I knew not to use the "N" word as a 5-year old. In addition to getting booted off the team, he should have been booted out of school. What is he doing there anyway? Give him a banjo and rocking chair, so he can lead his UT in playing their new school fight song, "Dueling Banjos"...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044082373981127068.post-36801360305489644702008-12-04T11:04:00.000-05:002008-12-04T11:04:00.000-05:00Indeed I am not a DUMMY.<BR/><BR/>I was wise enough to vote and smart enough to make the right vote.<BR/><BR/>"I think there is virtue to the point that the american democratic/political system works best when it is working of, by, and for the people OF AMERICA, as opposed to subdivided groups."<BR/><BR/>I agree, and I think the new President will do a far better job than his redneck predecessor who I think it's fair to say did a lot of work for subdivided groups. http://www.hermes-press.com/BushSaud.htm<BR/><BR/>In effect, it seems to me that you're saying Americans, whatever their birthplace, should be free to be proud of their origins, as long as they do it quietly at home and it doesn't interfere in any way with the hard-working, God-fearing American Way.<BR/><BR/>I don't agree with that, but I also don't agree with the blatant segregation of minorities in cities.

Now, I'm not saying he was right, or wrong, or that people shouldn't take pride in where they come from; however, I think there is virtue to the point that the american democratic/political system works best when it is working of, by, and for the people OF AMERICA, as opposed to subdivided groups.

When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts "native" before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else. <BR/><BR/>The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else. <BR/><BR/>For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish-American, or an English-American, is to be a traitor to American institutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the foreign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic."Theodore Rooseveltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044082373981127068.post-72305058615075022392008-12-02T22:43:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:43:00.000-05:00African American...?<BR/><BR/>How many generations of your family were born in America?<BR/><BR/>It's my belief that most African Americans are simply just Americans.<BR/><BR/>How can you expect the world to see each other as equals when we all go out of our way to single our selves out as different?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044082373981127068.post-46352093778242657042008-12-02T22:36:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:36:00.000-05:00being a genuine 'nice guy' doesn't stop someone from (openly or not) disliking someone because of their race, creed or colour. People who STILL feel like that in this day and age are worthless idiots. Worse even, than those who kill in the name of whatever religion.<BR/><BR/> Case in point: if the people who feel sore about having a black president bothered to be a little less worthless and get off their hate-filled asses to vote, they wouldn't be trolling the web complaining that their president is black. Worthless idiots.<BR/><BR/> The only thing that bothers me about the man is the fact that every time I heard about him on the news the first few sentences invariably included the phrase "first black president" - personally I'm more concerned that he's capable of doing the job, and deserves the position on that merit alone - the colour of his skin should be the last thing on peoples minds.

He don't have to appologize to anyone. If the blacks can use the word, anyone can. If we're all "equal" then what's the big deal? The problem with them and all the other "minorities" is they have no interest in being equal, they want to be superior. Neither I, nor you owe anyone anything; no applogies, no reperations, nothing. The infectious disease that is Liberalism has emasculated us as a collective society.

Amazing. <BR/>Listen, many of us are truly on the right track. Who Obama is as a man and not his ethnic origin or race is the only relevance to what he will do for this country. <BR/>Whatever philosophy this young man Buck subscribes to, quite frankly is of no consequence to anyone else but Buck. If we spent half of our time paying attention to our own thoughts and actions and the other part of the time leaving everyone else's thoughts and actions alone. :CAVEAT unless actions are lawless. <BR/>We would ultimately find that the small #^%$ does not even matter. <BR/><BR/>I personally wish Buck well. I am glad he was honest, at least I now know him to be himself and true to his own belief system and convictions, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It is those who hide behind pretenses, and fake smiles that are much more dangerous to the human race than Buck. <BR/>Now here is the real surprise, I am a Black Woman with Black sons, who will grow to be Black men, and I am sure they will experience the word N#$%@ at some point in thier respective lives, Of Course, but do I teach them to be defensive , NO! They have learned at an early age it is not what you are called it is what you answer to that counts..

However, you feel about Obama, race relations will not be improved by his being elected President. The media is going to put the historical siginificance of this event in the faces of the American people 24/7 and that is going to incite a certain segment of our population. Regardless of what you think about America it is still segregted to some degree. For example, I am a very active white male in business, schools, church, kids events, etc. I know many people but do not know very many people at all who I associate with on a regular basis who voted for Barrack Obama, and I will bet that no matter who you voted for most of us would say the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044082373981127068.post-18509751351873221942008-11-09T07:57:00.000-05:002008-11-09T07:57:00.000-05:00Because when Blacks use it its in terms of endearment. When Whites use it its in terms of hatred. Black people have always been known to use negative words used against them in history in a positive way. Whether its right or wrong is another story. Whites (including myself) do not have the right to use that term because of the history it carries in terms of how Whites use it. We can't sit here and wonder why one can use it and another can't when we know the history behind it. To me its rhetorical. And there is no justifying what that young man said.
