Now try liberal bloggers and see how honest or blindly ideological they are.

The numbers woudl be nearlky the same as they are now, just for different answers.

I would be very interested to know the demographics of the persons polled. I'd be willing to bet that they were people from the majority group and NOT the minority group and are therefore responding about racism from a position of racial privilege. And anyone who says they aren't privileged, especially white heterosexual men in the US, is in SERIOUS denial!

Fuck off and die, troll. I'm a white heterosexual man and I'm not “privileged” in any way. So take your victim card and shove it right next to where your head is.

Thanks MHB, I was trying to think of a nice way to say what you just said.

I'm sick to death of the victimhood play card. There are poor people in every race, creed and color. Some of it is due to circumstances that people can't control, however the majority of it is because they don't try and make a success of their lives.

I'm sick to death of the victimhood card. There are poor people of every race, color or creed. Some of it is beyond their control, however I suspect that the majority want to blame everyone else for their short comings and they just don't try hard enough to make a success of their lives.

Charles Johnson, go f**k yourself! YOU are the most dishonest and disingenuous jackass on the planet. You have zero credibility as a blogger and a pariah in the blogosphere. You are not above every other bloggers, right and left. You'll get your comeuppance so richly deserved, Chuckyboy. There's a special place in Hell for the dishonest and disingenuous jackasses like you, right next to the realm of hypocrites, liars, traitors, and haters.

Affirmative action and racial preferences are counterproductive to America. Progressive liberals are the real racists, not Republicans and conservatives.

How many times have you been pulled over in your car, not for breaking any law, but because of your skin color?

How many times have retail merchants followed you around the store to make sure you're not stealing anything?

How many times have you tried to rent an apartment but have been denied for no clear reason, even though you met all of the requirements?

How many times have you been denied a loan despite having good credit and plenty of collateral and/or income?

Do you worry about being shot by police in the street at night because you “match the profile” or “resemble the suspect” despite having done nothing wrong?

When in school, did teachers talk down to you and assume a level of stupidity, from day one, in ways they did not with students who looked different?

What is the racial make up of the bloggers questioned, venturing a guess I would bet it was over 95% white and 90% male.

You can't do this with liberal bloggers, for the same reason you can't have an honest debate, discusion, or anything else with the Democrat party of today. The entire Democrat party is corrupt. I'm sure theres plenty of corupt Republicans, Independents(whatever that is), and libretarians, but not every single one. 100% of the Democrat party and probably about 85% or more of MSM are corrupt

A quick look showed 14 obvious female bloggers. Which means that, by your math, 14/63 is 10%. Must be some new liberal math.

Give me a break this shit doesn't happen with the regularity that you seem to insist that it does. Have I personally been targeted the answer is no, because I mind my own business and stay away from places where I might be.

Both of my brothers have been targeted, because they were hanging out at the wrong places and at certain times involved in activity that they shouldn't have been. Regardless they were stopped when they weren't doing anything wrong, they were there at the wrong time. Granted my brothers were not exactly angels at the time, but the fact remains that there were times that they were harassed.

And yes I've had liberal/progressive teachers talk down to me in a condescending way because I didn't agree with what they were teaching. So whats your point? It happens all the time.

I will revise one of my earlier statements at the top of this post. Back in the early to mid '80's I went to work for this company that was located downtown Chicago. 90 percent of the department was black, and the most of them refused to work over time because of family or whatever excuses that they could dream up. I started to pull ahead of them because I didn't have family obligations, was single so I could pull whatever overtime was deemed necessary. My supervisor was called unthinkable names as I was through no fault of our own. The names honkey and cracker come to mind. Boy did I have an eye opening experience and I was a youngster of 26 when I left that company, because I was tired of the reverse discrimination. I was never raised that way, I was never raised to denigrate other people.

So save your pitty party for the minorities. It is everywhere, not only for them but for the rest of us as well.

Wintery Knight here. I am male and a visible minority.

“How many times have you tried to rent an apartment but have been denied for no clear reason, even though you met all of the requirements?

How many times have you been denied a loan despite having good credit and plenty of collateral and/or income?”

Both of these actions are illegal. How many times have you reported these company's and/or institutions for breaking the law? None, you f'n moby.

<<How many times have you been pulled over in your car, not for breaking any law, but because of your skin color?

Not once. And I don't believe you have either.

<<How many times have retail merchants followed you around the store to make sure you're not stealing anything?

When I was young, often. They had good cause.

<<How many times have you tried to rent an apartment but have been denied for no clear reason, even though you met all of the requirements?

Not once, and I don't think you have either. There are other factors that come into play with this kind of transaction, such as attitude. As a landlord, I don't want to do business with someone that otherwise qualifies, but cops an attitude towards me or that shows disrespect for my property and the property of the other residents.

<<How many times have you been denied a loan despite having good credit and plenty of collateral and/or income?

