90-Year-Old C-SPAN Caller Wants ‘Coloreds’ To Thank White People For ‘Free Everything’

but there are differences between blacks and whites... though these differences are really nothing in comparison to our similarities.

Too bad gays have to wait for the boomers to die to get rights.

It really is a shame!

nope, by 2014 the majority of votersw will be below 35, the largest group supporting homosexual rights

Hey!!!!!!!! I am a boomer and I am for gay rights. God, I hate labels!!!!!!!! I may be on my way out and I know I am amoung a few, but don't us few count for anything?

Well, THIS "boomer" has never given up, and doesn't plan to. I'm third-generation activist for the rights of all beings. Surely you don't want folks like ME to just up and die...

Of course not!! When I think of people like my aunt who hold such primitive views, yes, I think to myself, "let's just wait for them to die." But then when I think of people like the two of you, I realize that's not what I should be awaiting.

And actually, I've met a lot of great Boomers lately... So I guess I take it back, but you know what I meant. I want the bigots to die off.

ALSO: remember that I went to Pepperdine, where 1 in 2 students are lameo bible-thumping judgmental evangelical clones of their parents. So, I suppose it doesn't have much to do with generations specifically, but with Religious Assholes.

There. I want Religious Assholes to die off.

And yes, I did know what you meant... I just knew others would be reading everything, so I wanted to clarify. YOU know the difference. So do I. And I do care about you -- immensely -- and it just always knocks me out when I think about your Pepperdine connection. For the life of me, I can't imagine how you made your way through all that crap.

I did so by working as much as possible at Starbucks (the one at Trancas by Zuma) and getting to know the locals and really EXPERIENCING the community.

As for the climate on campus & in class, let's just say it was usually lonely. Did I have a college experience? Nope. I lived at a religious resort for 4 years is all. But at least it brought me to LA & I still wouldn't change any of it.

What a crock of BS.

What a dumb ass

And, the people who will be paying off the communists' multi-trillion debt for the rest of your lives. I hope those under 35 wake up one day and realize that neither Marx or Castro, or that little pigmy in N.Korea ever made communism work. Our "democrats" here certainly are doing nothing but screwing your futures up people.

What makes me a dumbass? Going to Pepperdine or working at Starbucks?

Not to worry... he was speaking about himself.

This is just freaking ignorant. It's highly unlikely that the old bat even knows what the Tea Party is. The blacks in the Tea Party I'm sure don't consider themselves racists, and the vast majority of the whites involved in the movement are not racists. Just because millions of people do not agree with a Leftist president, empowered by a Leftist congress does not mean they are racists. Grow up.

what blacks. Oh I am sure you can run out a few token blacks who sincerely believe in the agenda but they are a tiny minority. However, this is just the kind of person who would be swayed by Tea Party candidates who use all the right code words to get across the point that they want one of which is that minorities are bad and spending all of our hard earned tax money on malt liquor and cigarettes. Millions of people think that the lefties are giving away all their hard earned tax money to other people. They are ok with all the money that is spent on them like medicaid and free scooters for retired white middle class Republicans.

dc these guys posting are the racist presidents bloggers. Nothing you say will have an impact on them at all.

Sparky why dont you put down dick and jane and show me some actual examples of this "racism".

Imagine if you would have stayed in the Caucus mountains in Europe. You're not indigenous to this country.

Ungrateful.

glad you mention Caucus Mountains... the funny thing is that whites are named after them but few to none actually came from there at all. it would be like calling ALL people of african origin as Nigerians. I'm just saying that the word falls as short in descriptive ability as "black" does and equally doesn't reflect anything beyong ignorance.

yeah that whole "be gratefull" bullshit is retarded.

slavery has a long and anchient history, black people were not the only group to be subjected as slaves, they're just the latest to be such in our learned history. vikings, muslims, the chinese, the romans... all had slaves, even the african tribes that the europeans raided or traided where often slavers themselves. the fact that the native african tribes were traiding slaves (of equivalent skin pigment) to me means that it's NOT about race but Class.

slaves are a class, not a race. and yes this class has done much if not most of the construction of modern civilization.

wtf are you talking about?she's right?...hahaha I love when the idiots on this site come out of the woodworks.

People like that are still racist to me.They may not hate blacks but they definitely see them as lesser people.My wife's grandparents are the same way.

