Yeh, I'm sure they report the news right down the middle. Just the facts, right?


I agree, it is hard to find a completely unslanted deliver of information in media or writing,,,,,

the truth is usually some balance of information from several sources and if one googles racist hate crime, there are nearly one million of such sources to start balancing the truth from

and the library even has books on this very real subject as well





That's what I was trying to get at. Journalism, as we knew it growing up, is dead. The news industry has transformed into a game of ratings driven "gotcha". It is no longer important to be truthful or to actually report the facts. Now it is a profit driven machine that's sole purpose is to capture eyeballs and mouse clicks for advertising revenue.

And this is for all sides of the political spectrum as well.


The SPLC is not a news org...they are not "profit driven".

Not sure what the objection to watching hate groups is...

The slimy, bottom-feeding race-baiters live everywhere ... politics, 'religion', the 'media' ... everybody with a shovel and a cup has a story about 'injustice' or how 'the man's keepin' me down' to sell ... the institution formerly known as 'the media' has formally morphed into what it has been all along - a functional arm of the Left in this country. Sure, there was a time when 'journalists' weren't as open about their prejudices as they are now (e.g., Chris Wallace's statement about how 'The ONE' " ... makes a thrill run up my leg! ... "), but they've always been (a) liberal, and, (b) predominantly Democratic in surveys taken of their political leanings. Now the 'Fourth Estate' is merely the willing propaganda machine for the Leninist administration that's been successful in hiding its real agenda long enough to get people to vote for it. Wonder how the black and Latino communities are feeling these days now that their anticipated 'share' of the 'stimulus' money hasn't been (and won't be) forthcoming ... ?

Ending 'racism' begins with EACH of us. The ones who keep it alive are the ones who have something to gain from its continued existence ...

AS a female and a black woman, I was unaware some special share was set aside for me. Contracts usually involve people applying, competing, and winning.

I do agree that ending racism starts with each of us though.

The objections come from citing a source that "keep(s) an eye on the radical right" as if it were an unbiased paragon of journalistic integrity. It's not.

I'm happy to hear we agree on at least ONE point ... as for those 'contracts' being awarded under the 'porkulus' bill, they're so 'old school' ... 'apply', 'compete', and 'win' are such 'capitalist' concepts and, as such, no longer apply in this 'brave new world' of 'progressive' ideology ... and, if you read 'Brave New World', you'll remember and note that the statement made by 'Napoleon', the pig and central character, is being applied viciously by this 'administration' ... "All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others." True dat, in this 'brave new world' of 'hope 'n change' ... damned shame, too, 'cuz it didn't have to be this way.

ahh, but it was this way LONG before this administration. In a capitalist society, money is the equalizer.

This is fning hilarious..

We have had 3 left wing nutjobs committing terrorist acts in the last month.. And you have the balls to post this BS...

1. Amy Bishop... Killed 3 people at the University Of Alabama because she was refused tenure..

"A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children - the youngest a third-grade boy - was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting".

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1232943&format&page=1&listingType=Loc

2. Joe Stack.. Flew his plane into the IRS building in Austin, Texas.. His unibomber style manifesto sounded like something coming from the religion haters here on mingle, and then summed it all up with ...

The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

3.John Bedell.. The Pentagon shooter..

The Associated Press reports that Bedell was connected with a social networking page that believed the government was responsible for Sept. 11, 2001.

What a surprise.. A 9-11 truther..

thank you for the information,,,,,,

perhaps parents need to do more to raise citizens who respect each other and schools need to incorporate anger management as an elective alongside home economics,,,,,,,

I don't know about you . asking for the laws to be enforced is not racist that I know of . the people who run around playing at war are republicians . they well always be here it is legal to do nothing .
people who run around screaming racism are boring .
the rest of the would be racist are raimbow folks . you could say the mexicans are raciest they are trying to make the blacks move out of there nieborhoods . but if there light I guess you would call them white even if they don't speaka the language .stop seeing devils everywhere . it makes you look like an idiot ..


I dont see racists everywhere, but I am aware of racial hate groups and people who take their hate to extremes with harmful action. To ignore racism would be as silly as to be obsessed with it, I just appreciated the information.


ok tell me one racist thing that has happened in the last 10 years ....and don't tell me about something thats not 100% meant to harm you because your black .



the disparate propensity for police to suspect black drivers of carrying drugs,,,for one

there are many things going on TODAY that could be listed, they dont please me that there are and I am not here to boast about them or point fingers,

I am here only to ask that people not be blind enough to believe that racism has magically disappeared or that peoples hearts and stereotypical beliefs have magically been changed(even, sadly, within our institutions and government)

so the answer is nothing , your just a race baiter .

was there a question I did not answer? if so, please post it.

The question I thought I answered was to give ONE example of a racist 'thing' happening and I did that.

also curious as to how discussing the topic is 'baiting'?

"Journalistic Integrity"...they are not shooting for awards in publishing works...tho~ their mag won an award recently, no they are about exposing and bringing down the radicals who would harm people because of the colour of their skin or for who they may love. The SPLC fights hate, teaches tolerance, and gets justice...again how could anyone attack this org? Really? Is it THEIR fault that the RW loonies are on the rise? The majority of Americans elected a person of colour into the WH and now a minority of terrorists, white hate groups are using it to get money, people, and eventually power...let's hope the SPLC continues to expose and go after them...we can't let ignorance, paranoia, and hate grow...those are NOT American values that any sane person would embrace.

~~~~

"Over the past 25 years, the SPLC has crippled some of the nation's largest and most violent hate groups by helping victims of racial violence sue for monetary damages. Its victories include a $7 million verdict against the United Klans of America in 1987 for the lynching of Michael Donald in Mobile, Ala.; a $12.4 million verdict against the White Aryan Resistance in 1990 for the brutal murder of an Ethiopian student in Portland; and a $6.3 million verdict against the Aryan Nations in 2000 that forced the organization to give up its 20-acre compound in Idaho"

And more recenty:

"The Southern Poverty Law Center today won a crushing jury verdict against one of the nation's largest Klan groups for its role in the brutal beating of a teenager at a county fair in rural Kentucky.

The $2.5 million verdict will likely cripple the Imperial Klans of America, which has 16 chapters in eight states.

"The people of Meade County, Kentucky, have spoken loudly and clearly. And what they've said is that ethnic violence has no place in our society, that those who promote hate and violence will be held accountable and made to pay a steep price," said SPLC founder and chief trial attorney Morris Dees, who tried the case. "We look forward to collecting every dime that we can for our client and to putting the Imperial Klans of America out of business."
