    Sorry, thumbs down from me. This is a thin cloak, a lot like a white sheet, in fact. Myself, I always declare "two or more races" because I consider "race" to be a social construct only with absolutely no biological foundation. The sociological equivalent of "race" is "culture" and culture, however inherited and bequeathed can be enjoyed by anyone who passes certain rites of initiation, sometimes quite minimal: the global extension of American music forms and clothing styles are just two easy examples.

    This Department of the Interior webpage cites six cases over 20 years in which appeals courts ruled that discrimination against so-called "White" people is also racial discrimination.

    But do not accept the government's word for it. LexisNexis sells a professional assessment, "Larson on Emolyment Discrimination." You can read the informative blurb here:
    https://litigation-essentials.lexisnexis... versus University of Texas can be read on the SCOTUS website here:

    Basically, Pat Buchanan is just being rhetorical at best. As a "right wing populist" many of his traditionalist political opinions are at direct odds with reality and reason.
    Just for instance:

    and
    http://mediamatters.org/blog/2011/10/21/...
    See also a more balanced view of him:
    "Buchanan is the last of a dying breed of old-school right-wingers. Yet current American political culture owes an astonishing amount to this Irish Catholic son of D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood, even as he fades into disgraced bestsellerdom. Notions such as the “silent majority,” liberal media bias, and the modern culture war all sprang, more or less fully formed, from the head of this former Nixon and Reagan aide, as did a Republican critique of “vulture capitalism.”

    In fact, pretty much everything that constitutes modern-day Fox News can be traced to Buchanan, although Fox’s own fighting Irishman, Bill O’Reilly, is both less intellectual and less independent-minded than the prototype."

    Truer words were never spoken!

    Didn't they do a silent film just a few years ago?

    And wasn't it up for the Best Picture?

    Not to mention that Bill O'Reilly used to be (drum roll)...a TEACHER!

    All liberals think that teachers walk on water, so Bill just might be the Second Coming.

    There are 'good' hoodies...and there are 'bad' hoodies.

    White hoodies that come to a sharp point are the 'bad' ones.

    Depends on which end of the sniper rifle you find yourself.

    Ducking under culture: 'The sociological equivalent of "race" is "culture' That is gobblygook. And it isn't the issue. White=white etc. everyone gets that. And the only socialogically accepted discrinination is currently directed against whites.

    Here's what knocks me out. Most of the hireing is being done by white business owners. Isn't that kinda like biting the hand that feeds you? So, my premise is that those who really want jobs are not discriminating against anyone(outloud). Those that want a handout with no job are discriminating against whites.(it's good business for them).

    Also, Bill O'Reilly is more intellectual than he appears. He is an ACTOR. Anyone with a noodle can tell his comments are dumbed down, and he oftens encourages his guests with supportive comments just to keep them talking. I think we all know where he stands politically and culturally.

    aHah! A "he"...it IS true! No wonder when you said I could borrow it was so far back in that closet I almost didn't see it at first. The SPLC (is that a real place?) wouldn't shoot a man in a hood(y).

    According to you, he probably wouldn't mind.

    The SPLC is hoping that I will try to 'get' it back some evening...they have a 24/7 sniper on duty just for the occasion.

    They will claim Stand Your Hood (read: ground).

    Then you might like The General, with Buster Keaton.

    It is based upon a true Civil War event, but gets off track towards the end, as to the facts. Anything Buster did had to have a happy ending, and that wasn't the case in the true event.

    Well it's on display NOW...it wasn't THEN. And I wasn't accusing YOU of wearing the lipstick, it had obviously gotten on your hood from someone else, who's name I won't mention in a public forum.

    My old hood is currently on display at the Southern Poverty Law Center, so you are thinking about someone else.

    Besides...Punk Purple has always clashed with my Chartreuse nail polish. I wouldn't be caught dead in it!