We already have WET. Its called NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX...If most shows weren't so white washed there wouldn't be a need for BET. The fact is most network shows are predominantly white.

so "give 'us' our own channel" is the thought? isn't that the same thing as whites wanting their own channel/ resturants...?

also I don't own a TV or really ever see it, but I have seen enough to know that this is a retarded NON-issue. I understand there may be a language barrier or similar, thus we have spanish channels and the like. but the fact that we do have so many spanish channels means to me that it's NOT about race (because most spanish speaking people in america are usually latino), because it if were about race then latino's would be considered superior to blacks because of media representation. do you think that's true? I don't think that's true. though, I am aware of a sort of 'hirearchy of racism'...

just a thought ? a shallow thought at that I might add.

If mainstream media was all inclusive, and unbiased in their duties of news coverage, there would be no need the Asians, Hispanics, Arabs too have their own magazines, newspapers and Television networks in this country ? Unless you're reporting crime, mainstream media doesn't really cover Black news.

White entertainment television does exist. It exist in the form of Fox News, The Bill O'Reily Show,The New York Daily Post, The Drudgery Report, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Wall Street Journal and many other news outlets in America. Again, unless Black crime is being reported, these outlets are completely void of even mentioning the existence of Blacks in this country.

There's a ghetto in nearly every city in this country. America is far from being past the race issue, and if your great grandparents are still pointing out the race of African Americans, referring to us a "nigro", they may be racist.

Do they point out the race of their White friends too ?

Oh, but there is white entertaiment t.v. Just turn on your t.v.. See there it is. Blacks have one t.v. station BET. Whites have the rest. So white t.v. is there honey. just open your eyes and see who is on. CSI,CSI=Miami, Bones, Supernautrual, How I met your mother, Two and a half guys, the history channel, ect. You count on one hand the amount of black t.v. shows. Try and let me now what you find.

Thank you, thats what i'm saying!!!!!!!!!

it's not WHITE entertainment because there are white people. I've seen k9, mtv... there are black people on it... but again I repeat, I don't own a tv or watch them so I may just be ignorant to this. but my point about the spanish channels remains valid... the fact that there ARE so many spanish channels, at least to me, means the media isn't racist.

pointing out a hierachy of racism is not a "shallow thought" as you put it my friend... it's something that I doubt many ever consider. personally I'm a mut, and have grown up hearing stories from my grandparents (on all sides) related to this, most importantly I think are the stories from my kiowa grandmother, who informed me that "black's aren't treated as bad as mexicans, who aren't treated as bad as indians..."

I'm not saying media is "all inclusive", I never said that. but I am trying to say that having a majority of white people on TV doesn't in itself make media racist, and thinking it does IS racist in itself.

you can pick and choose stations and programs to make the point, and that just shows your own bias... as I said before how can you explain the spanish channels? IF the media really IS racist.

yes, there is a "ghetto" in most cities, but agin I remind black people are NOT the only ones to live in poverty or ghetto. the ghetto in my city is full of white tweakers and not any black people. so don't think that only black live in ghetto's, that's not true.

also my point about the BET and WET was to show that we're NOT quite past the racism thing just yet... I agree that white people tend to be more prevalent on TV than black people, but I just don't think it's BECAUSE of whites vs. blacks or anything like that...

as an example I live in Idaho, here we have a very small population of black people (almost all are african refugees) anyway, we have WAY more latinos than blacks, so from the perspective of a broadcaster and advertisements, why bother with programming or ads catered to such a small minority? this is also why, and I don't know about other cities, we have so many spanish channels (in Idaho). this is different in other places of course, but I think the point remains valid. That is, why cater to a minority? perhaps in alabama or someplace where the demographics are different and more diverse than in Idaho, it would make sense to broadcast media catered to the demographics of that population. all I mean is that FUBU comercials would be pointless in idaho (I don't even know if that company even has commercials) and that it's not racist to NOT have them.

I'm not justifying any racism, i'm saying that TV programming is usually made for targeted audiences, and that in many cases perhaps more often than not, the targeted audience just happens to be a majority (here) of the local population.

maybe you folks know better than I do. In places where black people are the majority, are the TV programming and ads catered to them or to whites?

Ok so when do whites get a White Holiday? Oh that would be Racist right? Blacks celebrate June Teenth and Martin Luthers B Day, Mexican celebrate Cinco De Mayo and Cesar Chaves B Day... So when can we be fair and have a White Pride day? I am Native American by the way so it's just a question.

well put sir

No what you are hearing is the reality of the situation. But close your eyes and your ears and maybe when you open them up again thing will have changed. I am so glad you think that the cultured norms have changed, but really they haven't. You jsut can't lynch people these days. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!!!

no, it's really sad.
