Kendricks,

You are wrong about Clinton.

Picture walking through the doors of Adelitas with Clinton playing his Sax with that big counrty boy grin, passing out Cubans and you being able to tell everyone that Bubba is your best amigo.

By the way I bet that country boy has fucked a lot of women that we never heard about in the press

Ben:How about Tiger Woods as "the most outstanding living African American"?

Ben, I hate name dropping but, I've met Tiger several time through work, and trust me, he's just a kid(that can play golf).

I vote for Tyra Banks to be "the most outstanding living Black(oops,can I say that?) American".

-snapper-

If I could go mongering with any political figure of any time, it would be hands down Ben Franklin. This fat gringo was "King of all Whore Mongers". I bet it would have been a blast to party with this guy.

Kendricks,

I am glad to see you are back to your old self. I need some of this good entertainment.

I dont operate at the intellectual level that most of you guys do. I was born half retarded, was kicked in the head a few times by horses, and generally destroyed my remaining brain cells through drug and alcohol abuse. But it always seemed to me that the idea that a person of color had to think just like all the rest of his racial persuasion is just wrong. So basically you say that Clarence Thomas, J.C Watts, Ward Connerly, Thomas Sowell, Condoleeza Rice, Shelby Steele, and other black consevatives are sell outs to their race because they follow political ideologies that are not common to the majority of blacks? White people can believe what they want, but colored people cant? Because somoeone belongs to one racial group they also have to belong to the same ideological group? Whatever happened to individual choice? Maybe I misunderstand your meaning, but calling someone a sellout to their race because they dont "toe the party line" seems pretty racist to me.

Flame away if you want. But I dont understand that line of reasoning.

Batster, I find it sad that you have fallen prey to the establishment's propaganda. Let me explain to you what you are missing here.

One of the longstanding complaints in this country has been the lack of representation of the interests of minority groups. Some fair minded whites in the general population have looked in the past at the lily white faces of the "representatives", and have agreed that the minority populations had a valid complaint.

In response, the entrenched ruling parties have placed people who are genetically minorities into office, so long as these people would not really represent the interests of the oppressed groups from which they were selected.

This allows the ruling parties to claim that they actually represent the interests of various groups, while they really have only put some token minorities on their payroll, on the condition that they behave and toe the ruling party line.

Sadly, people like you buy into this sham. And then you wonder why I have such disdain for the intellectual capacity of the masses....

Old Thai saying, "Lie to the people and they will
embrace you. Tell them the truth and they will hit you with sticks"

"But it always seemed to me that the idea that a person of color had to think just like all the rest of his racial persuasion is just wrong."

I probably need to get laid instead of reading inane threads like this one. However, after reading Batster's above post I had to smile. What a novel thought! The idea that a black person (or any other color for that matter) could have "human" thoughts that are common to all of us instead of simply parroting the current popular media image of a "home boy". Wow!

The total fraudulent character of most liberals, say 99%, is shown by their eagerness to embrace the idea that different races have different abilities to interact in this world. And that we have to make excuses, wrong word, exceptions for certain behavior. Of course, they don't put it that way since that it's not nice to call someone stupid.

If you are white (male) and act like an asshole, then you need to be called on it. If you are black and act like a nigger (flame time!!!!!!) then it's perfectly ok because you are merely being your true self and racist stupid white people are incapable of understanding or accepting that. However, if you are black (or any other color) and act like the majority standard of behavior then you are a sell out to your race. Hey, better unemployed and dependent on government handouts. That way you can be the victim and blame everyone else.

Dogster's comment that we all need to face our individual racisism reminds me too much of the ever popular PC crap on university campuses which says that certain groups are automatically exempt because of their past exploitation. Bullshit. Either we all show our shit or no one does. And being female or chicano or from Mars doesn't cut it for a free pass.

5 years living in the Dominican Republic with it's melting pot of European and African bloodlines proved to me that there is absolutely no difference in the ability of one race over another. Your skin color has zip to do with your inate intelligence. Ditto with how you perceive the world and act on the basic human emotions.

