Must everything be a racial issue?

I can't wait to see the racist rationalization by Justus today.

Tiger woo,while you waiting for a comment from Justus, the unemployment office need your signature on a job application.

Gasko is an idiot. The shooter admitted he was a white supremist. What more do you need? What he didn't expect was to get shot back at.

I agree with the letter writer 90%. But to clear up history, it wasn't black people who originated the "hyphenated American" term. If you read "Democracy in America" by Alexis De Tocqueville which was published around 1840, you will see Anglo-American, Spanish-American, French-American, etc already in use to explain the various groups of people in America at that time.

John Gasko is you ignorant and belligerent because you don't want to believe that the killing at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C.was done by a white supremacist the oldest American terrorist group that started bombing churches,homes of colored people in the 60's.This been going on way before 9-11.So, go on your web site and see how many,forty, new hate groups you will find posted.

Mr Gasko admitted and stated that the shooter was a "nut case". That is not a quality linked to any race in particular, we all have them in our midst.

The problem with this issue is its a no win issue if your white and disagree. Any time you state your own opinion you are called a white supremist. I think its good to have so many races living together. I am just tired of being called a white supremist just because I disagree with seeing pants hanging down or being called a cracker. If I ask you to turn your music down then I am a trouble maker. Americans as a whole are tired of this game and our nerves are wearing thin. Over the next couple of years you will see a lot more americans standing up for their rights no matter what your skin color is

The hyphenated American attitude was reintroduced in the mid 60s by the left as a wedge to separate the population and bring about strife. Part of the old approach of "divide and conquer". Mostly what it has done is remove national pride from the subsidy crowd. These easily tricked fools are good Dem loyalists and that was the plan all along. Obviously, the system worked. As you can see from TORTUREs post, the goofy mantra is well memorized and chanted, just like on CNN. Who's surprised?

John:According to the FY05 Army Profile (the official Army Demographics), in 2005, 39.2% of the Army was classified as "non-white. Dang PT, those d*amn Irish Americans on St Patrick's Day. I thought they were just out having fun, I didn't know they were trying to "separate the population and bring about strife". I'll have to keep an eye on them next year.

Hey Gasko, minorities are other than black. That in and of itself proves your lack of intelligence. Racist!

The terms "Anglo-American, African-American, Spanish-American", etc. should only be used when, and for, people who have recently immigrated to the United States. If you and your family have lived here for more than 1 generation then you should consider yourselves "American"! If people can call me "White" then why is it so offensive to call someone "Black"?? There's safety in numbers and if white people all band together then it's wrong, but if any minority group bands together it's perfectly alright. I feel if we are to move on as a society then people are going to have to get one fact into their heads, "No one owes anyone for what has been done to their race in the past"! People need to get off their backsides, quit expecting the government to feed, clothe, and house them, and get to work. The government only needs to come up with programs to provide good, inexpensive, childcare for those who want to return to work but can't due to the cost of childcare. We all need to work together. If we don't help each other, then how can we expect anyone else to help us?

Addisons65 I was feeling you for a while until you had to say "People need to get off their backsides, quit expecting the government to feed, clothe, and house them, and get to work",
knowing you are talking about the minority race.
If you trully meant ALL people then I agree with you but atlas you were talking about Blacks.
That's one of the favorite phases of the racist on this site, government handout, thugs, lazy, criminals, welfare, etc. We all know when they apply any of these phases they are referring to blacks. or using something like, "Mostly what it has done is remove national pride from the subsidy crowd" from the racist PT.
I use the term 'black' and have never known anyone to consider it offensive. They may perfer the term African American.

And who marginalize the dedication of servicemen by saying their numbers aren't large enough to be significant. Not to mention the shooting at the holocaust museum was an act of hate. Did he go in there just to shoot a black guard? Probably not. However his plan was to go massacre people in the Holocaust Museum because of his anti-semitic and racist views.

addisons65@7:12-GOOD POST. But you wait someone on here is going to slam you with negative comments.My favorite part was "No one owes anyone for what was done to their race in the past"& the part about them getting off their backsides,getting off goverment assistance.Getting a job not expecting anyone to help them.YEP now I'll be slammed with you.So you wont be alone.

i think in 1840 your could still say anglo-american, french-american etc because many people in 1840 were immigrants who were from those countries and not born here but came to live and become citizens of america........their children and subsequent children after that who were born in america should have only carried the title of american......if people want to honor their heritage and remember where their ancestors came from then let them do that, however, that ancestorial heritage should not carry a title now in persons who have not come from those countries directly

Told you.To AAQueen@8:53 why it may be true some of the things you said.I can assure you I mean all colors.Cause there is some lazy aws white people too.Some people even call them white trash.They know how to work the system.Dont wont to get a job, wont something for free.Then lets not forget the illegals who are here.They get free education,heath and other benefits.FREE to them but not the tax payers.

the man went into a holocaust museum......duh......i would expect to find more jews than blacks in a holocaust museum so to say his hatred was only against blacks i think would be incorrect.......seems to me the black guard was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and the guy had more against jews

I would rather be called African American than ni$$er!!

I would rather becalled African American than monkey!!

i agree with addison65.......there are too many able bodied people of all races getting handouts who could be out there working if you ask me......our welfare system needs a complete overhall and stop giving to many of them......and regardless of race there needs to be a cut off number for the number of kids a woman is allowed to claim for welfare.......one child ok accidents happen.......two kids ok we'll give you that......more than two no extra money per child there are ways to prevent pregnancies

I would rather be called African American than coon!!

I would rather be told my children are not welcomed than to have nooses hung from trees at their schools!!

I would rather white folks stop lying as though race doesn't matter when they know it does!!

cp.....someone needs to tell the blacks to stop calling themselves the n word.......when you hear them calling each other that word and hear it in their own music then it is hypocritical to tell someone else they can't use the word....jmho....an before anyone bashes me i don't use the word

the race card works both ways cp don't try to say it doesn't

southernguy08 at 6:08am: I was thinking the exact same thing.

Racism is a problem for white and black people... The Supreme Court should not allow any race to have ownership on bogotry because we all do it!!
