For some years racism seem to be waning, but in the last year or so it is back and with a vengeance. Remember Imus and his totally unprofessional comment? How about the Jena 6? How about the nooses showing up in Louisiana and NewYork? How about the Louisiana school bus driver that made black children sit in the back of the bus? None of this sounds like the racism of the past is going away anytime soon.

Recently, FOX’s Bill O’Reilly made a few bone head comments about he was surprised that black people could run a successful restaurant and that he was surprised that they could be well dressed. He still does not realize that his comment was racist, or at least could be perceived as racist. A lot of attention has been paid to his comments and as such his TV ratings have increased. Why?

The American, no matter how they deny it, are racist. Look at the immigration debate. Paint it anyway you want, it is still trying to eliminate the people of color. The more that people deny the fact the more racist they appear.

To answer the original question, they have gone nowhere. They are here, but more covert than in the past.

I have found another anal statement that I will put into the running for the “ASSIE” award that I will give at the end of the year. This one is yet another one from the lips of Pres. Bush.

“Chaos would embolden not only the extremists and radicals who would like to do us harm, but it would also embolden Iran. What you don’t want is to have a nuclear arms race taking place in the Middle East.”

He still says that if we leave Iraq it will embolden Iran. You have to love this guy, he can say the dumbest things and mean them. I would say that the invasion has done more to embolden Iran than leaving would. I am not alone in this belief.

Your thoughts?