The "failure" of any group to "progress" is cultural. Kendricks and a few others hate the Arabs as much as many of them hate us. They look like people still living close to the Stone Age. I guess they see us as polluted both morally and materialistically. To me the litmus test is whether or not a society produces enough (you define what the word enough means) to support itself and for each generation to better itself (you can also define what better means).

Getting back to the theme of this thread, assuming anyone is hard up enough to still be reading, illegal immigrants come here because of the failures of their own systems. They can't feed themselves which is one of the most basic standards in which to judge a society. Their political systems are thoroughly corrupt and reward only the brutal. The notion of a safety net or a sense of common bonding as a society so that all meet certain minimal levels are non existant.

The norms of our culture are derived from certain ethnic and social backgrounds that no longer represent the backgrounds on many people in this country. The "haves" need to accept that the "have nots" must be integrated and that includes accepting some behaviors and attitudes that may not be what came over on the Mayflower. Yo Quiero Taco Bell. And the "have nots" need to accept that their past systems didn't work or they wouldn't be "have nots". And that means learning what does work in this country and adapting to it.

Making excuses for a group's behavior because of their race or whatever kind of background.... that's raciscm. Lowering the standards of what works so as not to offend someone.... that's racism.

If you got this far then you too need to get laid. Or at least find something better to do with your time.

BatSTER, interesting that ya mention Shelby Steele. I met his brother Claude 12 or 13 years ago, and it was pretty interesting. Claude and Shelby were interested in the same topics, but Claude was pretty anti-status quo at the time, and clearly not aligned with his more conservative brother at the Hoover Institute. He still sounds much different than his brother, but seems to have snagged a position at Stanford right next door to his more famous bro. Obviously, that makes him a sell out, lol. Oh, yeah, and never mind Kendricks. He's been that way ever since he got rejected by the FBI. He splooges all over his screen after he posts his dumbshit prattle.

Both Steele's have lots of thoughtful, cool stuff to say (as they rub elbows with other members of the conservative racial think tank in Palo Alto, eg. Sowell, Dinesh D'Sousa, etc.). Shelby's recent book is "A Dream Deferred: The Second Betrayal of Black Freedom in America." Shelby basically claims that much of the status quo's actions "for" Blacks is primarily based on white guilt, a self-serving desire for moral redemption. The actions/policies have almost nothing to do with any competent action on behalf of African-American interests. And that's what the conservative brother has to say.

So, I think the conservative African American contingent at Stanford/Hoover Institute is worth noticing, no matter where you fall politically. First off, the Hoover Institute/Stanford think tank plays a HUGE role in determining conservative governmental policy. So you can look at them as embodying the conspiracy that Kendricks is enamored with if you are so inclined. Or, you can look at it as the conservative powers that be and conservative blacks working to devise conservative policies that are in the interests of African Americans.

Even if I'm leery of the Hoover Institute group, I like to read their stuff and understand their views of the world, as well as their propaganda. I'm not convinced that their goal is to keep African Americans down. More likely, their goal is to bring marginalized groups back into the mainstream, and indoctrinate them to be loyal to, and productive within, the conservative status quo.

Actually, I think that this is a long way of agreeing with Batster's premise. If, as a whitey, you choose to listen to various points of view within African-American culture, you are doing well. But if you try to bludgeon blacks with your own one-dimensional view of them and their interests (e.g., Kendricks), you are way off. Not acknowledging different points of view within a single racial group is pure racism.

Dogster, I see you posted your well written thoughts right after mine. Your last line was, "Not acknowledging different points of view within a single racial group is pure racism". My apologies for not understanding your comments in an earlier post regarding the need for everyone to confront their own racial stereotypes.

The Internet is lots of fun but sometimes it's hard to get across exactly what you mean so even the most mentally challenged can understand. I'm going back to downloading music for the rest of the evening.

Tight_fit, you illiterate idiot.

