By one merely saying that he or she isn't racist doesn't necessarily make it true. We're always going to have prejudices of one type or another. What we like/don't like, what we're comfortable or uncomfortable with, our way of life, how we were brought up, our politics and religious affiliations, how others differ from us...it's ENDLESS. However many don't understand this, so they continue to exacerbate the "only the right is racist" view, which is a stereotype in and of itself! Here is a website featuring an article on this very topic. This comment from MichelleMalkin.com, shows how some blatant racism (coming from the Left) never seems to be pointed out:Let’s discuss some “Derogatory” names that are on television, in the papers, on the radio at any time every day of every week of every month of every year…SHALL WE?
Cracka?
Whitey?
Redneck?
White-boy? [I'd also like to interject about various comments/lines in movies and TV shows where, if a white person can't dance or isn't funny/cool/hip enough, the line invariably goes: "well you ARE white, so..." Would we ever see TV show characters saying: "Well, you're black so obviously you can't do X." ??? NEVER!]
Why it is even prevalent in children’s movies. In the movie “Madagascar”, the zebra character, played by Chris Rock, loves the island sooooo much, that he claimed that it was “Cracka-lackin”.
Gee…so the reason that the island was such a paradise was because it was devoid of white people? And this is ok terminology to have in an animated children’s film?
I have heard this term used MANY times on television in various shows and NEVER spoken by anyone who was not black.
SO tell me, trolls and other race-baiters…why is there no outcry against the BLATANT racism and “Derogatory” terms that are used on a daily basis?
Would it be ok if, in the next childrens movie, a character comes out and proclaims a location to be wonderful simply because it is “N*****-lackin”?
Hypocrites. Stinking hypocrites.
Many years ago, on a lark, I went with a friend to see a medium, who she swore up and down was "the real deal." I was already very leery, but since it was only $5, I decided to check her out. Even at that time, before I was a Christian, I knew that this stuff was just a bunch of malarkey, so I was going to do my best to not give her any body language clues...and my visit confirmed it!
"I’m sorry, it’s necessary to say this," he began. After saying that the video had exploited the memories of the dead, he directly apologized to viewers who were offended. Then, sounding like a network executive, he said it was "probably not appropriate to be shown."
This just goes to show that Olbermann is one of those "journalists" (a term I use very loosely) who jump from one crisis to the next, and 9/11 is just another "story" that's over and done with, and now should be swept under the rug.
Oooh, I can hear their egos exploding even now. :)
Oprah to Palin: I Can Pencil You In Later
Oprah has issued a statement to TMZ -- she won't put Sarah Palin on her show until after the election. Here's the statement: "The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over." (For the record, Barack Obama has been on "Oprah" twice -- in January, 2005 and again in October, 2006 -- before he announced his run for Prez.)
8Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
. . .
25Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. 26Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. 27Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. 28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
. . .
32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
36If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. 37But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even better.[b]
39A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 40In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Democratic delegate : A delegate from
Um. Yeah. Nice getup. Pink seems to be the color of the day!
Found this in the comments of the Newsbusters website. This person has it figured out. This is EXACTLY why we will never understand each other, politics, men/women, etc., and why the world will never function the way it's supposed WITHOUT CHRIST.
Did you expect ROSES?
September 1, 2008 - 19:15 ET by Acts 2_38 Most of the time you go, "How could they do that?" or "How could they say those things about someone's child?", and you never seem to actually come up with the answer. You scrupulously laid off Chelsea then you watched as liberals attacked Barbara and Jenna with aplomb. You stare in shock as the left pursues some witch hunt or other, that would have them impaling themselves on [swords] of righteous indignation, were they themselves being scrutinized in like manner. But you still don't get it. You still persist in being the good natured Joes you are. You still think that the left is just "different" and that "reasonable people can see things two different ways and no one is necessarily evil". Maybe you think that way because you're basically "good" and think everyone's like you. Maybe you're like Rick in Casablanca and just "misinformed", in either case, you're sadly and greatly mistaken. Reasonable people can't see the murder of children "two different" ways, if one of them ends up with dead children! Part of the problem is that you've grown up with a lot of false religion mixed in with the truth. We all have. "WE'RE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN", sound familiar? Of course it does, we've heard it thousands of times.
The problem is that biblically it isn't true. In fact, Jesus specifically, in painstaking detail, taught the exact opposite! HE said in the parable of the Wheat and the Tares, Matt 13:24-30, with the explanation here, Matt 13:36-41, that many people on earth do not in fact belong to Him. That's why they can think that two men should call what they commit upon each other "marriage", or can think that the interruption of a developing life in the womb is not "murder". If you pin one down, they can't even understand that but for their "intervention" a human being would be alive and going to the friggin' dry cleaners! It's like something clouds their reasoning. Well it's because only His "sheep" will hear His voice (John 10:27). And since He is truth, it is no wonder that those who are not His, embrace, spread, or revel in, lies! I realize that some will be uncomfortable about this discussion of religion but I really feel that it is in this province that the solution can be found. Maybe if you wake up you won't keep "bringin' a knife to a gunfight"! See, it doesn't surprise me that an alleged Christian like Obama would start preaching that "Jesus isn't the only way" (Listen to the audio, here.) He could have pointed out that he isn't a minister and that those questions are "above his paygrade", hmmm, why does that sound familiar? But see, he wasn't as cagey then, back then he answered the questions with his liberal satanic view of the world! So when,he as an alleged Christian supports infanticide or that he finds support for gay unions in the SERMON ON THE MOUNT, but can't seem to agree with all of the "obscure scriptures" which specifically condemn homosexuality, I'm not surprised at all. Have you listened to this guy's Pastor??? The preacher's religion is from Satan, not Jesus! (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). "Black liberation theology" teaches its worshippers to hate whites, and Jesus said that hating one's brother is a "no-no" and earns you a quick ride to a hot lake (1John 3:15 and 4:20). It's no shock to me that Pelosi would tell masterfully constructed lies about the position of the Catholic Church as it relates to abortion and in her version, it's the Church that doesn't know IT'S position! For the record the Catholic churches position on abortion is ONE HUNDRED percent biblical, contrary to some of their other notions which we could, but won't, expound on here. Nor sadly, does it surprise me that Alan Colmes and CBS' John Roberts, would now insist that Palin's a deadbeat mom for "abandoning" her special needs child. They are after all, in most cases, just doing their father's work (John 8:44), and as far as vilifying the daughter of a Vice Presidential candidate? Just another day in liberal land. Most of us on the other hand, really need to wake up.
EXIT QUESTION: If you don't recognize your enemy as your enemy, how can you possibly beat him? AMEN! Until we truly wake up, we will be forever blind, and never know the real truth!
"Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
