I'm just saying that painting this broad brush stroke as to how this is affecting "the black mind" is just as wrong as using what I said to broad brush how "the white mind" is affected by this.
I think alot have some level of resentment even if a small amount. Most do not get depressed or overreact over it but to some degree it's in most, IMO. I stress IMO.

Most men don't have problem with women of other races. Climax of racism is from man to man of races. Men generally find women of all cultures attractive, if attractive, that is. Even the ones vocal about not mixing races, kinda wierd. The pride of a culture/race is their women and some don't like seeing a man of another race with "their women".

My wife and I have had more problems from black men then whites. But she is a knock out, so it makes a difference. When we were discriminated against for housing it wasn't from a white person.

But this goes back to not using the broad brush as you stated. No longer can we say whites do such and such or blacks do such and such. Some maybe.

I'm just saying that in my opinion, he and Jesse are too sides of the same coin. They both at times use race, fear related to race, and ridiculous generalities as tools to tap into the fear, resentment, or indignation of their audiences.

I'll read the transcript in its entirety and see if that would make me read these paragraphs any differently.

This is true, stew. And it makes some people hesitate to state opinions for fear of offending someone. But then there are those that like to offend, including all races.

He first played a clip of Jessie Jackson then he pointed to several articles about "black unemployment".

His comments were directed at the liberal elites and their attitude toward black people.

He was not suggesting that all black people have the same frame of mind.
Ferd, I was going to send you a PM to be sure that you saw it, but I figured that I better say this publicly. I did finally get a chance to go back and listen to the audio and frankly I am a bit upset. I hate being manipulated and deceived by propaganda of any sort. In this case it is very clear that Limbaugh's text was taken and presented out of context. I usually try to do my due diligence before I repeat stuff and when I confirmed that he actually said these words, I ran with it.

In listening to the complete context it is obvious to anyone who is trying to be honest that he was attempting to speak for the Jesse Jackson's of the world (who I still insist do not speak for the vast majority of black people but that's a different story).

The only issue I would have with this is that it seemed that adding the Tiger stuff was still a bit overboard. It seemed that that was just him rifting at that point, but the rest of the quote was clearly presented in the wrong context.


For the record, I still don't care for him much
