The murderer who killed six members of the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin founded a white-power rock group in 2005. This connection exposed a link between hate groups and their music, which includes lyrics of hateful acts toward minorities, Jews and non-whites.
Marilyn Mayo monitors hate groups for the Anti-Defamation League. Mayo told the AFP, "Hate music helps bring haters together into a shared community." Hate groups and their members meet through hate music and hate-music festivals.
“Racist music is what keeps the movement young” and sets it apart from the image of white-hooded Ku Klux Klan members “sitting on the front porch with a shotgun,” said one-time skinhead Frank Meeink on MSNBC television. Do you think hate music should be censored? Will censoring this type of music prevent tragedies like the Wisconsin massacre from happening?

Upholding affirmative action for one, I'm sorry, you live life by the writ of your actions, NOT by the color of your skin, If you do well in school, you get the grants and scholarships, it shouldn't be that you get it just because your asian, or german, or african american, or swedish.
By your actions shall you be judged, by your actions shall you succeed, by your actions shall you fail.
But what the hell do I know, I'm just a bloody Independent Russian.
TANSTAAFL and good day.
At face value its a good idea, but in actuality it panders to someone over skin color and not their academic work. Entitlement as it were, I'm sorry but I despise all forms of entitlement, this country was founded upon the back of hard work and responsibility, why change that now?
Because someones upset and jealous of what others have?
I was referring to academic affirmative action btw(apologies for the generalization). I do not think you should be granted special rights because of whats between your legs, or what your melanin content is.
Equal rights means equal responsibilities, you want to go to that fancy college? Work hard in school, keep your grades up, don't turn around and say "Oh I'm an underprivileged american, I want into MIT even though my GPA is 2.2, your just not letting me in because I'm black/female/asian/german/rus... There is NO such thing as underprivileged, only under-responsible.
Second you are not referring to affirmative action... Obama is doing this because blacks test lower. I think a good leader should get to the core and find out whats going on, that's not racism that's being a good leader...
He also set up a task force to look into young Chinese Americans being thrown into the sex trafficking in the USA, is that racism also? Or are you just concerned when its a black person?
Also i suggest you look into affirmative action, that IS what he is doing, I believe you should get the merits of your work. Someone who tests low obviously didn't study hard enough, and don't give me any bunk about it being because of a shoddy school system.
I used to work as a janitor and substitute teacher in inner city st louis schools, By God there is a damn good reason those kids test low....because they don't give a rats ass about their education most of the time, I had ONE student that actually listened, I gave him all the time i could afford outside school(HE is going places, is going to school for the same degree I am, aerospace engineering). I will say there are some teachers who make the best of it, but the human mind is capable of overcoming anything(it amazes me people are unable to overcome their liberalness, i think thats just stubbornness though).
I agree everyone should be able to pursue a good education, but Never should they be allowed to get it without first earning it.If they earn it, more power to them, but if they do not....
This is just another example of entitlement clouding the masses judgment, feed them a sad sob story and they come to coddle you.

Also that task force has been around since the late 80's, all obama did was change the name and "voice his support" for the program.
BTW, You should think about getting a Job at the new york fisheries, all that red herring tossing your doing would qualify you for a WONDERFUL position with them.
Gimme a break.
Also you DID call me a racist.
And I quote; "Or are you just concerned when its a black person?"
Implied racism, is still racism.
But enough with the semantics, I will stand by my statement, If you didn't earn it, you don't deserve it.
My grandmother lived through the dustbowl, she was one of the main people in my early life "waste not want not" and "earn your bread" were common sayings around me during my early years.
Whats really funny? I had open heart surgery when i was two years old(don't believe me I'll show you the scars and the 5 belly buttons)! I was "handicapped" as it were as a youngster, but i STILL managed to earn my keep.
I have no need to try something again that I have already won....see thats what my GRANDFATHER taught me, Fight for it once, keep it forever.
Sadly many don't know what this even is these days.
By the time i was 7 I had a very good grasp of reproduction and anatomy, as well as a good aim.
Early education should come from both books and hands on learning.
Small wonder i graduated High school at 16 and had a bachelors degree by the time i was 20.
Also, you learn well through hard work, but what would you know about that? Ever had to plant and harvest your own food? How about track kill and cook it?
I was doing all that by the time I was 8,but thats what happens when you live off the land, your taught how to survive and how to think.
Most 8 year olds these days can barely track a twinkie and the television remote down.
You would be surprised how many of us "southern folks" are above average afa intelligence goes.
I do however agree that everyone should be able to get a good education, the college system is a damn joke :\

If the anti-Semitics and racists are smart, they'll stay hidden in their basements. Moves like this will just get them eradicated by the rest of us.
