[wish2fish]

Somebody has to tell me why it is okay for Chris Matthews to make this comment. Listen to at least the 60 second mark. Comment is question starts at 40 seconds.

There's an easy answer - he's on MSNBC and they support the Dems....

btw - after a bit of digging I found his email... I've already sent him one..... hardball@msnbc.com

He has white guilt

 

[Pseudomind]

This white mans guilt has pushed at was once racism to groups who now believe they are entitled, for what? If one was not racist in the past, our society is sure pushing folks to be that way. What happened to personal responsibility, work hard, and respect?

What a F'n idiot, now lets see one can only be termed profiled if they are not white.

So lets see there is one white in a group of mutli-ethnic groups and you are looking for a white person. Gee how to find the white person...no profiling now.

Puke and then puke some more.

I can't see this stuff at work, but I'm getting the overall picture. On a similar note, I completely agree with and support the concept of reparations (sp?). I believe that anyone who has been enslaved is owed restitution from any who have enslaved - period dot.

Chris is trying to cause conflict and increase his viewing numbers.

Ignore him, comments like those aren't worth wasting your effort and responding to.

Can you clarify your comments? My ancestors at one times were serfs, not much difference.

I find it ironic, that these self same slavery be-moaners, typically do or say very little about the actual slavery which goes on in the world today.

To include what is typically called white slavery, yet includes many different nationalities, Blacks ensalving blacks still in Africa, other nationalities Pakistanis, India, and many other places.

So where are my reparations, hell I have never had a slave or cared to have someone as a slave.

It seems to only matter if someone is available to pay. In this case the American Tax Payer.

Thanks for biting. You're right, in American history, all involved have passed - all even.

What is the point of making a comment like he (Matthews) made?? To stir things up? Probably. Imagine if Hannity would have made a similar comment about a celebrity and the race of people (other than white) that showed up to see that person. Social activists would have been calling for a protest march.

I'm all for recognizing past societal wrongs. Think about some of the things in the past that were done to American Indians, American Japanese (WWII), and African Americans (I grew up in the South and recall the separate drinking fountains). And, the list could go on and on. One cannot help but cringe at some of this. How about learning from past mistakes and looking forward as opposed to always trying to fix the past sins of our forefathers. In other words, learn from these lessons and try to "do better".

 

[Pseudomind]

All of history regarding the human race is about some body suppressing some one else even before there was anything called America or even Europe.

One example one may look at is the Bible itself, how many different races were enslaved, etc. in it.

LOL - the best thing to do about all this, is to go buy her book! That'll send the Dem's head's a spinning!
