I just heard former NYC Mayor David Dinkins say we are a “racist society”. Now, I know this man comes from a very rough era of Jim Crow laws, riots, lynchings, back-of-the-bus-this-is-your-fountain-this-is-OUR-fountain… BUT, this is not then, just as today is not 200 years ago when slavery was part of the American fabric.

Still today, we have people who won’t let go of those days. They (and I am talking about some blacks) continue to perpetuate old historical issues, and by doing so, in a twisted bit of irony, perpetuate the aura of racism in our Country.

Considering a man who is half black (even though everyone keeps insisting he is a black man) just got elected President of the United States, I think we can say one thing to those who say, like Dinkins, that America is a racist society:

HOGSHIT

Watching the election coverage yesterday, there was some reporting of Black Panthers on the steps of voting locations, wielding billy clubs.

Is America a racist nation? Absolutely NOT. Are there racists in America? Of course. You will find them everywhere. And clearly, as illustrated by the club wielding Black Panther(s), racism is not isolated to ‘one’ race.

Clearly, though, racist folks are in the minority. There is no way in hell you can elect a man, half black or “all” black, in a country where racism against blacks is prevalent. Not in a country where blacks are only about 12-13% of the population.

Speaking for myself, as much as I loathe the way the man got elected, and as much as I dislike nearly all of his positions, I am very proud of my country. On this site, penned by me, are often references and comments that may seem very racist* to those who are inclined to desire to accuse others of it, or are racist themselves… but I have no problem with a black man being in the White House. I have a problem with a liberal shifty lieing flash in the pan car salesman being elected by a hype driven media and public itching to prove something to themselves or about themselves, but I care not a wit about the race of an elected President. Had Colin Powell, or Alan Keys, or Michael Steele been elected, I would be far happier.

One thing I think that America and Americans have to all accept, now, is that the race peddlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton now have to change their rhetoric a little. They can no longer call America a racist nation.

There is now irrefutable evidence that it clearly is not.

*(I would like to note, for those that can’t recognize it, 95% of what I say on here that seems “off color” (pun intended) is meant to be tongue in cheek.)
