   That makes me literally sick. I have a grandson who has cystic fibrosis. It turns out it runs in my wife’s family, although we never knew that until our grandson was born. My other daughters have been tested and found to be carriers. In order to have active CF, the child must get the gene from both parents. Great strides are being made in diagnosis and treatment. The decision not to help raise funds for research because of “whiteness” and “maleness” is stupid beyond comprehension. A pox on that university and its PC students and faculty.

   I believe that the PC and racism pendulums are at the end of their arc and may start back towards the center.

   Chief RZ: I certainly didn’t “look down” on welfare queens. I had to look up to them, because they were doing far better than I. However, I do feel sorry for their plight. Government threw the fathers out of their homes because the check was bigger without them, the check was bigger with more children, the check was bigger as a single mom. Dad may have wanted to be around, but he got no respect because he wasn’t the provider, the government was.

   It was a cleverly designed plan to produce a voting bloc. It was most effective in the black community already suffering from discrimination, but it also worked for whites that wouldn’t work even when they could.

   Blacks at least had a legitimate reason when it started decades ago (they have no excuse now, imo). The whites that hooked up to the system were just catching the gravy train and are the worst offenders. The bravest among us are the Black conservatives. They are the most abused by both sides. God bless them.

   It’s apparent to me that the government hand-outs are extremely bad for any and all. However, we’ve just elected a man that wants more of it and to the nth degree.

   Thanks to the overthrow of our education system, we have dangerously stupid kids like those in this article, that don’t know the difference between PC and reasonable thought.

   CF is diagnosed just as often among girls as boys, although the health of girls deteriorates more rapidly, she said. It is commonly considered an illness that affects Caucasians, but that includes people from the Middle East, South America, North Africa and the Indian subcontinent.

   ” ‘Caucasian’ as we understand it isn’t just white people,” said Ms. Morrison. “It includes people with a whole rainbow of skins.”

   I never thought of Caucasian as the “rainbow” race, but it would appear that a case can be made that Caucasian is a diverse race in and of itself. The word prejudice refers to prejudgment: “making a decision before becoming aware of the relevant facts of a case or event.” This is precisely what these shallow Carleton University students did.

   Liberals don’t try to end racism, they just change targets. They use race to measure diversity, which they believe is only skin deep. They are the ones who stand in the way of achieving King’s dream of a color-blind society. They depend on the existence of racism and classism to justify the use of force to achieve their Marxist goals and bring about “equality for all.”

   Liberals have no desire to end racism because they depend on it. But when they argue that racism is justified for certain reasons (affirmative action, diversity, etc.), they leave the door open for future generations to justify racism for their own reasons.

   If it is valid for minorities to discriminate against the children of the majority in the name of addressing past grievances, what’s to stop future generations from doing the reverse for the exact same reason? The only way to prevent the pendulum of racism from swinging back the other way is to stop it from swinging at all, which is the last thing Liberals want to do.

   I agree with airbrush – it has reached (and passed) the obtuse.

   PS. Anybody know if L&H’s March of the Wooden Soldiers will be on TV this season? I bought the dvd because I seriously doubt it. A true classic. Screw you if you don’t like it, oh, I mean, Happy Thanksgiving!

   Sickle-cell disease occurs more commonly in people (or their descendants) from parts of sub-Saharan Africa. So are we going to apply the same standards to those who suffer most from this disease, African Americans?

   They don’t have a desire to end racism, because they are and always have been the true racists in America. They like to mask their bigotry with words like “inclusive”, “tolerance”, “diversity”…you know the terms. The far left are the most dangerous enemy any minority in this country can have…just because of their creepy and subtle methods of holding back different minorities from making something of themselves.
