Race does NOT need to be Discussed


Democrats love the 'race' folly.

Race is old hat, right out of the 1950's. Time to get over it. There'll always be a deranged small minority who believes a different race is to be impugned. But one party thinks race is what you talk about to get elected. Buckle up if you are a member of either group.

As in Joseph Phillips' column: America: Still Talking About Race, one of the things Obama said he was trying to do was change the conversation on race. Unfortunately, he has done the exact opposite. As an alleged black president, the country has race on its mind more than ever (even though Obama is only 45% black).

Racism has been charged so many times by one party that it's becoming worn out, like the old fairy tale about the boy crying 'wolf'. Representatives Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel have claimed racism is one of the reasons behind investigations into their dishonest dealings.

How about the time Obama used an alleged break-in incident to flash the race card by saying the police 'reacted stupidly' after Gates (house owner) was arrested for disorderly conduct. As the police report states, Sergeant James Crowley was a "police academy expert on racial profiling."

With anthropogenic global warming (AGW), it has been proven many Blacks will suffer more with many of the additional erroneously called-for expenditures. The $862 billion stimulus by Obama has put thousands (obviously including Blacks) out of work, raising America's unemployment to almost 10%.

Home sales dropped more than 25% in July. Foreclosures seem to increase every month. In Townhall - John Hawkins - 5 Reasons Obama's Election Is Bad for ...race relations, black Democrats put race first to elect Obama. It's no longer a surprise when black Democrats vote >90% (almost a monolithic block) for Democrat candidates.

Frances Rice, Chairman of the BLACK REPUBLICAN: National Black Republican Association E-News, discusses in one column Phillip Jackson's description of how Black America Loses Gamble In Electing First Black President .... Jackson concludes how "Black America has mistakenly traded the future of its young black men for a black president."

But the most shocking item is due to the decision of Roe vs. Wade. Since 1973 Black women have had 15 million abortions. Of all abortions, 37% are performed on Black women, even though they make up only 13% of the population. The abortion rate for Blacks is 3x that of Whites (White/ LifeNews). But during a recent NAACP convention in Georgia, why would the NAACP endorse a bill passed by the Georgia state senate that would make it a crime to abort a child because of its race or gender, and turn around and take the endorsement back?

It turns out the NAACP reversed their lockstep decision because it was not in-step' with the Democrat platform. Why would they care so little about those 15 million souls? If it was up to the Republicans, abortions would be outlawed, and at least 15 million more people would have existed since Roe. In an all-too-familiar move, the NAACP decision was not based on human rights, it was based on party.

In reality, most white Americans feel pride by following Martin Luther King Jr.'s immortal words, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

One wonders exactly what will happen if a Republican candidate, who is black, gets elected to the presidency. It will be obvious then instead of actual racism, Democrats really have only 'party' in mind. Maybe millions of Blacks will realize they've been duped for years by the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Unlike Phillips, one should not shake the hand of Obama, but a true Black who has ALL races in mind. Any number of black people would make great presidents: Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Bill Cosby, Shelby Steele, Armstrong Williams, JC Watts, Michael Steele, Star Parker, Alan Keyes, and Alveda King, just to name a few. But they all seem to have the 'wrong' ideology.

But has Obama's election changed race relations? "For the first time in 30 years, the gap between black and white income is increasing," says William P. Jones (Professor, UW-Madison Center for Humanities), who was part of a discussion panel called: "Taking Stock of Race and Racism: A Year after Obama's Inauguration" presented recently.

With some mindsets on race only, and not ideology, just what have we done to ourselves?

Blacks think and talk about race regularly. They tend to vote as a block for Black interests. Hispanics do the same, as do Jews. For example, whether Republican or Democrat, left or right, their support for the racialist state of Israel is nearly universal. Only Whites are discouraged from discussing race, or making it an issue. As the demographic trends pushing Whites towards minority status in the U.S. increases speed, though, expect that to change, out of the necessity of survival.

Letters To Editor Indicate Public Support For Roper Campaign

Below is a reprint of the recent front page headline news article on Billy Roper’s write in campaign for governor in Arkansas. Following the article are examples of recently published letters to the editor about the story.

