And yet, it gets worse!

I dare you, DARE YOU to read the Comments section of that Burt Prelusky post I just linked.

Here, I'll get you started.

THIS REALLY HAPPENED

A Black friend once asked if I would apologize for slavery. I said no, not only no- but he11 NO. My people never had slaves, never knew of slavery. They came here in the 1880s after it was all over. So why SHOULD I apologize?

Said it was a stain on American History. I said, SO WHAT! Did it happen to you? (No.) Your parents? (No.) So WHAT is your problem? Well, it happened. SO WHAT! End of discussion.

THANK YOU, WHITE PEOPLE

Blacks haven't been slaves on the North American continent since 1865... white people owe you nothing. In fact, it was white people--in Western culture--who ended slavery in the Western world, many of them dying in battle.

THANK YOU AGAIN, WHITE PEOPLE

I'm sure you've all noticed the coverage being given to the fact that two black head coaches have led their team to the Super Bowl. In fact according to cnn.com history was made. How nice that these two men took the charitable opportunity that was handed to them on a silver platter by the well meaning white team owners and managed not to screw it up. Truly a credit to their race.

HOW BLACKS CAN EARN OUR RESPECT

I'd encourage them to learn to speak well, and to have job skills, and to marry before they reproduce, and to avoid getting on welfare at any time. I'd also encourage them to either lose the gum altogether (preferable) or learn how to chew it with their mouths closed.

DO WHAT NOW?

We need to call out the people who think blacks being racist against anyone who isn't black isn't racism.

IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE

None of what happened in the past affects us now.

BURT PRELUTSKY RESPONDS TO HIS OWN COLUMN

I wondered when I wrote the piece how blacks would respond. It seems that the intelligent ones read it as I intended. Namely, with an open mind and an open heart, whereas others merely took umbrage that a white person would dare to write the truth.

WHEN WILL WHITE PEOPLE EVER WIN?

Whites are in a no win situation regarding anything Black.

SO REALLY, THEY WERE KINDA LUCKY

if the Black's had not been brought over as slaves, they would still be in Africa and subsequently have a much lower standard of living and wanting to come here anyways.

IN FACT, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHITES HAVE IT WORSE THAN BLACKS EVER DID

Though by definition many of us are slaves as well through increased government control and higher taxes.

YOU NIGGERS OWE ME ONE WHITE FOOT, SIZE 11E

Blacks owe ME, PERSONALLY.... The blacks were slaves and deserve special handouts a century later. Well, slavery ended because a lot of white guys DIED to end it. One of my great-great-grandfathers came back from the Civil War without a foot and another didn't come back at all.

MAYBE!

The very people that always responds to white people with the same ole come back; "You are a racist" are in fact the biggest racist of all. Nothing is 100%, but the average black person has a deep hatred for most or all white people. And only because of the color of their skin. The average black person cannot talk very long before race is part of their message. I do not notice that when the average white person talks. Maybe I'm wrong.

SOME OF THEM ARE ALMOST HUMAN

I think your "role models are too often basketball players who make more babies than baskets; whose language skills are embarrassingly abysmal" line is a bit over the top. I have been favorably impressed during some recent post-game interview by how well-spoken the athlete was --- in a couple of cases the black athlete made more sense than the white interviewer.

LISTEN TO MY FUNNY COMEDY ROUTINE

Burt, I'm offended, I'm deeply, deeeeeply offended Burt- You said the N-word, I know it was in context to a Chris Rock monologue, but he is a black guy, you're a white guy you can't say that man, I'm hoit(ebonics for hurt) and scarred by you saying that (sniffle!) because after some 800 years of oppression at the hands of your ancestors Burt (boo hoo) you saying that word just (sniffle!) makes really, really sad man. Burt don't you know (Waaaa! Waaaa!)(crying uncontrollably now) I'm a human being Burt-I hoit(ebonics for hurt) Boit (ebonics for Burt). I really, really hoit Boit

NO, I SWEAR, THIS REALLY HAPPENED

Several years ago I attended a seminar where someone professed that the early Egyptians themselves were Negro. During the Q&A afterwards I asked "If that is so, who were Pharoah's slaves.?" The presenters only reply was...."Next question..."

MY KEYBOARD IS BROKEN

The Ni**ers don't want a conversation, and they don't want responsibility. Hence their treatme*t of such people as Cosby, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, Sowell, etc. To the Publicity Wh*re and those that buy into his crud, they are worse than racists: they are traitors...

BLACKS ARE THE REAL RACISTS

I have lived in the south for over 10 years and I have yet to meet a white bigot, but the black bigots are a dime a dozen.

THIS NEGRO GUM-CHEWING EPIDEMIC IS WORSE THAN WE FEARED

I (and many other people) hate it that, whenever people are sardined in together and can't escape, they pull out the gum and pass it around. I can't stand the look, the sound, or the stench of gum chewing... and I've noticed that if I ask a black person to tone it down, they often seem to assume that it's racial, and that I can't stand it because it's a black person doing it--when nothing could be further from the truth.

THE PROBLEM IS, THERE’S NOT ENOUGH DISCRIMINATION

The key point: I once read that the race problem in this country is not that a black man can't get a seat in a restaurant, it's that a black man can't get thrown out of one.
