I wouldn't trust anything that racist mayor says...

Recall the bastard now. There must be a penalty for this sort of behavior.

He's muy sympatico to the Occutards. Shocka.

God help us all.

If a black person is ever elected to be president of the USA we will know this childish nonsense will be behind us. Of course that will never happen as long as we racist honkies rule.

I'll never look at my face in the mirror again now that I know I'm a racist. I blame my parents for me being white.

Definition of a racist: someone who is winning an argument with a liberal.

My only other comment to these people would be somewhat biblical, along the lines of 'go forth and multiply'.

It's not hard for me to see racism, I see it every time I look for a job.

Duluth is a small city with only 86 thousand and is 93% white. Average age is 35. If they really want to shed the guilt immage of being white, a weeks vacation in Detroit should do it. It would also show the future if the OWS crowd gets their way and the marvels of socialism.

Duluth MN is probably one of the bluest parts of a very blue state of Minnesota.

Of course these politicians and their advisors view everything through the lens of racism, tribalism, sexual preference, ethnic and religious hatred. Add in unions, and us vs them class warfare. That is how the Democrat Party operates.

They balkanize us into little groups and tell us they are the only ones that can get us "justice." Vote for us and we will get you your "rights" and your piece of the pie (and some of that other b@stard's too!). And stay loyal to your group. Independence is heresy. That is starting to end though. They are running out of other peoples money. (And young people are all fleeing too)

If Duluth is so damn racist, who do they have to blame? The DFL, unions and the progressive/socialist/communist hatemongers have been running that town and the schools for years. And it is the only place I know that the people talk about each other and use phrases like I-ties, swedes, pollocks, and bo-hunks in normal conversations.

Maybe they are all racists, but who made them that way?

Thank God my father moved us out of there before I was born.

Mayor Ness should lead by example: He might, for instance, move into a predominantly black or Hispanic neighborhood in Duluth and, to show his lack of pernicious racial prejudice and refusal to stereotype, remove any anti-burglar bars or alarms the house might have come with. He would, of course, dispense with any security detail he might have, and use public transportation to get to work and back. I eagerly await the result of the demonstration.

Forget racism, put up a billboard that says "If you are a politician you must be an IDIOT". Thats the only ism I see.

I was waiting for him to start singing...a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a wonderful day...

Racist, Schmacist .... who cares anymore?

Doesn't all this nonsense originate from projected self-loathing? I mean, can there be anything more glorious and self-helpful than projecting your own failures onto others and then giggling with glee that some suckers have bit the hook?

SDH. the funny thing is, is that the RCMP is short of recruits especially in BC. 10% understaffed in BC and 17% understaffed on Vancouver Island.

"and maybe it'll make people start talking about it ,more jobs for us..."

That quote from the young black woman interviewed who,I assume,can't get a job because of racism.

Or a lack of work ethic combined with an "attitude".

That Mayor is the type of liberal twit no town should have to endure. He'll piss away a fortune on government intervention into every aspect of people's lives,and drive investment out of the community, all in the name of social justice.

Affirmative action is a relic of the past,Mayor,didn't you get the memo.

Look into Hizzoner's eyes - there's simply nothing in there - you can almost see right back to the other side of his head.

Calling this man an idiot is an insult to all real idiots.

I have said this many times. Once a year, preferably on July 01 or July 04 in Canada and the USA prespectively all white people should admit they are racist. The next step would be to enshrine this statement in the Constituion and the Charter of Right and Freedom.

Maybe this would put an end to this b.s.

I am sure the mayor who I would think from observation is not what we would call a real man. Wouldn't you just like to slap that little wimp?

" I was waiting for him to start singing...a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a wonderful day..."

Really,Mr.Rogers and Howdy Doody's child is all grown up,and a fool.

Maybe I'm a racist, maybe I'm not, I couldn't care less. I quit being concerned about the names people called me a long time ago when I left elementary school.

So to elimanate rasism all whites need to be elimanted ? someone didnt think this out to well

It's hard to see equality when you are a liberal.

There seems to be no end to the self loathing in the liberal world. They won't rest until we disappear off the face of the earth.

