“Racist!”: What’s in a Name? Power, Not Equality

[FNFAN]

You see, as OLD PEOPLE, we CAN say and do AS WE PLEASE...........and get away with it, cuz "we're cute"

There now seems to be protection from even Federal prosecution if you're a, "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" (And a Democrat )

The phrase is so overused it has no meaning any more. It is used as a bludgeon by people who have nothing to contribute. Racial entrepreneurs like Al Sharpton have found a way to enrich themselves by stirring that pot and fomenting hate. Anytime racism comes out of the mouths of politicians they show me how shallow they are and have lost me from then on.

One of my all time favorite quotes, which tends to make Lib's heads explode:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”​
