What if there was a white Jesse Jackson?

Mavrick,

I've thought about that quite extensively.  At work, we have various orginizations for individuals of various creeds, sex and sexual orientation.  I've wondered how well a "white hetrosexual male" group would be received.

The more I thought about it, the more I understood the various groups.  It is more difficult to shun perception if you fit into one of the categories I see listed above.  Trying to "fit" into the society that the W.A.S.P has deemed acceptable isn't easy and sometimes requires groups to overcome stereotyping and bigotry.

Alot of it seems to come from wanting to instill acceptance and pride for who you are.  Mostly by re-affirming things with like people.  I am all for it.

What I am not for is any group that plots the demize of another.  That transcends all races and beliefs.  People that plot to kill lumberjacks because they are hurting trees... people that plot to kill greenpeace members because they are stopping whaling... people that plot to kill someone because he/she is black, white, American, Basque, Italian, Republican, Democrat, Hispanic, homosexual, hetrosexual, female, male, pro-abortion, anti-abortion... whatever.

Hate is hate no matter how many people in the room agree with you.

And on a side note... does it make you a racist if you bust up laughing at "Blazing Saddles" when the town mayor says:

"We'll take the Chinks, Jews and cupcakes... but we don't want no Irish!"

The racial stereotype blasting in that movie is some of the funniest I've ever seen.

Hehe, Blazing Saddles, IMHO, is an instant classic. They made the racists look like complete tards.

ROFL, so many funny lines, where to start?

I don't think you can legitimately lump JJ and the KKK in the same racist boat.  I don't care for Jesse Jackson, and I definately agree that he further divides whites and blacks in this country, but there is one very important fact that seperates him from the KKK.  JJ doesn't espouse violence as a solution to racial problems, and he doesn't have 100+ years of murder and violence behind him.

 Hmmmm, lets see.

 Jesse Jackson is with gore.

 Gen. Powell is about to become Secretary of State in the Bush administration.

 How to chose. How to chose

I have some "racism" questions

1. There are what are called "black churches" thes are like 100% black and so they are called black churches. Q: what if there was something called a white church?...nope we couldent have that, thats racist.

2. There is a channel called BET (black entertainment television) all of the shows and commercials are geared twords black people.  Q: what if there was something called white entertainment television, and all its programs were geared to whites and so where its commercials....nope couldent have that, thats racist.

3. A black comedian can get on stage and make fun of white people all day long and get nothing but laughter, If a white make a joke about black people or anything related to them ..uh ho...He's a racist.

4. black guy walking through an area of mainly white people whome he doesent know: nothing likeley to happen

White guy walking though predomiantly black area whome he doesent know: he is likley to get harasses...probably because he's a "racist"

And another thing, I hate it when you look a a job app and at the top it says  

"equal opertunity affirmitive action employer"

Equal opertunity: whoever is most qualified gets the job.

Affirmitive action: Depending on what "minority" you are you will be given extra "points" so that you may get the job even though someone with less "points" may be better qualified.

therfore

"equal opertunity affirmitive action" = oxymoron racist roadkill.

I know this will make me a "racist' but black people are the most racist folks there are, and thats pretty much indisputable.
