		<description>&quot;My contention is - there really is no such thing as â€œgenuineâ€ white guilt (emphasis on genuine). One has to have done something that warrants being guilty, to have it.

&quot;Slave owners donâ€™t have it - theyâ€™re all dead. Racists donâ€™t have it because - well, because theyâ€™re racists. Those that have atoned for those sins through repentance to Jesus Christ and their fellow man donâ€™t have it (anymore).

&quot;Those that â€œshouldâ€ have it, pathetic White liberals who originated the white guilt concept in the first place donâ€™t have it. They are the ones who care the least, about anyone (except there own pathetic self interests). And so, theyâ€™ve spent the past 40+ years spewing and promoting their con job on the black community. And with almost total success.

&quot;I see no hope for any large scale reconciliation between the races in my lifetime. I believe people like you, La Shawn, will make a great contribution within the black community. Unfortunately, just like any malignancy, we will always have white liberals in our midst.&quot;

(Dave in AZ)


That just about nails it. Very well put!

As much as people tire over talking about race, it&#039;s necessary because there are so many half-truths and untruths that continually go unchallenged.

There are petty, even predatory people from every group and exceptional people as well.

A Conservative, of any background has more in common with a Conservative of another background than he/she does with a Liberal of the same ethnic background as him/her-self.

Intuitively, we all know this.

Certainly Liberals do, as they consider Conservative blacks de facto whites and smear them at every opportunity.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m an admirer of John McWhorter. His book Winning the Race I believe is better than Authentically Black. If you haven&#039;t read it, check it out. Like you LaShawn, he engages in the necessary cultural critique regarding blacks in America.</description>

		<description>Miss Ladybug - Thanks for filling me in.  You&#039;re right:  Change the race of the speaker to white anglo&#039; and it&#039;s all over the news, widely (and justifiably) condemned.

I am not comforted by the knowledge that this man was ever a professor!  I wonder if his views were responsible for his no longer being a professor--assuming he isn&#039;t.</description>

I heard about the event you are talking about.  That event took place (I think) at Howard University.  The man saying those vile things used to be a professor somewhere.  I noted with dismay that the audience applauded him about he advocated exterminating white people...

Had a white person said such a thing about any other race, there would be widespread public outcry, and the institution that hosted the event would be bending over backwards to soothe the angered masses, but there has been nary a peep from the MSM or the university about this...</description>

		<description>LaShawn,

You are an awesome lady and you are doing a great service to many people, especially blacks. I too am tired of hearing about &quot;race&quot;. Don&#039;t stop your writing on this subject. There are a lot of folks that need to hear and read your point of view. My prayer is that more black will wake up and take personal responsibility for their lives.  I believe that you are doing God&#039;s work by informing people as you are. Continue to press on and know that you are in my prayers.</description>

		<description>About a week ago, another of my favorite bloggers ran a video from YouTube, calling it hate speech.  I watched and listened to a young black man making a speech to other young-looking black people.  This seemed to take place in an academic setting, with a small audience scattered among the seats.  I have no idea whether this speech was written for a speech class, whether it was meant to be taken seriously, or was poorly-written satire.

The speaker calmly, &quot;rationally&quot; listed a host of problems, all of which he laid on &quot;the white people.&quot;  His solution?  &quot;Kill all the white people.&quot;  Kill them all, and the problem goes away.  He said it more than once, so I know I heard him correctly.  There was no hint in his eyes, his face, or his tone of anything other than serious intent.

Being white, I found that most unsettling.  Being an American, I found it most unsettling.  Is there really such a movement on, or was this the paranoid rambling of an individual?  He sounded no different, to me, than Bin Laden, laying the blame for everything he doesn&#039;t like on (a) the Jews and (b) America.</description>

		<description>La Shawn,
I really do like the way you think and write!! Each of us are responsible for our actions and which direction we go in our lives. I guess I am lucky to have been taught that it&#039;s not a person of the same race that you can call a friend but by a person&#039;s words and actions.  Also, I am proud of my heritage, all of them, German, Dutch, English, Irish, Native, but what I am most proud of and what I call myself first is &quot;An American&quot;! As a country we have been so caught up in finding where we came from that we forget who we should be first and foremost and that is AMERICAN!!</description>

		<description>La Shawn,
Must be a slow Monday. Your articles on issues of race usually generate volumes of comments by now.

Your townhall article was an excellent piece (as usual). Those that commented concerning &quot;white guilt&quot; raised some interesting points.

My contention is - there really is no such thing as &quot;genuine&quot; white guilt (emphasis on genuine). One has to have done something that warrants being guilty, to have it.

Slave owners don&#039;t have it - they&#039;re all dead. Racists don&#039;t have it because - well, because they&#039;re racists. Those that have atoned for those sins through repentance to Jesus Christ and their fellow man don&#039;t have it (anymore).

Those that &quot;should&quot; have it, pathetic White liberals who originated the white guilt concept in the first place don&#039;t have it. They are the ones who care the least, about anyone (except there own pathetic self interests). And so, they&#039;ve spent the past 40+ years spewing and promoting their con job on the black community. And with almost total success.
I see no hope for any large scale reconciliation between the races in my lifetime. I believe people like you, La Shawn, will make a great contribution within the black community. Unfortunately, just like any malignancy, we will always have white liberals in our midst.

And concerning the totality of black liberals; with all the family, friends and relatives I have, I don&#039;t really know any that I would consider &quot;true&quot; liberals.</description>
