Oprah: Racists Have to Die for Racism to End

[Novaheart]

Her statement isn't true, long after she dies there will be more flaming racists just like her.

What these people don't get and refuse to believe is that if you could shuffle the gene pool in the US so that everyone is a racial mutt in proportionate degrees, and if you were to cancel our national debt and divide our national wealth equally between all American citizens, within sixty years we would have wealth, subsistence, and poverty. Within 60 years we would have people sorting themselves into groups, and marrying within their own group creating new racial/ethnic distinctions.

We really can just look around the world for examples. Brazil is a favorite. I don't know how they decide who is white and who is black in Brazil, but the Cubans and Puerto Ricans have been drawing lines where others see a blur for a very long time.

The shift back would be within five years not sixty, we need only to look at lottery winners for proof of this.

Obama created Obamacare so old white people would die! Problem solved for Oprah!

[Hawkgirl]

Does this racist still have a large middle aged women following? Or is her cable network failing?

Her cable network is failing.

Noon, tell me something. What would be the media reaction if Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or any other white pundit had said that race relations won't improve until the old race baiters died.

That's why Ben Carson should say it.

[Rockntractor]

That's why Ben Carson should say it.

He has a way of calmly matter of factly stating things without being overtly inflamatory, good idea.

I doubt that it would take longer than a month. When I was in basic training, the 19D (cavalry scouts) OSUT (One-Station-Unit-Training) troops and the 19K (tankers) OSUT companies loathed each other, even though the only difference between us was our MOS. And it didn't take long, either.

People are inherently competitive, it's part of our DNA. Individuals compete with individuals to dominate groups, and groups compete with groups to dominate each other. It's what we are and what we do.

Not just lottery winners, look at professional athletes. There are players who get multi million dollar contracts who end up broke. MC Hammer is another example.

Easy money goes fast but with the athletes they often have to earn it, they surprise me, young and stupid I guess.
