    The penguin sees a pointless argument. The polar bear sees lunch.

    When called a racist, ask, “Did you pick your parents? Neither did I. Only your actions matter.” Now go be a good citizen.

    If I’ve understood this comic correctly, Wiley has made a statement about the very deep divide between some US citizens right now that astonishes me. Could he possibly be suggesting that some people believe that only one group of us can complain about discrimination? Nah….

    @jenifer, I spent 14 years in Asia where I was a minority, cursed at, stared at and treated badly by police, so yes I CAN complain about discrimination because I’ve lived it. I have an AmerAsian son who lives it and isn’t the “right” minority for any race based grants or scholarships.@SizeofaPea the point of the comment is that no one picks the race they are or their skin color so stop using it as an excuse to do stupid crap and don’t try and tell me I wouldn’t understand. To fulfill MLK’s dream, get an education and be judged by the content of your character.

    I’m going to guess “Jenifer” had never seen the “Irish need not apply” signs and that she was never taught in school about the Irish slaves brought to Canada. Of my 4 grandparents 1 was fully Scottish, 1 was a mix of everything, & the other 2 were Irish. They families arrived to America 60 years apart. When the first ones arrived it was okay to be Irish. When the second ones came things had changed and they dropped the “Mc” from the family name.

    In high school my “Minorities Studies” teacher was president of the local chapter of the NAACP. Coincidentally the one that was bombed a few weeks back. It’s been almost 30 years, so I am sure he wasn’t there. We would get into huge debates over racism. His very class was racist. We spent 1 week on the Asian American, 2 weeks on the Native Americans, & 2 MONTHS on the “African-Americans”. The fact that Asia is the largest continent and covers everything from Chinese & Indians to Persians & Jews was a little insulting for them to have a only a week. Native Americans are always lumped together, but each tribe was unique. I will say this for him. He didn’t sugar-coat the conditions of the black man in Africa of the time. The image of white guys running around & grabbing blacks in erroneous. Most slaves were already slaves in Africa. That fact that it still occurs is what’s really frightening.

    Like.

    Her bio says she lives on a tropical island far away, so her only source of information is second hand or worse. With no concern about media bias, she lives in a dream world of fruity drinks with umbrellas served by people of color while writing comments about how other people are racist.

    Just remember, a polar bear is just a rectangular bear after a coordinate transformation.

    A sad encounter who are now victims of false progress. Not the only ones so far apart. Will they be the lone survivors of the deniers or can they help against change a planet.

    But you do know? How, since you appear to be Caucasian yourself? And why is it that you lay the claim of racism on white folk with a logic that says it is because of the color of their skin. It seems pretty hypocritical to me.

    And the attitude of your “bite me” suggests that you are more interested in power than in truth.

    Hardthought: What do parents have to do with it? My father grew up in a town where the “sundown laws” were 24 hours long. They made one exception for a rich widow in that her “Miss Daisy driver” could bring her into town to shop, let her out, and go immediately out of the city limits until the appointed time, come back and get her and immediately leave town. Yet my Dad managed to get over this upbringing enough to preach against the Arizona and California concentration camps during WW-II and work against Jim Crow throughout his ministry. (And so I continue for my own reason.) It is how you personally act, not genealogy.

    This sounds like the type comment someone like A. Sharpton, J. Jackson and their liberal supporters spout. When will people realize “racism” is something that everyone is guilty of, and it is a matter of selfcontrol and character of all people to fight their prejudices. It is human nature to want to support and be with those who look, act , think and have similar traditions to gather together. That is why WE need to treat eachother as we want to be treated, and raise our children that way. Instead of as victims of others, past and present.

    first Jennifer, the sentient and intelligent will run from your bigoted ignorance.second, How about the anti-Irish / anti-Italian movements? How about the ’Know Nothing Party of the 1850s being a strictly anti-German, anti-Catholic party? Maybe you missed the fact that occupancy restriction laws date from the 1890s and were anti-Eastern European laws.All Caucasian groups.

    Lastly, nobody in their left or right mind would get within 10 feet of your putrid ignorance, much less want to bite you.

    You are full of it, dude. Go study the history of Egypt during the BCE timeframe, with the interactions and slavery between them and their black southern neighbors.

    Funny, and here I thought it was about people who are narrow minded, thus “thinking in black and white”…meaning everything is either “good or bad”…and some people evaluate situations and can see the that there are other possibilities. Race didn’t even enter into it.

    I am 66 years old. In my life I have suffered exactly TWO moments of racist feelings..The first occurred in Sri Lanka at the beginning of their civil war — after exploring the island for a month, I entered a store and felt horrified by the people inside. They were the wrong size, the wrong colour and, worst of all, the wrong shape — all grotesquely distorted from what is natural. After a second I realized that they were white people and that’s what I look like..The second time was more serious. I was in an all-night grocery store in Canada, chatting to the teller, when a tall young black man walked in. His skin was so dark that I could not make out his features under his hoodie and rather than go into the store, he strode directly toward us. I found myself staring at him with some fear, then realized the teller was perfectly comfortable and the young man was looking back at me feeling rejection because I was giving him “the Look”. (Every black person in the world knows “the Look”.)I was able to atone by asking him, “I know this is a rude question but how tall are you?” He relaxed immediately, told me he was 6’7" and the three of us had a pleasant conversation.But I still feel the guilt of my first reaction.

    You thought people fought over race, just wait for the Religious war that is right around the corner. And it’s coming whether the one side wants it or not.