You wrote, "Dogster's comment that we all need to face our individual racisism reminds me too much of the ever popular PC crap on university campuses which says that certain groups are automatically exempt because of their past exploitation.

There's plenty of PC crap on campuses saying that certain groups are exempt, as you describe. Those PC folks, who want to exempt certain groups, are the ones who most need to look at their own racism, and get off their soapboxes. They are what I call "victimized victimizers."

Why you twisted my words into some moronic crap is beyond me. I suggest that you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. Compassionately. And please blow away a few other members of whatever race you happen to be before you kill your own sorry ass.

Aw, hell. I hope they don't let Jesse Jackson or Johnny Cochran choose the next coach of the 49ers.

Yours in whoring...

Oops, T_f. Apology accepted. Please don't blow yourself away. Keep widening those chicas for me.

Ha ha. I wouldn't blow myself for anyone. Hell, I'm too fat to reach that far anyway.

Hee hee. Life is good at this site when you can suggest violent suicide to a fellow poster and have it be ok.

Dogster, speaking of that, hear is the "Whore Mongers Theme Song".

This is my most serious post in this thread. I want all you guysl to listen to this song because it applies to you. When you're in Tijuana and you hear this song think of the snappa'

...Oh, and you will hear it in the Zona because I'm going to burn it and give copies to the dj's along with a propina to play it.

It's really too bad this song is too long for radio play.

This is a "KILLER" song Monger Theme Song (Lift your head up).mp3 (4802.2 k)

Kendricks, take your medicine before listening to that song.

This is great entertainment.
All is normal I see !
Kendricks is back Ben is old and I get up every morning to see who bashes who

Kill whitey
Milkman

All right guys, I know it is hard, but try to focus.

No one is saying that any individual within a racial groups cannot have opinions which vary from others in that group. Of course, this has no relevance to my argument.

The point is, putting a black man on the Supreme Court who is simply going to rubber stamp Scalia's opinions, and then claiming that you are progressive and giving minority groups representation on the court, is a fraud and a sham.

This has nothing to do with "not acknowledging different points of view within a single racial group is pure racism", as was so disingenuously proposed by one notorious pseudointellectual in this group.

Putting puppets in office simply because they are members of a minority group who will toe the ruling party's line, and then claiming you have given unrepresented groups representation, is a racist sham. How sad that many of you are too blinded by your own racist tendencies to recognize this simple fact.

(Message edited by kendricks on February 07, 2003)

Kendricks,

I think I understand what you are saying. But I am not sure. LOL. As I said, I don't operate on the same intellectual level as most of you guys. I proudly form part of the "uneducated masses". And I guess I have fallen prey to the establisments propoganda. But, like the rest of the docile sheep, I like it that way. It seems much simpler for me to keep on thinking that any person, of any racial persuasion, should be able to follow any creed or ideology that he sees fit without being stereotyped as an "üncle tom". But since all of this shit is way over my head, you are probabaly right and I will study your point of view. LOL

Dogman,

I think Shelby is pretty interesting. He is actually not that conservative. But for a black person he would be considered very conservative. I guess he escaped from that "ideological plantation" where lots of whites seem to think he should stay.

I agree with Milkman. Kendricks and dogster are back in good form, and I am happy about it. The board was getting boring with all that talk about whores and stuff with very little politics. Now if Kendricks could mix political disertation with one of his outstanding juicy sex stories we could end the week on a high note.

groove on hombres

Batman, I do agree with part of what you are saying - the part about me being right, and this being over your head.

You seem to be stuck on the old Rush Limbaugh argument, which entirely misses the point: The unprivileged classes have no true representation in our government, and putting members of minority groups who will toe the ruling party's line in office is nothing but a racist sham. I have yet to see any of you even *attempt* to refute this point.

"The unprivileged classes have no true representation in our government"

Gee, could that be because they don't vote?

