The victims of racism?
..your not a victim superbafdbrutha your a user of others victimization. Whether that be in general or within your own families history...I don't care which.

You see the color of a persons skin first then you trouble yourself with the whys and what.
You keep racism alive and proabably wouldn't know what to do with yourself if you didn't have it to rely on.

Go ahead call me a racist..you call everyone a racist as it is

Now correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you are the one that has been trying to label me as the racist. Get your (*)(*)(*)(*) correct partner.

Peace.

Well I feel that the whole b.e.t thing and black colleges really get to some of you. I don't understand how you got started on it but I am going to say this. WEN exist every time you turn on the television. From CNN to Fox news. CMT as well as other outlet the promote white. Nothing is wrong with it. If you want a WET get one, be being a black man doesn't bother or get next to me. The truth is i thin it already exist just like tons of other African Americans. But if you want to Title it do so. Nobody on my side cares if you have a network or Miss White America or all white colleges. Truth is whites attend black colleges so what on a minority scholarship So what?

I see that all to often with white people. i do not support B.E.T because it doesn't support black people Struggling up and coming or successful. It only support the successful black people. It's an alternative just like black news media that I support because it discuss the problems and give information that no one else want to give. Without it you can easily argue that Blacks are criminal and never victims. Let Foxnes tell it because they only show the bad in black and not the good. So what??? yeah them mentality of segregation still exist because color boundaries still exist. The only whites I know that black run thing insult them are the ones that racist. So what blacks have there own media outlet

Latins do too

The people lobbying to have this historic plaque removed are the same people lobbying to ban Huckleberry Finn from school libraries and curriculum. Their zealousness clouds and overrules their thinking.

Segregation is a historic fact and actually seeing it, through the lens of this 1945 plaque, reminds us of its existence in a past age. I also recall seeing a "Colored" water fountain sign in 1960 downtown Houston. I was only 6 years old, and remember feeling confused and asking my dad about the sign. My dad felt embarrassed by the sign.

Today, children seeing this 1945 plaque have the opportunity of asking their parents about it, and parents now have the opportunity of explaining what segregation was all about through a real and tangible means. It would be a great mistake removing this historic plaque.

Off the top of my head, I can name at least a half dozen organizations that cater to women. And two that I can think of are conservative in nature: Concerned Women for America and the Society of Women Engineers. These groups don't focus so much on race, but they do focus on gender. Are they segregationists? Maybe in JP5's world they are. But to most of us, these are just groups, where people who share some physical trait (ovaries), get together to share ideas and concepts.

I don't think there ever will be a truly color/gender blind society (in the U.S.), and I'm not so certain that should even be a goal. But I do think it should be a goal for people to be able to freely associate with those that they like, or with whom they share similar values and ideals, no matter their race, religion or gender.

Have you all met my friends? Here's Saul... he's my Jewish friend. And Mandy, she's my Catholic female friend. She's married to Raul, my Mexican friend. Dan is my Black friend. And William, well, he's my gay friend.

I've known people who thought in those terms, though not so obviously. And they were very sad people indeed. Unless you belong to a group that promotes hate or exclusive beliefs, why does it matter if those of like culture occasionally do their thing as a group?

But going back to this idiotic plaque... put it in a museum where it belongs.

People tend to make simple things harder than they need to be. Give me a screwdriver and I'll show you just how simple it is. Good grief!

Uncle, grandfather.... some relative that you mentioned being in some branch of the KKK. The one who joined while in the Dallas PD.

So your dad was embarrassed by the sign? OK. How did he feel about this family relation who was in the Klan? I bet he sure could have explained that sign in a Mississippi minute.

I'm not aware that anyone wants to destroy the sign. But ya see, that's what museums are for: a place for historical items, kept in the intended context.

Since your comparison is a poor one. The reason you saw few black faces is because generally speaking blacks have a lesser interest in country music. Not because they are excluded. FYI, there are such thing as black country stars. Charlie Pride got awards at a time when things were less color blind. It's the country music awards, not the Caucasian Awards. There is a significant difference between JP's example and yours.

Increased Refinery Capacity R's: 97% YES. D's: 96% NO

SUMMARY: 91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of America’s own oil and gas. 86% of House Democrats have historically voted against.

Ever hear the name Charley Pride? Look it up.

Besides, it's not named "White Awards Show" and it IS inclusive. Black artists are welcome to participate in Country mustic. It's not the fault of the country music industry that blacks don't particularly like it and gravitate towards rock, R&B or rap rather than country music. However, it's not even possible that at the Black Awards show for any award to go to any whites, right???

So, you still believe in promoting segregation, eh?
