re: I'm a liberal, and I abhor Jesse Jackson

At least Strong Safety has recognized how harmful it is to the black population as a whole to vote overwhelmingly on way. It ensures that there is an incentive (in this case by the democratic party) to keep the black population "on the plantation" (i.e. lower income and government dependent).

How do you explain Jews, Hispanics and Asians?

As usual, Vegas Bengal, you conveniently sweep some pertinent facts under the rug. Why is it that you can never respond to the actual substance of what is being said. Regarding a couple of inaccuracies in your shallow post, allow me to respond:

(1) First of all, with regards to your implication that it's absurd to refer to Oprah Winfrey as a racist, allow me to repeat the most convincing argument in favor of me telling the truth about her. About a year ago, Oprah Winfrey said that "older white people just need to die." VB, in what universe is that not a clearly racist statement? If someone had said that older black people just need to die, the news networks and the internet would've blown up.

"Older white people just need to die." VB, I dare you to respond specifically to that outrageous comment, and tell me it isn't racist. I'm sure you will continue to sidestep what she actually said, because you almost never speak to the substance of anything that doesn't fit your narrative.

(2) I didn't call strongsafety a racist. SS is accusing medical professionals of giving Thomas Duncan substandard care because he was black. I was simply telling the board that, sadly, SS's mindset on this matter is not atypical of black people here in DFW who have spoken out about this. They think Thomas Duncan was a hero, courageous, and that he was absolutely given less than optimal treatment because he was black.

Obviously, VB, I dont expect you to have an honest discussion about either of these two matters. You almost never do.

You know, as long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problem’s not solved. As long as there are people who still, there’s a whole generation – I say this, you know, I said this, you know, for apartheid South Africa, I said this for my own, you know, community in the south - there are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.

Little bit different, wouldn't you say?

Once again, VB, you dont have the guts to respond to what I actually posted. It is a waste of time to discuss anything with you, because you are a coward.

As for UPT, are you actually implying that Oprah wasn't talking about white people? The interviewer specifically asked her to confirm her statement about older WHITE people, and she repeated, "They just need to die."

Nice try, though.

So do most champions of racial inequality. It's how they make money.

No I'm not accusing them of giving him bad care because he is black.

What I meant was that there are hundreds of stats out there that show black people didn't get adequate care hundreds of years ago, 50 years ago, and today. Am I racist for stating a fact ? Or does this fact bother you, because you rather live your life in a reality where health disparities don't exist. If it fits your narrative, then do it, but I'll be damn sure to know that you are ignorant.

I previously said the family had every right to be suspicious. Do I think that was the case tho? No, I think the incompetency of those healthcare professionals failed him. That's malpractice, not a civil rights suit.

Also please explain why it's not okay for blacks to vote monolithicly but it's okay for white males to do so? I'm interested in seeing your reason

well it's not really similar

you're dealing with a secondary division of population with the W/M issue, and i don't think the stats back up the claim

if you add a tertiary variable (being southern), then i think the stats get similar

Okay let's get more specific, 40 year olds and older

do you have the stats? i still don't think it's 90%+ nationally

and it's still 3 variables (race, sex, age) compared to 1 (race)