A disingenuous argument. In order to be a serious candidate, you must have the backing of the powerful demopublican machinery. The Demopublicans have gone to great lengths to ensure that unnapproved contenders get excluded from the debates, and are denied public funds for use in their campaigns.

The socalled "democratic election" involving Al Gore and Bush Jr. was truly nothing more than an electoral choice between two representatives of the privileged class. Should the truth be told, democracy is this country is a sham.

I know this is a difficult truth for you to accept, so feel free to cling to your comforting delusions.

"A disingenuous argument." Why do senior citizens have such political power? They are far from a majority.

IMO,voting on third parties is NOT a wasted vote. Remember that if a political party gets 5% of the popular vote in a national election that party gets federal funding. Last election Bucannon got 3%.

While Pat isn't a good example for the case of less privileged americans, it is a good example of how getting funding is NOT impossible. If people want change and more choice they need their polemical party to gain power. You need to start somewhere.

Senior citizens also have a shitload of money, and have interests aligned with the political machinery.

I agree with your comments re voting for third parties. I always vote for third party candidates. They never win, but I would hate for guys like Bush or Gore to think they have my support, or worse, to not vote and have them think I am content with the status quo.

Of course, none of this refutes my original point, which is that putting puppets like Clarance Thomas on the Supreme Court, and claiming that doing so is giving minority groups "representation", is a fraud and a sham.

As a wise man once said, if voting could actually change anything, it would be outlawed.

Senior citizens have interests aligned with the political machinery.

No,no the political machinery has aligned with their interest. Why? because they have the highest percentage of voter turn out.

Snapper, that is a stunning oversimplification, which misses an important point:

If the oldsters didn't have the money to put favorable candidates on the ballot in the first place, they would have no one to vote for.

I must give you credit for at least engaging in intelligent debate, though. I hope that Blazers, Dogster and Dickman are paying attention.

Kendricks, yes seniors account for some funding, but you know as well as I do that it is insignificant. The majority of funding comes from corporations. If the politicians had it their way only corporations would be able to vote.

Are you really going to tell me that politicians really give a shit about Medicare, Medicaid, prescription drug plans, and the biggest exploitation of seniors Social Security. These programs were all set up to make senior dependent on government. I'm sure most politicians would want seniors just crawled in their boxes if they didn't vote.

Kendricks, you are exactly right, IMO. Let me double up on my medication and get back to you.. Seriously, we are reaping what we have been sowing in this country. Us liberals want affirmative action - we got it! His name is Clarence Thomas. It is the ultimate irony (and a deserved one) that our affinity for race-based solutions has earned us Clarence Thomas on the supreme court.

And, guess who's next? - another rubber stamp, knee jerk conservative - this time a Latino. I forget his name, but he was just approved to a lower court last week and the word is that he is the next supreme court nominee - a Latino Clarance Thomas. We asked for it, we got it...

Miguel Estrada

I am thinkin LeBron James.

Forget Tiger Woods, this is my pick for most outstanding Black American Republican for 2003-2004.

You will be amazed how quickly this guy becomes a conservative when he gets his first 60 million.

I just hate the way the big corporations are going to exploit this kid and we need some of you liberals to step in and remind him how the Republican back corporate system is very corrupt and he needs to send back the 20 million that Nike will be paying him. He needs to make a statement against these rich manipulators.

Excellent point, Mr. Bill. Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, and the new Latino Clarence Thomas who is waiting in the wings, are the ultimate examples of irony.

Kendricks, I'm just curious about what you thought about Colin Powell's speech a couple years ago at the Republican National Convention, when he openly, and publicly denounced the special interests of the Republican Party.

Would you call him a puppet when he publicly denounced many of the party's interest and supporters?

I think I'm going to look for a transcript of that speech to refresh my memory of the specifics.

I didn't hear the speech to which you refer. If you can point me to a transcript of it, I might be able to formulate an opinion.

This is from his 2000 speech

"They are part of a growing population of over 2 million Americans behind bars -- 2 million convicts, not consumers; 2 million Americans who while paying for their crimes are not paying taxes, are not there for their children and are not raising families. Most of them are men and the majority of those men are minorities.

