  I recieved this email from a listener in the UK
  

  Dear willie, I'm at working otherwise I'd call into to vent, so you're just getting this steaming email instead :-) Can I say say how offensive in the extreme it is to hear some black-americans refer to others they disagree with as "House Ns". I expect as much from the single mommies of this world, but I was listening to I got my reasons and even the otherwise erudite Donny Love used it against a caller he didn't agree with. And this caller's sin? He had the temerity to say that you cannot blame history for the reason why african american johnny isn't interested in school and achievement in the mainstream sense of the word. If history and subjugation by white is the reason for black under achievement, then why aren't ALL blacks underachieving? I am so sick of hearing the false theory that land inheritance is the reason for the divergent success rates. I'm white and I swear to God my dad didn't leave me a pot to piss in. His father didn't leave him anything but debt. What inheritance are people talking about. What a dumbass I am! I've been working my socks off, and there is a white woman gravy train of land and money out there that I could be tapping into! D'oh! Rant over. Sorry, Willie. It just gets me that people find it easier to moan about history than to take any positive action. Again, these muppets can tell it to my classmate David Lammy, Member of Parliament! Kind regards and sorry I don't get to hear you live that often

PoliticalVindication 8/5/2008 9:37 PM UTC Uncle Tom. Acting white. This is what they call those in their community that dare stand up against the glorification of the gang culture, or the drug scene, or the victicrat mentality that paralyzes potential in a misguided attempt to get back at the white man. I have more respect for black conservatives than any other because I know they have more than liberals that hate them - many times their own family and friends despise them because they have dared step away from the grievance culture. It's very sad, and even more outrageous. How will we ever get beyond race is there are so many that profit from the hatred?

stoke newington kris 7/25/2008 9:15 PM UTC Thank you, Willie. If people want to focus on history, then they should focus on all history: the Irish potato famine, children being sent up chimneys to sweep soot, women being bought and sold TODAY etc, etc. We all have our history to overcome and crosses to bear. Thanks for drawing what you have out of my little tirade and for inspiring me to do what I have to today to contribute and build. Kindest regards, kris
