Ever notice how no one is supposed to stereotype — unless said stereotypes are positive towards minorities and negative towards whites?

I’ve long ago realized that these diversity educationists just cannot have sense made of them. Engaging one in an actual debate is beyond farcical.

Thank God the Cherry Creek Schools did not carry their racist attitudes to an extreme such as the recent denoting of Obama as “articulate.” Now THAT would be totally inexcusable and worthy of outrage while saying that whites believe in “winning at all costs” is innocuous at worst.

sarcasm off…

CRACKER

To some degree, this is true: I am not particularly bothered by being called a cracker or ofay or casper, honky, etc. It makes me laugh out loud most of the time. That said, racism is not dependent on harm done to another, it’s still racist even if th…

How Orwellian. In the name of fighting racism, they are in fact racist.
In our modern world, it is basically impossible to be racist or rude when it comes to caucasian people.
After WWII, it was said that the next fascism would come from the left. I think we are very close to seeing that come true.

And I read Ward’s book and thought it was a great inspiring read. I didn’t know much about him. I left the book at my local diversity office after I finished with it. I am waiting to hears if there are any screams or barking.

Thanks LaShawn for shining the a light into PC rat holes in our left owned and operate public schools systems. I still find it hard to believe educated people can be this whacked, but we know they sure can, now that we have an alternate media in blogs like yours to report on it.

Of course stupidity like this would never get to parents through the MSM. One has to wonder if the religion that worships diversity as a diety, isn’t actually making race relations worse.

If you were to go back to the Seattle School District you would find that their diversity programs are alive and well, but have just retreated from public view. Institutions that implement these cannards? Should be required to post their diversity documents online. They should also allow market forces to take preference.

Re: macaroni and cheese. I’ve been in Memphis for seven years. Macaroni and cheese is a good southern side dish. You find it at all the best meat and three restaurants, along with okra, fried green tomatoes, corn pudding, turnip greens, and sweet potatoes. I have, with my own eyes, seen both black and white folks eat it — at the same restaurant, at the same time.

Re #12: Don’t tell Kraft that mac & cheese is a “white” dish–they’re running commercials with a black mom & her son.

Besides, isn’t mac & cheese a traditional side dish at Thanksgiving in many Southern homes? We never had it, but I have friends who did (and still do).

If I like mayo AND chipotle sauce both on my Alabama-style barbecue, what does that make me?

JohnD, they Bible and slavery is a complicated topic and I really don’t have the background to fully discuss it, but I would like to point out that God’s plan has never been that any person enslave another. The Old Testament gave guidelines to limit slavery (it was in effect long before the Bible was written, note that the writers of the Bible had at one time been slaves in Egypt). It is the first ancient document to give rights of any kind to slaves, including a mandatory “jubilee” where they would be periodically freed.

The New Testament did not sanction slavery, it did have guidelines for how slaves should live so that in thier slavery, the gospel could spread.

Finally, those people who used the Bible to justify enslaving a race were evil. It is one of the biggest abberations of American history and is to our shame that it ever happened. As Peter said in 2 Peter 3: 16, “His letters (meaning Paul) contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.”

So, what I am saying is that I believe people who used the Bible in the past to justify slavery are subject to judgement. And I shudder to think of what that judgement will be.
