It would be at this point where we both can honestly say we are BOTH correct and part in agreement.

Yes, I understood what you were saying.

Yeah, you see those guys on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC all the time.

They are often quoted in the New York Times, Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, too.

And they are also guest columnists for the Huffington Post as well.

They are totally all over the mainstream mass media.

Great comeback!

Any more political celebrities on the forefront of American discourse you wish to add? lol.

Post #60

I respond to your response:

I never wrote "there are no white people that present themselves as spokespeople for white people". You are misquoting because your argument has been deflated.

I wrote: "White people don't have self-appointed racial spokespeople."

Or in other words, "White mainstream America hasn't gathered around and thrown support to one or two people who claim to speak for White America." But you knew that.

You tried but failed. I can't say I blame you, though.
Post #64 you respond to my post #60:

When did the last "white" spokesman exist? You don't see any white people come out and defend white criminals on the basis of race.

Sam Barrow made the comment that you don't see white people coming out, etc.

Do try to keep up!!!
Now explain how I'm not keeping up?

Well there are white people out there who try to justify the criminal behavior committed by their own, and it is equally as disgusting. And personally, as empathetic as I feel for the victim of this crime, you would have a hard time making me feel guilty or even remotely responsible for the actions of those eight men. Sadly I suspect that that is the reaction you are hoping for...

Well I'm glad you know what's in my head better than I do but if you could read and have a little common sense you'd see that is obviously not what I'm expecting.

Of course this is not going to be charged as a hate crime because the victim is white and the media is biased pile of crap. In reality, the eight black youths should be charged with a hate crime.

Screw double standards; screw them all the way to Hell. This crap pisses me off. People just need to wake up to these damn racist double standards.

FBI — Uniform Crime Reports
so, Blacks make up more of a % of the perps of hate crimes than their % of the total pop, and whites less! Wow, very telling. Also considering that to designate something a hate crime is a political one, with most DA's making the call. THey more often than not back down from charging blacks with this charge.

It only emboldens the racists that exist within the black community. Note, I did not say ALL blacks behave this way, i mentioned the ones that do within their community.

Notice the only place you even hear about it is in a UK newspaper? Where are the American media? Where are Jesse and Al demanding justice for the lynching victim? Where's Barry saying the gangbangers acted stupidly? Where's Eric Holder to prosecute these animals for a hate crime? Notice even in this article, there's no mention of race. Can you imagine the outcry if a gang of eight white youths beat beat a black boy to a bloody pulp? Jesse and Al would be leading riots in the streets. It would be all over the media and you can bet your ass they would be screaming HATE CRIME. Barry and Holder would be demanding justice for hate crimes.

Where is Paul Kersey when you need him?

My concealed carry weapon of choice has 14 shots. How many of them were there again?