The issue of race still casts a shadow over our society. Despite the impressive progress we have made over the last 40 years to overcome this legacy of our troubled past, it is still with us."



"We must make sure that every child in America has access to quality health care. We owe them nothing less. It has to be done. It is our responsibility to do that for our children."



" We must understand, my friends, we must understand that there is a problem for us out there. We must understand the cynicism that exists in the black community, the kind of cynicism that is created when, for example, some in our party miss no opportunity to roundly and loudly condemn affirmative action that helped a few thousand black kids get an education, but you hardly hear a whimper when it's affirmative action for lobbyists who load our federal tax code with preferences for special interests. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. You can't make that case.
(APPLAUSE)

Overcoming the cynicism and mistrust that exists, and raising up that mantle of Lincoln, is about more -- it's much more about than just winning votes, it is about giving all minorities a competitive choice.

They deserve that choice. And if we give them that choice, it will be good for our party. But above all, it will be good for America, and we need to work to give them that choice."








Here is a ABC report on his 1996 speech

"Cheers and Boos in 1996
Powell?s opinions on racial and social issues diverge sharply from conservative orthodoxy, earning him criticism and praise for his centrist stance. He is a supporter of abortion rights and affirmative action, while he opposed President Clinton?s effort to lift the ban on gays in the military. He also disapproved of the move to impeach President Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky, saying in 1998 that it distracted the nation from ?serious issues.?
His words of support for affirmative action earned him boos at the 1996 Republican convention. But his call for Republicans to ?always be the party of inclusion? earned him a standing ovation. But still, the moderate Powell was viewed skeptically by some delegates, who tend to be more conservative than the Republican electorate as a whole.
At this year?s Republican national Convention in July, Powell won more standing ovations and helped George W. Bush in his efforts to put a ?new face? on the Republican party and reach out to African Americans in particular, who have traditionally favored the Democratic party.
He declared education was the key to America?s future, supported immigration, explained minorities? concerns and pushed again for affirmative action.
Powell and his wife Alma have a son, two daughters, and two grandsons. "



I will look for a transcript of the 1996 speech later.

This is still not the speech I was looking for, but still prove a point. There is another one where he denounces the NRA, and the tabacco industry.

"You all know that I believe in a woman?s right to choose and I strongly support affirmative action. And, I was invited here by my party to share my views with you because we are a big enough party ? and big enough people ? to disagree on individual issues and still work together for our common goal: restoring the American dream. I am a Republican because I believe in that dream, and I believe that we are the ones to keep it alive."

here is the rest of his 1996 speech
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/powell1996speech073100.html

One more thing. I bet the GOP begs Powell to run for office in 2008, but ony time will prove that.

Kenny,

I dont listen to Limbaugh, sorry I don't meet your stereotype. But I gladly agree that you are always right. And you make sure everbody knows it. LOL. Now stop wasting our time with your political diatribe and write us some good sex fiction.

Ben,

I liked your comment about a guy becoming conservative after he gets his first 60 million. Do you remember a Charles Barkley interview a few years back when the reporter asked why he would supported a Republican candidate who would only kow tow to the rich? Barkley responded "I am rich you stupid ass". Or something of that nature. It was classic.

Sanpper,

I don't know if Colin Powell will be on the ticket in 2008. But it would not surprise me to see Condoleeza Rice as GOP VP candidate in 2008. Race traitors !!

Batman, you don't have to listen to Limbaugh to parrot his arguments.

Snapper, that is an interesting strategic use of Powell. The Republicans have so many blatant racists in their ranks, they did need someone to pay some lip service to issues that concern black people, lest they lose nearly 100% of the black vote (other than wealthy blacks) to the Democrats.

Of course, so long as he is using his rhetoric and empty promises to suck votes in to the Republican Party, he's just leading lambs to the slaughter....

