Bothered by Racism
Sometimes comments we overhear can expose us to a view of the world or people that feels very troubling. For me, trying to understand what might be driving those troubling views offers some help, makes me feel less helpful. Recently I overheard some comments on race that left me feeling queasy - and I think other people have as well.Sonia Sotomayor In Context
By THOMAS SOWELL June 02, 2009 In Washington, the clearer a statement is, the more certain it is to be followed by a "clarification" when people realize what was said. The clearly racist comments made by Judge Sonia Sotomayor on the Berkeley campus in 2001 have forced the spinmasters to resort to their last-ditch excuse, that it was "taken out of context." If that line is used during Judge Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearings, someone should ask her to explain just what those words mean when taken in context.Obama's Mind Game

If I attend a black Church and tithe once a week, does that make me a racist? How about if I donate my time to an organization committed to ensuring young black men avoid prison; would that make me a racist? Probably not.‘Out of Context’: Part II
Public Post +++++++++++++++++ ‘Out of Context’: Part II By Thomas Sowell As the mainstream media circles the wagons around Judge Sonia Sotomayor, to protect her from the consequences of her own words and deeds, its main arguments are distractions from the issue at hand. A CNN reporter, for example, got all worked up because Rush Limbaugh had used the word "racist" to describe the judge's words. Since it has been repeated like a mantra that Judge Sotomayor's words have been "taken out of context," let us look at Rush Limbaugh in context.Military ignores its own regulations, permits white supremacists to join
((Sorry this is so long, and the language is rough...)) On a muggy Florida evening in 2008, I meet Iraq War veteran Forrest Fogarty in the Winghouse, a little bar-restaurant on the outskirts of Tampa, his favorite hangout. He told me on the phone I would recognize him by his skinhead. Sure enough, when I spot a white guy at a table by the door with a shaved head, white tank top and bulging muscles, I know it can only be him.I hate Stereotypes
Ok.... so another day, and another stereotype that I have to deal with.
