[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] I don't think the 'White Man' stands for anything any more than the 'Black Man' stands for anything. Just by using the generalization, you categorically ignore the fact that there are both good and bad people from all ethnicities. This is why I cannot stand it when racism is reflexively used as a trump card for any confrontation between members of different 'races.' We saw this in the Gates\Crowley incident. First thing out of Obama's mouth (paraphrased) was "I don't know anything about the situation..." quickly followed by "But the white cop was an idiot..." and "Just goes to show what racism still exists in America." Not, "I don't know the details so I'll reserve judgement until I do...", but that it had to be a racist cop putting down the innocent black professor. DAMN WHITEY!!!! The reaon I added the quotes above is to show what keeps the spectre of racism alive. It's the refusal to let go of the past and acknowledge the strides that have been made. Bill Cosby has been almost universally outcast by many leaders in the 'black community' because of this very message. [i]Rev. Wright epitomizes the thoughts and actions that have prevented and continue to prevent black America from moving ahead and achieving their potential as a people. He suggests that this United States of America made up of sons and daughters of immigrants (I'm talking of the millions of 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation immigrants in this country) of every race, creed, color and religion, each and everyone of them who had nothing to do with slavery, somehow owe something to a group of people who have never been slaves? It's amazing. It seems everyone is to blame for the shambles black society is in with its violence, drugs, high school drop out rates, misogyny, and a host of other real and virulent problems, except for the very people who engage in such behavior. Enough. As a society, culture or people, they should look within themselves and fix their problems. When did this man become the spokesman for the black church? And of course his church is different, but that doesn't mean his message and philosophy is acceptable, or productive or non-offensive or not-racist or indicative or our greater cultural behaviors, values and norms as Americans. And yes, the link between this man and Obama really does matter. At a very minimum, it provides insight into the political and philosophical strain that Obama adheres to.[/i] Comment by Bill Cosby - April 28, 2008 [/QB][/QUOTE]