Not once. And I don't think you have either. I have been offered loans that I knew that I could not afford, thanks to Frank and Dodd. I had the good sense to turn them down. Nobody put a gun to my head and made me take a bad deal.

<<Do you worry about being shot by police in the street at night because you “match the profile” or “resemble the suspect” despite having done nothing wrong?

I have been pulled over AND even stopped on the street for resembling a suspect. In such a situation, you keep your cool and mind your manners. Being a cop is a tough job. Don't aggravate them. They are human and make mistakes, and the have guns. Don't be a dick with cops.

As far as being singled out for race alone, no. And I don't think you have either.

<<When in school, did teachers talk down to you and assume a level of stupidity, from day one, in ways they did not with students who looked different?

Yes, but race was not a factor. My being disrespectful of the teachers and my fellow students had everything to do with it. If you had problems with your teachers, it was probably because you were being an immature dick.

your joking, right

do you think it might be because more crime is committed by by black males

Mr Hawkins:

I am a “Black Conservative Independent”.
While I agree with the claim that, more than ever, the “Progressives who are Democrats who are Black” make use of “racism chasing” for political purposes I believe that your survey is a bit dismissive of actual instances of race based animus. You get no argument from me that the NAACP, having joined the “Leadership Council On Civil Rights”, enjoying company with so many other leftist groups – has lost their way. They are now merely the “ground forces for the Democratic Party” into the Black community.

If you watch various White liberals on MSNBC and HuffPo they are now laughing at you all (White Conservatives) for trying to play the VICTIM card, charging that Whites are now victims of racism by the government.
Not that MSNBC has any credibility but this shows how your strategy is not working.

While you and I might share the same basic principles on government (local rather than a powerful national, oppressive one) it would come as no surprise if you were to learn that our objectives differ slightly.

No poll can ever fully capture the real world gradations on the complex subject of the balance of race and power in a country.

I do not want anything from you in the way of redistributed tax dollars or a more powerful central government that merely abstracts an individual from the consequences of his actions.

What I do ask for is an increase in civil dialogue. The left has their tactics and their strongest source of power is their power to INDICT people, putting them on the defensive.

There are many African-Americans who do not agree with the Progressive-Fundamentalists that dominate our political discourse. However – these same people say “just when I am ready to attack the Democrats for their failure……….some White Conservative comes along and reminds me that I need to watch the right flank as well”. For ME – I am not that easily distracted and can prioritize one threat over another, being more immune to “racism chasing”.

At the same time “White Conservatives” need to do a better job in communicating the fact that the “White Left” and their Black Leftist Partners are looking for any verbal slip up to render the grand indictment, proving their stereotype true.

The solution is for you all to communicate your views and AVOID getting into the fray which ultimately has no value (ie: “Why did Ms Obama wear that dress when she visited the Gulf Coast”. I am one of those 1.38% of Blacks that watch Fox News regularly and who doesn't hate Glenn Beck. At the same time his comedic/sarcastic antics get more play on “Media Matters” than does the 85% hard hitting substantive content that he puts on his chalk board).

At this point, after all the communication and information freely available and the patently obvious attempts at manipulation by the left, the burden is all on Blacks. There's only so much reaching out and teaching and explaining anyone can do; eventually its up to people to figure things out for themselves, stop falling for lies, and stop letting people pull the wool over their eyes while appealing to emotion and ethnic background (or even superiority) to Blacks.

You have to wake up for yourself, some day.

Your name is half right.

Hey bud, how many times have you been passed over for a job or promotion because of your skin color? How many times were you turned down at a school or for a government contract because of your skin color? How many times were you presumed racist because of your skin color? How many times did you watch someone else get a passing grade because they were a minority?

We can do this all day. Nobody is arguing that racism doesn't exist, only that to whatever extent it is institutionalized it is against whites and that equality of opportunity – the dream of Martin Luther King jr and the other warriors for civil rights – has long been achieved.

“What I do ask for is an increase in civil dialogue. The left has their tactics and their strongest source of power is their power to INDICT people, putting them on the defensive.”

Sir, no offense but you guys might want to take a dose of your own medicine on this aspect.

I for one am tired of being called a racist about everything just because I don't agree with Obama, the NAACP, the black congressional Caucasus, ect, ect, ect…

I try really really hard to understand the minorities plight in this country. As time goes on I find that I have less and less sympathy on this aspect because of all of the name calling on your side.

You guys complain about how poor some of you were raised. Guess what you don't have that market cornered. There are plenty of the rest of us that grew up without a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of.

It's gotten to the point that if you rattle a big dogs cage long enough we will fight back. We've sucked it up for over 40 years and enough is enough. As CT has stated we've achieved racial equality and the word racism has no meaning anymore, because it is shouted from the roof tops about things that don't amount to a hill of beans.

So I would suggest that you take your own advice about civility.
