"America was created by whites for whites"

[journalist3072]

So I've been listening to the interview with John Hope Franklin on C-span's "Indepth" series.

And of course they've been talking calls and emails for him.

I almost got knocked off my feet when they read an email to Mr. Franklin from someone in Virgina.

The person wrote in their email to Mr. Franklin that "America was created by whites for whites."

Mr. Franklin is a class act though. He basically said he wouldn't respond to such ignorance.

2. I've heard that from racist types all my life.

My answer has been, "But if that's true, shouldn't the plantation owners in the south have been going to Europe to get their slaves?"

3. When I read about comments like that I understand how....

approximately 30% still support Bush. How stupid can you possibly be to make such a statement.

4. I was walking out of a neighborhood restaurant and spotted a freeptard

couple walking toward me. Behind them was a piece of shit SUV with two bumperstickers, each with a Confederate flag. The one sticker I could make out said, No Shame in Being White.

Apparently, they had no problem with being white and eating at a Mexican restaurant. Stupid morans.

5. I guess the argument could be made that America was created

by the sweat and tears of blacks, browns, yellows and reds, and 'ethnic whites', for the WASP whites.

That seems more accurate to me.

6. Technically correct, when you consider that non-whites were not

considered people, just property and animals. So saying that America was created for the whites was correct. Maybe not correct now, but was until about 50 years ago..

7. This magnificent country was created by people, for people...

and at least some of us try to really make it that way.