Kendricks...pass the California Bar Exam, then you can claim intellectual superiority over me. Not sure what your educational background or occupation is but your intelligence in narrowed in political science with some sociological inferences. You will never be intellectually superior to me unless you can prove it objectively. The California Bar Exam is one of the most difficult tests to pass in the world...pass a test with its equivilent, then talk shit.

Batster, nobody knows anything about Condoleeza Rice. She may have virtually no power, and yet she may be more powerful than Powell. While I like her, I don't think there is ever a chance she'll seek the nomination of the party. Besides, she wants to become the commissioner of the NFL, not President of the United States.

I don't know if Powell will be on the ticket either. He's turned it down before and stated he has no interest in becoming President.


Kendricks, both major parties have seeked Powell in the past. His views and character are far stronger than party affiliation. I don't think that either party would use their top must powerful position for window dressing. Window dressing is just used to make it look good, not run the show.

Blazers, that is a fucking joke. I personally know California lawyers who are dense as shit.
Indeed, the fact that you think that passing a sophistry exam somehow proves superior intelligence only further demonstrates how inherently out of touch you are with reality.

If you were able to hold your own in this discussion, you wouldn't need to "prove" how smart you are by outside reference. You are just a fucking cog in the system's machinery, and are just too fucking stupid to realize it.

Snapper, the public figures you are presented with are *all* window dressing, and are *all* owned by the machinery who allowed them their posts. The sooner you wake up to this reality, the sooner you will be able to truly understand politics in this country.

Blazers i saw an advertisment in a TJ Newspaper that offered pregnant women in TJ to have there birth in San Diego for 3600 fucks.
Do they need special paperwork or do you think this is just for women with passports ?
Please say this aint for everyone.I could be on the hook for like 6 kids here

And Kendricks I will always be nice to Bwazers as i may need his services soon and will defintely need a group discount.

My theory on the Kendricks is that you were kidnapped in Mexico and Ben missed you so much that he started posting under your name. I knew it wasnt you It just couldnt be. Now I see someone paid for your safe return !
This is the uncut Kendricks we all know and Wuv

Kendwicks are we going to war for oil ? i see so many different theories here and pretty good ones on the Oil theory as it makes sense.
I personally think we should be more afraid of North Korea.
Now for your comments of your arabs
I had a middle eastern roomate one time and the guy was the best he even defected from his family becuase they wanted him to be "high and mighty" and he just wanted to be a local college kid like everyone else. They kut him off from tons of money and I never seen anyone so happy to be broke. i never ran into someone from the middle eastern area that I disliked. We had lots of them in Boston. All very hard working people and they had the lowest rate for crime among all the minorities in Boston.

I had many friends of all races in Boston and they basiclly had the respect of other races with the exception of one race which i will not mention. They dispised this race of people for many reasons. i guess thats another discussion for another time.
i even had friends that were part of the arien nation. I did not agree with what they stood for but did not hate them. Am I a rasist to hate rasists? everyone has their reasons for hating one race or another. Does that make them a bad person ?

Well i gotta run
Sorry for the spelling misteaks

I gotcher bar exam right here, pal

I've actually heard that song played at Cheetah's once.

I passed an exam, and the state says I'm now a primary care physician. There were many who failed that I think would have made great practitioners. After twelve years now I 'm really staring to feel stupid.

I was happier building houses and being outside all day. Actually practicing medicine these days
blows.

State boards are designed to see how good a test taker you are and definitely do not test your real knowledge.

Oh yeah and I'm currently treating one of the owners of Cheetah's and Buff's Sports bar next door.

He also said that blows but he's making alottttttttttttttttttttttttttt of money.

Yeah, I got your Hershey high way, oh er I mean bar right here too ;) LOL

PS. As former president of the Kendricks fan clubnow that Kenny's back on the front lines,
I just wanted to say that I've got a fucking garage full of these Kendricks model number 69 secret decoder rings for sale. Buy now and save...