Whew! Now I no longer have to stay awake at night wondering if I am a racist! This is such an incontrovertible scientific test, having nothing to do with I don't know, the content of my character or my behaviour towards others.

Does this mean that not only are whites the only racists, as everyone knows minorities can't be racist, but all whites are racists, and whites now hold racist prejudices against all races including their own?

Isn't saying that all the members of a certain race behave in a certain way a racist statement in itself? Is this exercise in free speech in violation of Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

Memo to the citizens of Duluth - next election fire this turkey.

Is it racist to call somebody a dink? Cause that is one white liberal dink for sure.+

I dislike people of all races without much bias, so I guess that makes me a realist.

"So to elimanate rasism all whites need to be elimanted ? someone didnt think this out to well"

and then who will pay all those taxes needed for them thar social justice programs????

I have two white dogs, does that make me doubly racist? Luckily, I have an accent so I am one of the "audible minority" so maybe I get a pass on one of them?

I wonder if this has anything to do with the mayor auditioning for the new "manager" role of THE OFFICE? We have got the real Michael Scott here. I can just imagine Stanley rolling his eyes. Next he will be promoting a "run for the cure" event to end rabies.

Man, that cat is squaresville, daddyo. All the hep cats know that racism, a.k.a. "whiteness", is a state of mind. Ya think he thinks of himself as racist?

"Never trust a man without a chin." - Nero Wolfe

Interesting thing about Minnesota. Very conservative place once you get ten miles from Minneapolis. Duluth seems to the the same deal.

Minneapolis is so liberal it makes your teeth ache. They seem to sense they are the final outpost of liberalism before the Vast Wasteland until you get to Seattle, and so in many ways they're worse than Californians.

As to the racist thing; I've been called worse on the interwebs, but I have yet to meet anyone brave enough (or fool enough) to say it to my face.

This is interesting:

Race and Crime:
http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime

Piper, it’s not self-loathing. White people support this ad campaign support with the belief that their support somehow magically erases THEIR racism. The loathing is reserved for white people who object to the billboards. Listen to the passive aggressive tone:

“It’s bringing forth this issue in a way that may make people uncomfortable. But hopefully the goal is not simply to place blame.”

You see? We may be blaming you, but that’s not our ultimate goal. We can’t help it if you feel guilty for being racist. Besides, you can avoid all that discomfort by accepting our premise & admitting you suck.

“It’s about time this happened.”

Get with it, you idiotic hicks!

I grew up a white boy in a predominantly black neighborhood. Like any other group of people, the vast majority of my neighbors were decent. Don’t mean to go all missionary, but I found that voluntary associations through religion were the only effective means of bridging the racial gap. Guilt-based plans like affirmative action & forced busing only exacerbated the divide.

People, especially liberals, forget that government enforces its decrees through the implicit threat of violence. I'm not opposed to violence. I support all folks, including black folks, in their efforts to openly arm & protect themselves. What worries me is when professional liars (like Don Ness) endorse vaguely threatening billboards.

Funny, according to the Wikipedia definition, it makes to label to which colour is the racist. I guess south of the border, they spent so much time pointing fingers at eachother, they haven't figured that out yet! so much for being the world leader in anything, eh?

If you dig a little deeper into this post, you'll read about a woman in the UK who laments the use of WHITE paper in the classroom. Apparently she believes several and varied flesh-tones should be used instead. I see no indication if she had the same opinion about toilet paper. Where do these MORONS come from?

"It's hard to see racism when you're white."

It's hard to see stupid when you're liberal.

Who made it bad to be racist.. We are all racist.. Blacks are racist. Yellows are racist. Whites are racist. Reds are racist.. It is only normal to prefer to be around the "one's who brung ya".. your parent's.. and the culture that come's with you. We put too much value on our "better's" opinions. We are too sensitive to the criticisms from the liberal left and the guilt we are told we must feel for preferring people like ourselves. Why is it unacceptable to find differences in our cultures. We are all different. Our up-bringing guarantees that. It's what makes us interesting to each other. For years we were told men and women are the same, and we all know how stupid that premise was , but we heard it for the longest time. We have to learn to accept our differences, and get on with life.

