I see the racism charge thrown around these boards by numerous individuals and the mis-use of the word makes me sick. Racism is a beleief that your race is genetically superior to another. The correct charge to lodge against most of these "alleged" incidents that LG is talking about is one of bigotry.
Now, I'm going to level an actual charge of racism. It is my contention that the Democratic party and those that support the expansion of the entitlement state are true racists. In their minds, people that are on entitlement programs are too stupid to stand on their own, a clear cut case of superiority if I ever saw it. The charge against Alan Keyes and other prominent African-American conservative thinkers of being Uncle Tom's is incorrect. The true Uncle Tom's in today's world are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, wanting to keep there fellow African-Americans on the entitlement plantation.
Alan Keyes, Bill Cosby, and others should be considered the Harriet Tubman's of their time.
Don't let them control the language anymore, they are the ones that want EVERYONE sent back to the plantation.

Promoting racial hatred is also racism, groups like the ACLU and the NAACP were founded by the communist party.
The word bigot (ACLG and others should look up the meaning in a dictionary) is probably the most misused word in the English language.
The NAACP and ACLU are both as bigoted as it gets.I remember a couple of years ago that Bill Cosby, addressing the NAACP was met with stony silence when he charged them to be responsible in raising their children but in the end he was met with a standing ovantion when he saide; "white people today are doing to us that their grandparents did."
Althought the NAACP members were applauding what they thought of as continued white oppression of blacks, I thought of my grandmother who once, during the depression spent over three months going over to help a black neighbor woman who was ill and bedridden.
In those days no one had electicity or indoor plumbing.
All week each week she prepared meals, washed clothes and did all the things her neighbor wasn't able to do.
That meant chopping kindling for the kitchen stove and wash pot. Scrubbing clothes on a scrub board and lots of other odds and ends for the lady, her husband and several children.
On weekends a niece of the ill lady would come to help out, my grandmother would go home and do all the same for her husband and three children.
My grandmother thought she was being a good neghbor and friend. I could write a book on what racial relations were really like in those days and maybe someday I will.
All my grandparents did what the could to help the less fortunate, black, white or whatever, not that some favors weren't ever returned either but what some groups promote is divisive on purpose and is an example of the 'divide and conquer' principle.
The racial hatred promoted today by such groups as the ACLU, the NAACP and the Southern Law center is abhorant to the truth and an insult to all my grandparents.
Supreme court justice Thomas said that the racial predjudice of the elitest liberal eastern establishement was far worse than he had ever experienced from the KKKK back home in the south.
MLK said the the racial hatred he found in norther cities like Chicago and Detroit was far worse than he had experienced in Alabama or Georgia.
The continual finger pointing toward southerners as the source of racial strife is an insult to most anyone's intelligence.
To anyone with the faintest grasp of reality.