From the Russellville, Arkansas Courier

Story Date: Sunday, August 15th, 2010
Local man seeks high office
Roper takes his controversial views to the campaign trail

By Whitney Snipes
[email]government@couriernews.com[/email]

Standing Up For Our People

One Pope County resident likens the modern-day United States’ plight to that of our Founding Fathers — and he’s on the campaign trail in hopes of doing something about it.
BILLY ROPER, 38, is campaigning for the governor’s office in this year’s November election. His platform might not look too different at first glance from many conservative viewpoints. He advocates tough immigration laws and Second Amendment rights, while opposing same-sex marriage and big government.
What sets Roper apart from other politicians is his outspoken belief that multiracial nations historically do not work and his wish to see the United States return to its historic roots as a white nation.
“I don’t consider myself a supremacist, but rather as a separatist. I think that every person, every race, should have the right to self-determination as a nation. But if we’re going to be objective and look at comparative contributions to science and technology and medicine, I think the white race is well represented. I believe that if we become the minority so that we no longer control any one nation, then the lights go out, not just for us but for the whole world, forever,” Roper said.
Roper believes it is simply not viable to maintain governmental stability in a multiracial nation.
“No multiracial empire has ever lasted. No multiracial democracy has ever lasted. They always implode and break apart into civil war,” he said.
Roper has said if elected, he will work to revive and enforce the state General Assembly’s Act 907 of 2005, which provides for state police to receive training from federal immigration officials on enforcing immigration laws. The act also states officers trained in this manner will have the authority to make arrests to enforce immigration laws.
In addition to reviving the act as it now stands, Roper hopes to revisit the act in light of Arizona’s recent immigration bill and “give it more teeth.”

Unashamed Of The Truth

Roper would like to see the 14th Amendment interpreted in the voice of the United States’ Founding Fathers, who he believes did not intend to provide citizenship to children born of foreign nationals.
“The original intent of the 14th Amendment, which is what they’re allegedly given citizenship under, is that the only people that are given citizenship automatically in the United States when they’re born here is those whose parents are under the jurisdiction of the United States government. If their parents are foreign nationals, then they are not under the jurisdiction of the United States government, even if they are (living) here,” he said.
Another issue important to Roper is to provide for an exemption from federal regulations for weapons built, sold and kept within state borders. He said this is important because the federal government uses the Interstate Commerce Act to provide regulation on citizens’ Second Amendment rights. However, if guns and ammunition never leave the state, Roper said the federal government will then have no jurisdiction to regulate them.
Roper plans to cut back on state welfare benefits by requiring any recipient of welfare benefits or state social services to pass a monthly drug screening.
“Do you know how much money we’d save if 10 percent of those people who are using illegal drugs were taken off the rolls?” Roper asked.
When asked what he thinks sets him apart from mainstream gubernatorial candidates Jim Keet and Gov. Mike Beebe, Roper said, “I guess I have more faith in the common people than Keet or Beebe — certainly more than Beebe. I come from a pretty working-class background. I think I am more in touch with the day-to-day economic struggle of Arkansans than either one of those candidates are.”

Taking Back America

As far as the current debate regarding the private use of state-owned vehicles, Roper said, if elected, he would be more than happy to drive his own vehicle to work. He also has plans to trim the state payroll.
“They talk about cutting constitutional officers’ salaries by 20 percent. I think they should cut them by 50 percent. If I were elected, I know that I could make do on less than that,” Roper said.
Roper said he doesn’t actually expect to win the election, but getting his message out is more important to him than the number of votes he receives. He hopes to gain a “moral victory” by receiving at least 10,000 votes. He plans to continue with a previous plan to run as the Nationalist Party of America candidate in the 2012 presidential election if he loses the gubernatorial race.
Roper expressed his concern of the consequences if people do not heed his message when he said “the inevitability is that either the United States will return back to (the) Founding Fathers’ principles that our nation was founded on, or we will cease to be one nation under God.”
Roper has never been silent about his beliefs and has attracted the attention of groups promoting tolerance. The Southern Poverty Law Center states on its website that Roper is “the uncensored voice of violent neo-Nazism.”
When asked about such claims, Roper said, “the Southern Poverty Law Center is a collection of homosexuals and Jews who have made themselves into multi-millionaires by suing people with whom they disagree, and also by scaring people into sending them donations.”
Roper is the founder and chairman of White Revolution, an organization dedicated to promoting the survival of the white race. The organization’s website states, “we must secure the existence of our people, and a future for White children” (sic).
Answering concerns that his message was politically incorrect, Roper said he believed many white citizens shared his views and said, “The difference between me and a lot of white citizens is because I say in public and to the media what they say around the dinner tables at night — I’m just unabashed about it.”
