Yeah. The whole living in slavery thing was all on them and of their own creation.
So what exactly is this "real truth" anyway about minorities that they object to so much?
Erod -
As long as these are the two ends of the spectrum
Conservative complaint: its all their own damn fault because they don't have what it takes to do what it takes.Liberal complaint: its all the fault of slavery, Jim Crow and racism
there will never be an honest discussion about the problem.
Is it just possible that there is some truth in both positions and the answer lies with acknowledging that and finding solutions which speak to both claims?
Bolded is completely wrong. It's the CONSERVATIVES who believe minorities are just as capable as anyone else. They are our equals.
It's the LIBERALS who think minorities need to have special treatment because they don't have what it takes to succeed without it.
I'm not entirely pleased with affirmative action but there's no doubt the jobs market tends to favor whites, especially the more blue collar you become.

Yes the typical Liberal response, just call people names and lie about them.
Lou Dobbs should help in the further burial of CNN the (Communist News Network) and MSNBC which stands for (Mainly Stupid News By Crackpots).
heheh amusing
First he complains about how some "just call people names and lie about them", and then follows it up by doing the exact same thing he complained about.
Lou Dobbs is a grumpy old bigot. Not much is likeable about that guy.
In the first video he was going to say cotton-pickin'; that's just colloquial speech (maybe not great for use on a national news channel but not racist either-- not anymore anyway).
Go to South and call 5 black guys cotton pickers. See if they don't colloquially kick your ass.
Saying "cotton picking" is NOT going to get you in trouble with anyone in the south. It is a very common saying by people of both races.
So then here is an experiment for you. Walk down to your local 7/11. Wait for a few black guys to pull up and start calling them cotton pickers.

No problem... I've done it many times over my lifetime in the south interacting with black people. Most people in the south, black and white, don't think twice about a common saying like "cotton pickin." It's common vernacular here.
If that's the best you've got, you should pack it up and go home.
and... there's no 7/11s around here.
Actually, I suggest Gill that you try saying that in the Fifth Ward here in Houston, Texas... Then get back too us about on how it went. You, really haven't said it to a black person in that manner, until you have tried it in the fifth ward............

I think that it is a shame that Lou Dobbs is now working on Fox. For the most part I usually agreed with him, but I would rather see him do something other than go to a news station as horrid as Fox.
