@RationalEmotive not saying rioting is the right thing but if you point to a rioting in L.A because of a injustice of a guy being beating with excessive force(regardless of color) and the officers get off. I will point to the hundreds of millions of blacks who were stolen from Africa and killes chained and beaten and the milllions of natives who were slaughtered and killed and have Europeans take over their land so just asking what where those Europeans excuse???

Theres still some truth in what he is saying.

"teaching white teens it is OK to be a hip hopper" thats whats happening?
-
McWhorer is correct:
The Rodney King accident was used as an excuse for blacks to go apeshit and challenge the White Christian male power structure, killing Whites, raping white women and so on.
The rap and gangbanger culture is taking its toll and we are far too much reverse racists, handing out privileges for young gang niggas, terrorizing white suburbanite areas and teaching white middle-class teenagers it is ok, to be a hip hopper.

He has very profound and observant mind and way of expression that is as eloquent, diplomatic, reasonable and inviting as Barack Obamas. But I don't agree with him for %100 The way that Katrina was handled by our government is apalling.

This guy is so right. People need to get off welfare and learn to fish for themselves. The government is not your mommy or your daddy.

I might not agree with a lot of his views, but I agree with the basic one, that we as minorities (and I am hispanic and the same applies to us too, as I grew up in the ghetto of New York in the 80's) have to get past this "victimologist" attitude. I went to college, was made fun of in school because I spoke "white", had a horrible time in school because of the taunting, yet made something of myself. There is no excuse for being uneducated, sorry.

Yes, both are great books. I saw myself in him. All those kids who made fun of me stayed in the ghetto, got pregnant at 15, got on welfare, because THEY CHOOSE TO. All I kept hearing was the "white man this, the white man that", yet this was the early 80's and we had Pell Grants, scholarships for minorities, affirmative action, yet very few of my brothers in the ghetto chose to take advantage of it and still blame the white man. Go figure. I have NO PITY FOR THEM.
