctness is destroying this country through the divisions it causes. Hyphenated named like African-American, ot Italian-American, or Mexican-American or even Native-American are just plain divisive and should not be tolerated. Think, "United we stand. Divided we fall." I am a native American. I was bloody well born here. I do not call my self French-American either. I am an American of French descent. If some PC butt wipe doesn't like, he can throw the first punch and it damn well betetr be a good one cuz then it's my turn. This is one Frog who didn't drop his rifle when the chips were down.

Paul,

I agree completely. I think we are all Americans of some descent. I refer to myself as an Ameriacn of Italian descent. I love my Italian roots, but it is this country that I love. It is nice to visit Italy, but America is my home. Plain and simple.

I also agree with you on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and the fact that this PC crap really has this nation divided.

It seems to be the same old liberal spiel, some rich white or black politically motivated moron with a microphone wrapping the flag of protection around some poor, ignorant, down trodden, unable to "defend themselves" folks that happen to have a moment in the lime light (media generated). This is just sickening. Those players would have never even given this a second thought if some avid Imus hater with some connections wouldn't have thrown him to the media wolves. In fact they probably didn't even know who Imus was, I mean you're 20 something, in college and an athelte. I don't think the Imus show is exactly on your top 10 watching or listening list. I'd be more PO'd that all these other folks were using me for their own gains after the fact. I mean really what Sharpton and Jackson are saying is that these girls are mentally and physically unable to defend themselves.

If I were Imus, I guess I'd avoid going to the girls' b-ball post game party and repeating his statement amongst the girls and their peers.

If I were Sharpton or Jackson, I guess I'd avoid the same party after treating these athetes like they are unable to defend themselves or I may end up in a pile right next to Imus.

I've a naturalized Mexican hand ("worker") here. He calls me the "Gringa", "white boy", "old man" and "boss". I call him the "beaner, "Mexican backhoe", and "Muhado".

When we call each other those names, we are smiling. We respect each other.

The other day A white guy asked me why I wanted a job done a particular way? My beaner hand/friend looked at him and said "Because the old griga sign you check white boy." I love that beaner.

Oh BTW, did anybody know Louis Farican was once a Calipso singer? His stage persona was called "Calipso Louie"
Dey-O!

And I'm not sure just exactly what I meant by "got it", it just seemed ta fit.

Proud To Be White
Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans,
etc.
And then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my
direction.
You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey,"
"Whitey," "Caveman" .. and that's OK.

But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head,
Sand-nigger,
camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... you call
me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence
against you,
so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to
live?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have
Martin Luther
King
Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar
Chavez Day.
You
have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi You have
the NAACP.
You have BET.

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) ..
we'd be
racists.
If we had a White Pride Day .. you would call us
racists.
If we had White History Month .. we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to
"advance" OUR
lives ..
we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black
Chamber of
Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber
of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?

If we had a college fund that only gave white
students
scholarships
... you know we'd be racists. There are over 60
openly
proclaimed
Black Colleges in the US , yet if there were
"White colleges" ..
THAT would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you
were marching
for your race and rights. If we marched for our
race and rights,
you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and
orange, and you're
not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our
white pride
..
you call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when
a white
police
officer
shoots a black gang member or beats up a black
drug-dealer
running
from the law and posing a threat to society .. you
call him a
racist.

I am proud.
But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?
