That is REAL racism, aka plantation politics.
First America has always had affirmative action. When the only ones that could vote were white males that owned land that was affirmative action. When Black Americans weren't allowed to attend colleges or universities, hold political office or serve on juries that was affirmative action. When women couldn't own property that was affirmative action. White Males have had Affirmative Action in America for hundreds of years often at the expense of the civil rights and fair treatment of women and non-White Americans.

But you don't feel that way. Why? Because you feel that you are entitled to those things and that is the essence of WHITE PRIVILEGE!

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

I know, you think you’ve taken “your country back” with this election -- and of course you have always thought it was yours for the taking, cuz that’s what we white folks are bred to believe, that it’s ours, and how dare anyone else say otherwise -- but you are wrong. You have won a small battle in a larger war the meaning of which you do not remotely understand.
...
This isn’t hubris. It isn’t ideology. It is not wishful thinking.
It is math.
Not even advanced math. Just simple, basic, like
3rd grade math.
The kind of math that proves how your kind -- mostly older white folks beholden to an absurd, inaccurate, nostalgic fantasy of what America used to be like -- are dying.
You’re like the bad guy in every horror movie ever made, who gets shot five times, or stabbed ten, or blown up twice, and who will eventually pass -- even if it takes four sequels to make it happen -- but who in the meantime keeps coming back around, grabbing at our ankles as we walk by, we having been mistakenly convinced that you were finally dead this time.

And as minorities improve their economic standing in life through education and hard work, they will recognize that capitalism is what makes us the richest and most successful nation in the world and will reject the victimization by the far left, along with their efforts to maintain control over them..they will wake up the same way that America woke up during the past 18 months...by the way..the Daily Kooks as a source...zero credibility...

Lol DVD360 and other liberals on this thread seem to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. I guess they spent too much time hanging out with Robert Mugabe I guess he's the leader that these racist ignorant liberals wish to have. Take everything away from the evil white conservative person and hand it over to the black person or other minority, nevermind what the consequences are.

Here's a question: Do you know what affirmative action is?

And you libs will still be the minority.
Yes, except it will be a more extreme form of conservativism.

Liberals are dumb. They spend their time attacking Southern whites while kissing up to Third World immigrants who are ten times as backwards, religious, and bigoted as any Southerner is. I am speaking in general terms here.

So George Bush is "stupid" but any minority we shove into power is a rocket scientist? (Just like Obama).

The other poster has a good point. He is talking about whites in general, and NOT the wierdo politician that gets put into power for whatever reason. Whites overall run societies better. Look at Europe and compare it to Africa for starters.

The letter is in no way suggesting genocide but the days of an America that is politically, economically and socially dominated by White Americans is coming to a close. That is one of the reasons there is a deep seated hatred of President Obama. He represents that future.

Nobody is suggesting that White people are going to become extinct. That is more your fear at work than any reality. The blog entry is more about the fact that NOBODY can stop the social changes this country is about to undergo. But they will try. They will try hatefully and they will try violently. They have ALWAYS TRIED and THEY WILL FAIL.

Better yet look at our advanced, progressive, southerly neighbor for inspiration. They are minority nation after all, we should inspire to be like them!

Why are liberals so hateful towards "old fashioned whites" yet so welcoming of everybody else? Many Third World immigrants who immigrate to America come to the South (not just the North). Yet, liberals speak of the Third World countries these immigrants leave as more advanced than the South.

Of course we all know that white red state voters are the only people liberals feel it is okay to hate. Be careful what you wish for. When the Southern white man disappears you can have your multicultural utopia you have dreamed of. You will have the Third World America you always wanted.

And in regards to your post inparticular, it sounds to me like you are suggesting that hispanics and blacks overall are more intelligent than red state whites with your "president martinez " comment. This is another lie liberals love to chant from the hilltops. All you have to do is look at nation wide test scores. Who is doing the worst in school? It isn't Southern whites by any means. It is people who liberals cherish more than they cherish Southern whites.
Nonsense, I'm talking about voter interest in change and/or progressive leadership that could combat the very real threats listed in my 2nd paragraph. It is quite clear that Southern white democrats are almost non-existant. And since I don't believe Republican leadership has any interest in tackling these problems, Southern whites ain't cool with me (although a couple of people I love are them).

The Republican party only talks about spurring the economy and less government. That was fine at times in the past, but we need much much more help in the 21st century.
