Pushed to the forum.................

The Nation of Islam consider the Black race superior, the Nazi's, Arian Nation, et al believe the Caucasian race to be superior. The message is the same, just a different ruling class.

They both agree that the races are different.

And this is a basic opinion they share with the extreme right and all the left (in the US).

The truth is that no race can possibly be superior because there are no relevant differences between races.

Every month is White History Month!

Every university is a White University!

Every congressman is in the White... oh, wait...

Honestly, until we can destroy these stupid and self-serving stereotypes in government and daily life, there will be no progress. If only there was a live-and-let-live mentality that pervaded all these debates. I really do subscribe to the belief that a person should be judged by his or her actions, not by their race. Sorry if I sound like Julie Andrews, but that is how I try to interact with others. I work in a racially diverse environment (who doesn't!) and my time at work would be severely cut short if I spouted half the hate of a Louis Farrakhan or a Jesse Jackson (or, recently, a Ray Nagin). Or a David Duke.

Incidentally, why do you think the NAACP is so vocal about pointing out any unpercieved racial indiscretion? They are perpetuating their own jobs. They keep racial inequality alive, because if society finally overcame it and all just got along (thank you Rodney King), then the NAACP would be looking for work.

power is power. It isn't black or white, it is and always will be as Machiavelli spelled it out. Some are better at it than others, and some are so deluded that they don't even know what is in their best interest.

If you want to look at the real puppeteers, look at the people who provoke all this angst. The people cheering "black power" or "white power" are just marionettes who don't have the sense to see that they are being duped into serving someone else's best interest while they think they are serving their (race's) own.

you nailed it!

Ditto!

Thank you all for the input.
It's obvious that "White Power" is a figment of the imagination of a handful of stupid people, but when will the "Black Power" coalition be recognized for their duplicity?

The devisive plan they espouse serves only to maintain the status quo, the only ones prospering are the spokesmen themselves. The climate of white guilt, coupled with the mantle of victimhood empower none of the masses on either side.

As long as the race card is played, Jesse, Loius, and Al are the only benefactors.

Although, I loathe the radical black movement as much as the Nazi movement. You are missing a key element here. The black race in this country was at one point put into slavery.

Thus the black radical movements do have some momentum going for them. Does this make them right? No. But you can't put them on a same playing field with the Nazi's. The Nazi movement simply have no leg to stand on. The white man has never been oppressed in this country and only recently have they become a minority in some parts of the country. Furthermore Nazism has always stood for hate and bigotry.

Where in a general sense the civil rights movement has been a very legitimate cause over the years.

Now if there was ever a group that could demand justice it would be the native american indian. But luckily for them they are now getting some payback through the use of their exclusive casino networks. RED POWER!

No, they were sold into slavery  By their own race.  Please get it right.

Please get it right.

please get it right yourself. the first african slaves to be possessed by europeans were captured by europeans. coastal tribes were later coerced or paid to provide human captives. those who provided slaves to european slave merchants had no way of knowing the status of slaves in the new world; slaves in africa were more like european endentured servants who could purchase their freedom, weren't considered subhuman and could actually marry into their owners' families.
