4. Ha.
It's ridiculous, seriously. They also believe black oriented magazines, newspapers and networks (BET) are racist, as well.

6. Exactly!
Edited on Sat May-30-09 01:45 AM by Drunken Irishman
I've actually used that as an example to defend "Black Pride".

"Why can't we have White Pride?"

Because black is more than just a race, it's a culture. White encompasses a lot of different cultures dependent of the skin color.

You have Irish Pride, British Pride, Aussie Pride, German Pride, Welsh Pride, French Pride, etc.

Black, most importantly, African, is a culture & a race.

White is not a culture. My Irish roots are, however. If the Irish were green, it'd most likely be Green Pride and not say, Irish Pride.

Or Paddy Pride.

Or whatever they call themselves today.

7. Darn, you're making a good point on a joke thread
I've always felt that way, too. Sometimes I think the pro-white pride group are just jealous that they don't have a distinct foreign heritage of which to be proud.

8. Possible.
I left out Italian Pride, too, which is huge.

Funny, though, no one ever calls them racists.

Alito even hinted at his Italian heritage as something that will impact his decision making.

But did anyone call him a bigot? Racist? Nope.

I guess maybe because Italian isn't a race, but it's still a culture and definitely one many Americans identify with.

9. See, the fatal flaw in your argument
Edited on Sat May-30-09 04:15 AM by coyotespaw
is calling the Reich Wingers' fumbling attempts at logic "reasoning." Calling the misfiring of their ganglia "reasoning" is like comparing a four year old banging on a pot lid to Neal Peart's drumming.
