An even playing field? Racism and the Ballot box
Today I heard George “The man who stole Pres. Carter’s re-election game book” Will today on a TV show making a weird remark regarding people mourning the death of Michael Jackson all the while being mindful of remarks by Sen. Peter King also regarding Michael Jackson and then reading this enclosed “took a lot of work” diary by britobserver.
I often wonder what we Blacks in particular can do when we hear racist remarks and witness racist actions. Unless we can bring economic pressures to bare as does the Jewish communities, in my opinion the only sure-fire instrument we have is the ballot box. What a sad realization! One could wonder if ballot boxes are our only metaphorical lemons.
With absolutely no optimism whatsoever I believe the resolution of the Zionist and Arab conflict in Africa, where Israel is located, would go a long ways world-wide and I, in no ways consider myself naïve! I just wonder why it is all Jews appear to be afraid of the Zionist. How is that possible? Are Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Abraham Foxman and Rupert Murdock Zionist? We have a lot to learn about the cultural practices and education of the Zionist. I am sure since it may be common knowledge and since I am Black it may already be in a book somewhere. (Smile)
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I have noticed on many occasions it is the background speaker who sets the tone of the “news” segment. They have a lot of power hiding behind the curtain, so to speak.
P.P.S. Since Pres. Netanyahu called Rahm Emanuel and David Axel rod “self hating Jews” I guess they are not Zionist.
The end of racism in America?

Excerpt:
Well we have seen Gun sales on the increase, in no little part fuelled by both Glen Beck and the NRA with false stories on gun rights being removed, a resurgence of right wing militia groups and an uptick of traffic on sites such as Stormfront, an increase in racial attacks as well as an increased level of racial slurs on right wing websites such as Free Republic which was pretty bad after just the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court but has now reached the event horizon with the racist attacks on Malia Obama as Kos diarists The Halfrican and CatM have brilliantly been monitoring.
Unfortunately it's about to get worse. Monday morning see the start of the hearings on Judge
And
Sonia Sotomayor (who Mike Huckabee called "Maria". Seen one, seen 'em all eh, mike?) and with the likes of Pat Buchanan (who never met a privileged old white male's viewpoint he didn't like to keep as the status quo) and Tom Tancredo (a man who is the child of immigrants himself, but is so dense to that fact that he actually deflects light) leading the charge in the media and led in the Senate by the Civil Rights hating reject for the Federal Bench Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and the singular walking brain trust that is Sen. Jim Inhofe (R- Moran) things have the combusible elements included to get ugly. This was before the republicans decided that New Haven firefighter Frank Ricci should come in as their rookie draft pick choice to help sift through the last two decades of Judge Sotomayor's legal decisions and give his considerable legal opinions on them.
