I have several black girlfriends and I'm a racist.

To answer the question in the original article, it is irrelevant whether Ryan had an AA if or not.

It is also well known that different generations of immigrants can show a strong antagonism towards the next generation. So the first mexican immigrants look down on recent immigrants. In my country, west indian immigrants from the 50's/60's are very antagonistic towards recent African immigrants.

Its' all about climbing the ladder and kicking those beneath you.

The first Mexican immigrants were not immigrants but were already here. The first immigrants go back over 100 years.

A while back; TTH actually pulled out the "you should leave this country" arguement, that was about a month before he told us if Obama loses, he would be leaving.

How about this: “culturally sanctioned beliefs, which, regardless of intentions involved, defend the advantages whites have because of the subordinated position of racial minorities”.

David Wellman, Racism in America.

And you missed what, even at the time I was in college, was the best counter argument to the racism can only be directed at a minority group argument. The best counter was South Africa during the apartheid era. But I was taught that the proper tem for group feelings against msjority groups was reverse racism and that that phenomena had different roots to some degree. As I think I said in the initial pos, I don't know where that accademic debate is now.

Back to the main point, anyone can be a racist. The New Black Panthers are racists, just as much as the Ku Klux Klan; they may be worse.

Later they called themselves progressives, after liberal had become stigmatized.