What Ellie said.

happy infidel, I prefer to call it a "tribal" instinct that goes back to the dawn of time. Most of us try to get along with those of other tribes and work with them, but a crisis or bullying of some sort can result in a circling of the wagons.

The following would either fit into this thread and the one before it. Terrorists are our fault.

Edmonton professor of international relations named Knight thinks Canadians are racists. According to Knight, the problem is "xenoracism" - a new form of racism that targets foreigners - in Canadian society.

happy infidel

but I worked so hard all my life to become a racist, and now you want me to do what? Give it up?

Only a fool who has never travelled or lived in any "non white" country could come up with such a lie.

NM..lol...Be yourself.Unless you happen to be a despicable human being. Then you might want to try and change.

What The Fire Chief Said....?
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
Not fair to make judgment of this, until you see what the Fire
Chief says!!!!

In South Los Angeles , a 4-plex home was destroyed by a fire.

A Mexican family of six, all welfare recipients and gang members,
Lived on the first floor, they died.

An Islamic group of seven welfare cheats,
All illegally in the country from Kenya , lived on the second floor,
And they, too, all perished in the fire.

6 LA Hispanic Gang Bangers & ex-cons,
Lived on the 3rd floor and they too, died.

A lone, white couple lived on the top floor.
The couple survived the fire.

Jesse Jackson, John Burris and Al Sharpton were furious!!
They flew into LA and met with the fire chief, on camera.
They loudly demanded to know,
Why the Blacks, Black Muslims and Hispanics,
All died in the fire and why only the White couple lived?

The Fire Chief said,
"They were at work"

NM.. Of course you aren't a despicable human being, that of course was a tiny bit of humour.

90% of the planet is non white.

You find racism everywhere by non whites against other races, ethnicities, cultures. and religions.

We are importing this same global majority wholesale into white countries. The mentally ill white apologists have allowed the world’s majority to take advantage of every opportunity to debase and take advantage of the minority white cultures and their wealth by default of their obvious ignorance and gullibility.

Bwahahhahahahahhaha. Tell that to the USSA and the ZERO! Maybe YOU missed the memo,dmorris.

It's difficult to see racism when you are an aboriginal and get money for simply being of the right race.

But I am white and I can see racism clear enough.

Here is a thought:

Sarcasm On

Our Federal Government is the most racist thing in Canada ... try to get a job with them unless you know French. In fact, try to get a Prime Minister that only speaks English.

And of all the most recist people in Canada are [French] Quebec government ... even all signs must have the French letters bigger than any other language - French Language Police make sure of that with their rulers. Perfect example of a racist, based on language alone.

Sarcasm off

Mike "SDH. the funny thing is, is that the RCMP is short of recruits especially in BC. 10% understaffed in BC and 17% understaffed on Vancouver Island.

http://www.timescolonist.com/news/Island+Mounties+their+feet/6104490/story.html "

The RCMP are not short of recruits. They are short of brains and ambition. Hiring and training people is too much like... ... work.

If they convince me, they'll regret it.

I'd rather be a nice racist than a malicious liberal.

I'm not a racist, I've got a colour TV.

Mr. Mathematical Symbols cuts pretty close to the truth of the matter.

As for Mr. Mayor of Duluth, Minnesota, I'd like him to perform an experiment. Repeat this billboard campaign with black faces and again with obvious muslim or hispanic faces. For each campaign, keep track of how many of the signs are vandalized, how many death threats he gets and how many people simply call in to radio shows or write a letter to the editor.

I know, I know, a technicolor dream.

When is White history month ? We will get a whole month of air time to show how we have been screwed.

Case in point.

The comments are hilarious! After a 12 shift, this is great fun. Was in Duluth once with my family, we stayed in a motel facing the lake, which was very stormy. I liked Duluth, seemed like a nice homey, normal place, but of course, it was before the Loch Ness monster was born. I'm quite old, way past my meridian, unless, of course I live to be 126!

I'm white, male, employed and healthy. Do I care about any of this liberal BS!! No--I don't!!

Being called a racist these days is a badge of honor. It shows you have some sanity left.
The real race mongers are those who can't think in any other way but in racial terms. Unlike the vast majority of people.

