		<description>&quot; Don’t you think it’s a tad risky to use the word “cracker” when addressing an Obama supporter in this heightened PC times of renewed racism??&quot;

Not if you&#039;re Bob Beckel... amazing.

		<description>@uDder-k

Thanks for that link.

I am under the impression that right after the Civil War there were a lot of talented Blacks, some of whom even held political office, and one who almost became Vice-President.  What ever happened to them?  Were the Dems really that effective in stamping out any vestige of a rise in Black fortunes so effectively from the start - you know, like Islam has been really effective at stamping out qualities necessary for social, intellectual, scientific, artistic, etc., advancement?  Just wondering.</description>

		<description>@suek

Booker T. was exactly the fellow I thought of when I heard that nonsense.  Maybe he&#039;s the exception that proves the rule? 

But, remember, different is NOT deficient, ....unless, of course, you don&#039;t mind the lack of any of the infrastructure that&#039;s built, maintained and kept organized by those who are more inclined to abstract thought (&quot;left-brainers&quot;).  I mean, what would a hot summer evening be without boom-boxes blaring from every &quot;right-brainer&#039;s&quot; shoulder?

Sheesh.  I would have thought that would be a &quot;no-brainer!&quot;</description>

		<description>An online copy of, Up From Slavery: An Autobiography Booker T. Washington, can be found here:
 http://docsouth.unc.edu/fpn/washington/washing.html

It&#039;s part of a digital publishing effort at UNC-CH documenting the American South. I haven&#039;t finished reading the whole thing yet but it has been fascinating to read so far.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;Are we to believe that all blacks are right-brained? Oral and aural?&gt;&gt;

Same old same old.  &quot;It&#039;s not your fault&quot; liberal garbage.

So how did Booker T.Washington succeed?  He was a lot closer to Africa than these guys...what about _his_ brain????</description>

		<description>So Sky55110, you demand we bow to Obama since he will be &quot;YOUR next (P)resident too&quot; but never would extend the same to a republican, or a conservative President?

Not surprising of from the left.

Sorry, my family ran Underground RailRoads, never owned slaves, died to liberate them, and thus, owes nothing (but in a just world should be owed something).  I am not going to be guilted by the left into ignoring the racism of Wright nor the many disturbing associations Obama has.

As much as I despise McCain (especially after his idiotic actions this past week), he is FAR better than the coming race war, economic ruin, and military losses (meaning we face more terror attacks within the US and Europe) the left is bringing.</description>

		<description>It was far from the same old bullsh-t... and yes “Different not deficient”.... to add the rest of what you spewed is unnecessary. 

Change... yes... get ready right wingers... Obama will be YOUR next president too!!!</description>

		<description>Skye55110, You&#039;re still around? Yes, it was plain and straight forward and broadcast in it&#039;s entirety so it wouldn&#039;t be &quot;taken out of context&quot;. I&#039;m sure there will be one hour loops of it playing for a few days. First, I would like to start with a quote because I think it is quite appropriate:

&quot;There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don&#039;t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.&quot;   - Booker T. Washington

How fitting that Wright chose to give his speech at an NAACP fundraiser. Dreadnaught, I was taken by the same thing you touched on above. Are we to believe that all blacks are right-brained? Oral and aural? That might explain why people believe the bile he spews. I suspect that he is basing his spew off of Learner-Centered Psychology. http://www.cdl.org/resource-library/articles/learner_centered.php I just can&#039;t help but wonder why it is there are still so many problems in the black community with children learning. You go into prominently black areas, and they have black students and black teachers and yet still we have these problems. It couldn&#039;t be something else, say, their home life, leaders and environment could it?! Detroit has suffered with years of fine black leadership. Currently Kwame and Coleman Young before him. It boggles me to understand why both of my nephews, who were born in Japan and have grown up in Detroit, can say Jingle Bells without replacing the &quot;L&#039;s&quot; with &quot;R&#039;s&quot;. The same kids who are honor roll students and working on Eagle Scout badges. (I guess it is because they are of asian descent and we all know they are inherently smarter). But many blacks can yet to say &quot;ask&quot; correctly. Funny, my parents grew up the children of immigrants, they spoke two languages yet managed to succeed. (It must have been because they were white). They did this without the schools adjusting to their &quot;differences&quot; and making excuses for them. It was instilled in them that there are two things to succeed in America. Learn the language and get an education.

Wright proceeds to mock and joke dialects as opposed to language. I&#039;m sure the examples of Kennedy and the Irish will go over big with the rest of the country but it was good for a laugh. Maybe we should be teaching Gullah in the public school systems. 

What was his phrase, &quot;Different not deficient&quot;. On it&#039;s face, that is true. But, different can be deficient as well. 

Change? No, same old bullsh*t.</description>

		<description>Oh yeah, Sky, great speech.  That bit about our methods of schooling are simply wrong for blacks, and that we need to come up with a way to teach law, chemistry, and quantum physics to them in a way acceptable to their &quot;right-side-dominated brains&quot;, like mixing the subject in with Hip-hop lyrics or something.

Sorry, but Wright just dug himself an even deeper hole by saying that blacks are incapable of learning such subjects the way they have been taught for centuries.  So much for equality!  The irony was that he gave this speech at the NAACP (and got a rousing ovation for it) while sending blacks back to the back of the bus.

I watch his whole speech, wanting to be fair to the man.  We have been told that he is not so radical, that his words were taken out of context.  Well, I saw the whole context, and Wright is very much a radical leftist - and indeed he showed that by barely saying anything about the old issues (9/11, Iraq, AIDS etc), but on an entirely new list of crazy ideas.

I will say one thing.  He is an ASTONISHINGLY good speaker, and I can understand how so many people seem mesmirized by him.  But being a good speaker is not always a good thing.  Hitler was a great orator as well.</description>
