First of all, I’m tired of the topic of prejudism only being between blacks and whites. There are SO MANY other races of Americans in this country that are hardly ever represented in the American media and entertainment world, a blatant form of prejudism in and of itself. Where are the A-list Hollywood actors or singers, TV hosts, guest experts/commentators who are Americans of, say, Vietnamese, Fijian or Pakistani descent?

Prejudism is usually not overt. It displays itself via the subtlest of thoughts and mindsets, many times so ingrained in a person’s mind that they can’t see it. Here in the south where I temporarily live, the treatment of whites vs. other races is as clear as day. I’ve also lived in California where it exists just as much but on a more covert level due to political correctness. Prejudism requires a person to ask themself honest questions and provide honest answers. Some of these questions: Do I believe in any way that my race is better or superior than that other race? Do I stand up for someone based on the fact that they’re the same race as me, even when I don’t agree with what they’re doing? Would I be 100% approving of my son or daughter marrying someone of that race? Am I just as happy to see someone of another race excel as I am someone of my race? Am I more comfortable with someone of my own race?

Prejudism is alive and well all around the world, including the U.S. and it is just as wrong to provide a blanket denial without truly searching one’s own heart as it is to throw out mindless accusations.

Where does it say anything about only whites can be racists? This is another made up theory to push their agendas. By definition #2, any color can be a racist. By #1, disagreeing with someone is NOT RACISM. You have to believe you are superior to someone because of your race, NOT your beliefs.

Noun 1. racist – a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others

So I think most of the people on here don’t think they are superior to Pres Obama because of his RACE. Let’s face it, he’s the president and most of us just lives our lives, go to work (pay taxes), and raise our families. We couldn’t think of becoming president [although Nobel Peace Prize may be in reach now ] I don’t think most of us would think we are superior to he or any other person because of race or any other factor, but ideas are a different thing. If a person of color states that the sky is pink when its obviously blue and we disagree, does that make us racist? What about something more difficult to discern like politics or economics? There are certainly many different schools of thought for religion, economics, politics, etc. How about a white evolutionist against a black fundamental preacher creationist? Examples are endless. How can any edcuated person say that anyone who disagrees with the president’s policies is racist? As far as minorities have come [granted racists did their part to prevent these strides], race does not factor into things at all like it used to. I was happy when he won the election even though I did not vote for him. I thought it was a great achievement considering where he came from and his family situation and yes, being black. Unfortunately, his race and the so-called “racial healing” has not occured because THEY don’t want it to. The words racism or racist have become what the communists used to use for the “PARTY”. If you disagree with the “party” you are demonized, ostracized or killed. This is the same thing. They are framing policies around race so no one can diagree without being labeled a racist.

There is a full out assault on the freedom of speech. It started with PC speech on college campuses and the media. Now that professors and the media are all in agreement, the next step is the citizens. Why? Because it is the most important of our rights. Its loss leads to loss of all other rights. Why do you think its the first Bill Of Right? The founding fathers thought it was the most important. If there is no freedom of speech, press, etc, no one will hear the truth. The real truth will then be perceived to be something different and all will go along with their belief system. This is the isidious propaganda machine we are being subjected to and its getting worse. The problem is that most people aren’t that informed and hear sound bites the MSM wants them to hear. This is the most destructive.

When the liberals say that everything starts with racism, it does. That is exactly their plan.

Even with more and more evidence mounting showing the connections between the President and the various radicals he has surrounded himself, Bill seems to go out of his way to frequently praise the President for his honesty and intelligence. I felt that Bill was tougher on President Obama during the campaign and now keeps walking on egg shells since Obama was elected. Is it just respect for the office, or is there more going on here then meets the eye. I agree that Bernie and Glenn Beck might be a better match since as of late, Bill O’Reilly has treading lightly when it comes to discussing the President. I guess it could be a matter of playing Devils Advocate as mentioned by another poster here, but my gut tells me that with regards to the President Bill is going out of his way to play it safe and I find this a bit disturbing. But I have been wrong before and maybe I am just seeing a problem where there isn’t one. Only time will tell.

If possible, I would appreciate someone contacting me, from his web-site, about buying two autograghed books. One for my son and one for may bother-in-law. We all trade books during the holiday season.

Thanks again Mr. Goldberg for your wisdom and thoughts,

As far as Bill’s technique goes, you are both missing the point. I think he plays devil’s advocate not only to see all sides of an issue but to make for an interesting debate. Or you can turn on Brian Williams and watch him ask Barack and Michelle about their new puppy. The choice is yours.

A) Anyone that has ownership in big oil as they’re all white conservative males.
B) Anyone who owns an NFL team. Same reasoning as described in the above.
C) Anyone who is on FNC as most everyone is white and conservative.
D) Anyone that has anything to do with ownership of defense contractors. Same as A & B
E) Anyone who’s a Republican, and lives in the S.E. of the U.S. For the exception of Florida. (?)
F) Anyone who lives out west and is a Mormon. Because they usually are white & conservative.
D) Anyone of African-American decent, and is a conservative as the person is considered white.
E) Anyone who- it goes on forever

Yes, racism still exists in this country and the world, but if so many people in America are supposedly racist, how did a black man get elected President in the first place. It all boils down to the fact that the elite media and the far left can’t debate the issues on their merits, so they retreat to the name calling to try shutting up the opposition.

The radical loons who constantly attack everyday American’s due to our opposing views on policy would be the first to scream if the main stream media made a stink over their protests claiming that they are justified by the First Amendment and right to Free Speech. But it appears the 1st Amendment was supposedly just written for the minority ie, the far left and that if regular America speaks out that we should just shut up and go away. Sorry, but the Freedom of Speech exists for All American’s – not just the few that agree with you.

People like Jimmy Carter speaking out on this issue makes no difference. He was an idiot as President and doesn’t seem to have wised up in his old age. I guess that makes me a bigot against people from Georgia?? As for the Vet who posted comments here supporting the racist argument, thank you for your service and you have a right to your opinion. But I am also a vet as well as retired on a disability from 25 years in law enforcement so I also have a right to my opinion and even though it is 180 degrees from yours, it doesn’t make me a racist.

Thanks Bernie for another insightful look at the facts. Keep them honest my friend!

Mr. Goldberg, when are you going to hook up with Glenn Beck instead of the carnival barker, Bill
O’Reilly?

It is frustrating to watch that bag of wind cavalierly dismiss valid points you and Mr. Beck make, as if you wer court jesters and his snide Neville Chamberlain-like attitude amounted to something more than a rabbit passing gas.

Had John McCain been elected do they really think that conservatives would then automatically be backing illegal immigration, national health scare, and the pig out that is going on in DC today? They obviously didn’t when Bush was still in office so why should they now? Obama is nothing but the desperate left’s excuse to play this dirty old worn out race card again, and this juvenile attempt to open old wounds only reveals the sophomoric weakness of their intellectual arguments even more.
