Under pressure from fellow Republicans, Mississippi Senator Trent Lott
recently stepped down from his post as Senate Majority Leader because of
racially offensive comments he made earlier in the month. He was persuaded
to take this step by Republicans who believed that his comments were at odds
with the principles of their party.
Of course, Democrats have used the Lott affair to pillory the Republicans as
racists. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, who had fir... 阅读全帖 |

By Dennis Prager
January 8, 2013 12:00 A.M.
On the last day of 2012, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen
inadvertently clarified two huge matters regarding the Left.
The first was the ignorance about conservatives and conservatism that
permeates the Left. The second was the primary reason decent people identify
with the Left: the effective caricaturing and demonizing of the Right. Were
it not for caricature and demonization, most otherwise intelligent and... 阅读全帖 |

就像黑人百分比超过15%的13个州里,只有NY和MD是蓝州。
现在的加州,吃福利的比例够小,福利水平才可以这么高。
大赦之后,加州按照现在的福利水平,多出来的这些吃福利的人,就可以把加州财政吃
垮吃破产。
破产之后,大家才会发现福利是无底洞,才能回头搞conservative。
换句话说,福利是有钱的,吃福利人口比例小的州才能玩的奢侈。
所以越是黑人比例高的州,越穷的州,越是conservative. 比如Mississipi,
Louisiana, Georgia这黑人比例最高的三个州。而且这些州里出很多black
conservative, 比如condoleezza rice, Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Allen West,
Thomas Sowell. 我猜hispanic大赦之后也是一样的趋势吧。
当然同样的逻辑不能用在federal government 上,因为fed有印钞机,不会破产。 |

Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him,
and to let him know that you trust him.
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because
he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of
his own merits or efforts.
Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard

美国人(包括白人)在提起白人的种族歧视问题时,总是情不自禁地想到南方的“红脖子
”。
“红脖子”是一个历史性词汇,专门用来指南部那些低教育的穷困白人农 民。比如在
乔治亚和佛罗里达等地叫cracker,在阿巴拉契亚地区叫hillbilly。考察其词源,都有
强烈的贬义。有时人们干脆叫他们“白垃圾” (white trash)。不用说,这些名称既折
射出强烈的地域和阶级偏见,也反映了深刻的社会现实。
自殖民地时代起,南部和新英格兰地区的白人社会就有着强烈的不同。在新英格兰
特别是马萨诸塞,是典型的“五月花”清教徒地区。教科书上的故事虽然过分浪漫 化
、理想化,但在新英格兰落脚的白人,即使不是单纯的朝圣者,至少也属于文化教养比
较高的阶层,而且多是拖家带口的移民。这里很少有巨富,主要是自耕农社 会,大家
比较平等,清教徒那种勤俭奋斗的精神也大体是社会主流。相反,在南方的弗吉尼亚地

根據路透社,聯邦地方法院法官克萊布崔(Daniel Crabtree)本月4日判決宣布堪薩斯州

判決遭到駁回。
法新社報導,根據法庭文件,9位法官中只有史卡利亞(Antonia Scalia)與湯瑪斯(

另一方面,在南卡羅萊納州查爾斯頓(Charleston),聯邦地方法院法官葛蓋爾(Richard

目前共和党唯一的黑人南卡参议员,如果不是被和党州长行政任命,很难想象他能在正

远的比如大法官Clarence Thomas, 就是因为原来的黑人大法官退休,老布什为了打黑