As founder and recovering former member of the Church of Kendricks/ WWKD movement (see ClubHombre.com: -Off-Topic-: -Religion: Church of Kendricks – What Would Kendricks Do? (WWKD)), I have some suggestions for where to stick those decoder rings.

I'm pretty sure that Kenny would pass the rigorous Unabomber Licensing Exam. Most of his statements here and in the past are Kaczynski rehash, not to be confused with original thought. The Unabomber Manifesto is highly entertaining in a paranoid-schizophrenic, flawed-analysis sort of way.

If you want an objective, standardized test of intelligence that measures various facets of your intelligence vs. Kendricks', start with the WAIS-III, or better yet, the WISC-III and Bayley's scales. I'm petty sure that being a lawyer or Trail Blazers fan won't adversely affect your score (directly, that is).

Innocent:
Some state board exams are better than others. The ones I passed really did test knowledge of the field. Any problem was not with the exams per se. Rather, the threshold cutoff for passing was too low, so too many ignorant slackers are able to hang out shingles. Also, the boards that I've seen have been designed to assess fundamental competency and knowledge, but not actual ability as a practitioner. I think you need to have some smarts and determination to pass these things, and you can't have the intellect of a potato.

"After twelve years now I 'm really staring to feel stupid." I think one of the most enjoyable things about accumulating knowledge and mastering a specialty area is getting to the point of not knowing, and realizing how little you know, and realizing that there are very sharp people who see things completely differently.

Ah well, now I'm gonna have a multicultural egalitarian experience by going to TJ and fucking some beautiful young brown Mexican women. Because I care.

Kendrick's, to barrow a quote from Bill O'Reilly "I'll let you have the last word... even though you're wrong."

What's the BS among certain liberal types that they have to mention specific minority successes by name? Are Powell, Rice, and Thomas the only examples of blacks who don't look like something out of an MTV video? And is this why they are so intensely disliked by the people who normally have instant orgasms when a person of "color" walks into the room?

This is the same racist crap you see on the media on Martin Luthur King day or virtually any other program which claims to show "real life" for black Americans. There are similar versions for "latino life" which always paint the subjects as hot blooded, proud (but dumb), and whose homes have colorful grafiti on the walls. And if the person is of Asian descent he or she needs to be an instant martial arts expert who speaks rapidly but with infinite wisdom.

The reality is that some people have a vested interest in keeping poor people poor, and minorities distinct from the mainstream culture. We rarely get to see the 90% of blacks, latinos, whatever, who have normal jobs, normal marriages with normal children, and who live a life that is pretty much the same as the rest of their neighbors. Heaven forbid there should be TV or movie characters who don't have some exagerated street accent and spend their time being jive and worldly without seeming to have a viable source of productive income.

Snapper, I loved your post above:

....."The unprivileged classes have no true representation in our government"

Gee, could that be because they don't vote?....

I wonder how the scam of automatically registering voters when they go into the DMV is working? Considering how many people here in California are driving with no license, no insurance, and no registration it would seem that the program needs to be changed. Maybe expanding it so that police officers could register voters at the same time that they are booking someone. Or have offices installed at the border so that when illegals are deported they could register a change of voting address.

Kendricks,

You are the best. I am SO glad you are back in action. In your absence I missed these threads. Speaking of parroting though, I hate to say that alot of your ideas are not exactly original.

Milkman,

As kendricks pointed out, I am too fucking stupid to really know anything about all of this. Hee hee. But I have a rhetorical question. If all this Irak stuff is about oil, why did we not just hang onto the Iraqi oil fields last time we had them? The same question for all the euro trash types who think it is just a landgrab. The US was holding something like 3/4 of Iraqi territory at the end of the first skirmish. If the US had imperialist designs, why did it not just hang onto it? What do you think Kenny? You were stuck there for a few months. Is it about oil, or something else?

Maybe its just a contest to see who has bigger balls. Saddam or George.

Batman, now you are just parroting my statement that your ideas are not original.