What, exactly, is wrong with racism?
It's normal human nature to prefer one's own.

What's next? A war on wrong turns? Laughing too loud? Changing weather? ...oops

So everybody's racist. So what?

Duluth has usurped the title The Mistake By The Lake from Cleveland.

It's hard to fight racism when you're always trying to stir it up, which is what these liberal clowns do by encouraging any malcontent minority person to blame it on racism by whites.

Funny, the mayor doesn't LOOK retarded.

He must cover it with makeup, I think.

Perhaps the mayor is too out of touch with reality to realize that calling someone "racist" now almost universally indicates that a moonbat is losing an argument against someone whose world view is reality based. I've been called a racist when I've refused to prescribe narcotics to Native Indians whose "dog ate the last prescription" from 2 days ago or when I've told central American "injured" workers that I could find no medical reason for them to be off work. I have absolutely no guilt about being a successful white male and have nothing but contempt for those white people who cave in to idiotic demands when someone calls them "racist".

I suppose white people could use the same "racist" defense against black muggers who'd just hang their head in shame after being called racists and pick on their own kind.

What I've found is that those who rant most about racism are really engaging in the defense of projection. This is very similar to people who want guns banned because, personally, they know if they ever had a gun in their hands they'd be blowing away anyone they didn't like.

Dealing with people as individuals is what is needed but that pisses off "disadvantaged" groups. I couldn't give a rats ass if someones ethnic group was the victim of discrimination a few centuries ago. People either get into the victim role or get on with life. I don't have any sympathy for professional victims whatever the color of their skin.

One thing I find hilarious is all the Natives who wear "Native Pride" baseball caps. You fill in the rest...

A mayor's FIRST job is, don't get your city burned to the ground.

To this end, the mayor did the right thing.

Stoking racial hatred against whites is a small price to pay to save Duluth from being turned into ashes.

Please Join African Americans for Obama by sending in a few dollars now.
We gotta put down Whitey once and for all.

the "african americans for obama" post was supposed to be "ironic"racism.
I go for laugh,no get.

The Liberal Left has made me hate them many more times than I could hate black people. That said the Liberal Left along with race biters like Al Sharpton, Barak Obamba, and Oprah have made me want nothing whatsoever to do with black people ever.

If I’m a racist, you’re calling me a plain and ordinary every day person.

It has been said before and deserves being said again: black racists and white guilt elected Obama in 2008.

Humans are social creatures and genetically pre-disposed to tribalism - i.e, associating with and trusting those of their kind. I have no problem with that - a community may well be stronger for it.

Sadly the word "racism" as promulgated by neo-socialists and progressive academics and the MSM now carries with it the negative vernacular connotation of bigotry and blind prejudice.

All said - There's a fine line between tolerance and acceptance. I might tolerate a rube neighbour playing loud rap music but I certainly don't have to accept him.

But everyone in Japan is a racist...Did we loose a war or something?

Posted by: happy infidel at February 5, 2012 8:00 PM

There is PROFOUND truth in this happy infidel.
A quick anecdote: took my very liberal daughter and husband to a Chinese restauant in Richmond BC. I observed that we are were the only whites in the very large building and further that I could understand why so many Richmondites moved into the interior. You can imagine the pregnant silence. But that was my point: it's perfectly normal to want to be around "your own", as the Chinese unabashedly demonstrate themselves.

NOW, here's where it get even funnier. When I recently told this little story to a liberal friend he upbraided me for my referring to us as as honkeys. He told me, 'Chinese people call us caucasians'.

Who calls us ROUND EYES. Japanese or Chinese?

Further to Me No Dhimmi's comment;

Stayed at an upscale downtown Vancouver hotel some years ago. Asked the Chinese bellhop where he would take a lady for dinner - he obliged us with the name and location of his favorite restaurant.

We were somewhat taken aback when we were the only Caucasians there - service was decidedly slow - but the meal was memorable.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

It consists of replacing our interest in reality with the dominance of human emotions and socialization.

No wonder it arrives at such deliciously absurd conclusions.

Luckily it makes them easy to spot. "Hey, I'm a zombie!"
