Jan #37,

Yes. Michelle Malkin outlined in her book that the 50% or so that were interned were not Japanese.

Hugs…

But, but, but Jan, we’re a goal-based society and truth is not relevant. In order to be color-blind, we have to acknowledge and promote race as a factor. [/sarcasm]

Welcome back.

La Shawn, since you’ve indirectly brought up Wesley Cook (AKA Mumia), if folks are sick of giving money to Ben and Jerry’s only to see it find it’s way into causes like freeing cop killing thugs, check out Star Spangled Ice Cream.
They are based out of Baltimore, and have in store sales in MD and VA. You (LB) ought to be able to get some without trouble.
They give a portion of their profits to the boys and girls of our armed forces, and are every bit as good as B&Js.
Google the name to get their site, and you can see their flavors (like Iraqi Road and I hate the French Vanila) and have pints overnighted to the lower 48.

Arnold Kramer, professor of history at Texas A&M, wrote a phenomenally documented book called Undue Process: The Untold Story of America’s German Alien Internees. About half of the internees during WW 11 were white. There were Italian-Americans(3,278), and German-Americans (10,905). In fact, the US actually began to intern German and Italian merchant seaman while the US was still officially neutral, which is a breach of international law. Yet, it is widely taught in the US that Japanese internment was racially motivated, a notion which is used so often to lend creedence to flawed theories. When are we going to learn that truth should be the goal of education, not political ideology? When will we learn that truth is ultimately what will liberate us from hatred? And, when will liberals (not all) who are so busy indulging in their arrogant pasttime as ‘the great architects of a better, more tolerant society’ realize that they are crucifying us collectively on the altar of their bad ideas?

Incidentally, to say that Michelle Malkin has to cut her credentials as a critic of this, that, and the other, before she is ‘allowed’ to express her views on an issue, as some have intimated, is a flawed concept. Further, race or gender does not bestow ownership on an issue. As a journalist, Malkin has paid her dues through research, incisive writing, and cutting edge commentary. That’s what qualifies her.

And, yes, I’m back, if you’ll have me. Smiles…..

I keep coming here because I choose to. I recognize that I made some untoward comments a couple of weeks ago and I make no excuses for my actions, only apologies.

Irreverent reverends? I didn’t read the post, but what about DCs own Willie Wilson? “My son can’t get a date for the prom because there’s too many lesbians” and “lesbians are taking over DC”.

Why did you keep coming back here, Chuck? – Admin

LB…yes, I found that out. This is what amazes me about people who want ‘tolerance’, they really want other folks to be tolerant, but they want to retain the right to not be tolerant themselves.

See the problem with white liberalism, is the fact that at least at the elite level in politics, they have no real interest in the black american apart from the voting block they represent (I suppose you could make the case that this goes on in both parties). I know this by the lack of any real substantive issues relating to the black American on any national agenda plate.

Then you go to a place like democratic underground, which seems to be a having for abortionist, and homosexuals, and state a definitive position based upon the black experience and you get banned. Hummm…the thing about the Republicans (note I didn’t say conservatives) is at least they have a premise for their argumentation even though the premise is often short sighted and myopic…so there is room for debate…liberals have no clue as to what they really believe or stand for…

Now Dell, what do white liberals care about dead black people, babies or otherwise, unless they’re fully-grown cop-killing, white-people-hating murderers facing death row and college speaking engagements?

Dell Gines — Wed, 03 Aug 2005 20:23:20 +0000

Since we are on the topic of white liberals…I got banned from democratic undergound about 3 or 4 times…you know why? For challenging them on issues of blackness, and telling them that abortion is killing black children at an alarming rate…

Pompous…

Max wrote, “Do you believe black people commit more crimes and therefore should be profiled? ”

That isn’t the relevant question. The relevant question would be, “Should the cops be hamstrung or allowed to look at the data and then do their job?”

For instance, if between the years 1998 and 2005 there were 10 instances of terrorism or raping and each of the 10 instances of terror or raping the PROFESSIONALS were able to piece together a portrait or “profile” of the perpetrators, should the PROFESSIONALS be hamstrung or can they create the search criteria they think they should be looking for? I mean why be looking at white women in the neighborhood if each of the 10 victims were able to give a portrait that looked like a [insert specific race here] man between the ages of [insert age here] with a height of [insert height here]. Same thing with the professionals doing their job with respect to terrorism.

It makes absolutely NO SENSE to waste the precious security resources we have to satisfy liberals like yourself by almost guranteeing that we aren’t being smart in our search efforts.

I’d be honored to be called an Uncle Tom. His Christlike meekness, forebearance and humility is certianly worth emulating. Unfortunately, I’ve got a hot temper, so I’ve got a ways to go yet on that front. Oh well…PBPGINFWMY

A couple of comments:

1. As to where the big-name libs are, I can only repeat my brother’s theory about libs and how they think. There are two kinds of ‘truths’, macro and micro. For the libs, ‘macro’ truth is that they CARE about people and are CONCERNED about them, and we need to give them our money and obedience so they can carry on with their good work. Micro truths like “it’s wrong to defraud a charity” or “you shouldn’t do things like that with an intern” carry no weight when compared to the macro truth.

2. As far as odd controversy about Michelle Malkin, this seems to be par for the course for a conservative minority. Apparently, because she didn’t wax hysterical over the internment of Japanese in World War II, she has no right to be indignant because (apparently) Air America has defrauded a minority charity.
