REALITY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO INTRUDE ON THE ETERNAL VICTIM MENTALITY!

Good Lord. Sharpton is asking the FCC to investigate the NYPost in his "outrage" over their publishing of the chimp cartoon. News today with,

members of the NAACP saying they believe the cartoon is an invitation to assassinate the President.

It doesn't matter that the chimp cartoon was about the "stimulus" bill, NOT President Jackass and it doesn't matter that the "stimulus" bill was put together by PELOSI NOT THE OBAMUNIST.

All that matters is that people see hate and racism everywhere, all the time, even when it isn't there. Keeps the money flowing to those invested in it.

Kevin Ferris has this to say about the racial dialogue that the AG recently said Americans were to "cowardly" to have:

The country just elected its first black president. No other nation in the world has ever elected to its highest office a member of a racial minority that was subject to legal segregation just 50 years earlier.

Yet this is a nation of cowards? Because average Americans aren't "comfortable enough with one another . . . to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us"? Our historic actions apparently don't speak louder than our lack of words.

If Americans don't talk enough about race, it's because they've learned from long experience that such efforts are often futile. If no action is ever enough, how could words help? At the end of almost any dialogue, Americans know the refrain will remain: We still have a long way to go.

The implication is that we still have widespread, deep-seated racial hatred in this country. Not so. Actually, our remaining differences on race have little to do with legal barriers to equality or opportunity. The debate today is about the means of achieving racial parity, not the end itself.

Holder addressed one of those means, affirmative action, in his speech. He said there can be "very legitimate debate" on the issue - "nuanced, principled, and spirited." But too often, he said, the conversation is "simplistic and left to those on the extremes."

I'm guessing that the "extremes" include people who oppose race-based policies such as affirmative action. That was the view of the Clinton administration, which made much of its national dialogue on race, but whose distinguished commission included no one who had fundamental disagreements with the use of racial preferences.

In other words, let's have an "honest and open" dialogue on race, but don't bring up certain views, or you will be labeled an extremist - i.e., racist.

Exactly. Larrey Anderson has a great piece on WHAT exactly racism is to the left. Read and learn. You don't wanna be a coward, do you?
