Everyone here knows that article was written, and so far, I haven't seen one person refute its facts (which to be redundant, can easily be footnoted).
Quote:
No people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
Again, add up the trillions, add to that the IMF and World Bank subsidies, foreign aid, AIDS care, missionary workers.....nobody has done more for black people. If black people want to put their lives in the hands of thugs like ANC and Mugabe or a host of other corrupt leaders -- then they are free to do so -- but hardly any black american does so. End of story.
I have Italian friends and they call themselves simply American. My best friend now lives here was born in Vancouver and she simply calls herself American. My partner is Jewish and he doesn't call himself a "Jewish American", he calls himself an American.
Again, if everyone REALLY wants to "talk" about race, maybe the black community should stop self segregating.......start being Americans, not "African-Americans". It isn't the white community that created "Black Entertainment Television", the white community didn't create the "Congressional Black Caucus". Stop self segregating. Isn't segregation what MLK stood against???? He would roll over in his grave.
Black people "self-segregate" as a response to centuries of legal, and/or de facto societal, cultural, economic and social segregation that was imposed on them by White America. It's as simple as that. If we weren't held apart before, we wouldn't have a need to hold ourselves apart now.

MLK did not stand against segregation; he stood up against the discrimination that led to segregation. If there were true equality in every aspect of this society, there would be no need for segregation, nor any desire to do so amongst blacks or whites or others.
Stop distorting MLK's words, philosophies and visions.

OK, if you CHOOSE to segregate yourself, then don't fuss when other groups choose to segergate themselves.
What you posted is the biggest crock I've ever read. We don't create dialogue by self-segregating, and that goes for any and all groups....white, black, Hispanic, Jewish, gay, straight.
Again, add up the trillions, add to that the IMF and World Bank subsidies, foreign aid, AIDS care, missionary workers.....nobody has done more for black people.

End of story.
So let me get this straight, African Americans pay no taxes, don't work as missionaries, aren't doctors, nurses or AID's researchers? Or am I missing something?
As for the ANC and Mugabe, et.al, well that's just a stupid comment and we'll leave it at that.
As usual, white people always know what's best for us Moderator cut: inappropriate. The fact that we aren't grateful to even be in this country on equal footing with them so blessed by God is an abomination unto itself.
Is that about right?

That is fundamentally false and it defies nature.
People voluntarily self-segregate and that is Mother Nature at work. Nothing will ever change it, despite the best efforts of marxists, who always fail at trying it (even at gunpoint).
Look at churches. Almost every single Christian (Asian, black, Hispanic, white.....) attends a church where more than 80% of the attendees are the same race.
When it comes to voluntarily choosing a church, there is no forced inequality. This shows us what Nature designs, unlike our marxist workplaces which push and force an unnatural paradigm on mankind via racist programs like affirm action, quotas and other bizarre things that all people choose to avoid in their personal associations.
People are more comfortable around their own race, and there are a million other examples that verify this.

Not attending to poor Whites or White countries as volunteers. Can you provide an example? Have any seriously rich blacks gone out of their way to specifically help White people, and do so on a racial basis? It's not even close to how many whites have deliberately and consciously helped the black races all over the world.

It is not a stupid comment. The ANC and Mugabe's record is all there to examine, just as the record of White America over the last 40 years is there to examine (affirm action, Pell grants, subsisized housing, trillions spent, etc).
Now let us examine the record of Black America over the same 40 years. (Hint: economic costs, racial crime against whites)
The conversation will never occur in the media or academia in earnest however, because the "dailogue" that Obama and Eric Holder really want is only a one-sided litany of complaints and anti-white racist rants.
Buchanan is so right, as he always is. He's the most honest pundit our country has.

Coming from a white person all I can say is - whatever you believe Moderator cut: inappropriate!
